Soon, Lionel Yeager carved a bloody path and charged into the palace.
The wizards guarding inside the palace rushed to attack upon seeing him enter.
But, without exception, all were slain by Lionel with a single stroke of his sword.
Immediately afterward, he sprinted up towards the seventh floor.
On the way to the seventh floor, he encountered numerous wizards trying to block his path, but all were cut down by Lionel.
In just less than a few minutes.
Lionel had reached the seventh floor, and after killing all the wizards in the corridor, he fiercely kicked open a door.
The moment the door was kicked open.
"Lionel, you're finally here!"
Elinda cried with joy and threw herself into Lionel's arms.
Lionel sighed in his heart and said softly, "Sorry, I'm late."
Elinda wiped away her tears and said, "I was so scared, I thought I'd never see you again."
"Elinda, are you alright, did they hurt you?"
Lionel asked anxiously.
"I'm okay."
