It all happened too fast. The prince's butler was only starting to realize that Prince Adolf was under an assassination attempt. "Come, men! Our prince is being attacked," he shouted as loud as he could.
Yet, all the reply that he got was the dead silent night. There was no elven guard out of the building to respond to him. Luckily for Adolf, Arvid was an experienced man. He knew that the only way to survive was to escape into this hall room.
Combat qi started emerging out of Arvid's body. When it was covered around his entire body, he stomped on the ground so hard that the tiles shattered from the impact. With the speed of an arrow that's been fired, he ran to the door to get out the hall room.
"Soon," he thought. His life would be saved if he got out, but he didn't. There was an invisible that was blocking his way. He didn't notice until he smashed his head into it. He was protected by his own combat qi armor, but it sure didn't feel good.
