Not by flying or walking but by crossing the dimensional boundary. He scratched the dimensional boundary with the power of the purple light at his fingertips.

A dimensional rift was created, and the situation inside, the Dark Dimension, was revealed. By using the Dark Dimension, he can go to the target location he wants quickly.
Still, Arthur couldn’t force his way into the Night Liberator’s base room as he didn’t know the environment.
He stepped through and disappeared from the place instantly. The dimensional rift vanished, and Sara was still standing there, watching the moment Arthur left.
She could only hope Arthur would be okay there, even if he wore the Night Liberators uniform. Sara resumed washing the dishes and then went to rest in her bedroom once she was done.
Arthur returned to the Dark Dimension for the second time today, seeing Aerith there and sitting on her black rose throne. She looked down and smiled, knowing what Arthur was about to do.
"Are you going to that place?" asked Aerith. Arthur said yes as he raised his head and saw Aerith clearly.
Staying on her throne, she swung her hand to the side to open the dimensional portal. The dimensional rift opened, leading directly to where Arthur was aiming. The man thanked her.
"I see that many people have heavily guarded the town since your infiltration. You have to be careful."
"If you want to escape from them, feel free to call me. I will come," Aerith explained.
"I understand."
Another dimensional rift was created that led directly to the place. Arthur wanted the location of his target not to be in a public place.
Hopefully, the dimensional rift would lead Arthur to another safer place from the Night Liberators’ eyes.
The man stepped inside as the dimensional rift slowly faded and disappeared. Arthur’s eyes opened, seeing that he was in the backyard of a place.
He arrived at a garden-like courtyard with trees lining the place, perfect for the moment he arrived.
Towards the front, he saw the Night Liberator’s 15th base matching what he had seen this afternoon. A few group members were on guard, but none of them patrolled the backyard.
Arthur stepped out with firm steps, putting on a serious face to keep people from suspecting him. From what he could see, one room was still lit, a sign that there were people in the place.

The room was located on the third floor, high enough that Arthur was forced to enter the place and stepped without showing any suspicious gestures.
’Is it possible that Salsabila is in that room?’ Arthur asked, curious.
He entered through the back door of the base and stepped on the first floor; there were not many people in the place.
Most of them were probably fast asleep, especially the top officials of the 15th Night Liberators who took rooms in the base.
"Hey!" someone called out, startling Arthur and making him look back in response to the call.
"You should be patrolling the town. Why are you here?"
The middle-aged man stepped up to Arthur with his sleeping pajamas clinging to his body; he was the strategist of the 15th Night Liberators. Arthur responded by standing up straight while taking a respectful stance when he came near him.
"It’s like I’ve never seen you before. Which squad are you from?" the middle-aged man asked.
"I’m from the last squad. I—"
"Oh, you’re the new one? I’m sorry, there are too many members for me to keep track of their faces," interrupted the middle-aged man; Arthur just said yes.
"Then what are you doing here, new guy?"
"I found traces of the intruder earlier this afternoon. I need to report it to Captain Salsabilla as ordered by my squad leader."
"Is that so? Alright. If you don’t know where she is, she’s on the top floor of this base. She seems to be awake considering the threat from the intruder," explained the man in front of Arthur, indirectly helping Arthur find the woman’s location.
Arthur thanked him and said goodbye; he started to walk towards the elevator that was available there. Just before he entered, the middle-aged man stopped Arthur for a moment, startling him.
"If you’re done with her, can you bring some wine to my room?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Sure. I’ll bring it to you."
Arthur entered the elevator and immediately went to the third floor. The man could breathe a sigh of relief with his heart still beating fast, the middle-aged man was weaker than him, but that almost revealed Arthur’s disguise.
If his disguise failed, Arthur would have to go with the second plan: to kidnap Salsabila by fighting. That would only be if his primary plan failed.
However, knowing this, Arthur doubted his plan would fail so easily. He was already in the enemy’s main base and undetected by anyone. Arthur was already in the elevator and ready to enter Salsabilla’s office. What else did he have to fear?
The elevator doors opened, revealing a third-floor hallway with a room door on the left, a large glass window on the right. Four rooms were on this floor, three top officials’ rooms and Captain Salsabila’s office.
Surprisingly, Salsabilla’s office was not guarded by anyone. This contrasted with her decision to order a tight guard after Arthur’s infiltration.
’She left her office unguarded. Is it out of carelessness, or is she confident in her abilities?’ Arthur asked, curious.
KNOCK!
Arthur knocked lightly on the door as a voice from inside the room told him to come inside. Arthur opened the door and saw a woman in a T-shirt and trousers sitting on the sofa. Her Night Liberators uniform was not worn properly; she chose to wear it like a coat.
The 27-year-old woman with maroon-black hair glanced at the door to her study. Her black eyes stared intently at Arthur. She kept the book she was reading on the table.
"What’s the matter?" asked Salsabilla.
"Report, Captain Salsabilla. Our squad found traces of the intruder’s magic," Arthur replied, standing at attention.
"Did you? Then why didn’t you go to look for it?" asked Salsabilla, still seated as she looked at Arthur.
"It’s because the trail led to this place."
"What do you mean?"
Arthur smiled with a grin. He moved his hand quickly forward, bringing forth purple magic to form a monster hand that gripped Salsabilla’s body. The woman was in shock, trying to dodge and resist, but she failed.
"Damn it! What are you—"
"You’re the intruder, huh? I was tricked," Salsabilla complained, unable to do anything about it.
"You left your office unguarded. Are you really confident to fight me?" asked Arthur, changing his appearance from the Night Liberators uniform to a purple-patterned black suit.
The man pulled the monster’s hand to bring Salsabilla close to him. His face and Salsabila were so close that Arthur could feel the breath and fragrance of the woman’s body.
"Who the fuck are you? What are you trying to do to me?" asked Salsabilla, curious.
"Tell me, what was the reason for your enmity with Sky Sword?" asked Arthur.
"Why don’t you ask your captain?"
"She’s not my captain. My relationship with her has been pretty bad lately," said Arthur.

Salsabilla stared at Arthur carefully, wondering if there was any other reason for Arthur to arrest her. Due to the situation’s urgency, Salsabilla was forced to tell the truth about everything.
"It’s because Sky Sword is trying to seize the town. This is the Night Liberators’ town. We built it with our blood and sweat!" Salsabilla emphasized.
"Tris started the war five months ago, even though we have good relations. We let Sky Sword into the town without any threats. But they betrayed us," Salsabilla said.
"I did all these things to protect my town. As long as I’m alive, I will not surrender this town to Tris!" the woman scolded.
"Is it because of your fear that so many townspeople live in fear?" asked Arthur.
"It’s because of the Sky Sword. We wouldn’t have done this if she hadn’t threatened us."
Salsabilla said all these things firmly. Arthur could read the look and gesture the woman was showing. She showed no signs of lying at all.
Arthur was pretty lazy to deal with politics like now, but because the safety of the 13th squad was threatened, he was forced to do so.
A crazy idea emerged from the situation. It was possible that this idea could free the 13th squad from the threat of Tris for the time being.
"How secure is the 15th Night Liberators base?" asked Arthur.
"Many members of the Night Liberators stand guard over here every day. So what?"
"I will release you and let you live on one condition."
"You must allow my friends to stay in this place until the next raid opens."
