I always thought that the Belmonts were just that fast, and ran outside in the time (usually seconds) that the castle crumbles. Think about it, they're slaying all kinds of monsters and bosses, while exploring a huge castle all in one night. Simon's running and jumping speed is pretty apparent in Chronicles, where the falling bridge pieces seem so slow in comparison. Ditto to Richter doing the same in Rondo of Blood. I've never seen a Belmont using teleport magic, which is what Alucard/Soma presumably used as well as Julia after CoD.

I like to think that the Vampire Killer keeps the castle together just barely enough for the Belmont to escape. Like if it was protecting it's owner.

That's an interesting point. The one time the castle doesn't crumble (after it's sealed in the eclipse) it doesn't crumble. Coincidentally, Julius specifically states he left the VK in Castle [Eclipse] to weaken it. Granted if the Castle is sealed in the eclipse it will only temporarily manifest in the physical world. However, this could mean that the VK potentially correlates to the Castle being somewhat stable.

(Side note: I think the fact Julius left the VK in CV is interesting, he would have been young when he destroyed Dracula, and perhaps the other reason for doing it is that the VK acquires strength when not used by the Belmonts - between SOTN>1999 they didn't touch it)

I heard that this is a video game. As such, it never really happens. Whatever story you want to make up is good enough. If it works for you, that's all that matters.

I thought that since all of the monsters or enemies was killed or gone, they won't be a hindrance anymore so any Belmont or heroes has enough time to escape before the castle crumbles.

Kinda reminds me of House of the Dead credit sequence, the player went all away from the last stage to the first stage and it just take a few minutes until he gets out from Curien mansion.
