"I'm sorry," Walter whispered as he turned and jumped off of the roof.
'Oh no, you don't,' Alex called out.
As soon as those words left Walter's mouths, Alex began running towards Walter. He knew what Walter intended to do.
'craaaaaaccccck' three of Matthew's ribs were instantly broken as Alex stepped on his stomach, using him as a spring to propel himself forward.
Hearing the crack, Alex could not resist flashing a paralyzed Matthew, his brightest smile, thinking, 'who told you to get in the way,' as he dived after Walter.
Only five seconds passed, and Alex, too, was off the roof.
Walter was not getting away!
Once off the roof, Alex used his skill precipitation. He needed to see what he was getting into and who was watching.
Knights were running towards the inn as he expected. The commotion Walter created could not have gone unnoticed. Alex also spotted three people watching him on the second floor of another brothel inn. Alex did not know who they were, but he knew they were all dead.
Startled by Alex's presence, Walter turned his head, 'this maniac.'
Walter span around facing Alex, throwing both of his daggers at him. He could not afford to send any wind blades in Alex's direction; he only had enough mana to cushion his fall. Seeing that Alex jump after him, Walter was sure Alex had a way to cushion his fall too. Throwing his daggers was the last attempt of a man who knew that once they both reach the ground, he was dead. His only hope of survival was that others knights heard the commotion and came to his rescue. With no mana left to increase his speed, Walter only held one advantage against Alex: he would land first.
Alex faded, allowing the daggers to pass through him.
'I need to kill him before I reach the ground. Too many knights coming this way.' Alex thought as he crouched into a cannonball position; swung his ghost blade below himself, opening a rift as he fell in the void.
With no mana under his feet, Alex was free-falling within the void.
Blinking three inches above Walter, Alex was positioning himself; while Walter was falling, so was Alex within the void.
Before passing the third floor, Alex opens a rift above Walter (or below himself) with the ghost blade and falls out of the void in the same crouched position.
Seeing a rift spawn so close and on top of him, Walter didn't even think twice; using every drop of mana in his body, he sent a barrage of wind blades towards the void. He didn't care about leaving any mana to cushion his fall; he needed to be alive first.
The wind blades enter the void, only to shredded into nothingness, and out came Alex.
Instantly assuming the diving position, elongating his body, ghost blade in hand as he pierced Walter's throat.
Walter could only stare back, eyes wide as Alex yanked the blade out of his throat and sheath it in its scabbard.
*Ding*
[you have received 1100 exp for killing a human 14 levels higher than you]
[You have received 300 sin points (SP)]
The entire sequence happened in ten seconds. They were still in the air.
Passing the second floor, Alex immediately retrieves Walter's corpse, placing it in his storage ring as he opens a rift below himself and disappears into the void.
Within the void, Wasting no time, Alex drank various potions, ensuring that he was at peak condition!
He still had many people to kill.
Alex then blinked in front of the brothel inn; his targets were on the second floor. He did not have to worry about Matthew Fraser, who was left on the top of the roof; even if the knights got there, the bastard was practically dead. Even if he wanted, Matthew could not relay what happened. Even if they suspected it was Alex, he was about to correct that situation with a bunch of arrows and shouting. His plans could cause the kingdom to plunge into a civil war with commoners against nobles. But this did not matter to him; it had nothing to do with him.

Witnesses Point of View
Inside the brothel inn, the second floor in the eight-room, three women witnessed Alex's and Walters fight while falling off the roof.
Walter's large tornado drew them to the window but, they could not see what was happening. Until they noticed a knight diving headfirst off the top of a four-story building. Two out of the three women gasped at the anticipated horror, only to witness Alex follow him. They watched with anticipation of how the battle would. The battle in the air was breathtaking and one-sided. The women never saw the skill that Alex used before. Weapons pass him like nothing, then he could disappear and reappear whenever he wanted. The two younger women wanted to meet Alex but knew too well that was impossible.
'Maybe with their father's help!'
They were drawn to how the battle would end. Two out of the three women recorded the ending part of the fight to show their fathers hoping to discover Alex's identity.
As soon as Alex vanished from the scene, the first person to snap back to their senses was a busty older lady of the night. The other girls were not from this Saint Rothen but a bigger city, where crime might be a rare sight. Or they lived a sheltered life. But for her, a lady of the night, she was not naïve. No witness was the best witness.
The lady of the night dive towards the door, leaving her clothes behind, willing to reveal all her goodies just to escape. The other women were naked too; if the lady of the night opens that door, their goodies would be exposed too. However, the lady of the night did not care about the other women; she had already forgotten them. She got paid, and now her only goal was getting out of the room and vanishing into the night. Although their floor was littered with guards, she did not feel safe.
'who would be? Didn't you see psycho skills?'
As the lady of the night was about to open the door, she froze in place. Then so did other girls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once Alex was on the second floor, he was stunned; the entire floor had knights.
Forty knights!
'What's going on?' Alex thought
These knights were different; they all had matching full body armor and the sun as a crest.

These knights were also more robust than those in the Saint Rothen; Alex could not get any information using his skill inspect.
Alex didn't need to think too much about it; the knights were probably here to protect whoever was in the room. Killing the witnesses was nearly impossible; he could not massacre the entire hall without revealing himself. Nor did he have the strength to accomplish such lofty feats. Alex knew the reason he could kill the knights he had killed was because all of his attacks were surprise attacks, aimed at one goal, assassination. Alex calmed himself down and would decide on a course of action after seeing inside the room.
Alex entered the room and breathed a sigh of relief; the witnesses were three women.
There were no knights in the room, obviously to give the woman's privacy to perform their indecent act.
The women in the room were naked, a beautiful spectacle.

The busty woman was definitely the lady of the night. She was older with jet black hair, curves on curves, and her demeanor was that of a thief about to flee from the scene.
While the other two petite girls stood at the window, naïve to their own demise.
They were twins with blonde hair, petite bodies, and barely any breast.
The busty woman, Rena, ran towards the door with handprints on her breast as they swing side to side.
Usually, Alex would have liked to enjoy the view, but at work, a heart of coal. Alex wouldn't let anyone go. He took out three needles and dip them in the paralyzing venom of the Raška.
Opens a small rift and darted the poison needle at the lady of the night's feet, paralyzing her on the spot.
The other two needles made their way to the small butt cheeks of each of the twin sisters, paralyzing them too.
Looking over the women again, Alex imagined the women were playing some kind of "Mommy" game.
Each of Rena's nipples was erect and red, While each of her busty breasts had two handprints each.
Either the twins enjoyed breast, or they were abusive.
But that did not matter; they were already dead from the moment Alex spotted them.
