I Really Don’t Want to Be the Ruler of the Abyss! - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: First Confrontation (2)

Seeing that he was only 10 meters away from the murderer, Rollin was ready to attack.

But for some reason, the man was still squatting there motionlessly.

“Not satisfied with the target?”

It shouldn’t be, because the man’s eyes were already staring at the target greedily.

This behavior couldn’t help but surprise Rollin. This man was really too cautious. He didn’t react at all until the target approached him.

Even if the police station was looking for bait, they would not be able to do anything to him!

When he was only one meter away, he finally took action. He took out an iron rod.

When the woman approached him, he quietly stood up and raised his hand to accurately hit the back of her head..

The woman did not even have time to react before she fell to the ground.

The black-robed man skillfully picked up a body bag and put the woman in it. Then, he carried her on his shoulder and prepared to leave.

The direction was in Rollin’s direction.

As he kept getting closer and closer, Rollin had already raised the weapon in his hand and was ready to give his opponent a fatal blow.

Because he was highly focused, he did not notice Monica who had sneaked over.

When she saw that Rollin was about to raise his knife to attack someone, she immediately shouted, “Rollin, what are you doing?”

This shout immediately stunned the two of them.

When the masked man heard the name ‘Rollin’, his entire body could not help but tremble. Then, he threw down the prey in his hands and directly escaped from the other end.

Seeing that the target had escaped, Rollin was just about to chase when he was pulled back by Monica.

“What on earth are you doing?!”

After a period of entanglement, Rollin sighed and said, “It was not easy to find the target, but you scared him away!”

Rollin pointed at a body bag in the dark passage and said to Monica, “The murderer almost committed a murder just now. I just happened to be waiting for him to come out!”

Monica immediately walked in and rescued the unconscious woman from the body bag.

At this time, she realized that she had made a major mistake!

She immediately came to the side of Rollin and lowered her head to apologize, “I’m really sorry!”

Seeing the innocent Monica, Rollin could not blame her.

“This street is temporarily safe!”

“The last time you met him on another street, he changed his location the next day!”

“I don’t know where he will go next time!”

“So during this period of time, please carry out your mission well!”

After saying that, Rollin walked away angrily.

On the way, he could not help but think of the other party’s reaction when he heard his name.

‘Why are you stunned when you hear my name! Is it someone I’m familiar with?’

‘And that body bag, it’s also something I used before!’

Because Rollin liked to put some marks on his things, he could tell at a glance that this was something he used before.

With this heart, Rollin went straight to the slums.

It was very convenient to enter without any authentication, but when you came out, if you didn’t bring an identity charm, you would be left in this area forever.

Arriving at the Butcher’s familiar little house, Rollin knocked on the door.

A white-haired old man asked in a grumpy tone, “Who’s the blind one? Why are you here so late? Did you die of idleness too late?”

Upon hearing this, Rollin immediately replied, “It’s the cleaner from before. I have something to ask you.”

The grumpy old man thought that the cleaner from before was the Butcher’s subordinate, so he immediately stood up and opened the door.

After glancing at Rollin, the grumpy old man became much more amiable, because he had seen Rollin at the funeral.

“I’m really sorry, it’s Rollin, right?”

“Didn’t you already move to the commoner district? Why did you come to this place?”

Rollin told him about the body bag and then told him about the recent missing cases in the city.

The grumpy old man’s face immediately turned ugly, and he immediately told Rollin about Owen.

“Oh! Owen, right? His luck is really good. The first time, he actually didn’t get beaten to death by me.”

Looking at the aura that was released from Rollin’s body, the irascible old man’s entire body started to feel uncomfortable. He raised his hand and wanted to say something.

After Rollin left, he wiped his sweat. “Phew. Luckily I didn’t provoke him. Otherwise, my old life would have ended here!”

Even if a commoner killed someone in the slums, there wouldn’t be any legal issues. The life of someone from the slums was so worthless.

After leaving the small house, Rollin lost his target. Because Owen had already left the slums, searching for him was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

He could only sigh and walk back to his house.

At this time, through his house, Owen saw Rollin walk out of the slums. This made him no longer think about casually appearing on this street.

Therefore, he packed his clothes overnight and prepared to leave this area, preparing to go to another civilian street.

Owen was very clear about the gap between himself and Rollin, and he also knew that at this stage, he was no match for Rollin.

However, Owen did not give up. Instead, he worked even harder. He believed that he would one day be able to defeat Rollin.

When he returned home, the sky was already bright.

Rollin opened the door to take a look at May’s condition. He found that she was sleeping soundly. So, he did not continue to disturb her. He changed into a loose set of clothes and returned to the forging workshop.

In the morning, Rollin completed his work for the day.

In the afternoon, he began his sword skill training.

The initial stage of Joshua’s High-Level Swordsmanship, Rollin, spent a week to completely master it. Then, he entered the second stage of the integration of offense and defense!

This stage was dozens of times more complicated than the initial stage. The sword skills inside all required the use of magic!

While using the sword skill, one also needed to continuously condense magic.

In the trajectory of the continuous slashing, one had to continuously circulate all the magic on the sword body in the original direction. Only then could one fully use the attack and defense integrated move.

Throughout the entire afternoon, Rollin had not been able to learn the first move!

There were a total of 16 sets of attack and defense moves!

His usage was far too different from what he had imagined, causing Rollin to have no choice but to sit down and continue reading the book.

After some research, Rollin finally understood why he was like this.

16 sets of moves had to be used consecutively, or else the magic in his body would revolve once every time.

This was the reason why he failed.

Thus, Rollin read these sixteen sets of moves over and over again. He memorized all sixteen sets of moves in his brain before starting to practice them.

Sure enough, after memorizing all sixteen sets of moves in his brain, Rollin smoothly used all of them.

The Third Elder, who was observing from afar, could not help but frown. “Maybe it’s because I ate too much today, that’s why my eyes are blurry!”

“When did the attack and defense integration move become so easy to learn!?”
