Chapter 441 - Patrick (2) (1/2)

The shadow that leaped over Auron was, of course, Alice. With her quick speed, she had come to each of the enemies and stabbed them once.

Patrick and three others managed to dodge the incoming stab by rolling their body. However, it was not the case for the two others.

Alice's intention was not to kill them instead to maim them. So, Alice's stab was aimed at their non-vital part like legs, shoulders, hands, other parts. She wanted to capture as many people as she could, so she had more information. Sadly, for these two people, seeing Alice tried to attack them, they reacted.

Unfortunately, one of them's reaction brought them to demise. He was targetted at his right hand. However, the target turned his body over, and the place where the right hand was supposed to be was replaced with his heart. A stab to the heart brought him an immediate death.

One death, one injured, and 4 others got a burned scar. Although it was difficult, the four others quickly restored their posture and prepared to flee.

However, how could Alice let them went away? Several stabs and a [Fire Bolt] were launched to bring them down. Not only that, but Auron also didn't stand idle. He helped Alice to keep the enemies from running away.

The battle was short. In just five minutes, everything was settled. Alice had to kill two other people to keep them running away.

Auron was binding the other 3 people with a rope. Those three people had blood all over their bodies because Alice tried to maim them. After they failed to run away, they gave up with their head down facing the floor.

Among those three that still alive, Patrick was among them. Alice had a unique dagger in her hand. It was her custom weapon that she ordered. The dagger's blade was long, and it was almost could be considered as a short sword.

Alice pressed her dagger to Patrick's chin and lifted his head to face her. ”Who are you?”

With a hand tied behind his back, Patrick, who faced Alice, kept his silence. He didn't want to answer the question.

Getting a silent as an answer, Alice smacked Patrick's cheek with the back of her dagger. Patrick fell down to the ground. Alice ignored Patrick and moved to the other person.

Alice did the same as what she did with Patrick to this person. The person wavered a bit, but, in the end, he kept his silence just like Patrick. Alice punched this man's face then moved to the last person.

Before Alice could do anything, the man immediately said, ”I will talk! I will talk! But you have to let me go!”

Alice halted her steps. She smiled warmly, then she scoured the man's face with the back of her dagger's blade gently, ”Relax... I promise you. If what you are about to say is true and important, I will let you go!”

The man was petrified with Alice, ”Okay... you have promised. I will tell you everything that I know...”

”You...!” Both the other man and Patrick looked at this scared man furiously. Sadly, they could do nothing as Auron stuffed their mouth with clothes and tied it tightly.
