The merchant couldn't fathom what was going on, his guards who were supposed to protect him were getting killed one after the other and his legs were sinking as he struggled to escape but he had the worst luck of all.
Alex wasn't going for any of the guards instead he had his eyes on the merchant, Alex stopped few distances away from the merchant so he wouldn't get dragged into Gabriel's spell.
Gabriel's job was to slow the guards down so he didn't harden the mud, while Bridget and Lynx took the guards down one after the other. Now that he had two flintlock pistols, he could take down each guard with a single bullet as long as he gets a headshot.
Alex held both of his daggers but he didn't join the fight, Max also didn't bother joining cause he didn't want to get shot by Lynx.
>BAM!!BAM!!<
"Argghhhhh...my leg...arrghhh, please don't kill me, please don't kill me" the merchant screamed as tears begin flowing down his eyes.
"Good it seems you now recognize the situation you are in, tell me about the shadow potion," Alex said as he held the merchant's head.
"Please, they don't tell me anything, I was just told to distribute it, I don't know anything" the merchant shouted.
"I thought you didn't know anything about potions, who are they?" Alex asked.
"Please spare me"
"Second leg" Alex spoke.
"Haaa...No please, I'll talk, I'll... I'm going to die either way, if I tell you guys, they'll kill me" the merchant cried.
"What is he talking about, who are they?" Gabriel spoke.
"Tell us about them, and we'll protect you, I promise," Alex said.
"Protect me, you are no match, all of you guys are no match, kill me I'm not going to say anything else" the merchant shouted.
"It seems the shadow potion is more troublesome than we can handle, if we keep asking about it, I'm sure we'll get in trouble," Max said.
"You are right but before that, Lynx shoot his other foot" Alex spoke.
