"I have to make them fear me at least and also keep them talking?" He replied Astrid.
"But claiming to be the devil is a bit much."

"I have seen many people that claim to be the devil, in the end, they're just scared little puppies." The man cut off Alex from whatever he was about to say.
"They claim to be, but I don't claim. I truly the devil." Alex used the iron arrow as a javelin and threw it in the direction of the man talking. It was twice the speed of the one being shot at them so it was impossible to dodge.
"Why did you do that?" Astrid unable to figure out why Alex threw the arrow asked in confusion.
