Swooish!
"Whew!" Amir saw Sefu's axe pass beside him, feeling the wind caused by the displacement of that weapon passing between his chest and left arm.
He had narrowly escaped!
Amir had combat experience, so as he escaped death, he was not long in a state of relief. Nevertheless, he gripped his weapon more firmly and followed Tenur's plans.
As he moved backward, he used the distraction of the two mercenaries and Sefu's agitation to try to break down the defenses of that human-shaped beast.
Amir placed himself behind one of the two mercenaries and subtly pushed him forward, unintentionally causing that man to move toward Sefu.
Gulp!
When he realized what was happening, that mercenary had no time to shout out the world's injustices. He saw Sefu already holding a small dagger in one hand and moved to try to defend himself.
Talking would not stop Sefu. Only actions could save his life!
