'Shit, shit, shit!'
Alex began panicking the moment they all prepared for battle. It wasn't even going to be a battle, really. They were just going to kill her.
Alex couldn't let them do that. Not to her. Not to his one ticket out of Hell.
He had to do something.
With everyone focused on Death, there wasn't much focus on Alex, so he could move with some minor restriction. He immediately brought out his sword and began swinging his attacks.
The sword he used was terrible for this fight. He couldn't use any of his skills through it, only his Sword Intent. The only reason he had been using this sword right now was because he had hoped Death couldn't break it due to its toughness.
However, that was only for Death. Against these people, toughness didn't matter as much as usability did. And for that, the sword was terrible.
Still, Alex did not have the time nor the opportunity to bring out another sword, so he was stuck with it.
