Alex didn't scream during the whole time he got rained by arrows. The pain was absurd that could easily pummel someone to the ground. Even so, Alex still managed to pass that path without letting a sound other than the talk with Eve.
However, Eve also knew how much pain he endured because his hand kept contracting and relaxing every time an arrow hit his hands.
She couldn't help but shake her head after recalling how easy people a few thousand years ago betrayed their friends because of stupid reasons. That created the unwillingness and spread the killing intent. It was the power that she fed during the past few thousand years, so she exactly understood if Alex screamed and doubted her.
There was no telling that she told the truth. There might be another safer path somewhere, and she simply didn't want to say it.
