Chapter 280: Five Seconds

The Super Magic Crystal Grenade produced by the Grey Dwarf Military Factory in the Dark Regions uses a time-delay fuse, and the time-delay fuse burns for 4-5 seconds.

After pulling the pull ring, the spring pushes the firing pin to hit the fire cap, igniting the delay lead and the grenade's explosion enters the countdown.

Jack and Liz pulled down the ring together, and the metal canister on the crystal bomb spewed out the smoke of the fuse's burning, and the sound of burning was like a death knell.

Time seemed to slow down, and the paladin captain's eyes widened, his mouth wide open, and he turned around and crashed into the soldiers standing behind him, and rushed to the door with an expression of horror on his face.

The two soldiers in the way were dazed, not understanding why the captain ran for his life like he was going crazy, was knocked defenseless, lost his balance and fell on his back.

The soldier who fell to the ground grabbed his arm and grabbed his colleague next to him, who tried to hold him up, but was also carried to the ground because he was clumsy in heavy armor.

Only captain-level paladins are trained as chief mages, and soldiers are taught by captains.

The Paladin Captain knew how powerful the Crystal Bomb was, and he knew that it would explode with a delay when the pull tab was pulled, but his squad members didn't know anything about it.

Between life and death, the captain didn't care so much, he ran as hard as he could, although the armor on his body was heavy, he ran very fast, and rushed to the door in two or three steps, at this time he silently calculated in his heart, and about three seconds had passed.

There is still a chance to survive!

The hope of life sustained him and made him reach his greater potential, and with a sudden kick of his legs, he jumped out of the door and ran far away, almost across the street.

The captain of the holy warrior couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick up the ground, and he was about to pull out a bright smile.

"Ka A!"

He stepped on something, and the sound of mechanical parts activating sounded.

Before he could react, everything turned black and white, the ashes flying in the air froze in the air, and the crackling sound of the flames was gone.

Time stops.

Before his actions and thoughts were imprisoned, the Paladin Captain reacted and stepped on the time-stop trap.

Time-stop traps, one of the three special traps that can only be laid by legendary thieves.

These three traps are the Spike Trap, which has the strongest single damage, the Explosion Trap, which has fire damage and magic damage, and the Time Stop Trap, which can freeze time.

Time stopped, and a man in a hooded trench coat suddenly emerged from the shadows, a man with a handsome, knife-like countenance, and a neatly trimmed beard, and he entered the room and came to Jack.

At this time, Jack and Liz were looking at each other, their expressions were indifferent, they didn't have the bomb in Jack's hand, and they left each other with the last precious time in their lives.

The center of the translucent magic crystal bomb glowed red, and the delay lead had already detonated the detonator, and the small power explosion from the detonator would destroy the stability of the magic crystal and cause a large explosion.

The hooded man reached out and took the bomb that was already glowing red from Jack's hand, and walked out of the room with the bomb in front of the captain of the paladin, who was still running and grinning.

He shoved the bomb into the open mouth of the Paladin Captain.

Turning around, the man was back in the house.

The time-stopping trap's time-like effect only lasts for ten seconds, and it took four seconds for the man to walk into the room and take the bomb, and five seconds for the man to walk out of the house and stuff the bomb into the paladin captain's mouth.

There was only a second left, the time-stop effect was about to end, and there were five paladin soldiers in the room.

A second, but that's enough.

The scarlet dagger turned into an arc of light, and the trajectory of the blade slashed through the three fallen soldiers, slicing their throats, and the blade twisted and stabbed upward, stabbing through the jaw of a standing paladin, piercing the brain, piercing the skull, and lifting the paladin's tasseled helmet.

Kill four people in one second, and the time-stop effect ends.

The only remaining paladin came back to his senses and looked at the hooded man who suddenly appeared in front of him, startled, and before he could react, there was a loud bang outside the house, and a wave of anger rushed into the room through the window and the open door, pushing the paladin forward.

The hooded man raised his hand, as if to help him, and pushed him in the chest, and the hidden blade hidden under his arm popped out, piercing the steel armor chest guard and passing through the heart.

With a push, the holy warrior who had been rushing forward spat blood and fell on his back.

Jack and Liz were also stunned, thinking that they would die instantly in the explosion, but they found that the bomb in their hands was gone, and the paladins who surrounded them were all lying on the ground, and in front of them stood a man in a hooded trench coat.

The man turned, lifted his hood, and tried to squeeze an unnatural smile at Jack.

"Comrade Jack, I'm sorry I'm a little late."

Jack didn't know him, and didn't know what had just happened, so he asked blankly, "Who are you?" ”

"Arkanis-Garth."

The hooded man reached out and shook Jack's hand, which had been holding a grenade, before he could put it down.

"I am the leader of the underground party's action squad behind enemy lines, and I have been ordered by Mr. Bredro to pick you up."

"Mr. Braderow sent you to save me? Does he know me? ”

Arcanis nodded earnestly, "Yes, Mr. Bredrow knows about you, and he asked me to find you no matter what, and bring you back to the Dark Regions base." ”

Arcanis took out a vial of potent healing potions from the dimensional pouch and handed the potion to Lis.

Liz immediately understood what he meant, Jack was too weak to drink the potion on his own, and needed her help to feed it.

The girl couldn't help but glance at this handsome man, but she didn't expect this man to be so delicate and thoughtful.

Feeding Jack the healing potion, but it would take some time for the potion to take effect, Arcanis took his arm and helped him to hurry away.

An explosion had just occurred here, and the sound would spread far and wide, and it would soon attract other paladin squads.

……

By the time Arcanis found Jack, the paladin squad had already stormed the room, and even the King of Assassins would have been able to kill all six paladins in a short period of time.

What's more, there were two almost helpless civilians in the room, and it was inevitable that they would be injured by mistake during the battle.

The King of Assassins, hiding in the shadows, quietly followed the paladin squad and waited for an opportunity, and when he saw Jack pull out his bomb, he immediately set a trap in front of the house.

There was a five-second delay in the explosion of the bomb, and the King of Assassins expected someone to escape, so if the paladins were idiots who didn't know how to dodge the bomb, he took matters into his own hands and threw the person closest to the door onto the time-lapse trap to trigger the time-stop effect.

As he expected, the captain of the paladin ran for his life and triggered the trap as soon as he exited the room.

Only when time stopped, even if it was less than a second before the explosion, did Arcanis have enough time to save people and kill people.

A top-notch assassin, killing people doesn't rely entirely on supernatural martial arts.
