Lord God Investigator

Chapter 273 Five Seconds

The super magic crystal grenade produced by the Gray Dwarf Military Factory in the Underdark uses a delay fuse, and the delay fuse burning time is 4-5 seconds.

After pulling down the pull ring, the spring pushes the firing pin to hit the flash cap, igniting the delay fuse, and the grenade explosion begins a countdown.

Jack and Liz pulled the tab together, and the metal barrel on the magic crystal bomb spewed out smoke from the burning fuse. The burning sound was like a death knell.

Time seemed to slow down. The paladin captain's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He turned around and knocked away the soldiers blocking the way behind him. He rushed towards the door with a horrified and twisted expression on his face.

The two soldiers blocking the road looked confused. They didn't understand why the captain ran for his life like crazy. He was knocked defenseless, lost his balance and fell on his back.

The soldier who fell to the ground grabbed his arms and grabbed his colleague next to him. The colleague tried to support him, but was also brought down to the ground because he was clumsy in his heavy armor.

Only captain-level paladins are trained by the Chief Mage, and the soldiers are taught by the captain.

The paladin captain knew how powerful the magic crystal bomb was, and also knew that the bomb would explode with a delay after pulling the tab, but his team members knew nothing about it.

Between life and death, the captain didn't care so much anymore. He ran and stepped like crazy. Although the armor on his body was heavy, he ran very fast. He rushed to the door in two or three steps. At this time, he silently calculated in his heart. , about three seconds passed.

There is still a chance of survival!

The hope of life supported him and enabled him to exert his greater potential. He kicked his legs suddenly and ran out of the door. He ran very far and almost reached the other side of the street.

The paladin captain couldn't help but feel happy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up into a bright smile.

"Kata!"

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

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

Time stops.

Before his actions and thoughts were imprisoned, the paladin captain realized that he had stepped on the time-stop trap.

The Time Stop Trap is one of three special traps that can only be set by legendary thieves.

These three traps are the sting trap with the strongest single-target damage, the explosion trap with fire damage and magic damage, and the time-stop trap that can freeze time.

Time stopped, and a man wearing a hooded windbreaker suddenly appeared from the shadows. This man had a resolutely handsome face, and a neatly trimmed beard. He walked into the room and came to Jack.

At this time, Jack and Liz were looking at each other. Their expressions were indifferent. Neither of them had the bomb in Jack's hand. They left the last precious time in their lives to each other.

The center of the translucent magic crystal bomb emits a faint red light. The delay fuse has detonated the detonator. The small powerful explosion from the detonator will destroy the stability of the magic crystal and trigger a big explosion.

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

He thrust the bomb into the paladin captain's open mouth.

Turning around, the man returned to the house.

The magic-like effect of the time-stop trap can only last for ten seconds. It took four seconds for the man to walk into the room and take away the bomb, and five seconds for him to walk out of the house and stuff the bomb into the mouth of the paladin captain.

There's one second left before the time-stop effect ends, and there are five paladin soldiers in the room.

One second is enough.

The scarlet dagger turned into an arc of light, and the blade traced across the three fallen soldiers, slitting their throats. The blade turned, thrust out, and penetrated the lower jaw of a standing paladin. The brain pierced the skull and lifted up the tasseled helmet of the paladin.

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. He was horrified. Before he could react, there was a loud noise outside the house, and air waves rushed along the windows and open doors. The door burst into the room, pushing the paladin forward.

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

With a push, the paladin who had been rushing forward fell on his back, vomiting blood.

Jack and Liz were also stunned. They thought they were going to die instantly in the explosion, but they found that the bomb in their hands was missing. The paladins surrounding them were all lying on the ground, and a man in a hooded trench coat stood in front of them.

The man turned around, lifted his hood, and tried to give Jack an unnatural smile.

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

Jack didn't recognize him and didn't know what had just happened. He asked blankly: "Who are you?"

"Arkanis-Gath."

The hooded man stretched out his hand, took Jack's hand and shook it. The hand was originally holding the grenade but had not yet put it down.

"I am the captain of the underground party's enemy-behind-enemy operations team. I have been ordered by Mr. Bredreau to pick you up and leave."

"Mr. Bredlow sent you to save me? He knew about me?"

Akanis nodded seriously and said: "Yes, Mr. Bredlow knows you. He asked me to find you no matter what and bring you back to the Underdark Region base."

Arkanis took out a bottle of powerful healing potion from the dimensional bag and handed the potion to Liz.

Liz immediately understood what he meant. Jack was too weak to drink the potion by himself and needed her help to feed him.

The girl couldn't help but take another look at this handsome man. She didn't expect that this man was so thoughtful and thoughtful.

He fed Jack a healing potion, but it would take some time for the potion to take effect. Arkanis picked up his arm and helped him leave in a hurry.

There had just been an explosion here, and the sound spread far away, and would soon attract other paladin teams.

When Akanis found Jack, the paladin team had already rushed into the room. Even if the King of Assassins rushed into the room and fought the six paladin in close combat, it would be difficult to kill them all in a short time.

What's more, there are two civilians in the room who are almost powerless, so accidental injuries are inevitable during the battle.

The King of Assassins hid in the shadows and quietly followed the paladin team, waiting for an opportunity. When he saw Jack taking out the bomb, he immediately set up a time-stop trap at the door of the house.

There was a five-second delay when the bomb exploded. The King of Assassins expected that someone would escape. If these paladins were stupid and didn't know how to avoid the bomb, he would do it himself and throw the person closest to the door into the delay trap when it was triggered. Stop effect.

As he expected, the paladin captain fled and triggered the trap as soon as he left the room.

Only when time stops, even if it is less than a second before the explosion, does Arkanis have enough time to save people and kill people.

Top assassins don't rely entirely on extraordinary martial arts to kill people.
