The moment Charles saw the grenade on the ground, he suddenly felt as if time were moving extremely slowly.
He watched the black hunk of metal expand slowly with the gunpowder explosion, saw his own clothes curl and blacken, but in that moment, all he could do was close his eyes.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The blast was relentless, and the force of the explosion sent Charles flying.
"Thud!" Charles slammed into a tree and then fell to the damp earth with a wisp of black smoke trailing behind him.
Gunfire erupted, it was Audric, having turned into a bat to slip out of his handcuffs, he drew his pistol and kept pulling the trigger in the direction of 399.
"Clang Clang Clang." A row of neat, transparent square shields appeared in front of 399, blocking the incoming bullets.
The lantern-sized eyes glanced at Audric, and seven or eight anchor hooks descended from the sky, smashing down at him.
