Chapter 1485 - Dirty Bomb (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Thanks to the “assistance” extended by Kronos, the Titans’ noisy entrance created a distraction. Half of the demon hunters had left the light-path platform, and another master, who was a commander, managed to move with his team to the frontlines, significantly reducing the strength of the remaining guards on the platform.
However, Hao Ren did not rush out recklessly. He silently perceived the shockwaves, which were coming from afar and calculated the situation of the battle between the demon hunters and the Titans.
The demon hunters were undeniably powerful. As a synthesized race, they were born with a natural talent that gave them an advantage over many conventional races. But that did not mean that they were invincible. While demon hunters had different combat strength levels, among the otherworldlings that they had annihilated were many powerful fighters.
When ordinary demon hunters fought with the war machines of Olympus, casualties were guaranteed.
Sure enough, not long after, Hao Ren noticed that the two master demon hunters on the light-path platform looked nervous as they exchanged words with each other.
It seemed that the demon hunters had received news from the frontline. Their troops encountered the ancient Titans, and the fight had reached a stalemate.
Just as Hao Ren had expected, the remaining demon hunters acted again. They despatched another team of elite soldiers under the charge of a master-class commander.
The thinking of the demon hunters was that the Titans crawling out of the Underworld were the biggest threat to them in the Palace of Hades. As the demon hunters had cleared the rest of Mount Olympus as safe, and all the resistance forces of Olympus were confined to the Temple of Poseidon, there would be no enemy reinforcement. Naturally, guarding the light path was not the priority and if necessary, they would redirect their forces from here to deal with Kronos.
There was nothing wrong with this strategy had Hao Ren and this team of space-time travelers not intervened.
As the second batch of the demon hunters left the platform, Hao Ren knew that this was his best chance. The remaining guards would not go away. If he waited some more, he would miss this window of opportunity. Now or never; Hao Ren opened his dimensional pocket at once and took out a Dimensional Collapse Bomb. He waved and said, “Let’s move!”
The eyes of the demon hunters stationed on the platform were on the energy storm rising from the Palace of Hades. When their commander finally knew what happened, a half-meter-tall silvery-white metal cylinder had flown up and landed among the soldiers.
A veteran soldier called out, “Hostile!”
Just then the silvery-white metal cylinder exploded. The explosion was different from that of a conventional bomb. It was the sound of shattering glass without flare. The surrounding air distorted and formed a sphere. Beyond the event horizon of the sphere, space and time would collapse inward.
The event horizon of the sphere continued to expand and sucked in everything in the surroundings, including a few demon hunters close to the blast center. Because of the different gravitational pulls on different parts of their body, their bodies stretched as gravity pulled them toward the gravitational collapse point. The demon hunters, who were a little further away, managed to react. Their powerful reflex and fighting talent enabled them to respond even without knowing what was going on. The demon hunters quickly lunged away from the gravitational collapse zone with all their might.
The master-class demon hunter was even more doughty. Half of his body was already inside the event horizon, but he managed to remain focus and pull off a near-field teleporting feat. The gravitation force pulled his lower body inward as his upper body escaped, breaking himself into half.
Knowing that he was going to die, the commander dropped his weapon and reached for the alarm trigger on his waist at the fastest speed he had ever done in his life.
But before his hand could reach the trigger, a silver light fell from the sky.
It was Hasse coming down with his silver sword.
The severed head of the commander spun in the air with a shocked expression on the face. He could not believe his eyes until the moment he died; it was the highest commander of the sacred army of the demon hunters who killed him.
“I am sorry, mate. I cannot let you ruin this in this space and time,” Hasse said as he glanced at the master demon hunter. His eyes swept across the emblem on the master’s chest. “I have remembered you. I will buy you a drink when this is all done.”
Lily thrust her alloy sword on the ground near Hasse, smashing a poor demon hunter and breaking his bones. She was pretty skillful in using the sword now. Wielding the sword in her hand, Lily further killed several enemies before shouting at Hasse, “Why did you slacken your pace? You even had time to make a date!”
Hasse was stupefied.
Hasse now knew Lily’s characters well enough that he had given up interacting with her.
Light flashed, and blood splashed on the platform.
