However, when the soldier fell, the Arbiter elder was already aware something was wrong and swiftly dodged.
The bullet grazed past his temple, striking the corridor ceiling, bouncing twice, and hitting who knows where.
The Arbiter elder instinctively felt something was amiss: although soldiers inside the fortress carried firearms, they were required to engage their safeties.
Now the soldier just happened to fall, conveniently forgot to engage the safety, and the bullet came directly at him. How could there be such coincidences?
Not good!
There's a problem!
The curse went awry!
Just as the Arbiter elder was about to rush to the command room to report the situation, he saw not far away a sealed pipe deformed by a bullet strike, with a screw slowly being forced out by intense air pressure!
With a bang, the sharp screw ricocheted off the corridor wall and directly pinned into the Arbiter elder's temple...
How unlucky!
