Everything happened so abruptly. Some were still staring at the brilliant beam overhead, some were still fighting the demons that crawled from the seabed, and others were trembling in the shadows...
The chaos of sound completely destroyed the peace of the Silent Sea. Bola wasn't sure how many heard the gunshot like a tolling bell, but he knew he heard it clearly, so loud, and under its toll, all worldly sounds seemed to fade away, leaving only this lonely echo.
Lancelot's face was full of disbelief, blood spread from his chest, quickly soaking his entire shirt. The bullet, carrying massive kinetic energy, pushed him backward.
The blood cooled, and the heart gradually slowed down. Lancelot had already raised his firearm, but he no longer had the strength to pull the trigger and fell rigidly.
The expanding pupils reflected the brilliant beams, and soon, thunder boomed and torrential rain poured down.
"Lancelot!"
