Crack!
However, to Nalant's disappointment, the moment the bolt flew before the Hellhound, the creature casually swiped with a paw and smashed the powerful bolt to pieces.
Clearly, Nalant's trick to provoke the Hellhound was completely useless.
"Fuck!" Nalant cursed again in exasperation. In just these few minutes, he had already used as many national curses as he normally would in half a year.
"I refuse to believe it!"
If one move did not work, he would simply try another. Nalant was not one to admit defeat.
He directly pulled a cylindrical iron tube from his space ring.
It was a specially made fireworks signal flare. Nalant had originally intended to keep it for emergencies in the future, but it happened to be useful now.

The next moment, the ballista fired again, sending the grenade-bound bolt shooting forth.
Seeing this, the Hellhound once again raised a front paw and casually swung it, preparing to block the attack.
Boom!
However, just as the bolt was about to be struck aside, the firework's fuse above it burned through as well.
