The domino effect caused by the stone's impact on the soldier's energy shield created chaos among the elite soldiers. They stumbled and fell like a row of toppled dominos, their formation shattered.
Amidst this disarray, Shi Tian seized the opportunity to strike ahead.
With the leader briefly distracted by the unexpected turn of events, Shi Tian took his shot. The pistol barked, and an Esper special bullet streaked through the chaos, finding its mark.
The leader's energy shield, still partially raised from the stone's impact, was not enough to protect him. The bullet struck home, and the leader cried out in pain as the energy shield crackled and failed.
The bullet directly pierced through his right eye, shattering the goggles and his eyes completely as it passed through to the other soldier behind.
However, compared to their leader's injury, the other soldier got lucky and the bullet only grazed through his shoulder.
