The Goblin seized the perfect moment, pressing the red button on the remote control just as the bomb was less than ten feet from the ground. However, like most Goblin-made devices, something malfunctioned, and the bomb didn't detonate immediately. Instead, it smashed directly onto a Berserk Demon, grinding the nearly eight-foot-tall Demon into a disgusting mound of flesh.
"What's going on? This can't be!" Phil repeatedly pressed the red button and then knocked the controller against the ground, but nothing happened. Meanwhile, the group of Berserk Demons at the gate had excitedly gathered around to enjoy their comrade's creatively gruesome death.
Just then, perhaps due to the impact of hitting the ground, the bomb inexplicably started working again. The Goblin pressed the red button on the remote once more, and a sudden flash restored the sparkle to his face.
"Get down!!" He threw himself to the ground and reached out to pull the Halfling down with him.
