They started firing a lot of arrows with Crimson Blood. The strong smell of the blood covered up all the surrounding smells, even the Blessed who had a keen sense of smell were not able to smell what was buried underneath. It was like gunpowder with no obvious smell.

"Warriors of the Astra Militarum, where is your courage?" Seeing that the time was right, Kai directly raised his long sword high in the air and shouted angrily.

"Fight-! Fight-! Fight-!" This was the response of the Astra Militarum.

The sound vibrated high in the sky like a thunderclap and it resounded throughout the battlefield. This shout from Kai was not to inspire the fighting spirit of the Astra Militarum, instead, it was to cover up the sound of the fuses underneath, The sound was not loud though but just in case he was still doing all the sufficient work.

"Little ants, ridiculous!" Looking at the shouts of the Astra Militarum, a Blessed member couldn't help but let out a taunt.

It was like seeing a bunch of ants doing pre-war mobilization and preparing to challenge them as a predator.

"Speed up!" The aged Blessed member also shouted.

The various actions of the Astra Militarum made this Leader of the Blessed feel offended as well. If continued to drag on, it was humiliating.

The Dryads were still young, so they were very obedient. They tried their best to speed up and even started taking a big step forward.

At the same time, near the buried place of the gunpowder, the lancer Guardsmen collectively gripped their lances tightly. They did not know the inside story, so they were prepared to fight to the death against the two beasts approaching.

Even at the cost of their lives, the heavy cavalry behind had also caught up. Frantically, they lunged toward the Dryad. Some Guardsmen also jumped directly onto the branches and leaves. They were even prepared to use their mouths to bite off the flesh of the opponent.

Seeing this magnificent scene of the Astra Militarum, many viewers couldn't help being influenced.

"I've decided, even if Sebastian loses this one, I'll be a fan of Sebastian from now on-!"

"What a ruthless determination. Even when facing such a strong opponent, they won't give up."

"It's no wonder that Sebastian has come this far, he has a hand in stimulating ordinary unit."

One by one, they were discussing with emotion. As compared to the general audience, the faces of a group of teachers were calm. Among them, the least of them had also participated in more than ten big competitions, so they had seen all kinds of scenes, so it was impossible to be moved by this kind of determination.

"An unwise move." Instead, some teachers were shaking their heads.

It was just a match, it was not like there was a real war. What are you working so hard for? When people see that the situation is not favorable, they immediately choose to admit defeat.

"It's over." An older teacher said faintly.

***

"Yes, it's over." In the battle room, the corners of Sebastian's mouth curled up slightly.

Such a large amount of gunpowder will explode, in his previous life, he had only seen it on the screen but now, he could see it with his own eyes.

As the Dryad people stepped on the gunpowder ambush site, the two fuses burned, and finally, it came to an end. The calculations from Kai himself were very accurate, not a hair out of place.

The tiny sound of burning could be heard, but in the surrounding area, the shattering roars of anger could also be heard, so it was completely negligible. And at this moment, no Blessed raise their vigilance.

***

Inside the viewing room, experienced and insightful leading teachers all just thought that the big hole just now was Sebastian's last trick. They couldn't possibly imagine that the big hole was just a disguise for the real plan.

The fuse burned to the end, in the next moment, there was a loud explosion. It was so loud that it could no longer be described in words. As the whole ground exploded, countless clay, stones, and vegetation on the ground flew up, and even the air was fluttering violently.

That power was only through the projection but it made people quiver, not to mention the crowd on the battlefield.

At the command of Kai, the rest of the Astra Militarum had long since crouched down and they were hiding behind the shield formation. These giant shields were made with the last bit of vibranium, under the power of two massive explosions, it was instantly charred. Immediately afterward, they were broken. The lancers close behind were directly blown away.

The horrific explosion was accompanied by a sky full of dust and ashes, while on the ground, a huge hole was blown open. Everyone, including Kai himself, witnessed this apocalyptic scene in disbelief. In the previous experiments, the gunpowder used was not of such a large amount.

"Is this the true power of gunpowder? I seem to have activated a sinister weapon, but..." Kai murmured to himself, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and said, "For the glory of the Father, everything is worth it."

"How dangerous-!"

"It's alarming, this is... that legendary weapon?"

The people of the Supernatural Research team were amazed. Not many people had witnessed the gunpowder experiment and most of them only heard about it. A team led by Kai himself developed a destructive weapon, at that time, many people just laughed in disdain when they heard about it. They thought it was an exaggeration!

But seeing it in person today they knew that such weapons existed in this world. And in front of the explosion of thousands of pounds of gunpowder, even if it was the Dryad, it was still tilted over and they were plunged directly into the big hole below.

The entire Dryad was blown up and scorched black. Who knows how many branches were broken? The dense foliage on top was almost half-ruined. They were not dead yet but were still seriously injured.

The 500 Blessed individuals standing on the Dryad people were not much better. The branches and leaves helped them resist a part of the impact, but the remaining impact was also enough to lift these Blessed individuals right off the ground. Some were blasted into the sky and landed heavily on the ground and the other part was planted together in the big pit.

At this time, their skin had long become charred and their clothes were in tatters. There were a few Blessed people who were close by and their bodies had been torn apart. The mutilated corpses were hanging from the branch like dried meat in the wind, it made one's heart skip a beat!

"The warriors of the Imperium, attack-!" Kai did not bask in the excitement of the success of his plan, he swung his sword and ordered.

He knew that this was the weakest moment for the Blessed people and the Dryad. If he did not attack now, then when?

***

Inside the viewing room, the voice of discussions disappeared completely. There was silence. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin falling to the ground.

Everyone, including teachers and directors and the strongest people of each power, even the Mayor, got up from their seats. They were staring at the image in the projection without blinking. What emerged on their face was a strong look of shock.

When Sebastian fought against Lucy before, the final result was an ongoing process, he made them feel that he was prepared. This time, it was an instantaneous explosion.

Thousands of pounds of gunpowder were ignited in an instant. Not only the Dryad and the Blessed individuals were toppled, but the people watching the battle were shocked.

As leading power, each of them was not weak, so they had seen more and more powerful things. However, this competition was just a month after awakening, so much power was unimaginable. If you talk about the Dryad and the Spiritual Amulet, it is still acceptable.

As for the explosive power of gunpowder, not a single person was prepared. This was something that should not appear in this kind of arena.

After a long silence, finally, someone broke out.

"What is this... thing?"

"Am I seeing things? What was that explosion just now?"

"Can someone tell me what the h*ll is going on here?"

Everyone revealed a strong look of confusion, as no one could have imagined the extraordinary power of gunpowder. No one could have seen it either, as this world had no such thing as gunpowder.

Even the teachers who had seen a lot of things were also staring closely at the projection, they were trying to get a good look. The explosion just now, what just happened.

Above the battlefield, as the smoke and dust descended from the sky, the scene in the field became clear again. Within the large pit, the Dryad was already on the ground. For a short time, it was difficult to recover from this.

On the Dryad people, there were a lot of damaged clothes, broken arrows, and shattered torsos. More than forty Blessed individuals were torn to pieces on the spot in this terrible explosion.

As for the remaining 400 or so Blessed individuals, most of them were still affected by the explosion, they were more or less wounded.
