Sebastian didn’t even have to guess to know that these were prepared just for him.
These dozens of pounds of explosives would be extremely terrifying in power once detonated. Even a pre-divine grandmaster standing on top would be reduced to powder and bones.

Several hours went by until a masked person appeared across the small lake.
