Ang loaded the latest gunpowder mixture into a ceramic container and carefully packed it down. He chose a remote little hill as the testing ground and lit the fuse on the container. As time passed, Ang stared fixedly at the hill. The instant the explosion went off, the enormous shockwave and blaze flattened the entire hill in an instant. The experiment's success far exceeded Ang's expectations. Even he was shocked by the sheer power of the gunpowder.
After the successful test, Ang immediately reported this major achievement to Baroness Ilsa. Ilsa was both surprised and gratified by Ang's accomplishment. She had only intended to support his attempt, never expecting him to create such powerful gunpowder. Though she found it somewhat incongruous for a warrior to succeed at work on the level of an alchemist, she did not reject Ang because of it.

Ilsa's support was not merely born of her appreciation for Ang. She also understood the technology's potential value. She showed great interest in Ang's gunpowder and decided to further support his research, even considering how this technology could be applied in broader combat.

In the days ahead, Ang planned to conduct more experiments and try using this newly developed gunpowder in actual combat. Meanwhile, Ilsa began considering how to incorporate these new technologies into Latvia's defensive strategy to better withstand the threat of demons.
After numerous tests, Ang finally confirmed that the original black powder
