The the reason why the detonation of Arnas's corpse doppelganger was able to destroy the array formation covering the vicinity of the dual gate dungeon was that the corpse explosion was a controlled explosion whose intent was not to cause maximum devastation but to produce a particular noise as a byproduct of explosion. 

This noise produced by the explosion would alter the vibration of the soul pathways of nature such that it will be able to temporarily transfer energy from the explosion into the soul pathways of the array formation.

After the volatile soul energy from the explosion entered the soul pathways of the array formation in a large quantity the noise altering the vibration of nature's soul pathways stopped and the volatile soul energy was permanently trapped in the soul pathways of the array formation. 

Due to the trapped volatile soul energy trapped in them the soul pathways of the array began to explode and snap resulting in the destruction of the array formation. 

"Damn it," Arnas cussed, losing one of her corpse doppelgangers right at the start of her mission. 

If not for Field Marshal Heatsend being unfamiliar to her sound-type trick, her doppelganger would never have made it to the array formation covering the dual gate dungeon vicinity and destroy the array formation at cost of her SSS-rank Corse puppet. 

This was the best result she could obtain against someone as powerful as the Field Marshal Heatsend, Arnas thought this to console herself for the loss of one of her SSS-rank Corpse Puppets.

With SSS-rank Blackwood Coffin Arnas could create another SSS-rank course puppet in no time as long as she had a corpse of a demigod. Yet, Arnas was pissed at losing a corpse puppet because the strength of the corpse puppet depended on the quality of the demigod corpse. 

A demigod with excellent physical prowess would make an excellent SSS-rank corpse puppet compared to the corpse of an average demigod. 

However, there are not many demigods dominant in physical prowess in this card world unless they have a special physical enhancement bloodline, physique, or trait. And not to mention with such strong physique these demigods would definitely be influential and live long. Hunting them down to refine them into a corpse puppet would not be an option.

Even if there are, they mostly have a physical enhancement type origin card whose effect wears off after the death of the card apprentice. Such demigod corpses were not ideal to be used as ingredients to refine a corpse puppet. 

Hence it was going to be a pain in the ass and take a while for Arnas to find an excellent ingredient for her to refine a new corpse puppet. Which meant she lost half of her combat power until that. That was why Arnas was so pissed to lose a corpse puppet. 

…

Ada Davis, waiting for Arnas's Corpse Doppelganger to destroy the area formation covering the dual gate dungeon intently watched the confrontation between the Corpse Doppelganger and Field Marshal's attack, however it all happens so fast was that all she was Arnas's Corpse Puppet explode and then the array formation covering the dungeon gate vicinity crumble with it.

Once the detonation of Corpse Doppelganger destroyed the array formation, Ada immediately had her swarm of 8000 card lord's sacrifice themselves in a devil summoning sacrificial ritual without caring if they managed to surround the vicinity of the dungeon gate because she knew once Field Marshal launches her act her swarm would not even have an opportunity to start the devil summoning sacrificial ritual.

…

Field Marshal Heatsend, who was looking at the array formation slowly falling apart, had her attention distracted by the thousands of red beams of light that shot into the sky from the border of the dual gate dungeon vicinity. 

Seeing these multiple red beams of light the Field Marshal shook her head in display and muttered, "Devil summoning sacrifice ritual, looks like the central government is sticking to its old tricks." 

Field Marshal Heatsend patiently watched as the width of all the red beams of lights expanded until they all joined together to form a curtain of red light surrounding the vicinity of the dual gate dungeon. Knowing that once the demonic ritual starts killing the participants will only speed the ritual but not prevent it. 

Soon the curtain of red light formed surrounding the dual gate dungeon, then numerous rune circles began to illuminate on it with bright white highlights. All these rune circles were drawn using foreign symbols that did not belong to this world. 

Later straight lines extend out of these rune circles to join with rune circles adjacent to them, once all of the rune circles were connected to each other the curtain of red light surrounding the dual gate dungeon vicinity shone brighter than ever, masking the light of the sun and turning the sky within the area of the light curtain blood red. 

It was as if the world was all of a sudden shaded in blood. When this happened, the atmosphere in the surrounding area turned heavy and wind stopped passing through that area as this incident had managed to gather the attention of the world's will to this part of the world. 

Feeling the presence of the World's will, Field Marshal Heatsend who was standing in front of the gate of dungeon kneeled on one knee to greet the World's will.

Ignoring the pressure of the world, the bright rune circles that had joined together to form an array of rune circles radiated rhythmically like a heart beat as if they had come alive and were calling something.

In light of this, the wind that had stopped passing through the area suddenly became violent, the clouds in the sky turned dark and it began to rain heavily. Soon a thunderstorm descended just in this part of the southern capital's outskirts. As if signaling the descent of evil.

The Field Marshal who was kneeling on one knee looked up into the sky and uttered with a deep voice, "leave this to your daughter."
