Seiya - Bomb Boulder

Seiya snaps his fingers as usual, causing a giant boulder one meter across toinstantly fall from above the massive cavern where the Killing Machines crowd.

“Wh-what the...?!”

Googly eyes! A slit mouth! The boulder has a face!

“I learned how to create other rock-type monsters besides golems. Through combining Valkyrja techniques, fire magic, and earth magic, I was able to create a ‘bomb boulder.’ I trapped the Killing Machines to test this monster’s power in addition to my research.”

“...REEEEE!”

The Killing Machines simultaneously rush in and attack the rock monster after its sudden appearance. However...

BOOOOOOM!!

The deafening roar is followed by a blinding light. The impact knocks me onto my rear in spite of the thick wall separating the two caverns. When I turn my gaze back toward the enclosure, the Killing Machines are in pieces.

“D-did that rock just blow itself up?!”

“Yes. Bomb boulders explode after being attacked enough, and its power...was just as incredible as I predicted it’d be. It instantly turned a few dozen of them into dust.”

A few more bomb boulders then come falling down one after another. The Killing  Machines  uniformly  attack  them,  but  after  taking  damage,  the  bomb boulders  instantly  explode.  It  doesn’t  look  like  Killing  Machines  are  highly intelligent. They don’t seem to realize that bomb boulders explode after being attacked,  which  explains  why  they  continue  assailing  them  even  after  seeing their comrades being blown to bits.
