Seiya - Big Boom

“Slowly but surely, I’m remembering the Valkyrja techniques of destruction. The Seventh Valkyrja: Break Permission—through granting destructive energy to only material objects, I was able to give the soil an explosive charge.”

Seiya taps his foot on the ground three times. Before long, a serpent pops out with a sheath wrapped in cloth.

“This sword was specially crafted. When drawn, the friction will create sparks that ignite the explosive soil inside the sheath, thus creating more power along with the flames. The tremendous energy created will then be used to hit the target.”

By the time Seiya finishes his explanation, Grandleon is quietly staring down at  us  from  the  sky.  The  explosive  lightning  flickering  around  him  is  quietly absorbed into his body. He is then swallowed in a blinding ray of light instead.

“Valkyrja Explosion: Crimson Boom...!”

The instantaneous sound of the sword being unsheathed is drowned out by the explosive roar in front of us. The thunderous blow dealt by the Hero with over one million attack power collides into Grandleon, the shooting star.

A  tremendous  shock  wave  and  radiant  light  are  created  when  the  twoextraordinary forces clash, blowing me away.

“N-ngh...”

...I  slowly  sit  up  to  find  Grandleon  standing  with  his  back  turned  to  Seiya. Seiya  quietly  stands  with  his  sword  drawn  as  well.  Neither  faces  the  other. They’re both completely still. But almost instantly, I hear a crack. The platinum sword  in  Seiya’s  hand  shatters  into  ash,  and  Seiya  falls  face  forward  to  the ground. Grandleon, on the other hand, reveals only a faint cut on his chest as he turns around.

Th-the attack barely did any damage! It took the full force of Crimson Boom just to cancel out Volt: Sky Strike!

But as the Beast Emperor approaches Seiya to deal the final blow, his chest begins to swell as a glittering red liquid bursts out of the faint cut. Suddenly, Grandleon’s torso catches fire. He screams as the flames try to escape from his body. I shiver as the king of the beasts lets out one final cry of agony while the numerous small explosions tear his flesh asunder.

The explosive soil was thrown into his body...!Though they initially rage out of control, the flames eventually die down to reveal a charred Beast Emperor.
