Seiya - Dragonnewt Durability

“During the very beginning of a journey, safety should always be prioritized over gathering information. That’s why I dropped one meteor in the center of the  city  and  four  in  the  suburbs.  I  used  Meteor  Strike  with  the  intent  of eradicating every last enemy, and yet, that one survived.”

“What...?!”

When I look hard at the dragonewt, I notice that while he may be on fire, his gait is steady and firm. It’s as if he doesn’t even care that crimson flames are lapping at his skin as he marches straight for us. Seiya grinds his teeth.

“I can’t believe it.”

Y-yeah! What’s going on?! I can’t believe there’s a dragonewt that can survive that many Meteor Strikes!

But Seiya doesn’t seem to be thinking the same thing as me.

“I  used  far  too  few  Meteor  Strikes.  I  should  have  gone  with  at  least  a hundred...”

“...?! Forget the town! You would have destroyed the entire planet with that many! Don’t even think about it!”

But as we chat, the dragonewt approaches until he’s only a few meters away from us. Seiya flicks his wrist a few times in a “back up” gesture, so Cerceus and I stand far behind him to make sure we don’t get in the way. The dragonewt opens his mouth to speak, exposing his small fangs.
