Seiya - Flies Reference

Squinting, Elulu points not at the sky but at the surface. On a faraway plain stands a group of archers, preparing to shoot the airborne enemies. Beel Bub seems to notice as well, but the monster doesn’t run away. In fact, the swarmof flies decreases its altitude.

“Come  on,  give  me  your  best  shot!  I  even  lowered  myself  so  your  arrows could reach.”

Arrows pour into the sky like inverted rain, all closing in on the smug leader. It’s  a  brilliant,  unified  attack.  However...the  enemy’s  formation  remains stalwart. Even watching from afar, it is clear the archers’ attack doesn’t reduce the enemy forces in the least.

Seiya mutters:

“It’s not just Beel Bub. The other massive flies seem to have high evasion as well. It doesn’t look like a single arrow connected."

“Calm down, Mash. You can’t underestimate flies. They can move faster than we  can  blink.  Plus,  they’re  monsters  in  this  world,  which  means  they  can probably move faster than we can even imagine. I sent out three Automatic Phoenixes to confirm, and they were almost instantly destroyed.”
