Seiya - Body Disposal Paid Off

Seiya  seems  unnerved,  but  I  can’t  blame  him.  An  army  of  thousands  of undead  are  going  to  be  resurrected  along  with  Grandleon,  Oxerio,  and Celemonic?! J-just saying “this is bad” really undersells how bad this really is!

“Seiya!! You have to defeat him before he summons the undead and—”

Before  I  even  finish  my  sentence,  though,  I  realize  it’s  already  too  late. Multiple black vortices have appeared around Sirrusht, even more than before.

“The  door  to  hell  has  opened.  Behold  my  greatest  ritual— Cemetery:  Night Again.”

“Rise...my puppets...”

But nothing emerges no matter how long we wait.

“Impossible... But why...?” Sirrusht whimpers.

“Oh, so that’s what happened.”

Seiya slaps his hands together.

“‘Even the tip of one’s pinky can be used as a medium.’ I found it hard to believe that I left any remains of the enemy that large, but...the first wave of beastkin must have been monsters I killed when I used to be reckless. That’s why I didn’t properly dispose of their corpses.”

“‘Dispose’...? Absurd. Are you claiming you reduced every enemy you fought to dust, leaving no trace of them behind?”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

Sirrusht falls speechless, but me...?

Yessssssssssss!! Every time Seiya defeated an enemy, he obsessively torched their bodies and dropped them into the center of the planet. Honestly, I always thought, What’s  wrong  with  this  guy?  But  that  weird,  overly  cautious  habit finally paid off!
