Seiya - Laser Deflect

It was as if Oxerio calculated where Seiya would stop and lured him there. Lasers  are  closing  in  on  Seiya  from  above,  behind,  the  sides—every  angle imaginable.  And  yet,  Seiya  dashes  straight  forward,  recklessly  swinging  his sword horizontally at one of the beams coming at him.

...There’s no way you can cut a laser with a sword. It looks almost like he’s making an attack out of desperation after being driven into a corner. But the moment the laser hits Seiya’s sword, it changes direction! The beam is reflected right back at Oxerio and explodes on impact! The Machine Emperor seems just as puzzled as I am.

“You reflected it? How were you able to quickly respond to a move you had never even seen before?”

“While it may have been the first time I’ve seen it, it’s merely an improved version  of  the  general-purpose  Killing  Machines’  Evil  Laser.  In  addition,  I discovered  that  I  could  reflect  Evil  Laser  with  a  platinum  sword  during  my research.”
