Seiya - Automatic Phoenix 2

Engraved with the face of a human on its trunk, two human-faced trees are coming this way.

“Perfect! Just you wait, stumpies!”

Unsheathing his sword, Mash runs as fast as he can, but he’s no match for the speed of the phoenix in the sky. It quickly swoops down and crashes into the trees,  setting  them  ablaze  before  Mash  can  even  get  close.  He  stops,  then simply  stares  in  astonishment.  However,  I  scream  to  Elulu:  “Look!  There  are more behind you!”

Charging toward us is a swarm of killer ants the size of human children.

“Elulu! You should be able to use Fire Arrow and hit them from here! The phoenix just exploded, too, so now’s your chance!”

“O-okay!”

Elulu immediately uses Fire Arrow.

“Take thiiis!”

Moments before the arrow hits the ants, another phoenix suddenly descends in  front  of  the  spell  and  easily  knocks  it  away  with  one  of  its  wings  before ramming into the ants, resulting in a huge blaze.

Elulu  is  stunned.  Seiya  stands  by  her  side  with  his  arms  crossed,  a  look  of satisfaction on his face.

“You’re wasting your time. Automatic Phoenix will instantly kill all monster sunder level thirty, and there are always three of them on standby in the sky. So neither of you needs to do anything.”
