Seiya - Earth Snek

He raises his ax in the air and charges Seiya! But out of nowhere, Bunogeos clumsily collapses with a loud thud.

“Hmmmm? Whaaaaaat?!”

I look carefully and notice something tied around the beastkin’s ankle.

I-is  that  earth  magic?!  It  is!  That’s  a  magic  snake  that  can  be  controlled remotely! It’s similar to Automatic Phoenix and can only be cast by high wizards! The earth serpent twists its head and tries to sink its teeth into Bunogeos’s hip, but...

“Is this a joooke?!”

He slices clean through the elongated serpent’s body with his ax, effortlessly turning it into sand.

“Wee-hee-hee! Pathetic!”

Bunogeos  grins  smugly  until,  almost  instantly,  he  hears  a  sound.  Cracks spread across the entire floor, followed by dozens of earth serpents squirming out. Earth serpents are even invading from within the walls and windows!

In an unrestrained voice, Seiya says:

“The mansion is already surrounded by hundreds of earth serpents. There is nowhere for you to run, and no one is coming to save you. This place belongs to the snakes now.”

Wh-when did he summon this many earth serpents?! ...Oh! Seiya wasn’t just hiding underground and stalking Bunogeos these past three days! He was taking his time creating earth serpents! He must have then sent them out to surround
the mansion after that!
