Seiya - Meteor Strike

“Meteor Strike!”

At his call, the meteor roars as it descends from the sky. It passes right by us—well, with a hundred meters of distance in between.

“It’s a small meteor with a radius of only a few dozen meters, but the energy it  possesses  from  falling  at  such  a  high  speed  is  incredible.  It  will  probably annihilate the army of undead in one shot.”

Before I can even say anything, the shining meteor proceeds to crash into the marching inverted triangle of undead, followed by a deafening explosion! The flames rise like fireworks.

It really was less of a meteor crash and more of an outright bombing. The awesome  thermal  power  swiftly  transforms  the  fields  containing  the  undead into a blazing inferno.

“I adjusted the falling speed of the meteor for the undead. A slow collision would have only made a crater, but a rapid descent creates a phreatic explosion by raising the ground temperature to an ultrahigh degree upon impact. At least one square kilometer of land was affected.”

“W-wow...!” That’s the only thing I can say as I stare at the sea of flame spreading beneath us. I mean, this man seriously defeated an army of ten thousand all by himself! And he did it by altering a small meteor’s orbit to land where he wanted it to. Only a high wizard can use extremely high-level magic like that!

While  powerful,  it’s  a  spell  with  many  restrictions.  You  can  only  use  it  in open areas with no people, and you need silence and some time to concentrate in order to cast it. It’s not very practical overall.”
