Seiya - Burst Air

Seiya sticks it on the tip of the flute, then locks a sharp eye on the beastkin a few dozen meters away.

“I  lost  a  lot  of  abilities  when  I  quit  being  a  Spellblade,  but  I  learned  new abilities in exchange. Resilient Lungs, Sustained Fluting—I will integrate all Jolly Piper special abilities into this one blow.”

He brings the silver flute to his lips.

“Take this! Burst Air!”

Bang! A dry sound echoes.

...I have no idea what just happened, but when I look in the direction the flute is pointing, I’m speechless. Although he was happily chatting with his friend up until a few seconds ago, the cat beastkin’s head is now gone!

“Huh...?”

Noticing his friend’s head missing, the dog beastkin foolishly barks: “H-hey,uh...? Where’d your head g—?”

Bang! Another dry pop.

The dog beastkin’s head instantly vanishes! Black blood flows from their necks before they simultaneously hit the ground.

While trembling at the horrific sight, I think to myself: Jolly Piper, my ass!

“S-Seiya!! What the hell is that?! I thought that was supposed to be a flute!”

“Calling it a ‘blowpipe’ would be more accurate. I combined the flute with your hair last night and synthesized it just like when making platinum swords, thus creating a platinum blowpipe, which has increased durability and improved noise reduction when firing."
