"Rias-sama is…allowing her personal feelings to interfere with her judgment," Ravel claimed after a moments pause. "Onii-sama is partially at fault. He was besotted by Rias-sama to the point that he rushed the courtship process, coming off as demanding and unsympathetic to her feelings. Regardless, Rias-sama shall learn to understand Onii-sama and become content with her life. She'll then see just why this marriage is necessary."

"I still call bullshit on that. If the prosperity of the devil race relies on having Rias marry Riser then I think there are larger issues to worry about," Naruto pointed out skeptically. Sighing, he then continued, "I don't even know why we are talking about this. I'm not going to convince you, and you aren't going to convince us. So let's solve this the old fashioned way by fighting."

"Just as crude as I would expect from someone of your station, but you are correct. I'll try to finish this quickly. I do not feel like wasting more time here than necessary," Ravel announced.

"Don't hurry too much. I made a promise to make some yakitori out of some phoenix today. I'd prefer your brother, but if you underestimate me you might find your cute little ass roasted," Naruto exclaimed with a playful smirk.

That drew the ire of Ravel, who launched a stream of fire at Naruto. Laughing, he dodged out of the way.

He managed to send a discreet look at Raynare after he landed though, motioning for her to take to the air.

Raynare nodded, grew her wings, and jumped into the air. Naruto then looked back towards Ravel.

She didn't seem worried in the least. Only annoyed by his comments. She clearly didn't view them as a threat.

Damn, Naruto was really going to enjoy knocking the arrogance out of this girl.

He started running in her direction. Multiple blasts of fire were released from her hands at Naruto, but he moved to the side to dodge.

He then ran a circle around Ravel, who continued trying to fry him. At least until an unpleasant feeling rose in her chest.

Acting purely by instinct, Ravel jumped backwards. Just in time to dodge a spear of light Raynare had chucked. It ended up sticking into the ground in front of her.

Recognizing the light element of the spear and sensing the unstable makeup of the spear, she raised a wall of flames between herself and the spear. It proved smart as the spear exploded just seconds later.

Naruto slowed to a stop as smoke engulfed Ravel's former position. He doubted that had taken her out.

Despite her arrogant attitude, Ravel had good instincts.

To have sensed the danger of the light spear and reacted in time to suppress the explosion. It was impressive.

His belief was proven true when Ravel burst out of the smoke, wings of flame on her back. She was heading straight for Raynare.

Raynare quickly created half a dozen light spears around her before launching them at the approaching Ravel.

Showing impressive aerial ability, Ravel spun to avoid most of them while simultaneously sending a blast of flame to destroy two she couldn't dodge.

With the brief obstacle handled, Ravel formed fire around her fists as she closed with Raynare.

Who wanted no part of that. Raynare allowed herself to fall backwards, causing Ravel to fly over her.

Forming a light spear in her hand, she tried to take advantage of her maneuver by stabbing Ravel in the stomach.

Ravel spun out of the way before unleashing a wide wave of fire from her hand.

Incapable of dodging, Raynare was forced to use her light spear to slice the wave of fire in half.

As soon as the fire passed around her, she found Ravel diving at her. Raynare quickly threw the spear.

Ravel aborted her attack to dodge, sensing that Raynare had destabilized the spear. It exploded between the two.

Raynare glared at her opponent as a brief lull in the fighting appeared.

As much as it galled her to admit it, she couldn't deny Ravel was far more powerful than herself.

The intensity of her fire attacks was beyond anything Raynare had faced before. She also had far power than Raynare did, even with her bishop promotion.

Raynare's one advantage was her ability to use light. Ravel couldn't rely on her regeneration when dealing with light.

"A fallen angel. Rias-sama has a diverse peerage. Your power of light is the natural antithesis of us devils.

I have no choice but to eliminate you before it can be put to use," Ravel declared seriously. She then shot off at Raynare.

"Rasengan," Naruto called out as he appeared underneath her. He wasn't going to sit by and watch.

The swirling ball of energy in his hand, Naruto shoved it into Ravel's side. An entire third of her waist was destroyed by the attack.

Which didn't seem to bother her one bit. Ignoring the missing part of her torso, Ravel held her hand up before Naruto's chest.

Naruto knew he didn't want to take a direct shot from this close.

Swiping his hand upwards, Naruto caught her wrist and forced it to the side. Just in time, as her hand spawned an explosion just afterwards.

Naruto's quick action saved him from being engulfed by the explosion, but the force of the explosion sent him tumbling to the ground.

With that threat temporarily dealt with, Ravel turned towards who she considered to be the larger threat. The light user.

Raynare had tried to take advantage of Naruto's interference by hurling a spear at the distracted Ravel.

Ravel acted quickly though, forming balls of fire in both hands.

Combining the two attacks together, she launched the attack as a counter to the light spear.

The light spear was just feet away from Ravel when the fire attack hit it.

It was completely overpowered by the fire. With the light spear consumed, the flames continued onwards to Raynare.

Raynare tried to fly backwards, but couldn't dodge it entirely.

She was forced to cross her arms over her chest to try and endure the fireball. Raynare was blasted backwards with her arms heavily burned.

Trying to hold in her groan of pain, Raynare quickly turned and tried to flee. She needed to buy time for Naruto to get back into the fight. She couldn't last long against Ravel alone.

"It's useless," Ravel called out. Either predicting Raynare's plan or thinking along similar lines herself, Ravel sent a large blast of flames at the recovering Naruto.

With Naruto momentarily distracted, Ravel started pursuing Raynare.

Ravel couldn't deny Raynare was a good flier. In order to catch her, Ravel had to stop her.

Hands lighting up in flames, Ravel threw multiple attacks in front of Raynare.

Raynare was forced to come to a halt in order to not be caught up in the resulting explosions.

With her own momentum now stopped and Ravel heading towards her at top speed, Raynare knew she couldn't avoid a confrontation.Gritting her teeth, Raynare forced down her pain and lifted an arm. Concentrated as much power as she could into a single light spear, Raynare turned towards the approaching Ravel and shouted defiantly, "Don't underestimate me!"

Raynare thrust her spear towards the approaching Ravel. Surprisingly, Ravel didn't bother dodging.

She let the spear pierce through her chest. Raynare quickly found out why, as Ravel used it as an opportunity to close with Raynare.

Ravel placed her hands against Raynare's chest in that moment.

Raynare was then engulfed in an explosion.

"Raynare," Naruto called out in concern.

The smoke from the explosion covered the two, briefly obscuring Naruto's view. Only for a second though as he soon saw a figure plummet out of the smoke limply.

Naruto quickly identified it as a burnt and heavily damaged Raynare. Before Naruto could jump to catch her, he saw her disappear in light.

[Rias-sama's pawn, retired.]

Naruto clenched his fist in anger. Damn it. Raynare was one of their trump cards if things degenerated into a stamina battle against Riser.

Her light spears would be super effective at dealing Riser damage.

Ravel wasn't suppose to be here. The entire group had studied Riser's peerage, and Ravel had quickly been identified as a huge problem.

Defeating Riser would be difficult enough without having a second person with immortality interfering.

Thankfully, Ravel seemed to be in Riser's peerage in name only. She never fought during any of his Rating Games.

They had predicted she'd interfere if it appeared Riser was going to lose, but not like this. They figured she'd retreat to make a 'last stand' with Riser.

They certainly didn't expect her to go on the offensive like this. Raynare had been the one to pay the price of this unexpected action.

Naruto also couldn't deny this was partly his fault. Rias had been of the opinion that Raynare should promote to queen, as it was the strongest piece. Naruto had argued against it though.

Raynare's intense training meant she could promote to queen, but he still hadn't felt it the best option. Promotion was basically a sacrifice of stamina for power.

The more power, the greater the cost in stamina. Once a pawn gains enough stamina the cost becomes negligible, but Raynare isn't quite there yet.

After she promotes to queen, Raynare has one good battle in her. She might be able to do a second, but she'd clearly be tired by that point.

Since Raynare's greatest use would be in a stamina battle against Riser, Naruto had believed they should prioritize stamina over raw power.

Thus the bishop promotion. That had come to bite them in the ass though.

With Ravel's unexpected assault, the queen promotion would have been of greater use. Heightened speed for evasion, and greater defense for enduring attacks.

Those two aspects might very well have made a huge difference.

Naruto doubted Raynare could defeat Ravel even with a queen promotion, but she would have been able to stall Ravel long enough for Naruto to come to her aid.

Now they were out another fighter.

Naruto took a deep breath to calm his thoughts. He then looked up at the cloud of smoke and waited as the smoke slowly cleared.

No further announcement came, so Naruto wasn't surprised when the smoke pulled back to reveal Ravel. She was looking quite smug as she looked down at him.

Forcing himself to stay calm, Naruto examined his opponent intently.

Clearly a single light spear from someone of Raynare's level wasn't enough to overcome the regeneration of the Phenex Clan, but there had to be some effect.

The Phenex were still devils. Light was still extremely effective against them.

Ravel had a hole right in the center of her chest. Flames were licking at it, but the overall healing was going at a snail's pace.

Naruto had seen videos of Phenex members regenerate wounds in two or three seconds. Based on his estimations, this small hole would take over a minute.

Ravel didn't appear to be in too much pain as she looked down at him, but her skin looked to be paler than it was just a minute ago.

There were even beads of sweat forming on her temples.

It all proved Naruto's belief true. Ravel was effected by Raynare's attack.

It wasn't enough to eliminate her, not even close, but it was something. Raynare had created the first crack in Ravel's immortality.

It now fell to Naruto to tear that crack wide open. He wouldn't let Raynare's defeat be for nothing.

"Now that the only real threat to Onii-sama and I is beaten, I can deal with you," Ravel announced.

"Really? You are just going to write me off like that?" Naruto asked in a deadpan.

"Of course. You do appear competent, but your opponent is the 'immortal bird'. No matter how powerful or competent you are, it has nothing on the 'immortal bird'. The gap is too large for you to currently bridge," Ravel explained as if she was talking to a child.

"I don't really give a crap about your fucking 'immortal bird'," Naruto declared without a hint of the levity or playfulness he usually has.

Glaring at her, Naruto continued openly, "I like to think I'm a nice guy, but I absolutely hate seeing my comrades being defeated.
