All around her were spears of light. Dozens of them. With a hand gesture, the spears of light rained down upon the group.
There was nowhere for Karlamine and Siris to run. The barrier Naruto had set up left them trapped.
They were even cut off from what space was available to maneuver by Naruto creating clones to hem them in.
A limited space and dozens of light spears. The end result was obvious.
Both were punctured multiple times. They weren't serious wounds. Raynare had favored numbers over size and intensity. The light would ensure even small wounds were sufficient to retire them.
"I lose," Karlamine admitted simply, her voice pained. That was her last words before she disappeared in light.
[Riser-sama's two knights, retired.]
Naruto formed a hand seal to let the barrier drop with a sigh of relief. He then waited for Raynare to alight next to him before commenting, "You were late. That was probably closer to six minutes."
"Shut up. You weren't the one that had to walk under two battling queens while helpless. Plus, I arrived in time to save your ass," Raynare immediately fired back.
"Save my ass? Please. I was just fine," Naruto immediately claimed indignantly.
"If you were just fine, then why didn't you manage to finish them?" Raynare demanded.
"In case you forgot, it was planned that way. I stall them while saving energy, and you come in for the finish," Naruto pointed out.
That was the crux of this trap. Naruto would trap his opponents in a barrier, and stall them.
Raynare would meanwhile sneak into the enemy base to promote before coming to reinforce Naruto.
A wide scale attack on the trapped opponents would then finish them off.
This was done to save Naruto energy. Naruto could have defeated those two, but it wouldn't have been easy.
They need to save as much energy as possibly in case things degenerated into a stamina battle against Riser.
Naruto had used little ninjutsu during that battle on purpose. The only technique he used repeatedly was the shadow clone technique.
Now while the shadow clone technique requires a lot of chakra to effectively use, it doesn't actually drain much chakra.
The user gets all the chakra of the clone back after it dispels. If the clones are limited to taijutsu, the user basically gets all the chakra he put into it back.
So while that battle was physically demanding on Naruto, chakra-wise he was okay.
[Rias-sama's rook, retired.]
That sudden announcement cut off any playful banter between Naruto and Raynare.
Narrowly dodging another blast of flames, Yuuto took refuge behind a tree.
Things were not looking good for him and Koneko. Ravel was focusing on Yuuto while Mihae targeted Koneko. On both sides they were being pushed back.
Kneeling down, Yuuto peeked around the tree. Ravel was standing in the open boldly, not worried in the least of an attack.
Placing a hand on the ground, Yuuto concentrated on utilizing Sword Birth.
Using it from this distance was difficult, but Yuuto managed to birth half a dozen swords from the ground beneath Ravel.
The blonde didn't bother moving even when the ground beneath her started shaking.
She even stayed still when the demonic blades shot up, piercing her body multiple times. Without flinching, she waited as the newly created wounds bled fire.
The fire was so intense that the parts of the blades still imbedded in her were burned to ashes. With her wounds healed, she calmly stepped through the damaged swords.
Yuuto just gave a depressed sigh. That was his fourth time doing that, and it was still having no effect.
He had hoped wounding her repeatedly would strain her stamina and mind, but his demonic blades appeared completely ineffective.
Sensing a buildup of demonic power, Yuuto shot away from the tree. Within seconds, the tree was engulfed in an explosion. Taking cover again, Yuuto desperately tried to formulate a plan.
"Come on. I've been taking it easy on you because you are easy on the eyes, but this is starting to bore me.
Your little blades are useless against my immortality," Ravel called out mockingly.
While that was totally insulting, Yuuto couldn't argue. Ravel was truly showing him the power behind the word 'immortal.' To have an opponent that can take everything you can dish out without even flinching…It was disheartening.
Yuuto had been prepared for it since they spent so long discussing the immortality of the Phenex, but experiencing it himself was totally different.
Not all was lost though. He still had one trump card he could use against Ravel. He just needed to find the proper opportunity.
Not to mention Ravel wasn't his target. Mihae was. Ravel was just the obstacle standing in the way. He doesn't need to defeat Ravel, he just needed to bypass her.
Peeking around the tree again, Yuuto focused on Mihae. She was facing away from him while launching wind spells in the direction of Koneko.
The bishop wasn't nearly as powerful as Ravel was, even when Ravel wasn't serious. Yuuto was positive he could defeat her. Koneko wasn't as lucky.
From what Yuuto had seen, Koneko was in bad shape. Her ribs were clearly worse than he had first thought.
The trees provided plenty of cover for her, but Koneko simply lacked the ease of movement necessary to reach her opponent.
Truthfully, this was just a bad match up for both Yuuto and Koneko. They were both close range fighters.
Their opponents were long range fighters. Unless they could close the distance, they were helpless.
Readying himself, Yuuto left his cover. He then moved at Ravel as quickly as possibly.
She lazily tossed a few fireballs at him, which he managed to dodge. When he got close enough, Yuuto unleashed several quick strikes with his sword.
Ravel didn't bother dodging, letting her regeneration deal with the wounds. Instead with a wide sweep of her hand, she sent a wave of fire at Yuuto while he was up close.
Yuuto retreated, but couldn't dodge the attack entirely. His left arm sustained a light burn.
He had managed to complete part of his plan though. While attacking Ravel, he had been subtly circling around her. Now he was between Ravel and Mihae.
