The skin also had a burn on it. Noticing another flinch, Yuuto also realized she probably had bruised or cracked ribs.
Koneko just took a magical blast from close range to the chest. Even a rook can't shrug something like that off.
"I underestimated your group. You realized we would have a backup squad for the group that went to confront the crass blonde, and prepared an ambush for us. I'm impressed," Ravel stated calmly, seemingly unruffled by the failed ambush. "I am curious on how you snuck up on us though. Your demonic power was perfectly hidden right up until you attacked."
Yuuto gave a polite smile as he replied, "Sorry, but we aren't quite ready to give up that secret quite yet."
"Disappointing, but it doesn't matter," Ravel claimed with a small sigh.
Yuuto's mind was already racing. This was not the plan. Koneko managed to remove the two pawns, but Yuuto failed to eliminate the bishop. That seriously complicated things.
They had been aiming to take out everyone in this group besides Ravel before they even had a chance to recover and mount a defense.
This was suppose to be an ambush, not an all out fight.
Yuuto had failed to defeat the bishop though, and Koneko has already sustained an injury. Things had very quickly taken a turn for the worst.
They needed to eliminate that bishop.
"Okay. Naruto-kun's challenge should draw most of Riser's attention. His pride will demand it. No to mention the clear trap.
I'm guessing he'll use all his remaining pieces to deal with Naruto-kun," Rias explained to the group.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he reluctantly admitted, "I know I'm good, but I'm not so sure I could handle that many pieces. Three or four would probably be my limit, depending on what pieces they are. Even just stalling a large group would be a challenge."
"Riser will be cautious. He won't send them all out in one group," Rias claimed thoughtfully.
"Especially with the explosive trap we plan to open with. He won't risk losing all his pieces like that," Akeno quickly added.
"So what will he do?" Naruto questioned. They were relying on Naruto's unpredictable tactics quite a bit, but Naruto wasn't all knowing. Rias was far more likely to be able to predict what Riser will do.
Rias thought for several moments before stating slowly, "If it was me, I would split the group. I would choose a small group to set off the obvious trap, confronting Naruto in this case. The rest would then stay back to provide support if needed."
"Somewhat simple, but still solid," Akeno commented with a nod.
"Okay. A smaller group I can successfully stall, but that just means we need to take out or distract the backup group," Naruto pointed out.
"It seems Yuuto and Koneko will be stepping up," Akeno said with a smile.
"Understood."
"Okay."
Those were the respective replies of the two. Raynare quickly pitched in by stating, "Not to burst your bubble, but will they be sufficient? You said Riser will be using all his remaining pieces. That means these two will probably be outnumbered. Maybe I should accompany them?"
"You will already be doing something else," Naruto quickly replied. After a second though, he continued, "You do have a point though. Yuuto and Koneko-chan are tough, but they'll probably be outnumbered."
"There is also the issue of Ravel Phenex," Yuuto added. He quickly elaborated to the group, "From what we've seen, Ravel doesn't fight. Instead she acts as a sort of…field commander while Riser stays at their base. Considering she doesn't fight personally, I doubt she'll be in the group that confronts Naruto. So that means she'll be in the backup group. How would we handle her?"
Rias nodded in understanding and carefully said, "Ravel hasn't ever personally fought in any of Riser's matches, but I doubt she'll sit by if it looks like Riser is going to lose. She also has the same immortality as Riser."
"An ambush then," Naruto suggested. Naruto preferred direct combat, but some ninja tactics stuck with him. If facing a numerically superior force, use an ambush to take them by surprise. "Yuuto and Koneko-chan sneak up on them, and take them out before they even know what is going on. Afterwards they flee. Ravel will still be active, but with the other pieces defeated she'll probably retreat to make a stand with Riser."
"That sounds like a good option, but I'm not sure if I could manage that. Koneko-chan has some stealth skills, but I'm not exactly…sneaky," Yuuto remarked hesitantly.
"Don't worry. I think I got something in mind. It won't be perfect, but it should allow you to get close," Naruto declared with a grin.
"We'll go with that then," Rias stated simply. Turning to look at Yuuto and Koneko, Rias ordered seriously, "Take them out as quickly as you can. Leave only Ravel active. Eliminate everyone else."
Yuuto hadn't managed to complete his objective. Koneko and him couldn't retreat till that other bishop was taken out.
When it comes time to defeat Riser and Ravel, they couldn't allow anymore of the enemy to be there to interfere.
Defeating not one, but two immortal opponents would be difficult enough without a bishop being there chucking magical attacks at them.
"Koneko-chan. Can you fight?" Yuuto asked as he eyed Ravel and the bishop.
"Yes, Yuuto-senpai," Koneko claimed as she straightened, fighting the pain she was feeling. Yuuto nodded in acceptance of her words and drew his sword, pointing it at the bishop.
The bishop stepped forward, announcing, "I'll take care of these two, Ravel-sama. You have already been forced to do more than enough."
She was going to face them alone? From what they'd seen, this bishop was one of the stronger pieces in Riser's peerage.
Not to the point that Yuuto felt he couldn't defeat her in one on one combat though. With Koneko on his side, Yuuto was sure they could finish her.
Ravel apparently came to the same conclusion, as she gave a exaggerated sigh before stepping forward and declaring, "Unfortunately, it appears Onii-sama has greatly underestimated the Gremory Group.
