As the whole sewer continued to quake violently the source of the quake was soon revealed as giant bugs crawled out of the tunnels and into the area Naruto and Dante were in.
Bugs?
Naruto's expression morphed into one of disgust as he stared at the bugs crawling out of the tunnels.
These giant bugs came in two forms, big and small. The smaller ones were blue and they fly erratically around the cave. The larger green and brown ones cannot fly, but from what he could see this ones were definitely stronger than the other type.
The bug immediately charged at Naruto and Dante as soon as they saw them.
Naruto and Dante also spring into action fighting the wave of demon bugs.
Naruto shot the bugs from a safe distance with limbo. He only used purgatory to fight them once every got close to him before backing away. He wasn't doing this because of his own safety, instead he didn't want to get the bug blood on his body. He was sure that he would stink for hours if even a single drop hit him.
However it was a little difficult for him to distance himself as the bugs frantically charged at him, especially the blue ones, they kept attacking him from above forcing him to engage in close combat.
After fighting the bugs for a while he came to realize a few things. The blue bugs occasionally either perform a rushing slash attack with their forelimbs or vomit what appear to be maggots: these actually represent an evil power that slows down his movement if they hit him.
It was very annoying because the first time it had struck him one of the larger ones had taken the chance to ram into him with it head. That attack has hurt like hell.
However, no matter how annoying the blue ones were, the larger ones could be considered a nightmare. He had come to know that the larger Beelzebubs were cannibals.
If a larger Beelzebub encounters the corpse of its comrades, it will devour it. But the shocking part was tgat after devouring it comrade it will enter a powered-up state resembling the Devil trigger that makes it more dangerous.
Naruto fought against one of the Beelzebub that had achieved that state after devouring it comrade. After a short struggle, he finally managed to defeat the Beelzebub. Since then he made sure to pay attention to this things.
As Naruto fought against one of the huge bugs, a blue Beelzebub descended down from the sky to attack him.
Already expecting Naruto jumped away from the big bug and slashed at the blue bug that was stupid enough to attack him.
"Die!"
Purgatory tore through the bug like hot knife through butter splitting it into two clean halves. However, Naruto had miscalculated his move. Because he had jumped off the ground to attack the bug in midair he couldn't avoid the green blood that spill out of both halves of the bug's body.
Naruto hurriedly raised purgatory above his head with the flat side facing upwards protecting his head from the blood but the rest of his body wasn't spared. The blood splashed on Naruto's body.
Naruto stood still as he landed back in the knee deep sewer water. His bangs covered his face casting a shadow over his face so the expression on his face was unknown.
Dante who had been busy fighting the demon bugs looked over in Naruto's direction and was shocked when he saw the kid standing still without moving. He was about to say something but he suddenly stopped when he saw green blood on Naruto's body and laughed.
After killing a few bugs he realized that the stench of the bugs blood was worse than that of the sewer water so he had been careful not to get any on his person while fighting the bugs. But it seemed like Naruto wasn't so fortunate.
Dante's boisterous laughter echoed in the sewer and when it reached Naruto the shadow cast on his face turned a darker shade.
The bugs seeing Naruto unmoving took the opportunity to attack him. They charged at him from all sides. However, once theywere a few feet away from Naruto, Naruto's eyes snapped open revealing red slanted pupils.
An airwave exploded from Naruto's body and hit the bugs causing them to halt their movements.
Naruto's expression was livid as he glared at the bugs. He tightened his grip on purgatory until his knuckles turned white.
"Looks like the kid is angry. What a troublesome and impulsive kid" Dante shook his head with a dejected sigh when he felt the aura exuding from Naruto's body. However the smile on his face said otherwise.
"This fight is already over. Well it was fun while it lasted"
