Since guns were practically useless they could only go up and personal with their blades. Dante's sure hike and Naruto's chakra powered jump allowed then to attack the Death scythe mid air. Under their relentless assault, it finally couldn't take it anymore. A helm breaker from Naruto was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"He ain't so tough"
Once the Death Scythe was defeated, the two of them turned to look at the well-like hole in front of them before exchanging glaces.
Dante smiled and gestured for Naruto to go first. "After you my good sir"
Naruto rolled his eyes at him and muttered underneath his breath. "Stupid Dante". He jump down the hole. This leads to a confined underground area where naruto was set upon by waves of Blades.
Dante jump down in time to assist him. Using the grenadegun or Shotgun in naruto's case, they managed to deal with the wave. When the initial wave of Blades is defeated, Naruto turned to Dante and glared at him.
"What?" Dante shouted, feeling uncomfortable wuth the way Naruto was looking at him.
Next time. You go first." Naruto left him behind and walk through a broken section of the wall where the second wave of blades had broken out from. Dante followed behind him hopelessly.
They climbed up through the wall and jump up the shaft, and found themselves in a partitioned-off area. In here is with a object on a raised platform in a dead end. Dante pick up theSign of Chastity which is a taxiderimic organ coated by crystal.
Naruto poke the crystal with a quizzical look. "Looks like a brain."
"Then do you want it. You can never have too many. Infact, I think you need it."
Naruto frowned at Dante's indirect insinuation that he was brainless. He glared ominously at him but Dante acted oblivious to the situation.
He kept the sign of chastity in his spatial storage and jump back down the shaft and into the underground area. Dante was promptly attacked by the blades that had reappeared while they were away.
Naruto watched Dante fight all the blades on his own. He told himself that a man with brains can handle everything himself. Dante on the other hand was happily giving the demons hell to notice anything. It was only after the last demon fell of this deadly weapons did he notice Naruto standing a few distance to the back.
He raised a questioning eyebrow and asked. "What are you doing all the way back there?"
"Just enjoying the show" Naruto said with a tight smile.
"As if"
Returning to the greenhouse and go out through one of the two doors at the far end. They walk through the lower door into the room with a small arc bridge and a little pedestal under the structure directly ahead of the lower door. There is a cup on the base protected by a powerful light.
Naruto cleared the dust on the pedestal and read the words on it.
"Prove yourself worthy with the sign"
Dante pulled out the sign of chastity from his pocket and said. "This should be it, right?"
"There's no harm in trying."
Dante nodded and placed the Sign Of Chastity in the open hole on the platform. The light disappeared releasing the Chalice which Dante picked up the Chalice only for the room to lock down.
Naruto who was already on high alert, glanced around and asked. "Did we accidentally trigger a trap?"
"Hahahahahaha"
They turned around at the same time to look at the familiar figure standing on high ground.
"I don't think that's the reason"
Without wasting any time Nelo Angelo pulled out his sword and charge at them. Dante move in to block the attack He glance at Naruto and said. "Cover for me, Naruto"
"Got it"
Not taking any chances this time, Dante went full DT from the start before engaging Nelo. Naruto didn't hold back either. His five tailed cloak enveloped his body. If Dante could lose to this demon, then what hope does he have.
While Dante had Nelo Angelo's attention, Naruto move in and out attacking his blind spots. Nelo Angelo had to bear the brunt of their attacks. If fighting Dante alone before was considered hard, then things just went up another level. Their coordination was flawless like they had been practicing this for a long time.
"Ahhhhh"
Having had enough, Nelo released his aura pushing the both of them back. Before they could attack him again he teleported to another location. And this time he didn't just do it once, but on multiple times.
"Shit" Naruto gasped as his eyes could barely keep up with Nelo.
Swoosh!
He heard an attack coming from behind him but he could barely react. However, his cloak was able to react in time on it own and managed to block the attack but the force behind the attack sent him flying into a pillar.
Nelo Angelo seeing this opportunity rushed at him quickly to finish him off. Naruto watched the sword making it way towards him and prepared for the worse. A purple aura surrounded the sword as it descended down on him. However..
Clang!
Dante blocked the attack with Alastor at the last second. His demonic aura clashed with Nelo's own, cancelling each other out.
"Have you forgotten about me?"
