He frowned as he thought about that, maybe he was too quick to turn to Naruto. Naruto never said anything about being strong himself right? All he knew about the blond was that he could make copies of himself and had good speed and stamina.
That's it.
He really hoped that he had a trick up his sleeve. But before he could ponder on the question further...something happened.
He felt it before he saw it.
A tremor...a large tremor.
The ground was shaking and Issei was quickly losing his balance to the sudden movement. Man...what the hell was going on right-
Then he saw it.
His eyes widened as a shock wave of power slammed into him and pushed him into the tree behind him. He groaned at the pain the action had made while staring up in horror at what he was seeing.
Fallen angels.
A lot of them.
All grouped together above a large plume of smoke.
The brown haired boy was feeling numb as despair was beginning to set in. That was definitely where Naruto headed...there was no way he survived that.
Then something more horrifying began.
The fallen angels were moving...they were moving in his direction!
Issei scrambled to get out of the way, but he doubted he would make it. But he couldn't give up yet...not until he saved Asia!
Before he could allow this second wind to empower him, he felt a hand grab him by the back of his shirt and pull him into the bushes. Issei had his heart in his throat as he automatically tried shouting out in surprise before he felt a hand cover his mouth. His eyes widened in shock and horror.
No...no no no no!
Did he get caught!?
"Damn it...shut up Issei and wait for them to pass!" a familiar voice hissed in his ear.
The teenaged boy's eyes widened.
Naruto!
Then he saw the large group of fallen angels pass by their hiding spot as they seemed to be focused on chasing down something rather than looking for anyone else.
Seconds ticked by as they both stayed quiet before Naruto finally let go of the breath he was holding and let Issei go. The second he let go, the plain-looking boy turned around and opened his mouth for a question-and-answer session.
But before he could begin, the blond cut him off.
"Issei, we don't have time for this. We have to get to your friend before the fallen realize that we tricked them." Naruto said quickly while grabbing Issei by the arm so he could stand up. The perverted boy frowned for a moment, but he nodded after thinking about it. They really didn't have time to mess around right now.
Issei began jogging with Naruto as he made his way to the abandoned church before the blond spoke again.
"By the way. I'm a clone."
Issei deadpanned.
"...Where's the real you?"
The Naruto clone just scratched his head.
"Well...you see the boss is..."
The real Naruto was currently dodging and weaving light spears that were raining from the sky.
After his initial encounter with the fallen, he decided that instead of fighting them...he should make a break for it so that he could take them with him. The reason for doing this was pretty simple.
He sorely miscalculated on how many fallen angels there would be here. I mean how can you blame him!?
For the rescue mission to save one of their own in the abandoned factory, there were very few!
Their home base is a small abandoned church!
Azazel never mentioned that a large amount of fallen have joined Vretiel!
He had every reason to think that there were only ten-fallen strong!
But turned out there were more like...fifty.
Probably more since they were all above the clouds.
Even then he could probably just obliterate them with a few clever tricks, but the initial miscalculation bred another one.
Bringing Issei.
Now he has to focus more on making sure that Issei wasn't caught in the cross-fire as well as fight them.
So he was leading them away, to a safer location to bring the fear of God back to them.
But now he had another problem.
This problem had something to do with the large amount of explosions that were peppering around him.
By sheer number, they were preventing him from counterattacking properly. Not to mention the fact that they were very high in the air. So high that it would leave him wide open for a split-second if he tried to jump to them before he actually reached them!
So he had to improvise. He was good at that anyways.
But first...
Naruto continued dodging the light spears, some were impaling the ground while others were setting off explosions which decimated the local forestry. The explosions were quickly causing small fires to break out and spread among the still healthy trees.
In short, there was a lot of smoke.
That would work.
Vretiel was staring at the burning forest with frustration. Her subordinates were simply not getting the blond menace. Every time one of them would get a decent shot at the boy, he would veer off from its destination as if he knew where it would land!
Which was why she was going to begin her own assault in a moment.
She couldn't afford the negative perception that her own attack on the human would bring. The simple fact that she would attack a 'downer' at all would have looked terribly bad to her subordinates.
Why would someone so strong even bother attacking a weak human?
Unless they weren't so strong after all.
But now she was sure that they would accept her own attack of the blond since they were as fed up as she was. Now...they just wanted the wily human dead.
She would oblige them.
She raised her hand in order to cease the attacks of her fallen comrades, most followed while some begrudgingly followed. Good enough.
With that same hand she formed a light spear which was surrounded by rings, it was bigger than her.
The same one at the factory.
She looked up to stare at it for a moment. Then she put more power into it.
Now it was the twice the size of the one at the factory.
Perfect.
"Rejoice downer! For you shall fall to a soon-to-be legendary figure in history! You shall get your own footnote as one of the many that I have destroyed! Congratulations." Vretiel said with a dark grin.
"Now die."
