DxD: A World Where T*tties Defy Gravity [ Chapter 112: Kuroka Side! ] (Patreon)

"Nngh!" Undyne growled, as she came into view, followed by Tifa and Alphys, the latter of whom was wielding something that looked like an arm-cannon on her right arm. "Damnit! Thought I could take you by surprise."

"No such luck, nya." Kuroka replied, stepping out from behind Neo and readying two large balls of Ki in her hands. "So, who wants a piece of this naughty kitty?"

Alphys replied by shooting a large blast of lightning at Kuroka from the arm-cannon, and Kuroka leant to the side, dodging the blast. 

She threw the large balls at Alphys, and rushed towards her, while Neo jumped into the air, flipped gracefully, and landed in front of Tifa, smirking while opening her umbrella and holding it behind her shoulder.

She barely reached her chest, in terms of height.

"Oooh, and we've reached our first battle of tonight's Game!" Naud announced to the audience and the people watching on their TVs at home. The combatents couldn't hear his commentary. 

"Looks like two of Rex' Pawns, one of which looks to be the former Stray Devil Kuroka, will be facing off against Imogen's Rook, one of her Knights and one of her Pawns! Looks like this'll be a fun fight!

Tifa immediately ran towards Neo, and began throwing punches and kicks at Rex' diminutive Pawn. However, the number of attacks that made their mark on Neo was equivalent to the number of sane people that actually like Justin Beiber's music.

That being none, by the way.

Neo ducked, dodged and took quick steps away from Tifa's attacks, making sure to dodge barely enough to evade Tifa, so every attack she made only just missed her.

Tifa jumped into the air and kicked out at Neo, who flicked her umbrella to deflect Tifa's kick away from her. 

When Tifa landed down on the ground, she kicked out at Neo again, who swung around Tifa's outstretched leg, leaving Imogen's sole Rook open to a kick from Neo that sent her sprawling to the ground.

Annoyed, Tifa looked up at Neo, who jumped, flipped through the air, and attempted to land an axe-kick on her, but missed as Imogen's Rook jumped to her feet, back-flipped away so she could put some distance between herself and Neo, and dashed back at her, throwing a punch.

However, Neo casually ducked under the punch, reached up to grab Tifa's arm and pulled so she stumbled towards her. 

Neo then swung her leg up high to kick Tifa hard in the face, stunning her, and kicked her in the stomach, sending Tifa sprawling back onto the ground within a moment of the first time she'd gone down.

"Impressive." Raven remarked. "If I remember correctly from the records, that specific Pawn of Rex, Neo, took only one Pawn. And she's beating the hell out of someone worth two Rooks, or ten Pawns. Goes to show that you shouldn't rely on stats alone, everyone."

Growling in anger, Tifa summoned two blue and gold gauntlets on each of her hands, this being her Sacred Gear, the Premium Heart. 

This Gear increased Tifa's attacking strength gradually over time, but this attacking power was lost after she used one of seven special techniques, that she had developed while training this Gear. It also did nothing to increase Tifa's defensive capabilities.

Tifa opened her hand and sent a stream of fire-magic at Neo, but she merely used the canopy of her umbrella to block the attack, and countered by smacking her in the face with it to push her back. 

Tifa tried to fire back again, this time with ice-magic, but Neo ducked, and flicked her umbrella upward into Tifa's face, pushing her back still further, along with jabbing her in the belly with the ferrule of the umbrella.

Imogen's Rook tried to burn Neo from close-range, but her attack was blocked. 

Incensed, Tifa jumped into the air, and tried to throw several rapid-fire punches, which were all infused with fire and ice, at Neo, but Neo flipped away from where she would have been, and landed on a branch of one of the many trees in the forest.

Just to taunt Tifa still further, Neo pulled out an ice-cream cone the same ice-cream cone from earlier from a pocket-dimension, and began licking at the remains of the neapolitan ice-cream still inside.

"Oh, boy." Ruval said. "Tifa looks like she's getting pretty angry right now. And anyone who's faced her, Rating Game or otherwise, would know that you don't like her when she's... upset."

Time left in the Rating Game: 55 minutes.

Kuisha, Misteeta and Beruka who was riding on his armoured horse made quick progress through the forest, having crossed the green stream several minutes ago. 

They had nothing but the sounds of their footsteps and the sound of wind on leaves for company as they progressed, but soon, they heard the sounds of attacks being thrown, both physical and magical.

"The hell was that?" Misteeta asked.

"Seems to be coming from the north-east of here." Beruka remarked, turning his horse, Altobrau, to face that direction.

"Let's go, then." Kuisha replied. "Seems some of our comrades have encountered Rex' peerage. We might be able to help them."

As soon as the words from Sairaorg's Queen left her throat, she, the host of Trick Vanish, and Beruka Furcas moved, with haste, towards where the sounds of fighting were coming from.

Kuroka

Time left in the Rating Game: 53 minutes.

Undyne's spear clashed with the magic-circle shield in Kuroka's left hand, while the lightning-bullets from Alphys' arm-cannon clashed with the magic-circle shield in her right hand.

Undyne gave a scream of rage as she pushed, harder and harder, into the shield, and as her strength began to pay off, the shield began to crack, and Kuroka jumped into the air and flipped behind Undyne, who stumbled forward, accidentally stabbing Alphys in the leg with her spear. It was only when Alphys shrieked in pain when Undyne realised what she had done.
