DxD: A World Where T*tties Defy Gravity [ Chapter 113: Frozen Fire! ] (Patreon)

Pulling the spear out of Alphys' leg and apologising profusely, she turned to Kuroka, who grinned.

"Oh, dear~" she said, playfully. "Did I accidentally cause a little friendly-fire, nya?"

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!" Undyne screamed, raising her hand and creating a dozen or so spears, before swinging her hand and flinging them all at Kuroka, who began to gracefully dodge all of the attacks coming at her at the same time, with all the acrobatics that Neo had.

However, Kuroka wasn't able to entirely evade damage, as one of Undyne's spears gashed her left side, and the other one nipped one of her black cat-ears, causing her to hiss in pain.

Kuroka summoned a large wheel of Ki, infused with demonic power, turning it black, and flung it at Undyne. Before Imogen's second Knight could get out of the way, Kuroka's attack made its mark, and hit so hard that Undyne was sent flying, and disappeared in a blue light.

"And that's our first retirement of the match!" Naud called this time, his voice COULD be heard by all combatants in the Rating Game dimension. "One of Imogen Belial's Knights, Undyne has been Retired!"

Neo

Time left in the Rating Game: 52 minutes.

Neo, who had finished her ice-cream, jumped down from the tree she was standing in, and landed in front of Tifa, who tried to throw a punch at her midriff. 

However, Neo quickly opened her umbrella, used the canopy to block Tifa's punch, span into the air so she was standing on her hands, rather than her feet, landed in front of Tifa who took a step back in order to avoid getting axe-kicked, and extended her leg out to perform a quick roundhouse-kick to Imogen's Rook, sending her backwards.

Growling, Tifa extended both her hands towards Neo and send a wave of blue, frozen flames a very difficult elemental technique to perform, with there being only one other Devil in the Underworld apart from Tifa who could create frozen fire, her name being Serafall Leviathan directly at Neo. 

However, Neo merely raised her umbrella and blocked the frozen-fire, but not without it doing mild damage to the canopy of her umbrella. 

However, this was inconsequential as it still blocked Tifa's follow-up punch. And when she closed the umbrella, it blocked the punch after, as well.

"Holy hell!" Naud cried. "That umbrella seems to be doing wonders against Imogen's Rook! It looks like it's a part of Neopolitan, she uses it so well!"

Neo proved Naud right by using the umbrella to block Tifa's fire-induced punch, sending her fist flying out of harm's way. 

However, Neo made her first mistake of the fight by attempting to kick Tifa again, as Imogen's Rook grabbed Neo's leg, and used it to throw her away.

Despite this, Neo landed perfectly on her feet, and dashed back at Tifa, jumping on top of her. The two women struggled for a few seconds, before Neo managed to get a good grip on Tifa, and throw her into a large, sturdy tree, knocking her unconscious for a few seconds.

In those few seconds, Neo noticed Alphys charging up a large shot of lightning out of her arm-cannon, and firing it at a defenceless, injured Kuroka. 

Neo, getting an idea, jumped into the air, landed in the way of the blast of lightning, and opened her umbrella so the canopy was facing the lightning-beam at an angle.

When the lightning impacted the umbrella, Neo focused a pulse of demonic energy into the umbrella's canopy, which reflected the beam of lightning from Alphys, and right into the conscious Tifa, knocking her out.

"Well Satan damnit!" Naud cried out. "Some very clever play from Neo there! Using Alphys' blast of lightning, which could very well have Retired Kuroka, to Retire Imogen's sole Rook, Tifa Lockhart..."

Before Alphys fully realised what had happened, Kuroka jumped over Neo, gathered a large amount of Ki in her hands, and threw it at Alphys, which impacted her hard enough to knock her unconscious as well.

"And one of Imogen's Pawns, Alphys, has Retired as well!"Naud announced. "A full sixth of the combined forces of Imogen and Sairaorg have been taken out, and without a single casualty suffered from Rex' side! Very impressive from Kuroka and Neo!"

"What he said." Kuroka spoke to Neo, who looked around. "Nice one, nya."

Neo smiled, and blinked, as Kuisha, Misteeta and Beruka showed up, and saw Kuroka and Neo, standing relatively defenseless.

Taking full advantage, Kuisha conjured up a large sand-storm with her demonic power which was enhanced by the Bishop trait of her Queen piece, headed it up so quickly that the sand became small spikes of glass, and sent them all flying at Kuroka and Neo.

However, when the glass impacted two of Rex' Pawns, they shattered, leaving neither of them there.

"The hell?" Kuisha whispered, looking around, before she saw the distant sight of Kuroka and Neo leaving the scene with extreme haste.

They had escaped.

Time left in the Rating Game: 51 minutes.

With Asia close to the pair of them, Akeno and Rias walked through the forest, having crossed the stream some time ago.

"We should be coming close to the other stream soon." Akeno remarked to Asia. "Then you can cross, Promote, and help me and Rias out with whatever comes our way."

"I'm afraid that's not going to happen." a voice said, just before a large fireball came flying in the direction of Akeno and Rias, who noticed it in the nick of time, and threw up a combined barrier to stop it from damaging them. Or Asia.

When the fiery blast dissipated, it was revealed that Ayaka Phenex, the one who cast the fireball, was walking calmly towards Akeno, Rias and Asia, with Misteeta Sabnock and Himari Noihara on either side of her.

"Hmm, one of you seems to be a Phenex." Akeno remarked, stepping forward and spreading her eight white Devil wings, as she gathered a ball of Holy Lightning in her hand. "Shall we fight, one-to-one?"
