"Begone!"
Griffon fired off a barrage of lightning bolts at them from above. Naruto dived out of the way, using his tails to propel and maneuver himself around the lightning bolts.
Dante opened fire on the griffon using the grenadegun to deal heavy damage, cancelling out it's attack. Naruto didn't slack off either firing overdrive whenever he had the chance.
Griffon launched an energy wing at Naruto. The glowing red bird attaches itself to him with a yellow lightning before hitting him and launching him high up. The griffon giving up the opportunity attacked Naruto with a swing of it wings.
"Fuck!"
Naruto blocked the attack with purgatory but the force behind it sent him crashing into a side of the deck.
Dante switched from the grenadegun back to Ebony and Ivory which unleashed a torrent of fire, showcasing their firing speed as they blasted at the demonic bird.
"Shit" Naruto cursed as he glared at the griffon flying overhead. That hit just now had left his hands numb.
"You okay kid?!" Dante asked from where he stood when he heard Naruto cursing without not taking his eyes off the griffon.
"I'm fine" Naruto said as he tightened his grip on purgatory.
Screech.
Griffon flies directly over the ship, screeches, and lands between the main and middle masts forcing the two of them to move out of the way. Griffon summoned up a storm of lightning around him similar to his death attack.
"Bad idea birdie!" Dante roared with a grin which was reflected by Naruto as the two of them open fire on it like a couple of trigger happy gun junkies.
Aarrrghh!" The griffon flew off the deck due to the amount of damages it was receiving from the two of them trying to escape their encampment.
"Naruto!" Dante called out and Naruto immediately knew what he wanted. Naruto held out one of his tail for Dante to jump on it before he was thrown at the Griffon. Dante switched out alastor for Ifrit when he got near Griffon.
Griffon not taking any chances opened it mouth to shoot a bolt of lightning at Dante but a red ethereal tail appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around it mouth sealing it shut.
"Not this time". Naruto smirked feeling satisfied with himself. However that was soon interrupted.
A part of the ship suddenly lit up in a red hue drawing the attention of the Griffon. It looked there only to see Dante charging at it with a weird gauntlet in his arms and legs giving off a searing heat.
A red fiery flame emerged from Ifrit ready to consume whatever it came in touch with. Dante unleashed a flurry of attack on griffon like a Gatling gun, leaving it at his mercy. Dante finished off the attack with Ifrit meteor technique sending griffon flying back
Screech!
The lightning around it body dimmed as it steadied itself midair. Those attacks from Dante had done a lot of damages to the Griffon causing it to screech angrily at them. Never in it life would it have thought that it would be pushed so far by these inferior creatures.
"This is not over" The Griffon gave them one last glare before flying away.
Dante scoffed at the retreating bird. "See you around pretty bird"
"That was exhausting" Naruto sighed in relief after they finally managed to drive the crazy bird off. Though he doubt that would be the last time they see the bird again. The red chakra cloak around his body quickly receded back into his body.
With nothing stopping it anymore, the light of saint Elmo lit back up on the ship opening up the captain's cabin. Theywalk inside the Captain's cabin, which has a Divinity Statue with some objects and antiques scattered around.
"Woah. Not a bad collection." Naruto nodded fondly at the antiques in the cabin. Obviously the captain must have been a collector.
'I guess even the dead have hobbies.'
While Naruto was checking out every antique in the cabin, Dante, however, had his eyes on a golden statue next to the globe on the right-hand side of the cabin with a staff in it hand. The staff had two snakes coiling around it.
Drowning out naruto's excited chattering Dante picked up the staff, but as soon as he did the ship shook violently.
"What the hell is going on?" Naruto looked around cluelessly. Even Dante looked puzzled.
Did something hit the ship?
Swoosh
"What the?" Naruto took astep back when he saw the water rushing into the room through a vent near the floor on the side of the room where the Divinity statue was.
Shit
It was then that realization struck them.
"The ship is sinking!"
