Before the showdown could begin Naruto suddenly turned around and walked up to Trish body confusing the others. Ignoring their questioning gazes, he gently picked her up bridal style. Dante and Mundus watched him as he turned around and walked towards a corner of the room.
"Thank you" Naruto whispered to Trish after placing her down on the ground before turning back. Dante nodded to him in appreciation at his action. However, mundus laughed and said. "Showing compassion to your enemy. How weak. Humans truly are pitiful creatures"
"To you it might be pitiful, but that's what makes humans Strong" Dante glared at the demon king.
"Then show me" Mundus demanded before shooting laser beams at them.
Swoosh
Naruto and Dante redirected the beams with ease. With their upgrades, the two of them now had little trouble dealing with the light beams.
Boom
The scattered light beams smashed into into the walls and pillars breaking them into pieces.
'Incredible' Naruto stared at the chakra cloak surrounding his body in shock.
Previously, he felt a great deal of danger from the light beam and knew that if he were to take a direct it from one, he would be incapacitated. But now not only could he block it, he could even redirect it.
'Is this the power of the eight tails chakra cloak? It's unbelievable.' Dante exclaimed in surprise. He had thought of immediately going to assist Naruto when he saw Mundus shot the laser beam. However, that proved to be unnecessary.
He has seen the power of Naruto's seven tailed cloak during their fight with vergil but the eight tailed cloak was on a different level entirely.
"It seems I have underestimated the power of your demon. Just what kind of demon are you housing child?" Mundus demanded.
He hadn't thought much of the child's demon at first. But after seeing him deflect his light beams he couldn't ignore it anymore.
There was no way a lower ranking demon could block his attack much less a middle ranked demon, so that means the demon inside naruto must be a higher class demon. Which begs the question. "How did you manage to get the protection of an high ranking demon?"
'An high ranking demon?' Naruto repeated in disbelief. He knew what an high ranking demon was. But even after Dante told him everything he needed to know about demons and the demon world, the best he could think of was the kyubi being a middle class demon.
'It seems that i have underestimated my tenant's power' Naruto sighed dejectedly.
"It doesn't matter either way, Mundus. It doesn't change the fact that we are going to take you down." Dante intervened. While he was curious as to how a high ranking demon was sealed in Naruto. They still have bigger fish to fry.
"Indeed. Your demon is more powerful than I thought. But that won't change your fate" Mundus declared before a gigantic red magic circle appeared above them.

Unfortunately before the two of them could do anything, mundus pointed at them and numerous fireballs descended on them from within the magic circle.
Naruto and dante immediately grabbed their weapons and got into action, moving faster than the eyes could follow slicing the flames into pieces. His eight tailed cloak also served as an automated self defense weapon, blocking whatever attack came too close.
Mundus continued to launch fireballs at them while adding lightning bolts to the mix, keeping them from closing the distance between them.
'What a cowered' Dante frowned when he saw mundus continue to keep his distance while hurling attacks at them. If that's how you want to play, then two can play that game.
Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory and fired barrage of bullet at mundus. However surprisingly the bullets came out in the form of large bolts of energy with runic symbols marked on them.

When mundus saw the runic symbols heading towards him, he ignored It, sensing no real danger in it and continued his attacks. But when the first bolt touched his body, his expression promptly changed. He immediately flew backwards to avoid the rest. However, some of them manage still managed to hit him before he could escape leaving cracks in his body.
"HOW DARE YOU?!" Mundus bellowed in rage. He had only hope to teach them a lesson and never intended to fight them seriously. But that last attack from dante had managed to damage him. That was unforgivable to him as the demon king.
"It seems the bullets were effective" Dante grinned when he saw mundus throw a tantrum after receiving his attack.
"Dante, what were those runic symbols?" Naruto asked. After taking a bit from dante, mundus had stopped attacking giving him time to breathe.
"I don't know. But play time is over now. Things are about to get serious" Dante said seriously. He knew that mundus had been toying with them previously.
After all, he was the king of the underworld. It would be a hit to his pride if he was to fight them seriously from the start. But after that stunt he pulled, mundus won't bother holding back anymore. It was now officially a battle of life and death.
Not long after he said that mundus let out a loud roar. A light spear appeared in his right hand and he pointed it at them and said.
"For your crimes against me. I'll make sure that not even your souls survive"
As soon as mundus finished speaking he flew at them like a bullet. Despite his size, his flight speed broke the sound barrier.
swoosh
Mundus appeared in front of them, the light sear already moving in an arc towards them. Space distorted wherever it passed.
Neither of them dared to take the attack head-on. Dante immediately performed air hike and moved out of the range of the spear. Naruto used his cloaked tails to pull himself out of the way.
The spear shattered the pillars in the room and dug a deep crevice in the ground. Kicking up a huge debris and dust cloud. Immediately the attack settled, naruto and dante charged out of the dust cloud. Naruto ran along the spears shaft while dante flew beside him. The two of them leaving afterimages in their wake.
Mundus seeing them unhurt and alive started shooting red beams at them. Naruto and dante moved with exceptional smiles dodging the beams like professional athletes.
The two of them darted across the room making it difficult for mundus to aim properly at them rendering him helpless against their attacks. They attacked him from different directions leaving scratches and cuts all over his body.
"You insignificant creatures" Mundus bellowed before thousands of tiny spears appeared all him and fired off in all directions.
"Shit" Naruto weaved through the barrage of light spears showing exceptional foot works. He countered the spears that he couldn't dodge with his tails but some spears still managed to break through his defense and pierce him.
"Naruto are you okay?" Dante asked when he saw the light spears sticking out of his body.
"I'm fine" Naruto said as he pulled the spear out of his body. Immediately he pulled out the last one the self healing kicked in, quickly healing the wound.
Dante nodded. He then looked behind naruto where Trish body laid. The area around her body was completely unmarred by the light spear.
'I thought you hated her. So what has changed?'
"Pitiful. You'd still protect her dead body, even after knowing that she is long gone." Mundus questioned. The more he tried to understand humans, the lesser he knew. Just what did sparda saw in this creatures, enough for him to revolt.
"I don't give a shit ass what you think." Naruto said as he stood back up to his feet. He pointed purgatory at mundus, then continued. "But that won't stop us from kicking your ass"
"Bold words for those who are about to die" Mundus laughed before flapping his wings. A strong gust of wind send filled the room sending debris flying all around.
"Let's go, Naruto"
"Hai"
