Dante smirked, though in his demonic form it looked more like a devilish grin.
"Move!"
Dante flipped backwards just in time. A glowing red energy wave passed underneath his body. Time seemed to slow down as his body and the red slash stood parallel to each other.
Dante smirked as he recognize this technique. 'Not bad kid'
Nelo Angelo however wasn't so lucky. The overdrive slammed into his unprotected torso and send him flying into a wall kicking up a dust cloud.
Naruto smirked when he saw his attack connect. He had taken advantage of the time Dante used to hold back Nelo to launch an overdrive. He actually didn't expect the technique to hit but it managed to catch him off guard.
"Is it over?" Naruto stared into the dust cloud trying to see through it. To answer the question a colorful ball of fire flew out of the dust cloud and up into the sky before disappearing in a lightning stream.
"I guess it's over" Naruto sighed in relief as his chakra cloak receded. His gaze still lingering at the spot Nelo had disappeared.
Dante turned to him and gave him a light shove and said "You did good kid."
His form reverted back to normal.
"Thanks." Naruto displayed a proud smile when he heard Dante praising him.
Let's find our way out of here."
Once Nelo Angelo has been dealt with, they continued to climb up to the top level and walk to the alcove at the far end of the room: the platform above where Dante got the Chalice with another platform on the other side.
Dante did a long-jump right to the entrance, followed closely by Naruto. In here, is a statue of the torso of a knight with a helmet on. In front of it is a small platform with a small round circle in the middle. Dante place the Chalice in the circle that happens to fit then a loud clattering noise assaulted their ears coming from behind them.
"What was that?" Naruto asked as he looked around cautiously. Dante who was not a stranger to how demons worked could already guess what it was.
Dante turned to look back the way they came and said. "It came from back there. Let's check it out."
"So the chalice was a key and a trap at the same time." Naruto looked puzzled at this. Dante however nodded.
"Pretty much."
Dante walked through the door and Naruto followed behind him. when Naruto walked back out the door he was a little surprised as the huge area they had come from had now changed into a narrow underground tunnel with a few marionettes scattered around which they dealt with.
Pass these tunnel, the path opens out into a large cavern, dominated by a huge wrecked ship with three masts.
"Looks like a ghost ship." Naruto said as he observed the abandoned ship in the dork.
Dante nodded and added. "I think it would fetch a nice sum of money in a museum."
"Hey, Dante how should we climb on board. Only you can jump that high" Naruto asked since there was no board connecting the ship to the dork.
Dante shrugged and a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes as he followed behind Naruto. "Guess we will have to make our own entrance."
Naruto walked over to the edge to look at the water when he heard Dante's words. Make our own entrance."
" How?"
"LIKE THIS!" Before Naruto could react Dante kicked him in the butt with enough force to send him crashing into the side of the ship. The old wooden frame of the ship immediately broke apart when Naruto collided with it
"Hmm" Dante nodded, satisfied with his idea and quick thinking. He observed the hole like an artist in a gallery before jumping into the hole.
"DANTEEEEEEEEE!" An enraged shout cane out of the ship. Dante jumped into the ship through the hole and was quickly attacked by a series of furious attacks from an enraged and embarrassed Naruto.
"Hahaha" Dante laughed mischievously as he countered naruto's attack with Alastor. After a few exchanges Naruto was pushed back by Dante and was about to charge in again when Dante stopped him with a raised hand.
"We have company." Naruto glanced around and finally noticed the blade demons standing around. As much as wanted to continue the fight and teach Dante a lesson he knew that they had a job to do, so he chalk it up in his "List of embarrassing things to do to Dante to enact revenge".
Since the blades took away his opportunity to enact revenge on Dante he showed them no mercy. The fight could only be considered brutal, even Dante had to take a step back.

'Since when did the kid become so scary. I would apologize, but it's just not my style.'
He saw Naruto juggle a blade to death. It pained filled screech echoing around before it was split in two. One that wandered too close had it head blown off. It didn't take long for naruto to deal with the blades. He turned back to Dante to see him holding a large gun that looks like a machine gun.
