Melding with the darkness itself? Neither Metatron nor Pixie could sense where he really was. Likely in a dimension of his own neither could access. Naoki was in the same boat. He formed a sword made of his ki, body glowing once again as he charged it, getting into a stance as if he was going to draw the blade from it's sheathe. May not have hit hard as his Gaea Rage, Deadly Fury was helpful in stunning foes thanks to its combination of speed and power.

He waited patiently for the hands to get closer and closer, the blade even getting bigger as he waited. Until just the last moment, Naoki lets out fierce yell, drawing the sword with astounding ferocity, trying to hit every hand all at once.

"Maybe don't announce your plan to said summoner? Just a word of advice."
