But there wasn't time to think about things like that now. Not when the first few minutes were what often won or lost a duel.
It looked like this particular map was a forested area, lots of cover and places to hide. Fortunately he had a solution for that.
The summoner held up his right arm and let the prana flow through him.
"Across the spans of time and space I call your name, Ifurita!"
A blue pillar of light flared into existence before him and then scattered into countless motes
of light as the beautiful summons with her long angel blue hair smiled back at him.
"I will always come to your aid, Master."
Of course to make things fair the circle only brought the players, forcing them to expend their own prana to call their summons to the battlefield.
In this way, those who had large number of summons had to expend prana to bring each one over and doing so gave their opponent valuable time
that they could use to their advantage. And of course there was always the odd sub-dimension that had limitations as to how many summons each player
could bring in.
"I'm going to release your limiters, Ifurita. I don't trust that idiot to not do something stupid."
"Of course, Master."
The kiss was short but intense. Sparks literally flew around the battle gynoid as Saotome's saliva
in her mouth deactivated chemical locks inside of her systems. When they stepped apart, Ifurita's
eyes were literally glowing with power.
"Limiters released. Full Combat Potential Available."
The pigtailed young man gave her a grin and a thumbs up.
"Okay then! Time for an Eagle-eye with a little Death from Above!"
"Understood, Master."
Ranma nodded as she went airborne, with her up there to control the sky he would have little to fear from that direction.
And as a bonus she'd have a broader field of vision, even if it was hampered by all of the hardwoods and conifers here.
Also, in Ifurita's case, "Death from Above" was not a figure of speech.
Well then now he needed someone who could move around in this mess.
"Thy heart's oath is given and redeemed, Rider!"
A second pillar of light formed and shattered.
The seductive Heroic spirit was in full battle costume, her iron-nail chain weapon clutched eagerly in one hand.
"I am yours to command, Master Ranma."
In the distance a woman started laughing.
"OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!! FREEZE ARROW! FREEZE ARROW!!"
Both Rider and her Summoner tilted their heads slightly as they listened to the tinkling of azure ice spells
being fired up into the sky at a small figure high above the trees. The frozen bolts of prana energy dissipated
harmlessly against a glowing green barrier that formed around the flying target of the attack.
The counter attack sounded like a lightning bolt being chewed through a particle accelerator
and turned a good sized chunk of the forest into a smoking crater a quarter mile wide.
"Looks like Ifurita has made first contact."
Ranma considered, one more Summon should do it.
Then all that was left was to find Jinnai and kick the shit out of him.
