Devero almost doesn't seem to care about the incoming mongeese, not with his Sanzo guarding his back. He's learned to trust Koumyou's effortless capability as they've traveled together through this artificial forest. He keeps his focus on tearing roots and breaking branches.

But as Kaiba passes the point he and Koumyou are holding, those icicles give Devero an idea. "Yo! Kaiba!" he calls in that deep voice he's got. He throws out a hand in an arc, a blast of water spraying out. "Think you can freeze this?"

(You can tell Devero's never had to fight in a melee like this one. As he focuses on Kaiba and his idea, he's not paying as much attention as he should to the rest of the field...)
