The former Nephilim studied the barrier for a moment before shaking her head. "I have never seen a barrier like this before, Buchou. It isn't Yōkai, Devil, Human or Fallen, and it certainly isn't a holy barrier of the Churches. I wouldn't even begin to guess how to go about unlocking it."
"I'll give it a go then." Rias said with a frown. She called upon her Power of Destruction and formed the Magic Circle of the Gremory before her, firing a strong blast of it at the barrier. One of the most feared and powerful magics in all of devilkind struck the barrier, struggled against it for a long moment and then fizzled out as if it were just a firework.
"What the...?!" This had never happened to her before. Sure, her magic was a pale shadow of what her mother and brother's, but it was less like the magic was negated or blocked and more like it had been...erased.
She was distracted by the monstrosity –Boneripper, the two in the other chamber had called it- roaring as it loped forward with deceptive slowness at the red-cloaked warrior. The boy (she was certain it was a male) stood in a relaxed stance, awaiting his enemy to come within striking distance.
With another roar, the monster swiped at the warrior with its remaining original upper limb at lightning speed, much faster than one would believe from a creature of such bulk. The warrior leapt back and lashed out with his swords, scoring a long pair of wounds down the appendage. What was odd was that only a small trickle of black liquid emerged from the wounds.
"I see." The warrior said in that flat and emotionless voice, "You didn't revive Boneripper; you reanimated it as a flesh puppet of sorts. A flesh golem would be the more appropriate term, I believe."
