"Rasengan!"
"Rasengan!"
With nearly identical shouts, two figures descended from the sky and blasted away a giant rhinoceros and a massive hound.
Large Summoning Beasts!
Their destructive power was too great. They had to be dealt with first.
In a one-on-one fight, Large Summoning Beasts were not particularly useful.
