The jet was only large enough to blast Rias and Nana, and it was relatively swift. Because it came without warning, and after Rias was genuinely taken aback by Kintar's raw strength, the masked man didn't see it coming until it was barely a meter away.
But he would not be bested so easily. He knew what Kintar intended, and allowing her to succeed would be tantamount to losing more of his pride to her.
The masked man snatched Nana and cast her away from the range of the blast while shielding her with Undeath energy. The abstract jet of power struck him point-blank, causing a resounding whap! but he remained undamaged. The Eye of Backfire worked wonders. The jet of power might have smothered Rias, but it flooded towards its source - the Drakken.
Naturally, the creature was unharmed by its own attack (and Rias had guessed Kintar would be immune too).
But just then, Nana's powers increased by 48%!
