The enraged half demon could only watch as Hell rained on those taking pleasure in Dante's suffering. His anger burned like the great conflagration around him, though he himself was still restrained. He normally kept his demonic instincts in check, but with with the rage continuing to swell and the destruction the others were bringing on the other demons, he continued to struggle and swipe at his enemies, his body crackling with power.

The chains holding him back are beginning to rattle and weaken. Though they were designed specifically for use against Dante, they're as vulnerable as regular chains towards everyone else. His own actions aren't enough, but Homura's and Yukiko's combined efforts are having their intended impacts. The demons are all fighting back, but the onslaught has taken them by surprise. It's not long before they're fighting back against the girls, a downpour of hurled blades and magic attempting to fend off the rescue.
