>>5629384You see the dusty, leather-bound tome in his left hand, his flesh and muscle of that hand gone leaving only a skeletal arm in his sleeve remaining. Death hangs menacingly around him, the younger man turning back towards the battling monsters overhead with malicious intent. But that's when you notice it, the ground around him is <span class="mu-i">moving</span>.
“Huh?” you mutter, turning your focus to the ground below Chilli. And that's when you see it: the ground isn't all ground, several spots are made of some pink substance. A familiar, terrifying pink substance. You feel your eyes widen, remembering from reading that old manga what's about to happen. If you don't do something, Chilli could get Absorbed! The Majin creature laying in wait springs up like a cresting wave right before the younger Saiyan can jump into the air. With his focus on the one who'd knocked him to the ground, he doesn't see what's about to happen! If he doesn't move, he could die! Or suffer a fate much, much worse.
“Cursed Crystal Prison!” you roar desperately, using all the MP you've got left to activate one of the most powerful spells that you'd learned from the friendly lich and shop keep back in Axel, Wiz. Your mana drains to empty, surging out from your hands as ice forms across the pink blob creature. Chilli, sensing your surge of magic turns, ready to retaliate only to see the wave-like appearance of the pink blob, freezing solid mere inches from his body.
“Oh shit!!” he shouts, you collapsing as your power runs out completely. Leaving you unable to so much as crawl, but you did it! You stopped that monster from absorbing Chilli. “Chaos Space!”
Once more he traps a being within his Chaos, the younger archwizard seeing you and no doubt sensing that your magic is drained, eyes widening in surprise as he realized that you saved him. But as he opens his mouth, maybe to thank you, suddenly there's another massive explosion!
<span class="mu-s">KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM</span>
Chilli's head whips around, but you're unable to move. A few seconds later you feel strong, manly hands lifting you up and off the ground, Darkness lifting you up and throwing one of your arms over her shoulders, helping you to stand without your magic while turning you both towards the fading, massive blast. And once the emerald light dims, you hear a faint voice bellowing.
“WHO ELSE?! WHO ELSE WANTS TO DIE?!!”
