Wordlessly compelling you to continue. “I'm not ready. Until I've really trained with this, knowing my limits and how long I can maintain it, I'm not rushing headlong into a battle I may not be ready for. Give me a few weeks, if you can, to better understand this power. And then I'll take that body-snatching bastard down.”
“A wise answer, Karn. Very well. Even though your granddaughter is here, tying her timeline to your own, I can take... Certain measures, that will prevent much. I can give you one month, for a day.”
“One month for a day? What does that mean?” Marron asks, only to shrink under the Demon God's directed gaze at her question. “I-I-If you don't mind?”
“Of course. When I depart, I shall take your scroll. And with certain magics, I can slow the difference in time between your timeline and hers. Meaning, that one month here will be equal to a day there. Meaning you have one month, General Karn. One month to acclimate to this power, and be ready for war.”
“Thank you, Lord Mechikabura.” you say, giving him a proper Saiyan salute. To which he smirks a bit, tilting his head back in acknowledgement before turning his gaze to your granddaughter.
“You have one month as well. I pray you acquit yourself well, I shall be watching your progress with great interest.” he says to her, your granddaughter gulping nervously before he turns his attention to Towa. “Oh, and before I go.”
With this he raises his right hand to the sky, and for a split-second his demonic aura blazes around him. The pressure is immense, forcing you to brace yourself against it as both Towa and Marron are knocked off their feet. Then, just as soon as he'd powered up it vanishes, the Demon God sighing out.
“That should reinforce your magic, keeping it in place this long.” he replies to her, then turns back to you. “Train well, Karn. And be on guard, all may not be as it appears.”
