“I understand.” he replies, returning the nod then looking back to the weapon. He stares at it for another few seconds, then slightly shakes his head with a barely audible murmur, “Not yet.”
“GRRRROOOOOAAAAAAR!!” the lead dragon roars, closing the distance quickly.
“Here they come.” Broly shouts, grabbing his shield with both hands and bracing himself behind it. “Get ready!”
“Please stand back.” Chilli says, floating out between Broly and the approaching dragons. “I've got this.”
You and Broly exchange a look, but if he thinks he can handle them all on his own you're not going to stop him. Carefully Chilli passes off the sword to Broly, who gingerly holds the wide weapon as your firstborn son draws his staff once more. The crystalline scythe blade quickly reforms itself from the staff's head, your son staring down the approaching half dozen giant beasts.
“Dark Magic: Black Hole!” he shouts, thrusting his staff forward and creating a small point of infinite darkness in the middle of their formation. This catches all of the beasts by surprise, the intense gravity drawing them all towards the center. The two smaller ones at the back are unable to resist the tiny orb's pull, you watching in surprise as the gravity well draws the colossal beasts in. Their bodies can't withstand the pressure, which crushes and twists them down as their entire mass is somehow absorbed down into that small point. Before their bodies are even gone their ki both simultaneously vanish, your son killing them effortlessly. Then the lead, largest dragon's eyes flash, and with a bellowing roar Chilli's attack just ends. “Tch. Got two of you this time.”
“Wait, you didn't stop it?” you ask his back, Chilli shaking his head as he draws his staff back, preparing another spell. “I didn't know they could stop magic.”
“Means you an' I have a bigger advantage against them.” Broly says, clearly still wanting to help despite his brother's words.
“True. But this is <span class="mu-i">his</span> world.” you say, watching as Chilli once more goes on the attack.
“Dark Magic: Dark Slash!” he shouts, swinging his staff and firing off a Death Slash of pitch-black magical energy. Again the lead dragon roars, eyes flashing and again his magic just vanishes. If his magic keeps getting negated, he'll have to go on the offensive with his ki and might. But seeing the smirk on his face, you doubt he'll be going down that path.
