Carefully avoiding crushing your son in your arms or against your chest, you shield his tired form with your own body and your energy as the Abyssal demon Demongo tries to flee. But he doesn't cross half the distance between you and him before the conjured monster attacks, firing a torrent of water, wind, and electricity combined into a spiral. You watch, shielding your son as the blast consumes Demongo, blasting him apart. But it doesn't stop, the blast headed right for you as well. Gritting your teeth, you ready yourself to take the blast, hardening your Energy Body even further into your Unmovable Energy Body. And as you do, the titanic attack strikes you.
Immediately you feel it, the attack shredding your Energy Body all around you. But you hold firm, taking the strike straight against your right shoulder and arm instead of letting it get anywhere close to your son.
“GRRRRRR!” you seethe through clenched teeth, the magical attack scalding your flesh. The electricity courses through your body as the wind and water crashes against you, pushing you back despite your Unmovable Energy Body, the force behind the Guardian's attack forcing you right out of the circular room. However, as it does, the attack suddenly stops. Blood pours from the hundreds of cuts in your shoulder and arm onto the ground as you end your technique, rising up to your feet while still holding your son in your left hand. The creature doesn't react, simply standing there and staring at you both. Chilli then speaks, voice a bit shaky but clear.
“Your work is done. You may return to your rest.” Chilli tells the creature, it releasing a deep roar of three distinct voices. The rainbow light returns, engulfing the monster as well as the entire round gate room, glowing brighter and brighter until it is nearly blinding. But then it's over, no sign of the monster who guarded the gate remaining. Except for the damage its attack had done the ground from where you'd started to where you are now, leaving a nearly foot-deep trench at the deepest. “Phew. Thanks Dad.”
“Of course. But what in the hell was that thing?” you ask him as three distinctive powerlevels rapidly approach, you turning just in time to see Meloka, Leyas and Sarada appear from around the corner.
“KARN!” Meloka shouts, your wife seeing the damage you'd sustained and rushing over worriedly. “What happened?”
“Ask our son. He summoned, well. SOMETHING. And it obliterated Demongo with a single shot.” you tell her. “It did this to me through my strongest Energy Body after going through him.”
“Hot damn, what in the world did you bring out?” Sarada asks your boy. “And where did it go?”
