The battle between them was long and fierce because of Galliban's technology and Parunda's magic. Galliban had a anti magic shield so Parunda couldn't hit him directly with magic, but it also prevented Galliban from using any of his super weapons. The battle went on for days Galliban dodging and parunda attacking neither showing any wear.

As the crystal emploded send a wave of ice freezing everything in sight, inclueding Parunda. Galliban teleported back to his time without even a scratch. The world had been saved by Galliban just an ordinary human from the future.
