Magi: Lost in Time

Scroll 13: That Hope

"Then we're going to crush you!" Aladdin retorted as they attacked David. He was not fazed by the magi's threat. Instead, he activated the magic to return the world to the rukh. He became the new guardian of the Sacred Palace.

"Tch. It's not working!" Judal complained. Thais pushed her self to move and concentrated on forming her own attack. It hit his left hand. It did not grow back unlike what happened from Alibaba and Aladdin's attack. Hakuryuu and Alibaba saw this as a chance to distract him and have Thais strike him with her magic.

Akil and Thais panted as David's body was severed. Just when they thought he was done, his whole body lit up and most of the damages they had done were healed. She cursed under her breath. They were wasting time. It was now his turn to smirk. He pointed his finger at them and attacked Thais and Aladdin. He slammed his hands at both of them, but Aladdin used strength magic to redirect his attack.

"My belief will come true! I can see destiny!" He roared. Alibaba clicked his tongue. He thought of the reason why David continued to desire the want to get Solomon's Wisdom when he was already the guardian of the Sacred Palace. It did not make any sense.

"So this is my grandson and her descendant. However, both of you must die!" He was about to slam his hands on both of them when David's body suddenly split into two.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you harm her. Plus, I was sure I am the true Singularity!" Sinbad emerged from David's body. If they were to top every creepy thing that happened in their life, Thais was sure that this would rank first. Arba also stepped out of his shell. Ugo and Thais realized that there was something wrong with the palace. There were sudden changes in the hierarchy of gods. The black haired magician asked what Sinbad learned, and the latter only told him that he took precautions in case he came to stab his back.

"The Seven Djinns... I see how it is. Sinbad, Ugo, Thais and the others, there are no defects in them." Sinbad knew what he was talking about, but not why he had to return and show himself to them when he can just activate the magic that will make the rukh return to the Great Flow. It was unless he wanted them to be confined in the palace.

"Hold on. You're not really David, are you?" Arba asked. They tilted their head in confusion. It was until she told them that like her, maybe his real body resided somewhere. He was not actually physically with them.

"In other words, does this mean that our real enemy is outside the Sacred Palace?" Hakuryuu asked. Alibaba and Thais realized his words. David did not want them to interrupt with his plans by escaping the palace. Quickly, she turned to Aladdin and ordered him to get out using Solomon's Wisdom. She told him that she will hold him back.

"Go now! Akil, you have to go to. I will find a way to escape, okay? Mama just have some business to finish. Be good and protect those people. I love you." Before he could say a thing, he was already pulled away by Aladdin, and they were ready to exit the Sacred Palace. David did not want them to go, but Sinbad, Thais and Ugo were able to distract him.

"Oh hell no. Euyun Rukh!" Her rukh flared in the air as they turned blue to hold him down. The eye of the rukh appeared on her body as she used Marbas' djinn equip. It would have been a creepy sight, but it was one of the hidden power of Marbas. He was not just some water djinn. He was also a life djinn.

Aladdin and the others were able to escape the palace. However, the rukh outside was being drawn. There was an abnormal event taking place to the West. The activated magic must have started at that direction.

Arba, who was left on the site, watched them go. She knew that, as of right now, the world was being dyed black. The walls of their world were thinning. Alibaba and the others were not going to let them though. It took them 5 minutes to reach Heliophat. There were angelus erasing the country. Its citizens made no escape. Instead, they looked ecstatic. Alibaba and Aladdin told Hakuryuu, Judal and Akil that they will handle Heliophat. Akil volunteered to protect both Yrif and Shajaea. Judal went to Sindria while Hakuryuu dashed towards Kou.
