Chapter 154 - Gathering 2

___________________________

The same place and time, several Djinns could be seen talking together while looking at the Shadow figure in front of them.

"So this is the reason why the others followed and accept you as their King." Baal seriously said as he keep on looking at the Shadow Solomon knowing that it wasn't the same Solomon that they knew.

"Even with that, you still didn't answer my question." Zepar said though he was surprised to see an a difference kind of Solomon, he still wanted to hear how John used his magic.

"Ooohh, about that, because I just could. I could learn anything once I saw it with my own eyes." John replied truthfully as there wasn't any other explanation because it was one of his traits.

"I never heard someone as boastful as you but you're quite interesting." Zepar said though he didn't still believe him fully but it doesn't change the fact that he was interesting.

"Enough for that, I didn't get you for some conversation like this. Let's proceed to why you're here with me. I ask you, while you were with Sinbad, have ever sense that someone other that Sinbad was living inside him?" John asked even though he wasn't that sure and only spouting his guesses but he still hoping for an affirmation.

"What do you mean by that?" Baal asked curiously while looking at John since he was the very first Djinn that Sinbad had.

"Ohhh, you really don't know." John said seeing them clueless about Sinbad but that's to be expected since this question wasn't directed at him but on Zepar and the other Djinn with them.

"David, does it ring a bell?" John followed which made them frowned immediately after hearing such name for a while now.

"How do you know that name, my King." Vassago asked after remembering a lot of sad memories in the past just by hearing such name.

It wasn't just him as the other newly added Djinns also felt the same recalling on what happened at Alma Torran while gritting their teeth.

John looked at them especially to the former Metal Vessels of Sinbad thinking what would their reactions would be if they knew the truth.

"David was living inside Sinbad." John said as Sinbad really was an interesting character of the story.

"W-What!!!?" Crocelle couldn't believe what John just said as it was really hard to tell if he was telling the truth.

"H-How was that possible, David has been already killed a long time ago. Are you joking with us, human." Baal furiously said thinking John was toying them telling them that David was still alive which is very impossible.

On the other hand, Vassago just stay quiet and observed thinking about his words while looking at Barbatos and the others who doesn't have such reaction.

"Hahahaha, do I look like I'm joking with you?" John laughed seeing them not taking his words seriously before he looked at Zepar.

"Zepar, what do you think?" John asked as he was sure that maybe Zepar might have knew something since he is a Djinn especializing in Sound Magic.

Zepar looked at John seriously pondering about the words that he said while the others were looking at him.

"Zepar, do you want to say something?" Fornues asked as John told them a while back that he would give them evidence about such claim.

"As a Djinn of sound, every time Sinbad used my power, I really could hear a faint voice coming from within him but I couldn't tell who it was or what he was saying." Zepar replied while remembering when it started but he just didn't bother with it but hearing John's words he couldn't erase such possibility.

"Assuming you're right, but how the hell did it happen?" Zepar asked looking at John as if he knew how it happened than them who survived that battle a long time ago.

"Destiny How Ironic. Hahahah" John only spouted one word yet the Djinns couldn't help but feel surprised upon hearing it.

"But even with that, it was still hard to believe it." Baal said thinking how many had died that day just to kill David yet hearing that he's alive making him felt really mad.

"Focalor, do you want to say something?" John asked while looking at Focalor who was now behaving properly as he knew that he must also have some knowledge about it.

Hearing John, the other Djinns then redirected their attention to Focalor wanting to know what he was about to say about this matter.

"Ahem. Some time ago, I don't know if this is related but Sinbad use my power combined with impure energy of the black Rukhs." Focalor replied seriously while remembering it some time ago.

Baal and the others couldn't erase the possibility now that John wasn't lying to them but they could not still believe him 100% if they can't see it in their own eyes.

"Now, what would you do if David really was inside Sinbad?" John asked as he knew that his words wouldn't that reliable as it still lacks physical evidence.

Hearing John's question, Baal and the others lowered their heads, though they weren't that sure but the possibility was there after hearing Zepar and Focalor statements.

"We should kill him now." Surprisingly, it was Zepar who answered with seriousness after deciding that it was more to move first than to regret it later.

"Ooohhh." John looked at Zepar with a smile seeing him not doubting his decision even though Sinbad is their former contractor but knowing how Sinbad got Zepar, John think that they weren't that close to each other.

"Why?" John still asked wanting to know the reason behind such suggestion.

Zepar looked at John then remembered Sinbad. He really wasn't that close to Sinbad since he wasn't his original contractor and now thinking that David, one of their greatest enemy might be living inside him, he could only think to kill him to avoid any other unnecessary sacrifices in the future.

"Either way, killing David is a must but it doesn't mean we need to kill Sinbad too." John said as he already had a plan on how to kill David without killing Sinbad as it was also his mission to do so.

"H-How?" Zepar asked seeing John might have already planned it all from the beginning seeing him so confident with his words.

"Belial." John said remembering his unique power of separating the soul from the body which he knew that it must be possible.

"Belial, huh." Alloces pondered before remembering Belial and his unique powers.

"It might be possible but the premise is that your claim must be true first." Baal seriously said thinking that it was possible since what they just need was to send David's soul somewhere and kill him. However, as the first Djinn of Sinbad and one of the longest Djinn beside him, he couldn't help but got angry a little about it.

"But you still didn't have him yet." Vinea said which Valefor also nodded thinking that they must need to get Belial first before executing the plan.

"There's no need to find him as someone will get it for me." John smiled thinking about a certain duo who would do the job for him later.

Seeing John smiling, Barbatos, Vassago, and the others then suddenly found themselves agreeing with him.

"You're really are interesting. Okay then, I will let you use my power but I won't treat you as my King until we found out the truth." Crocelle said seeing that John wasn't that bad to serve as a King seeing Alocces and the other but he still wanted to know the truth before else.

Hearing Crocelle, the other Djinns of Sinbad then also approved of John leaving Zepar who was seriously looking at him.

"Aside from these problems, I'm much more interested about yourself. Well, I'll allow you to also use my power." Zepar said thinking who and what really is John in front of them as he could feel something different about him.

Hearing such words, John couldn't help but smiled while not bothering to tell them that he could use without their consent since they were already part of him. Shortly after that, the Djinns then started talking to each other wanting to find out the place they were transported in.

"Fufufu, you're quite scary earlier, my King." Paimon immediately head over towards John after everything were settled.

"Paimon, what are you doing?" Vepar asked with her brows knitting seeing how Paimon got so close to John.

"Ooohh, what is it, Vepar?" Paimon looked at Vepar who suddenly interrupted her time with John.

"Tsk." Vepar shows displeasure before heading towards Leraje and Vinea.

Seeing Vepar left, Paimon then lie beside John before looking at the surprised and shocked women on his side.

"J-John, what are those?" Toto couldn't help but asked with wide eyes seeing several blue giants suddenly appeared from his weapon and started talking about a topic they were clueless of what it is.

It wasn't just her as Hera and the others also had such reactions seeing them also having different appearance with each other aside from having the same color on their skin.

Yamraiha, on one other hand, was also also surprised seeing such thing but she was surprise of knowing that these newly Djinns were all from Sinbad which only one meant one thing, John must defeated Sinbad and stole his Metal Vessels.

Queen Mira, on the other hand, was surprised seeing several Djinns other than Paimon and hers.

"John, how could you materialize them despite not being a magi?" Queen Mira asked as this was the most thing that was bugging her as she herself couldn't do it.

"Hmmm, it's hard to explain but it's all about this weapon." John simply answered as it was really his weapon that allowed him to do so.

Right after that, they then just stayed there talking while John let the others roamed in this world for a while gaining the curiosity of the people below the tower.

"By the way, my King. I couldn't feel the Rukh's anymore yet I could feel something different. What is this power?" Vassago suddenly asked something that the other seven Djinn also wanted to know which made them put into a stopped as they looked at John.

"After being a part of me, your power also changed to that of mine." John replied before explaining the things for them to know. 0

Minutes of explaining, the Djinns then understood that they were now not using the Rukh anymore but was borrowing the power from John. They didn't know if it was good or not but one thing for sure is that they all felt that their power were endless for some reason.

"Mana, huh." Zepar murmured after knowing that they were relying in what John call mana instead of Magoi.

Kou Empire,

Two person could be seen together inside a room while their faces were showing such great seriousness.

"It's already been several months yet Kouha and Hakuei still haven't return or even send some message back to the empire." Ren Kouen said while frowning as he looked at the documents on the table.

"Lord Kouen, where's Lord Koumei?" Kougyoku asked while nervously looking at Ren Kouen seeing him not in the mood but she also felt guilty for some reason as she hs been called back for an important mission.

"Koumei was out for a mission." Ren Kouen replied while also thinking about their expedition this time but he was expecting good news since it was him to had gone this time.

Right after that, Ren Kouen and Kougyuko then just hold a meeting with just the two of them about an important information.

Artemyra Garden Tower,

It was now only John, Queen Mira and the rest who was left behind as the Djinns bid their farewell as they wanted to head back to Infinity World.

On the other hand, John could be seen looking at the Radiance that he got from the weekly sign in.

"Devour it." John said as he decided to let Infinity devour the sword.

"You really had such unique weapon, John." Queen Mira looked at John's weapon devouring the sacred and beautiful sword in front of her.

Shortly after that, John then just put it back inside his inventory before he embraced Queen Mira as he looked at the horizon.

'The stage has been set. Let's just wait for the right time.' John thought as there's nothing important events that wohld occur other than the descending of Ill Ilah.

Queen Mira just looked at John before leaning on his chest and also looked at the horizon seeing how peaceful it was. Just like that, John then spent hisntime together with her lovers.
