Chapter 27 Rukh Shards (2)
When Baal suddenly heard his old Master's words and proclamation of seemingly being proud of being the third prince of a relatively tiny kingdom. At least compared to the previous size of the territory that Solomon had ruled over back then on Alma Torran, the length of Alibaba's domain is laughable. Which was almost sixty percent of the whole world was directly under him. Leaving forty percent of the remaining land under the other races that wanted independence from Solomon's rule. Or these lands were also the unthinkable lands that even the most adaptable races of Alma Torran couldn't survive in.
And lastly, in this forty percent of the remaining area of Alma Torran, had resided the survivors of the Old rule's party, which Solomon's Resistance had managed to defeat. But due to them being on the losing side of the war, Solomon naturally had to bestow punishment on them even if some of them were just ordinary citizens. Who was coerced by the Orthodox Church to join the war?
And as a result, all of the Orthodox Church members were stripped of all of their valuable belongings, leaving them only the bare minimum of clothes and food to survive in this area. So after that, Baal just said to Solomon, now called Alibaba. " So Master, what can I do for you today, If you wanted me to join you once again like before, But I will have to disappoint you Master in that part. As unlike before, where we still had our physical bodies, and before us, your household members had sacrificed our bodies back then to become Djinns. In our existence, rules were placed on us once we partner up with someone, like me, who is partnered up with this kid. These rules seemed to have suddenly been placed in all of us of that day, without us knowing which caused these rules to be implemented."
"Even Ugo back then didn't know what caused this side effect to occur, but honestly, this isn't as bad as we thought after we experienced this for millions of years now. In the dungeons which this world seems to call the remnants of our old world Alma Torran is now. Since me and probably the other guys who also turned into a djinn is good with our situation since, before a king candidate that a mage sends into our dungeons, I don't know about the others. Still, for me, I mostly play around in the dungeon, sleeping and even sometimes live in my mindscape reminiscing our time in Alma Torran, with my family....."
" And so yeah with all this time we have and since it also recently that the dungeons had been popping up in this world again. We really didn't have anything to do, and we're most of the time bored, although not at the same time."
"But that's beside the point, the rules that seemed to bind us as djinns are that no matter what, in any metal vessels we posses into, it seems that even if we are stolen from our partners, we have chosen unless the metal vessels are outside of a 100 meters of the partner, the metal vessels will automatically teleport to our partner's hand, so unless a dumb Partner/King Candidates turn off our function to teleport, the metal vessels we reside in will never be stolen, and even if our metal vessels are stolen unless a person uses a special magic tool, our metal vessels and of course us sees that if other than our partners try to use our metal vessels, the person will not be able to activate us no matter what they do."
"Well, unless, of course, you Master who is an exception towards this rule since you, where our original master, you can even take me away from the kid anytime if you wanted to, and even use my full power as a djinn."
"And aside from that first rule, we also have other rules as djinns, which were, once a person who had been our partners die, us djinns who was residing in that person's metal vessel, immediately leave the metal vessel if our partner doesn't use us for five years at most. And after we leave those metal vessels, we will suddenly be teleported inside the past dungeon, where we originally originated from before we partnered up."
"The reason I know this master is that throughout the millions of years since the people from Alma Torran had been sent into this world, many generations of magi had summoned us for various reasons and many kings, who many of the other djinns had become the king candidates. However, through all those years, non had fully united this similar to your master back then."
"But Master, If I may request this, If you do plan to use my power, please let me stay with this kid for now. Even for a little while, as even though I only had spent a relatively short time with this kid until now, I consider him to be a perfect partner. And aside from that, I saw in this kid amazing potential almost approaching yours back then, Master, although not quite their also. So at this kid's current Djinn, at least for a while, please let me see this kid's journey and see if the magi's and mine's eyes are correct in seeing this kid's potential."
After hearing everything of what Baal had told him about the two rules that they had received when that had become djinns and his old friend Baal's request to stay with Sinbad, Alibaba saw him talented similar thoughts of Baal on his opinion on Sinbad.
Alibaba then said, "Well, since you have requested it very truthfully and you do seem to have attached yourself to Sinbad already despite the short of the time you to were together. I will accept your plan to guide him, but as your original master and friend, I can also request that you closely watch over this child, although it's extremely faint compared to the talent I see in that kid. A slight evil influence is tinted on his rukh, similar to that of 'state of depravity' tint we see from III Ilah, and I'm sure you didn't notice this did you, but I can't really blame you as The only reason I detected this from Sinbad is that I had gotten his memories when you opened your mindscape for me."
When Baal heard this, he was significantly surprised as he then replied to Alibaba." So it's that so huh Master, I can't believe of my incompetence not to notice this, but Master, although I say this kid still has potential to not go on the path of depravity since, now that I know this, I can guide this kid properly to not go on that path. And I will watch this child closely as you requested it, master."
When Alibaba said this, he chuckled a bit as he then said, "Well, alright then since your this resolved Baal I guess even if I tried you won't listen although you would probably listen if it were an order. Well, then the magoi in my body in the real world is about to run out now since my body in this reincarnation is still very young, and haven't managed to fully allow myself to use all of my inner magoi, even if I have a tremendous amount sealed inside of me, I can't use it yet. So for now, Baal, see you later.
And as Alibaba just said this, while his body in Baal's Mindscape slowly started disappearing, Baal suddenly threw something at Alibaba while saying. "Master, please take this Rukh Shard which I had been manifesting this last few years using the remnants of my body back then in Alma Torran., of my Whole Rukh, and using this shard once you, fuse this shard of my rukh with your current Rukh Master. Although It wouldn't even come close to my own power, I can bestow among someone if they have my metal vessel; this shard master will allow you to have access to all of my skills and even give your body a tiny bit of my Dragonoid bloodline even though my body had long been gone now and master pls..." And before Baal could finish his words, and Alibaba who suddenly had gotten a rukh shard which caused him a great surprise. Alibaba's Magoi was finally ran out and due to this, Alibaba's mental projection had finally disappeared in Baal's Mindspace
