Magi: A Tale of a New Beginning

Scroll 39: Witch

"Azami."

"Don't you dare touch the people I love, Arba or else, it will be your head." She threatened. The said magician glared at her. Yunan opened his eyes to see the girl he loves glaring at the enemy.

"A-Azami."

"Don't speak right now. Although I'm grateful for what you did, that was stupid, you idiot." He just smiled at her efforts in scolding him. Soon, five more figures descended down the rift. The blue haired magi touched Arba's shoulder.

"Solomon?" She said but soon, frowned when she noticed that it was Aladdin. Azami stood up and carried the wounded magi to Morgiana.

"Please take care of him."

"Leave everything to us, Mister Yunan." Aladdin said. The said magi smiled and gave an apologetic smile to Azami. With a borg from Azami, they were protected.

"Aladdin, Morgiana, Hakuryuu, Setta and Lucien. So this is where you were and you're back." He whispered. Azami clutched her metal vessel before going to him. She healed his wounds with the help of Hakuryuu. Most were finally closed but there were some that needed stitching.

"This is bad. We need to disinfect these wounds soon." Azami mumbled to herself. Morgiana nodded. Setta stepped forward and raised his staff to erase the dye in his rukh. After that, Morgiana, Hakuryuu, Setta and Lucien faced Arba in a battle showdown. With a kick from Morgiana, the witch skidded down the rocks and muttered in an angry voice.

"You're such disobedient children." She was about to hit Morgiana but Setta sent her off tracks with his ice magic. To twist it off, he coated her legs with heavyweights.

"That should teach you a lesson. Hakuryuu-san, it's your turn."

"Thank you, Setta." He took his spear for a spar and slashed the witch. Arba dodged and Morgiana took this chance to attack. Suddenly, the black-haired magician spun and attacked both of them. Setta clicked his tongue and used gravity magic to put her in place.

"You're starting to annoy me, Arba."

"Oh? You don't think I'm not annoyed with your insolence? You gotta be joking with me, Setta. Taste this!" She used her staff to attack Setta. It hit his legs which bled. Then came another attack from her. She mercilessly injured his body but Morgiana and Hakuryuu got in the way.

"Tch. That really hurt."

"Are you alright, Setta?" Azami asked. He grinned at her which made her sigh in annoyance. With Stolas, she healed his injuries and returned to the battlefield.

"I'm the strongest swordsman of Alma Torran!" Arba proclaimed. Setta and Azami scoffed at that. Suddenly, her hands fell from her own.

"Huh?"

"Zaug Al-Adhra!" Hakuryuu used his djinn to cut off her hand but not without Setta deadweights. They were to make sure that the attack will cut her off guard.

"Why is my body decomposing?" She asked in confusion.

"An attack using the bacteria of the Dark Continent. So now he can manipulate the flora of Alma Torran! But..." Yunan looked back at Arba whose body was retracting back to its original form.

"Ta-da!" She showed her arms which didn't even look like they were cut off.

"Let's see about that." Lucien used his own power to attack the witch and send her far before receiving another one from Setta which was another ice magic.

"Thalg Al-Salos!"

"Thalg Salsa!" Two attacks in a row gave Hakuryuu the chance to decompose more of her body. Then Morgiana swiped off her feet and kicked her back. It was so fast that even Arba couldn't keep up.
