I'm still a bit disappointed how easily Judal could break Belial's will and enslave him to Hakuryuu. Sure Judal is a powerful Magi with access to Magometts knowledge, but Belial is a magical being who faced off against all of Al-Thamen back in Alma Torran and is several centuries old. At should have at least been hard and exhausting for Judal to do that, not just a short moment and bang it's over.

I'm also hoping that there'll be some kind of limit of how many people Hakuryuu can brainwash at a given time or some other weakness. If there isn't, he's just stupidly overpowered right now.

But I'm confident that the magaka won't let it ruin the story. I'm sure eventually Solomon's wisdom will break Belial out of the mind-control and restore his will.

Overall an interesting, albeit a bit worrying sub-arc. Hakuryuu is falling very far, very fast, which makes it more and more likely that he'll end up like princess Dunya (i.e. brought back to the "light side" of the rukh, but with a body damaged beyond repair and dead soon after).
