Magi Volume 23 Omake Manga

This was supposed to be a reply to nomyriad about how Belial’s contract with his new master happened, but then I rambled. Ergo: Textwall under the readmore

aka why wasn't he already banned, since ugo knows he's fallen?

like really, very close

intimately close 

so close that you can feel your enemies breath on your neck

and you shiver with hatred and… anticipation? 

turn around and look deep into your enemies eyes, letting your gaze drag down to their lips, your eyes intense with desire. push your enemies up against the wall.

make out with your enemies.

Magi’s dungeons seem to be directly inspired from or based on existing ancient places which are World Heritage Sites today.

Here’s the few I could find something about:

Baal

Baal immediately struck me as very similar to many painter’s depictions of Babel tower. Dore’s, Bruegel’s and Valckenborch’s paintings of Babel tower are all very similar, and in turn inspired by the Minaret Malwiya of the Al-Mutawakkil Mosque in Samarra, Iraq.

Zepar

Zepar is, down to it’s smaller pillars at the base, a carbon copy of a mesoamerican Maya Pyramid in Tikal, Guatemala.

Crocell

Crocell is pretty easy to figure out, it looks like an Egyptian Pyramid, although I couldn’t really tell which one exactly.

However, I’m lost concerning the remaining Dungeons, even if I’m pretty sure they all look very familiar. Maybe some of you have any ideas?

Crocell: Menkaure’s Pyramid.

Valefor: Baalbek Temple.

Focalor: We couldn’t find a good one for this. It’s the type of dome used on mosques, definitely. Suggestions were Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Maybe a bit of the Royal Albert Hall.

Furfur: You pretty much got this, suggestions were the Vishnu statue in Garuda Wisnu Kencana or any one of the giant Buddha statues (such as the one at Lantan).

Vepar: Definitely a more gothic style, yeah, archivolts and tall windows. Later, a little more toward renaissance architecture. But has some crenelles too, so. Butron kinda matches, we weren’t able to find an exact match for it.

Zagan: I lived in Toronto for a short time so it always reminded me of this place. See this. Slovak Radio Building and some chinese examples.

And as you mentioned for Valefor, it's definitely Greecian or Roman, Baalbek has multiple structures to it (four as seen here: Jupiter, Bacchus, Venus, later Mercury), includes trilithons (think Stonehenge) and that's about it, but it is fairly generic and could be Samothrace or the Acropolis.
