All of us stood above the surface of the lotus when we heard the doppelganger's voice echoing through the dungeon, " You guys aren't half bad! " He said enthusiastically, causing us to turn around and a lotus flower sprouting from the ground, revealing Zagan's doppelganger.

" Zagan! " Alibaba shouted, pointing his sword towards the doppelganger, " Release all of the villagers that you took immediately! " He demanded.

" I don't wanna! "

" What? "

" What are you going to do now? Defeat me? " The doppelganger questioned Alibaba, " Didn't you come here to ask me a favour? " He asked again and before Alibaba could respond to his unanswered questions.

Aladdin swung his staff, casting fireballs towards Zagan's doppelganger, but, the lotus flower easily deflected which shocked Aladdin as it didn't work on him.

" Oh? Or maybe you don't want my assistance then? " The doppelganger asked, folding his arms.

" Who are you? " Aladdin asked in anger, surprising both Zagan's doppelganger along with the others while I held an amused expression, " If you're a Djinn, you couldn't have gotten injured that easily, but, your body got burned after that attack! "

" You can't hide anymore, Zagan. Or do you not acknowledge what Aladdin said to you? " I questioned Zagan's doppelganger while I held a smug plastered on my face, " This is lame! " He grumbled bitterly, " All my hard work had gone to waste if it wasn't for you two Magis in here, " he told us that was lace with disappointment before he sighs heavily.

" Like what these two Magis said, I'm not a Djinn but, a creature that was created by Zagan to look like him. " He explained before a smirk creeps upon his face.

" You impostor! " Alibaba shouted while he glared at the doppelganger Zagan, " How dare you kidnap these villagers and do those terrible things?! "

" Oh my, such a foul mouth aren't you? " Zagan laughs lightheartedly, " It's was only a ' harmless prank ' you see. "

" A prank? "

I sighed as it was true that the way that Zagan had done towards the villagers were inhumane until I saw Alibaba draw out his sword and pointed it at the doppelganger in front of us, " If you're not Zagan, then I don't have to hold back anymore! Reverse the magic that you had set on the villagers now. " Alibaba demanded.

" Sorry to say that but, only the real Zagan can reverse it. " He informed us all, " To find him, you need to head to the treasure room. " He pointed in the opposite direction.

With that said, Alibaba was fueled with anger as he dashes towards the doppelganger and jumps on the air, slicing the doppelganger's head. Meanwhile, Morgiana, Aladdin and Hakuryuu were surprised how weak the doppelganger is but, that's only the beginning.

" Don't keep your hopes up guys, remember that Zagan is the Djinn of Earth and with Alibaba's cut, the doppelganger wouldn't be easy to defeat. " I pointed out as we watched the doppelganger's head reattached to his body before more clones of himself and to my horror, all of them surrounded Alibaba.

" Be careful, Alibaba! "

He quickly reacted as he manages to avoid getting attack before the other half of the Zagan's doppelgangers started to attack us. I clicked my tongue as I swung my lantern staff towards the doppelganger as the wind blades sliced some of them in half before I glanced over to Morgiana.

" Morg! Get Alibaba while I get Hakuryuu! "

" Understood! "

With that said, we ran separately, " Turibinat Alriyah! " I chanted as the wind piled below my feet, allowing me to float on air as I flew towards Hakuryuu," Jahim Aleumud! " I chanted another spell as the flames burnt through the vines, catching him on the spot and so did Morgiana.

[ Third Person View ]

" Morg! (Y/n)-san! We need to retreat for now, " Aladdin stated, " Right! " Both Morgiana and (Y/n) responded, and before they could do that, all of the copies of Zagan knew what they were planning to retreat.

" We're not letting you escape! " The clones declared while giving out their psychotic laughter which echoes through the dungeon before a trap door appeared beneath (Y/n) and her group, letting them fall.

' Damn it, Zagan! ' (Y/n) cursed while she held on the unconscious Hakuryuu before she took a glance over her shoulder and stared at the deep hole, ' Can you sense something end of this trap, Ugo? ' She telepathically asked.

' At the end of the hole, there's the creature's form. You have to be careful (Y/n). '

' I will. '

" Morg! (Y/n)-san! Get everyone get on my turban! " Aladdin shouted.

" As if I could let you do it! " The vines that were stick on the wall came to life as it shot towards Aladdin's turban, piercing it into smaller pieces, leaving them helpless on their current situation.

As they continue to fall through the hole, Morgiana desperately tried to reach out for her friends including (Y/n). Morgiana bit her lips as she had vow herself that she'll help (Y/n) with any situation as repayment for saving her from slavery, ' If I don't do something, everyone will die! '

She recalled all the moment with her friends who supported her along the way and had been kind towards her, ' I can't reach them or reach the walls! ' Her tears prickled before an image of the smiling Magi came into her mind.

Just an instant, a spark of light ignited inside of Morgiana, causing her shackles responded by that very few words. The chains launched itself onto the wall before shooting itself towards (Y/n) and the other three males. As it warps itself around their waist, preventing them from falling even deeper into the hole.

" These chains, " Aladdin muttered with a surprised expression while Morgiana focused on carrying them up to the surface. Until all of them met the eyes of Zagan's doppelganger, he was shocked about their survival.

" That's impossible. How is that possible? " He mumbled.

" Please wait here, " Morgiana stated as the chains loosen itself, " Morg, don't tell me you're going do it. " (Y/n) asked with a worried tone when she felt uneasy about the female Fanalis was about to do.

Morgiana took her last glance at the Magi and gave her a sad smile, telling (Y/n) that she was going to do it, making (Y/n) widened her eyes, " I'm going down there and defeat his form. "

With that said, Morgiana dives into the hole while the Magi saw the colour of violet and apricot rukhs that surrounded Morgiana, ' She's afraid and yet, she willing to help others. ' She thought but, she can't help worry about Morgiana's well-being since her body hasn't adapted her newfound powers.

After waiting for an hour, the doppelgangers were engulfed with flames while (Y/n) desperately waited and waited for Morgiana to come back up.

"

" (Y/n)-san. "

" Stay here with them, Aladdin. I'm going to get Morg out of there. "

With that said, the Magi dives through the hole, " Rishat Alsuqut! " She cast as her body glowed with pure white as she was falling slowly until her heart sank. From where she was, (Y/n) saw Morgiana's limp and unmoving body.

" Morg! "

As her feet touched the floor, she quickly ran towards her body, cradling on her arms, " M-Morg, open your eyes, please! " (Y/n) pleaded, staring at the female Fanalis when she caught a glimpse of white rukhs fluttering around her. The rukhs flew towards (Y/n) and whispered something through her ear, causing her to bite her bottom lip.

" You idiot, " she mumbled, placing her forehead onto Morgiana, " 'Am Niemat Al'ard. " (Y/n) whispered when a magic circle appeared on their forehead, replenishing Morgiana's magoi before it faded. Later, (Y/n) wiped away the blood from Morgiana's face before proceeding to carry her and jumped out from the hole.

As I was carrying Morgiana on my back while we continued to push forward inside Zagan's dungeon. Until we stumbled upon the entrance, " Who's going to push open the door? " I asked them as I watched them discuss with each other before they finally decide who's going fo do it.

" Alibaba and I will be doing it. "

" Alright but, be careful since we don't know what's going to happen next. "

Both Alibaba and Aladdin replied with a nod as they pushed the double-door, only to be greeted by a surprise attack, " Aladdin! " The sai boy activated his borg, blocking the attack as the serpent made out of rocks, I gave out a relieved sigh before I shot a glare towards the familiar silhouette.

" That wasn't a pleasant greeting, Ithnan. "

" Always sharp, O'Ruler and we have been expecting you, Magi and King Alibaba. "

Soon, Aladdin lowered down his borg when two unfamiliar people who stood beside him and I noticed something was off about the two people standing next to him, making me raise an eyebrow when I saw black rukhs hovering around them.

' That girl has already fallen into depravity, ' Ugo pointed out as he continued, ' And the other one is a puppet made out from black rukhs. '

I hummed in response as I lightly tap my lantern staff on the floor, causing the small door from the lantern to open, revealing Kemono standing beside me, " I need you to carry Morg and find a place to hide her alright? "

Kemono purred in response as I placed Morgiana on his back before I turned my attention towards the Imperial Prince, " Hakuryuu? "

" What is it, (Y/n)-dono? "

" Follow Kemono and keep Morg safe, " I told him.

" Bu- "

" Hakuryuu, please just go with them. " I gave him a sad smile, not noticing that Hakuryuu bit his bottom while he gripped his spear before he runs off with Kemono who had Morg on his back. Leaving me, Aladdin and Alibaba to fend off Ithnan and the other two.

I sighed as I peered my attention towards Ithnan, " Care to explain why you're here, Ithnan? " I folded my arms while glaring at him, " I know that you're not here for Zagan but, you're after something isn't it? " I demanded, ignoring the stares from the two boys while Ithnan gave out a loud laugh as he stared at my direction, having the feeling that he was smirking.

" Zagan is only a bonus for us but what we want is, " He trailed off, pointing at Aladdin and Alibaba, " I here for the both of them including you O'Ruler. "

" You possessed great power within you, " he stated as he continued, " Al-Thamen wants that power of yours to fulfil their mission. " He lifted his arms to the monochrome sky as if he was worshipping to an Almighty God.

" Yes! We shall offer your lives to our Father! "

The black rukhs surrounded them, scattered away before Ithnan motioned his hand, commanding the same serpent to attack me. I quickly activate my borg as the serpent forcingly pushed the borg onto the ground.

" (Y/n)-san!/(Y/n)! "

' It's going to be difficult for me to pull him out in that kind of state but, I can't give up too early! '

I looked up, noticing that serpent stopped attacking me as I float out, landing a few meters away from the Ithnan while glaring at them.

Ithnan clasps his hands together, " Well done, O'Ruler. " He praised before I noticed the two acquaintances jump in front of us, " Pleasure to meet you. I am Dunya Musta'sim, Princess of the country of Musta'sim, " she smiled while she did a curtsy before introducing the puppet next to her, " This man is my knight, Isaac. Pleased to make your acquaintance. "

" Wait, did you say Musta'sim? " Alibaba asked with a surprised tone.

" Oh my, do you know of it? " The princess asked.

" It was a relatively large country in the west, wasn't it? " Alibaba stated as he continued while he keeps his guard up, " But, I heard that it fell to Magnostadt about ten years ago. "

" May I ask a question, Alibaba? " The princess asked him back as I carefully took a step back, making sure to protect Alibaba and Aladdin from any surprise attack, " Why are you alive? " She bluntly asked him, catching Alibaba off guard.

" How could a prince who has allowed his country to overrun and betrayed possibly live with himself? "

This trigger Alibaba as I glanced over my shoulder and saw him gritted his teeth while garnet red rukhs were fluttering around him, " Balbadd hasn't destroyed! It's become a republic and is surviving just fine! " He shouted.

" In name only, it is essentially a country controlled by Kou, correct? " Princess Dunya questioned again. In result, Alibaba was taken aback by her question as he gritted his teeth.

"...That's..."

" The fact that you are still alive is some kind of a mistake. "

{ #Memory Fragment }

It was during the evening when Lady (Y/n) was having a stroll through the empty corridor as she was unable to fall asleep since she still has things that she needs to complete. When she was alerted, hearing the soft sound of sobbing echoing through the corridor which made Lady (Y/n) raised an eyebrow.

' Why is Solomon still awake at this hour? ' She thought as she quietly walks towards Solomon's bedroom.

As she knocks on Solomon's door, she heard his sobbing stopped, " Are you okay in there, Solomon? " She worriedly asked him, however, she didn't hear any response from him.

" I'm coming in, Solomon. "

​​​​​​​When Lady (Y/n) push the door open, she had her eyes widen when she saw Solomon's room was a mess. She looks around his room until she found a silhouette sitting at the corner of his bedroom.

" Solomon? " She whispered out his name as she slowly approached him and knelt in front of him, " What happened here? Did something happen while I was away, Solomon? " Lady (Y/n) questioned him with a soft tone when she heard him muffled something.

" Could you please say it clearly, Solomon? "

" The kids, " Solomon mumbled, " T-They said that I was a mistake, " he looked up at stared at Lady (Y/n) with teary eyes, " D-Do you think I was a mistake mom? " He said shakily, making the Ruler heartbroken before pulling Solomon into her embraces.

The Magi's whole body trembled she found out about Solomon's was teased by the kids who were the same age as him. However, she shook it off when she noticed some of the rukhs flew towards her and whispered something through her ear, making her blood boil.

" FORGET ABOUT THE INCIDENT THAT HAD HAPPENED IN BALBADD, ALIBABA! THE PERSON WHO IS DEAR TO YOU ISN'T THEM! "

With that said, Alibaba snapped out from his deep thought before replying with a nod as he focused on the enemy. That was when Princess Dunya gave out a loud screeching roar, witnessing that she had already completed her transformation into a Black Djinn.

Meanwhile, Alibaba can't help to tremble when the Black Djinn reminded him of Cassim even though (Y/n) told him to forget about the incident before screaming in agony. Princess Dunya, on the other hand, absorbed the sand that was laying on the concrete floor and started to form around her wrist.

" Witness the power of the dark metal vessel, Al-Kaus! " Ithnan announced as he continued to explained about Princess Dunya's abilities, " Dunya can control magnetism, moving sand and mineral matter at will. "

Once Ithnan was done explaining, the sand that Princess Dunya had collected around her wrist turned into sharp nails before it extended itself into tendrils and target towards at Alibaba.

" Dire Alaf Muluk Alhimayat Walhikma! " (Y/n) chanted when vines shot out from the ground, making a shield with another layer when several large transparent hands covered around the vine shield, blocking the incoming attack.

" Like what (Y/n)-san said, that isn't your friend, Alibaba! " Aladdin reminded the boy with blonde hair as he continued, " You need to snap out of it! "

" Yeah, I'm sorry Aladdin, (Y/n). "

" Good, " (Y/n) smirks as she did a slashed motion, causing the shield that she made to explode, pushing the Black Djinn backwards, " Aladdin! Alibaba! Attack now! "

" Right! " The two boys sync.

" Halharl Rasas! " Aladdin chanted, making several fireballs to appear, shooting the fireballs towards Princess Dunya. However, she managed to destroy it by extending her claws while Alibaba tried to strike Princess Dunya when her knight, Isaac had to intervene. He draws out his sabre before countering Alibaba's attack.

Judar held an amused expression when he saw that Sinbad and the Eight Generals had a betrayal expression when Judar told them a bit of information about (Y/n), ' Just looked at their faces! It's just priceless to see that (Y/n) hadn't told them about herself. ' He thought, twirling his wand before Ja'far lunged towards Judar, giving him a gash on his cheek.

The Black Magi caught off guard about what had just happened before he uses some kind of force to push Ja'far backwards.

" Seems like someone hit the ceiling? " Judar smirks, wiping away the blood off from his cheek with his thumb as he wasn't a tab bit happy

On the contrary, Ja'far sends a glare towards the Black Magi, " I would appreciate that you shouldn't get close to (Y/n). " He warned Judar, making the said Black Magi laugh, " Hahaha! Don't get your hopes up, I'll take her back no matter what happens to me. " He smirked at the ex-assassin.

" You, " Ja'far gritted his teeth when Sinbad placed his hand on his shoulder, causing Ja'far to snap out from his rages and turned his around, seeing Sinbad shook his head.

Ja'far bit his bottom lip, retreating his coils back to its original place and before he took a step back, he shot one last glare towards the cocky Black Magi. Ja'far quickly turned his head away and joined the others who looked worried that was showing in their eyes.
