Crocell's Dungeon
Azami's POV
The man in front of me was Sinbad but behind him was Crocell. I shivered at the creepy smile he was wearing. Today, Sinbad told me that we will play a game and I have no idea what game we were about to play. He was my size unlike the others but something sinister was within him.
"What game do you mean, Sinbad?"
"A question and answer game with a little bit of twist." He replied with a grin. Furcas glared at him but Sinbad assured him that the twist will be fun. Yeah right, fun. I had enough of that word so I materialized my staff and attacked him. He dodged it so easily though.
"Woah there! No need to be so harsh on me, Azami. No rush, no rush~" That ticked me more. I jumped back to my original position and he equipped with Crocell.
"Dwell within me, Crocell." He changed and he was golden in color now. No kidding. He was wearing golden chains, golden fur around his neck, animal like features and slightly golden skin.
'What's with gold!? Does this show Sinbad's wealth and shit?' Furcas thought out a little loud. Loud enough for me to hear.
"Hmm. What do you think of triumph and failure?"
"What?"
Zepar's Dungeon
Aladdin and Alibaba
Arba, Aladdin and Alibaba had finally entered the third dungeon who housed Zepar. But before they entered the same structure, Arba let out a surprised gasp to see that the second dungeon was conquered so easily. By Hakuryuu and Judar at that.
"Anyways, welcome to the third dungeon! The Djinn of Spirit and Puppetry, Zepar!" A bright light blinded them and in front of them stood two figures. A male and female figure. Alibaba saw Sinbad and a female one with pink hair and blue eyes.
"Sinbad? And who's that?"
"Welcome! Zepar is the dungeon that Sinbad challenged when he was 17. At that time, I was trying to find a country of my own. I bought some islands from Parthevia and I was about to start a country. She is the princess of Parthevia, Celendine!" The said princess smiled at them. Celendine held Sinbad's arms in glee as the purple haired conqueror introduced her as the original owner of Zepar.
"What do you mean?" Alibaba asked.
"I sacrificed her life by assimilating with her rukh just like what you did with Cassim back in Balbadd. With that, I was able to get Zepar's power!" He declared. Alibaba was unable to utter any word as he was astonished with everything that he said. Together, Sinbad and Celendine djinn equipped.
"Djinn Equip! I ask you, in this world, should I live by my own will!? Or be guided by the will of others!? We were acknowledged by Zepar, the Sjinnpf Spirit and Puppetry!"
The two transformed to what looked the same as Zepar's appearance. A small body, large tummy, doe eyes that held mischief, horns that adorned their heads and untamed tails. Aladdin and Alibaba were surprised to see somebody being able to do dual djinn equip.
"Hahaha! Don't be so surprised! Azami was able to do the same but in a different manner! Didn't you know that she can use two djinns at the same time? Furcas and Sitri are really strong together. Putting that aside! Let me hear your answers!" They gritted their teeth in intimidation.
Crocell's Dungeon
Azami and Sinbad
Azami awaited for his game. He dropped to the floor and changed the scenery of the dungeon. It was now a puzzle game where they would have to race towards the finish line which was a huge gong.
"So what are the rules?" She asked. Sinbad turned to her and grinned. He said that it was very simple and all hey have to do is answer three question. The problem is for each question, they are only allotted one minute to answer.
"The questions are simple. Sinbad and Crocell would just like to know the people you have encountered yet in your life." He said. Azami nodded. Furcas, on the other hand, returned to his vessel to watch over the game. It was not his to play anyway. With a snap of Crocell's fingers, obstacles were made. Some were simple while the others were a little complicated.
"The first question is who is Alibaba's djinn?" Azami and Sinbad both answered Amon before racing towards the first obstacle. It was a huge bell they have to ring three times with a huge hammer. Azami grabbed the heavy hammer before slamming it down the bell. Sinbad, on the other hand, easily slammed it down and proceeded to the next obstacle which was to battle two statues with gems on their back. When Sinbad went near it, the statue moved and thrashed around. He had a hard time breaking the gems.
"Last one!" Azami slammed it down before racing towards the same obstacle of statues. She analyzed the situation before calling out Furcas. Since there was no rule about not using her djinn, she used his Zalam.
"Aim for that gem!"
'Sure thing.'
Furcas was able to hit it while it was thrashing around. She did the same to the other one before rushing to the next obstacle. It was another set of statues but this time, it release some kind of heat magic like a spear. The pink haired conqueror tested it out by going near it and it almost pierced her feet when it released a heat magic.
"Shit! Uh-oh. This is bad. Maybe we have to destroy those gems once more. Zalam!"
It hit the gems and the statues all stopped. Sinbad on the other hand, had enough and destroyed everything in one go. He did the same to the next obstacle Azami just finished. They were now in par with each other. Crocell was slightly amused by this and asked the next question.
"What is the name of Azami's little brother in this world?"
"Setta!" The door opened and they were faced with another challenge. This time, they have to fight some goblins and small dragons. Sinbad was the first to finish as he raced down towards the next question. He was able to answer it and soon went forward, leaving the poor pink haired dungeon alone.
"Damnit. We have to finish this soon. I have to conserve magoi so I just have to use weapon equip. Dwell in me, Furcas!"
'Let's get this done and dusted.' He grinned. Azami positioned herself and raised her sword.
"Furcas Aikhtaraq!" Darkness pierced through the hearts of the monsters before they dropped down dead. Azami grinned before running towards the next question which was "Who is the Queen of Artemyra?" She answered it correctly. Speeding up to reach him, she used Furcas' magic.
"Alright! Whew. Thank goodness I caught up to him."
'Yeah. But we still have two more questions to answer and the final one is near.' Furcas reminded his Queen.
"You're right."
The last two questions were "Who is the lightning teacher of Aladdin?" and "Who is the Princess of Yrif?" Azami and Sinbad were able to answer the first question correctly but they were both stunned at the last question. It was something they were not so sure about. Sure, they have heard of the kingdom but not the rulers.
"Hey! What is that question!? We don't know that! Don't be so harsh on me, Crocell." Sinbad whined. Azami almost did but stopped and listened to the djinn.
