Goodreads Synopsis:

An epic dungeon-busting adventure inspired by One Thousand and One Nights!

Deep within the desert lie the mysterious Dungeons, vast stores of riches there for the taking by anyone lucky enough to find them and brave enough to venture into the depths from where few have ever returned. Plucky young adventurer Aladdin means to find the Dungeons and their riches, but Aladdin may be just as mysterious as the treasures he seeks.

Gyokuen, the current Empress of Kou, continues to drive much of the turmoil that has upset the balance of power among nations. Alibaba and Aladdin head for the Kou Empire to try to speak to Hakuryu, but their friend has become one of the Fallen, consumed by his thirst for revenge. What now will become of the Kou Empire and of the world?

Review:

We get the end of Hakuryu's battle with Gyokuen, and it's rough. As it ends, we see that Hakuryu has fallen too far to come back. Aladdin and Alibaba have a hard time accepting this, though. Alibaba taps into a new level of power as he takes on Hakuryu, determined not to let him do this. It's interesting to see Aladdin on par with Judar during this.

It's a little hard to follow some of the fighting here, especially once they undergo the transformations. And it's a lot of fighting in this volume. I have an idea what the outcome will be, but who knows.
