<Tandle!> The Death Bearer suddenly cast the most deadly of magic spells!
Terrifying bolts of lighting directly struck Alisa and her comrades! Their black and charred bodies rolled to the floor. ⸺Or so it would have seemed, however, the reality was quite the opposite.
It was really the Death Bearer’s body who rolled to the floor.
At the very last moment, Lutz was able to quickly cast Tandle before the enemy could.
At the L-shaped corridor, Alisa and her comrades:
Alisa’s sword split the monster right in two!
“These guys aren’t so tough!”
Suddenly an attack came from behind. Whoosh! The Execute’s long tail wrapped itself around Alisa’s neck. The sharp talon’s on the end of its tail stabbed into Alisa’s shoulder blade! It seems there was a bit of poison on the tips; her vision became blurred. (-1 CP, -1 HP)
“You bastard!” Tyrone grabbed the creature by its tail and slammed it against the wall. Myau and Lutz finished the job and wiped out the last two.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m okay, just a little bit wobbly. But more importantly — what if that sting leaves a scar??”
“You’re finished now! I’m going to make sure every bit of you is blown to pieces! Go join your brother in the other world!”
La Shiec launched another series of missiles! This time his attack made a direct hit.
And so, Alisa and her comrades did exactly as La Shiec instructed….
END
“Gotta bust this bad boy out already, eh?” said Tyrone as he hoisted the Missile Launcher up to his shoulder.
“But you only have one missile! There’s no way you’re going to take them all out like that. You need at least two or three of them,” said Alisa.
“Just watch!”
Tyrone fired the launcher! A missile came flying out with a plume of white of smoke following it like a streamer. The missile sailed through the air before finally striking the bluff of an icy cliff.
“What! You completely missed the mark. You are terrible at this!”
“… ya think so? Wait for it.”
Suddenly, the icy wall made a rumbling noise and began to shake and crumble! The blast from the missile set off an avalanche of snow from the top. Giant chunks of ice and snow came crashing down onto the valley floor below, burying every last Mammoth.
“Wooooow! Tyrone, you wiped them all out with just one shot! You’re Algol’s greatest genius!”
However, the avalanche also destroyed the tower along with the Mammoths….
“Sigh… I take it back. You’re Algol’s greatest screw-up,” huffed Alisa.
“Aw, come on…” replied Tyrone. (Lose the Missile Launcher)
“My goodness, Alisa! How you’ve changed!” said Suelo as she hugged Alisa.
Having made it back home to Palma, Alisa decided to stop by and visit her only family. As she introduced her friends to her aunt, Suelo did a curtsy and bowed her head deeply, wishing to show respect.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my Alisa, I’m sure she has put you all through a lot of trouble.”
“Not at all, we couldn’t do it without her. But anyway, how are things going around here?”
Aunt Suelo’s face fell. Taxes were now higher than ever, and anyone who objected to it got rounded up and killed by monsters. Somehow or other, this evil cult seemed to have the power to summon monsters from other worlds.
“That bastard La Shiec…We must put an end to his life as soon as possible!”
“You should rest here for tonight, at least. I have a spare room for you, Lutz, and Tyrone, too. At any rate, you must rest your body so you can fight, or even an easy battle will become unwinnable.”
Alisa and her comrades did as they were told. The moment she laid down, Alisa fell into a deep sleep. And then, she dreamt of her brother…. (+3 HP, +2 MP)
The moment she opened the lid, Alisa was sent flying! The treasure box was rigged with a bomb. It wasn’t very small, fortunately, so the injuries weren’t too terrible. (-3 HP, -1 CP)
“Ow, ow, ow, what kind horrible person puts a bomb in a treasure box!”
While still grumbling, Alisa and the rest returned to the passageway they came from.
“No, you’re the one who’s going to die, La Shiec!”
Alisa and her comrades came rushing in on La Shiec like a hurricane! Sword, ax, claw, and staff clashed against the king’s body.
“Hahaha, it’s useless. My body is protected by the demonic blessing of ‘Chaos’. Your feeble weapons have no effect on me!”
Sparks of light came flying from La Shiec’s staff. Alisa and the group desperately threw themselves out of the way to avoid the attack.
“He’s got to… he’s got to have a weakness somewhere…”
The Mad Stalkers engaged in an intense sword fight with Alisa!
The skeletons continued to fight, picking up their fallen arms and reattaching their skulls each time they got knocked off.
“What the hell! Ugh, I hate guys who never give up!”
By chance, Alisa’s sword plunged into the open rib cage of the skeleton, right where the heart would be. The Mad Stalker suddenly collapsed into a pile on the floor. It did not get back up.
“Oh! I get it. Guys, just aim for the left side of the chest!”
Now that their fatal weakness was exposed, the Mad Stalkers were done for. Alisa and her comrades eliminated the rest of them in no time. After that, where to go at the next fork in the road?
The group entered a large, spacious banquet hall. Standing there in the center was a mysterious man in blue.
“You must be that Alisa I’ve heard about. Good job on making it this far. Hahahaha…”
“La Shiec!?”
“Hahaha, so what if I am?
“Then I’ll kill you!”
La Shiec: 50 + BP (1-B)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-G)
