The Death Bearer seemed to be casting some kind of attack spell.

The passageway up ahead led to a dead end. Part of the wall caved in, revealing a treasure box tucked away.
“I wonder what could be inside?”
The moment Alisa’s hand touched the lid, the treasure box exploded with a boom!
Alisa and her comrades were struck by the debris! (-1 CP, -2 HP)
“Stupid trap! And why do I even have you guys around if you can’t even help me avoid traps!?”
Alisa and party came to an L-shaped corridor.
“Okay, sure,” said Alisa.
Tyrone and the others looked uneasy. Alisa reassuringly winked at them.
It seemed that even the man himself was not expecting her to say okay so readily. The man was stumbling over his words and scratching at the scar on his face.
“—I-Is that so? Here, this is the weapon,” said the man, pulling out something from a large bag.
“It’s a Missile Launcher for Mammoth Hunting. It’s an antique, so you’d never find one in some Armor Shop. They’ve stopped production on this type of warhead, actually. It can only shoot once, but the power is outstanding. This thing can take out huge beasts like Mammoths and Dragons in only one hit.”
“But I thought it could only shoot once,” said Tyrone.
“Okay — so then don’t miss, then. That shouldn’t be a problem for you, right? Unless you think you can’t do it,” teased Alisa.
“O-of course I can!” stammered Tyrone.
“So, it’s settled then.” Alisa, smiled sweetly. (Erase the AMBER EYE from your Item list and write in MISSILE LAUNCHER.)
After parting ways with the man, Alisa and her comrades:
After giving his thanks for being saved, the Dezolian quickly found his exit.
“What the heck was that just now?”
“More importantly, he left us with some information,” said Lutz. Using telepathy, he managed to sneak a peek inside the Dezolian’s head. (-2 MP)
“The laerma berries he mentioned are a special fruit that come only from the Altiplano Plateau. Of course, it can be eaten as just a regular food, but when eaten by a musk cat, a special phenomena is said to occur.”
“Musk cat? Special phenomena?”
“I wasn’t able to gather more details…”
The group came upon a T-fork. From the south end, they could hear the sound of a muttering voice.
Aiming for Alisa and party, the Gold Drake expelled flames from its mouth!
Gold Drake: 47 + BP (1-H)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-C)
Tyrone’s ax grazed the snakes in Medusa’s hair before plunging itself deeply into the wall. Bleeding snakes wriggled around on the floor.
“Impudent boy! I’ll make it so you won’t be able to come back to life this time!” Medusa’s eyes bewitchingly sparkled.
Averting their eyes was futile. Medusa’s terrifying magical powers had ensnared everyone in Alisa’s party, turning them to stone! There was no one left to save them now…
END
A group of lanky, gangly monsters lie in wait for the group at the T-fork up ahead.
“They look like Dezolians,” said Alisa, referring to the native people of this planet.
“Noo. We are much better than any regular old Dezolians — weee are Dezolian Heads. We will exterminate you for going against Lord La Shiec. We will prove we are better than yoou!”
Dezolian Heads: 41 + BP (1-H)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-B)
In the sky, four mysterious shadows flew overhead. They were legless monsters that seemed as though they were being propped up — Executors!
Four Executors: 39 + BP (1-A)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-D)
