An enormous copper colored giant stood before Alisa and party. It was a monster that moved using magic ― a Vulcan. That muttering voice they heard earlier must have been him.
Vulcan: 24 + BP (1-A)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-G)

Crossing over the desert, Alisa and party arrived at the village of Casba.
“Ah, so from what we heard in Uzo, there should be a cave with monsters in it nearby. Should we try going to that cave first?”
“Wait ― what is that?”
Alisa noticed a plume of smoke rising up. To make matters worse, the plumes of smoke quickly multiplied.
“What’s going on? Is it a fire?”
“Th-this can’t be happening!” From the area covered with smoke, the villagers screamed without cessation. “It’s Dragon Wise! He’s come out of his cave! This hasn’t happened in over 10 years!”
“Did you say Dragon Wise!?” this time Tyrone was shouting.
Dragon Wise was famous among dragons for having the precious jewel “Amber Eye” inlaid on its forehead. It is also known for being one of the more aggressive breeds. It’s said that countless numbers of people have tried and failed to defeat the dragon with the notion of stealing its jewel.
“Is that it right there?”
Alisa and her comrades stood still before a house that was up in flames. An enormous figure floated up from within the flames! The Dragon Wise’s tremendous gaping mouth made it appear as though it were laughing wickedly at the villagers who were scrambling to run away.
The group heard a strange rattling sound coming from around the corner.
Before Alisa and her comrades stood a countless number of skeleton soldiers equipped with swords and shields. They were the strongest ranking skull soldiers ― a large group of Mad Stalkers!
Group of Mad Stalkers: 33 + BP (1-J)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-B)
“Is that so…. Well then, there’s no helping that. It’s not that I’m trying to torment you or anything, it’s just that the villagers need to eat….”
“It’s okay, we understand.” (Damn!)
Alisa and her comrades exited the village via the underground passageway that the village chief told them about. Thanks to that, they were able to get out safely outside of the gas cloud. They returned to the spaceship Luveno, which was still parked outside the village of Uzo.
Where should they go from here?
The group came to an L-shaped corner. A woman’s laughter could be heard, but they weren’t sure exactly where it was coming from.
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.
Tyrone pulled out his shield.
“Th-that shield, it’s….”
“What’s the matter? Go ahead, try to turn me into stone,” said Tyrone. “—That’s right, you can’t. The Shield of Perseus has the ability to absorb your magic power.” Tyrone pulled his ax out of the wall.
“You cheeky brat! Mad Stalkers, let’s tear them to pieces and put an end to this!”
Medusa & Gang of Mad Stalkers: 42 + BP (1-H)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-F)
While there was still distance between them, the dragons once again spit flames at Alisa and her comrades — this time simultaneously!
It was impossible to evade the flames in such a small passageway. The group ducked down for cover, but the flames licked their backs. (-3 HP)
Thanks to their armor, they were somehow okay, but at this rate they are going to be done for!
The group returned to the staircase. It seems that they may have overlooked the floor below…
