They came upon an L-shaped corner. Should they go around the corner, or go back?

Suddenly, a belt of flames came towards them from the front! Alisa and her comrades narrowly evaded it.
“Who is it?”
An ominous voice cried back at them. They could see a red flame flickering somewhere deep in the gloomy corridor. —Finally, the figure of a terrifying Green Dragon appeared ― two of them!
Two Green Dragons: 35 + BP (1-C)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-H)
Both the Leviathan and the Desert Leech kept popping in and out of the sand. The monsters’ unrelenting movements caused a huge cloud of sand to rise up, covering the battle field in darkness.
“Ah!” Alisa covered up her eyes as sand got in them.
The next moment, her body was violently knocked over. The Leviathan whipped her with its tail! If the sand wasn’t there to cushion her fall, she would likely have broken several bones. (-1 HP)
“Stupid worm!”
Tyrone put a stop to the Leviathan’s attempts to attack Alisa further. Myau and Lutz delivered the final blow. (+1 CP, +50 MESETA)
“Thank you. What happened to the purple one?” asked Alisa.
“Looks like it ran away.”
The moment Alisa opened the box, needles came flying out, cutting up her arms. (-1 CP)
“Ouch! What is that!” yelled Alisa. “—There’s some kind of weird machine in here.”
“Are you okay? Hmm ― that machine appears to be a Gas Cleaner. Let’s take it ― it may come in handy later.” (Obtain item GAS CLEANER)
“And now to finish you off!”
La Shiec’s body convulsed once more.
The next moment, an explosion occurred behind Alisa! La Shiec’s head rolled on the floor, mixed in with mechanical debris.
“What the…? What’s going on?” Alisa asked Tyrone, who was lying on his side holding his Laser Gun.
“I had managed to get a hit on his stomach with a laser right when he used instant teleportation. The missile probably triggered it. Either way, it doesn’t matter how ‘instant’ his teleportation was, it still couldn’t beat the speed of light.”
“Bwahahaha!” La Shiec’s rolling head began to erupt in laughter.
“I bet you were thinking you had avenged your brother. How naïve, Alisa! I am Lord La Shiec’s shadow commander! The real one could never be defeated by the likes of you fools! Nngahh—!”
Alisa’s sword sliced the head in half.
“Pfft, scumbag!”
The group left the hall and proceeded through the opposite corridor.
“What’s that weird smell? It’s like rotting meat or something.”
“Alisa, you too? On top of that, I hear footsteps coming…” said Tyrone.
“Does it sound like a walking corpse? A corpse dripping with black and red blood, bones visible, not to mention rotting meat. —It’s not impossible. In fact, look what’s coming around the corner right there. It’s a zombie type, so it’s going to be vicious. It’s a Butte,” said Lutz.
Alisa and Tyrone jumped in to attack upon seeing the monster. Lutz, on the other hand, remained placid. It seems that maybe psychics do have thicker nerves different than others…
Butte: 23 + BP (1-D)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-B)
They came upon an L-shaped corner. Should they go around the corner, or turn around…?
“Abion Tower is located on an islet about ten kilometers off of the cape to the west. You should use the spaceship Luveno’s built-in Hovercraft to get there.”
Doing as Dr. Luveno said, Alisa and party took off onboard the Hovercraft.
Effortlessly gliding along the ocean’s surface, they soon arrived at the islet. Indeed, it was a very small island. They were easily able to find the tower.
“Even Dr. Luveno has no data about what kind of monsters are in here, so we’ve gotta be careful.”
Tip-toeing, Alisa and party quietly snuck inside the tower. At the first crossroad:
The Wights held out their hands, gathering orbs of bluish white light. A surge of static electricity stood Alisa’s hair and Myau’s fur up on end.
“Ack! What is this…?”
The next moment, the sorcerers threw the electric orbs at them, causing Alisa and her comrades to go numb. (-1 HP)
“Lutz, show them what you’re made of!”
“There’s a lot of them, so it may be a bit troublesome, but I suppose I’ll try,” said Lutz, managing to maintain his cool demeanor even under pressure.
“But if this is all they’ve got, there’s no way they can kill me.”
The party went inside the undersea cave.
“This place is kinda damp and spooky, it feels like something could appear…”
Alisa’s words were correct. They could hear the faint buzzing sound of wings. Large insects that dwell in the darkness – it was the sound of Biter Flies!
Group of Biter Flies: 18 + BP (1-J)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-I)
