The group has returned back to the village of Gothic.
“Dr. Luveno, we wanted to meet with you because we would like to request you build a spaceship for us,” said Lutz, breaking the ice.
“Without being able to freely travel the three planets, we are unable to find La Shiec.”
“Very well. However, the cost of production will be 200 meseta. Are you able to pay?”
“Could this be Tyrone?”
Alisa looked closer at the stone statue, studying it. It’s said that Medusa’s eyes have magical powers. If you look into her glaring eyes, you’ll get turned into stone on the spot.
“Myau, let me see that medicine bottle.”
Alisa grabbed the small bottle from Myau’s neck. It contained a special potion called Alshline.
<Start pouring it on him from the top. You only have to use half.>
Splash! The surface of the stone statue began to undergo a sudden change. It started off being completely gray, then colors began showing through, and it began to take on a softer texture.
At least, the figure of the man began to show.
“Ahh! Myau, I think this medicine is working too well! His clothes are starting to melt off,” Alisa said, covering her face with her hand.
Nevertheless, the medicine’s effect would go on further. Now even his skin had become muddled and was melting off!
“T-Tyrone, he’s…!”
<You’re wrong, Alisa. That’s not Tyrone. It’s a Zombie! This was just one of Medusa’s traps!>
Zombie: 6 + BP (1-F)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-J)
The Manticore suddenly jumped at Alisa. She managed to dodge its sharp fangs. However, this monster has another weapon it can use.
In the blink of an eye, it whipped out its tail and slashed Alisa’s left arm! (-2 HP)
“Why, you!” Holding back the pain, she fiercely kept slicing at the Manticore. Her sword cut deeply into the beast’s stomach!
<Gehhh! Ow, ow, ow, I’m bleeding, I’m bleeding, I’m bleeding! Ngghh>
The Manticore was dead. (CP +1)
“Too bad he didn’t do something better before he died, what a waste of being able to talk. Stupid thing.”
Alisa headed for the black-haired Kuny Noone’s shop, all the while gripping her injured stomach.
The natives wearing blue clothes became aware of Alisa and her comrades. They pointed their guns at them and began to shoot.
However, the beams in their guns didn’t have a very powerful effect. Even if a beam hit bare skin, it was only enough to leave a slight burn. But it could still be dangerous if you get outnumbered by them.
By the time Alisa had managed to scatter all of the attackers away, it was already too late; the blue robed natives were all dead.
“Their weapons may not be much against us, but for these guys it’s life-or-death,” said Alisa with sadness.
“It’s a real shame that we weren’t able to save them…,” Tyrone said as he placed his hand on Alisa’s shoulder.
The group continued advancing around the large rocky cliff.
Suddenly, a chilly air swept the floor. It was so cold that you could see your breath as a white fog.
Myau let out a low whine. He sensed the enemy closing in on them.
Somewhere within the wintry haze, an azure blue colored snake lay coiled up. It was a large reptile, bigger than Alisa ― it was a Frost Serpent.
Frost Serpent: 17 + BP (1-J)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-A)
Alisa and the others tangled with the monsters. She and Myau ripped apart the Gold Lenses while Tyrone crushed the Skeleton with the swing of an ax.
“Phew, that was a good exercise,” quipped Alisa. (+1 CP, +50 MESETA)
“I hear you’re looking for Tyrone?” said a man who walked up to Alisa.
Alisa, who has been walking around hearing many things from people, met this man in the back of a tavern.
“Oh, are you… Mr. Tyrone?”
“No way. I’m no hero or anything like that. Tyrone isn’t here. He went out to go slay Medusa. It’s been about two days now.”
“Medusa…?”
“Ah, the terrifying monster that La Shiec brought back to life.” The man paused and looked at Alisa as if he were evaluating her.
“Hmm. Somehow, it seems like you and Tyrone had a common goal. You’re going after La Shiec, huh? If so, I can tell you something good.”
The man told her the location of a Tool Shop that secretly sells Road Passes.
“Alisa, is it an enemy!? We’re coming in!”
Tyrone and Myau burst into Alisa’s bedroom.
They saw the figure of the Nightmare and immediately lunged in to attack. However, the monster’s strength far surpassed their imagination.
Neither Tyrone’s ax nor Myau’s fangs could so much as leave a scratch on the Nightmare. The monster’s eyes had a sinister glow in them. At that moment, Tyrone cramped up and fell over. He was wrought with paralysis.
Without being able to put up much resistance, the Nightmare easily quelled them.
“Tyrone! Myau! – Ahh!”
A mysterious force grabbed Alisa and threw her to the floor. She thought to herself hazily, there’s no way to win against this monster…
Alisa talked to the residents in Parolit. “What, you’re going to Scion after this? You really shouldn’t. It’s extremely dangerous down at the coast, horrible monsters are said to appear,” said the chubby woman who Alisa walked up to chat with.
Yes, yes, everyone knows that. Alisa grumbled to herself. If she’s afraid of that, then what about La Shiec?
—At that instant, the sound of a scream could be heard. Alisa turned around and saw a man running by in a panic. He was being chased by the Robot Police! Is he a criminal, or…
“Ahh!” The moment Alisa stumbled, she fell down into the center of the Antlion’s nest.
“Alisa!” Tyrone reached out his hand. However, he didn’t make it in time! Suddenly, Alisa’s body was engulfed in the sand and she could no longer see. All that remained was for the Antlions to suck all the blood from her body…
