Suddenly, the Mammoth’s trunk extended towards Alisa and grabbed her. It began to crush her with incredible strength. (-2 HP, -1 CP) Next, the great beast made an attempt to stab Alisa with its tusks.
“Oh, no you don’t!”
In the next instant, Alisa pierced her sword into the Mammoth’s forehead!
“Buwaaaahhh!”
The Mammoth threw Alisa to the ground and began stampeding around wildly! Tyrone and the others were left in a scramble to avoid becoming trampled. The beast finally came to a stop when it crashed head first into the rear wall.
“Just like a train with broken brakes,” remarked Alisa. “Ow, ow, ow.” A hobbling Alisa got back up to her feet.
Alisa engaged in a fierce sword fight against the King Saber.
Even with the occasional equine kicks mixed into the swordplay, Alisa effortlessly evaded the centaur’s attacks.
“Damn it, this girl is a tough one,” said the King Saber as he pulled a beam gun out from his hip. However, Lutz quickly knocked the gun out of his hand.
“That’s rather unsporting of you, resorting to such tactics in battle against a young lady.”
“Fool, victory is the only thing that matters in battle! Grrrrrraaaar!” Alisa’s sword pierced through the King Saber’s chest plate armor.
“You’re right about that. But only if it’s my victory,” said Alisa.
Alisa and party continued down the corridor that the King Saber had been blocking.
The Dezolian Heads came shooting beam guns at them. It was a close quarters shoot out!
Alisa & party, unfazed by the beams, plunged right in! The enemy began to panic and their marksmanship was thrown off. With the swing of a sword, Alisa mowed down the Dezolian Heads!
“W-we s-surrenderrr! You guys are better than uus!”
“Ohoho! You can just call me Your Majesty the Queen! Just kidding….What? It’s called a joke!”
According to the Dezolian Head’s story, their friends were nearby here.
For now, Alisa and party approach the T-fork up ahead and:
Myau, Tyrone, Lutz and Alisa’s bodies were soon completely engulfed in blazing flames.
Alisa used every last ounce of her strength to try and cut her way through the fiery blaze, but she was soon overwhelmed by the inferno.
By the time the Flame Dragon’s attack had ended, their bodies had been completely incinerated. No traces of their bones remained. There was no chance they could ever be revived now, not even with the most powerful magic.
Black foggy mist poured out from inside the hatch. For a moment, the mist appeared to dance and swirl before finally materializing into the body of a great beast!
Its metallic blue body was a twisted fusion of flesh and machine. The lower portion of the body sat enshrouded within the black fog, unable to be seen.
From the depths of the fog appeared a towering, metallic blue beast. Every enemy that they’ve ever fought up til now seemed weak in comparison.
But more than anything, the feature that really grabbed Alisa’s attention was its face. This monster was identical to the nightmare creature she dreamed about that night at the Governor’s Mansion on Motavia!
Did Alisa’s latent esper abilities cause her to have that dream? And if that’s the case, then was her dream actually a premonition?
―No, that can’t be! There’s no way that could be true.
However, Alisa realized something. Compared to this monster, all the opponents she’d ever battled against up until now were nothing more than mere weaklings. Even the mighty La Shiec was nothing more than a puppet being controlled by a more sinister force. She knew this was the true enemy that needed to be defeated!
The red eyes of the monster suddenly moved around.
<My name is Dark Falz, known as the ‘Dark Lord of Chaos’! I shall have you all become my new servants.>
Sweltering heat and blood loss robbed the strength of Alisa and her comrades.
Alisa coughed violently as she inhaled smoke. At the same time, the Dragon Wise inhaled deeply before breathing out more powerful flames.
It was a battle enshrined in fire. The outcome of this fight was determined from the start. The intense blaze took the life from the fifteen year-old girl, Alisa.
“Hmm, what’s this…?” Alisa opened the lid of the treasure box.
“It’s Gas Cleaner ― let’s take it. It might come in handy later,” said Lutz, placing the small machine into the pocket of his robe. (Obtain item GAS CLEANER).
