A Golem stood waiting for them at the end of the hall. It was a monster covered in muscle and brown hair. It was the strongest of all the Talos types!

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.
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.>
“What!?”

The Ice Men began to blow an even colder frost towards them. But the attack never reached Alisa and her comrades ― Lutz had created an invisible wall with Muwarla that deflected it back towards the enemy.
“Right back at you!”
This time, fireballs came flying out of Alisa and Lutz’s hands! Alisa, too, is now able to use Flaeli with skill. (-6 MP)
The fireballs soon melted and hollowed out the Ice Men’s giant bodies.
However, they were still undefeated ― nothing less could be expected from the formidable Corona Tower.

Aiming for Alisa and party, the Gold Drake expelled flames from its mouth!

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)

In the sky, four mysterious shadows flew overhead. They were legless monsters that seemed as though they were being propped up — Executors!

“Oh, no, a dead end,” said Alisa. “—But that’s weird. The wall looks hairy.”
“That’s no wall! That’s a monster!”
What stood in their way was a humongous Mammoth!

A large silhouette blocked their path.
“Another monster!?” exclaimed Tyrone, readying his ax. Lutz lifted his hand to stop Tyrone.
“You’re certainly with some interesting fellows, eh?” said the silhouette, which turned out to be a rather small elderly man.
“It’s been awhile, Master Tajim,” said Lutz. “—We just encountered some monster remains at the entrance.”
“Nowadays, all the monsters that have been coming here are weaklings. More importantly, Lutz, I’ve heard you’re out to defeat La Shiec. I’d like to see just how much you’ve improved. Show me what you’ve got!”
“Wait a minute! You’re saying that teacher and student must fight each other!?” said Alisa, stepping in between Lutz and Tajim.
“Young lady, get out of the way. It’s not my fault if you end up hurt.”
“Alisa, he’s right,” said Lutz. “—Master, don’t blame me if you end up breaking a hip.”
“So your mouth is the only thing you’ve been training, eh, Lutz?”
“We’ll see about that.”
Lutz swung his staff downward! The tip grazed over Tajim’s head, cracking a hole in the wall behind him!
“Oho, you’ve gotten good,” said Tajim, grinning broadly as he moved out of the way. Blood began to gush out of the hole that Lutz opened!
“What’s going on!?”
The next moment, a blue-armored monster came out as if slipping through the wall. The blood was flowing out of a hole in its chest.
Lutz and Tajim had realized the monster was there from the very beginning.
“This guy is different than the other weaklings that have come before him. La Shiec invited a monster from ‘Chaos’, huh….”
<Mwahaha…> laughed the monster eerily. <The people in this world are pretty skilled, too. It’s not unreasonable for La Shiec to have invited me. —My name is Dark Marauder, Chaos Sorcerer! As for this wound you gave me, I will return the favor a thousand times!>
