That staff! If only they could take away that staff, La Shiec would have no means of attacking.

While Tyrone and the others leapt in to rush La Shiec from the front to keep him preoccupied, Alisa quietly snuck towards the rear. Seizing her chance, she outstretched her hand.

—But, at that moment Alisa was sent flying! (-1 COMBAT P)

“Fools. Only those who have received a blessing from ‘Chaos’ are permitted to lay their hand upon this staff.”

“Hmph! No thanks, who would want a blessing like that?” said Alisa, clenching her swollen fist as she stood back up.

The Ice Men began to blow an even colder frost towards them. But the attack never reached Alisa and party – Lutz had created an invisible wall with “Muwarla” which deflected the icy blast 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 use Flaeli with skill. (-6 MAGIC P)

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.

Four Ice Men: 42 + BATTLE P (1-J)

Alisa & Party: COMBAT P + BATTLE P (2-G)

● Your P is higher than the enemy’s → 375
● Lower → 393

Alisa knocked the skull off the skeleton’s body.

“That’s one down! —What? Ahh!”

Not yet defeated, the headless Mad Stalker slashed Alisa’s arm! (-1 HP)

“What, are these guys immortal!?”

At that moment, Alisa’s sword slipped through her opponent’s ribcage by chance. Had it been a human, it would have pierced through the heart. Then, suddenly, the Mad Stalker crumbled and fell apart.

“Oh, I see! That’s its weak spot!”

Despite being a powerful enemy, it was only a skeleton. Now that they knew its weakness, it wasn’t such a formidable enemy after all. It took no time for Alisa and her comrades to wipe out all the Mad Stalkers.

After that, they came upon a corner. Which way?

● Go east → 294
● Go north → 228

The Death Bearer seemed to be reciting some kind of attack spell.

● Your Magic P is 7 or higher → 366
● 6 or lower → 337

The passageway up ahead led to a dead end. Part of the wall was caved in, revealing a treasure box tucked away.

“I wonder what could be inside?”

● Your Magic P is 3 or higher → 339
● 2 or lower → 361

The moment Alisa’s hand touched the lid, the treasure box exploded with a boom!

Alisa and party were struck by the debris! (-COMBAT P, -2 HP)

“What a horrible trap! And what kind of comrades fall for it too?!”

Alisa and party came to an L-shaped corridor.

● Go south → 412
● Go east → 402

“Okay, sure,” said Alisa.

Tyrone and the others looked uneasy. Alisa reassuringly winked at them.

It seemed that even the man himself was not expecting her to say okay so readily. The man was stumbling over his words and scratching at the scar on his face.

“—I-Is that so? Here, this is the weapon,” said the man, pulling out something from a large bag.

“It’s a Missile Launcher for Mammoth Hunting. It’s an antique, so you’d never find one in some Armor Shop. They’ve stopped production on this type of warhead, actually. It can only shoot once, but the power is outstanding. This thing can take out huge beasts like Mammoths and Dragons in only one hit.”

“But I thought it could only shoot once,” said Tyrone.

“So then don’t miss. Unless you’re saying that you’re not a sharp enough shooter, Tyrone,” suggested Alisa.

“O-of course not!”

“So it’s settled then,” concluded Alisa, smiling sweetly. (Erase the AMBER EYE from your Item list and write in MISSILE LAUNCHER.)

After parting ways with the man, Alisa and her comrades:

● Go to the Armor Shop → 251
● Exit Skure → 343

After giving his thanks for being saved, the Dezorian quickly found his exit.

“What the heck was that just now?”

“More importantly, he left us with some information,” said Lutz. Using Telepathy, he managed to sneak a peak inside the Dezorian’s head. (-2 MAGIC P)

“The Laerma Berries he mentioned are a special fruit that come only from the Altiplano Plateau. Of course, it can be eaten as just a regular food, but when eaten by a Musk Cat, a special phenomenon is said to occur.”

“Musk Cat? Special phenomenon?”

“I wasn’t able to gather further details…”

→ 287

The group came upon a T-fork. From the south end, they could hear the sound of a muttering voice.

● Go south → 266
● Go north → 277
● Go east → 244

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

Gold Drake: 47 + BATTLE P (1-H)

Alisa & Party: COMBAT P + BATTLE P (2-C)

● Your P is higher than the enemy’s → 404
● Lower → 388
