Alisa’s Adventure: Mini Chapter 316

“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.

“Okay — so then don’t miss, then. That shouldn’t be a problem for you, right? Unless you think you can’t do it,” teased Alisa.

“O-of course I can!” stammered Tyrone.

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

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

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

Alisa and her comrades were struck by the debris! (-1 COMBAT P, -2 HP)

“Stupid trap! And why do I even have you guys around if you can’t even help me avoid traps!?”

Alisa and party came to an L-shaped corridor.

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?

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 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.

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 attack 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.”

“Ungh! No, thank you! Who in their right mind would ever want a blessing like that?” said Alisa, clenching her swollen fist as she stood back up.

Alisa and her comrades came up behind the Mammoths and attacked. Comparing their power to the Mammoths, it was nearly impossible to win thanks to their long trunks and tusks.

They kept attacking and attacking, until finally the two monsters were taken care of. By the time they were defeated, Alisa looked so tired she might fall over, too. (+1 COMBAT P, -2 HP)

The group returned to the outskirts of Aukbal. Eventually, after wandering around in circles for awhile, they came across another tower. 

“This must be Corona Tower, I guess. Or not. Who knows, since half the townspeople are liars,” said Alisa, who apparently was talking to herself. 

Alisa’s Adventure: Mini Chapter 324

324

Alisa and her comrades, having defeated the Gold Drake, landed at the Air Castle.

This is what the Ice Man on Dezolis meant when they said the castle was “far above the hills.” 

The Air Castle was a pristine, white-walled flying fortress, constructed atop a massive floating island of bedrock which was suspended in the air. The castle was so beautiful, and so eerily silent, that it made all their previous battles seem like an illusion.

As Alisa walked inside the castle, she wondered, “Could La Shiec really be here…?”

“Of course, I’m right here,” said a man who was standing in the banquet hall. 

“Welcome to the Air Castle. I am La Shiec,” said the man with a low voice. 

Alisa’s Adventure: Mini Chapter 325

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, a colossal, metallic blue, humongous beast appeared. Every enemy ever they’ve fought up til now seemed weak in comparison.
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.

“What!?”
