*'''Chung:''' ''So we're back in this never-ending labyrinth.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Mmhm, so many things happened, and we haven't even been here that long.''

*'''Chung:''' ''Yes, we learned about the Dark Elves and Nephilim Lord... And found some clues about the Dark El.''

*'''Raven:''' ''It was expected that this realm would change forms, but this atmosphere...''

*'''Ara:''' ''Are we... Perceived as a threat?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''But this place was sealed for a long time. Maybe they finally noticed our presence and decided we're not welcome here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''It doesn't matter. We still need to go back to Elrianode, and this is our only way.''

*'''Ara:''' ''It's so dangerous... Do you think Master Ventus made it out alright?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''He is one of the masters guarding the El. I'm sure he and the Fire Master arrived safely in Elrianode.''

*'''Rose:''' ''But it didn't seem like the Fire Master knew about the Red Demon King, other than the fact that the Red Demon King is the Master of the Crimson Eye.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Lu, do you think the Red Demon King had enough power to subdue the Fire Master in his prime?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Everyone focus! There are more monsters coming this way!''

*'''Add:''' ''Damn it! Where are they all coming from? We can't even approach it!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Let's hurry. We're almost there!''

*''Keee- Grrrrrr-!''

*''Gurgle... Gurgle..."

----

*'''Ciel:''' ''! Even though we're under water...!''

*'''Raven:''' ''Amazing. Thank you, Aisha.''

*'''Ara:''' ''It's also easier to move. Your magic is truly amazing!''

*'''Add:''' ''Not that I needed help with my Dynamo.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Nom nom... Salty...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Oh my, looks like this girl was sucked into the dimensional rift with us. I guess it's better than being stuck with the monsters by herself...''

*'''Ara:''' ''... We have a guest.''

*''Keee-! Krrrr-!''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Hm? It's not cute... But it's very familiar.''

*'''Add:''' ''Of course. This... looks like the whales we saw in that realm.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Don't tell me that the monsters there were actually mutated forms of these monsters here?''

*'''Add:''' ''Why are you surprised? We knew that place was dangerous.''

*'''Ain:''' ''Yes, but now that conceptualized idea is more concrete.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Hm, wouldn't it be better to push ourselves and make it to the surface than vanture the unknown in the deep-sea?''

*'''Eve:''' ''Elsword, even as we speak, Aisha is using a spell that allows us to breathe, manage our temperature, and withstand the water pressure. We were fighting non-stop since entering Henir's Realm. It's true we must eventually head towards the surface, but we need rest.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... No, Eve's right. Sorry about that, Aisha.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''For now, we'll head there and get rest. We shouldn't push forward without rest like this.''

*'''Chung:''' ''Then for now, we'll need to defeat these monsters first. Let's hurry!''

*'''Raven:''' ''Yes. The fact that this girl was present when the masters opened the seal must mean they trust her.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Can't eat any more...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''We'll discuss further after we move to a safer location.''

*'''Chung:''' ''I see something between the rocks over there! Do you think, it revealed itself from the impact when we defeated the whale monster?''

*'''Chung:''' ''I think it's a good idea to check on the tunnels. Since there's no sign of life, we shouldn't come across any enemies, right?''

*'''Raven:''' ''There's some merit to investigating. If we're lucky, we can figure out where we are.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Alright then, let's follow this rail. Then we can just follow this back.''

}}

*'''Ciel:''' ''Wait... Bellonde? Who is Bellonde?''

*'''Laby:''' ''Bellonde? Bellonde gave Laby a name!! Laby heard Bellonde slept for a very very long time. He told Laby that he has to be in Elrianode!''

*'''Laby:''' ''Well, everyone in Elrianode called Bellonde, Gaia!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''The Earth Master Gaia! Of course! Just like Master Denif said, all the masters from outside the barrier are gathering in Elrianode!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Ahaha... Well, I'm just glad that they've arrived safely.''

*'''Raven:''' ''So now there are four El Masters in Elrianode.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Anyway, where's this? Laby promised Master Denif to bring the El Search Party to Elrianode...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Um, well... No need to panic, but we're in the Demon Realm. We were caught in the dimensional rift and ended up here.''

*'''Ara:''' ''Mm... When I tasted it, it was neither salty nor bitter, but sweet.''

*'''Lu:''' ''What are you talking about. I know what I'm tasting, and this is definitely bitter!''

*'''Add:''' ''Strange. Looks like the gas is confusing the neural system to make everyone think they're tasting something different.''

*'''Eve:''' ''You are correct. According to the component analysis, it's a by-product of burning something... But it's essentially toxic gas.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Do you think they're demons?''

*'''Eve:''' ''I still sense no life forms. There's not even a surge in energy level. But perhaps this is...?''

*'''Eve:''' ''I think it's better to see for ourselves. It may have unique properties like the pink gas, so please be careful.''

}}

*'''Raven:''' ''Yes. The way they behaved were closer to that of a security system destroying any intruders.''

*'''Chung:''' ''Does this mean something really important is at the end of this tunnel?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Let's keep going. I think there's some important things to be discovered.''

}}

*'''Eve:''' ''There was a space behind this door when I scanned...''

*'''Eve:''' ''But it was connected to the Sea.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Maybe it was abandoned after moving something in the past. But then why would someone continue to repair this place?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Maybe there's a reason to guard this tunnel? Or maybe it was used for another reason in the past... Hm?''

*'''Eve:''' ''It's a different model from the other machines, but it looks like it shares the same command.''

*'''Chung:''' ''And that command would be something like, destroy the intruders... Right?''

*'''Ara:''' ''I can't deal with anything with more than four legs...''

}}

*'''Ara:''' ''I agree. Thos long legs will climb the... Ughhhh...''

*'''Ain:''' ''Haha, now shall w check what's beyond this point?''

*'''Eve:''' ''Wait, Aisha. I sense a new life form.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''... Who?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''I don't know. Even if we do arrive at Varnimyr, there's no guarantee that this won't happen again.''

*'''Ara:''' ''But we have no other option. It's not like we can open a portal like the demons.''

*'''Winster:''' ''... Why are you all looking at me so strangely?''

*'''Winster:''' ''I'm sorry, we do not know much about what happened at the surface since we've been sent down here... Did somebody develop a technology that connects between our realm and Elrios already?''

*'''Add:''' ''... Useless.''

*'''Chung:''' ''There's a village here that he wish to protect, right? I don't think he'll do anything to risk it.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''I agree. He's not in a position to take risks. And if something happens, well...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''So, we're decided?''

*'''Add:''' ''Tsk, fine... Let's see where you take us.''

*'''Lu:''' ''Maximum... Are you mocking me?!''

*'''Winster:''' ''We can't land by the village at this rate. After we pass through the current, I will attempt an emergency landing.''

*'''Winster:''' ''There's a layer of air beneath the current here. It's why we've built the village underneath the sea current.''

*'''Raven:''' ''Unless this submarine is also an aircraft, won't we crash?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Do not worry. I've made sure to reinforce the surface multiple times in case this happens.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Wait, is it ok to just let them flee?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Of course it's troublesome. It's not an easy device to produce. We might have to drag this submarine all the way to the village if we do not have the energy core.''

*'''Winster:''' ''... I have one more request. The reason why they've taken the energy core is merely because it's in their nature to do so. They do not intend harm in anyways. Would it be possible... Not to harm any of the creatures?''

*'''Lu:''' ''......''

|tab1=Main

|contents1=

*'''Chung:''' ''Looks like a lot of the trash here flowed here because of the current. I still can't wrap my head arund the air layer existing underneath the sea current...''

*'''Elesis:''' ''So we need to somehow find the creature that stole the energy core here, right? I can't help thinking that we're being duped.''

*'''Ara:''' ''And they're intertwined so tightly, we might lose our way if we get swept up by one.''

*'''Eve:''' ''......''

*'''Eve:''' ''Ah, yes... No. It seems the waves are distorted within the air layer. It won't be easy searching.''

*'''Lu:''' ''Wait, I sense someone.''

*'''???:''' ''Where is it hidden? Why is this happening now!''

*'''Ciel:''' ''If you dont' believe us, you can ask him yourself. We speak only the truth.''

*'''???:''' ''... An invitation? Energy core... Then the crash earlier must have been father's submarine... And the creatures here probably took the energy core.''

*'''???:''' ''Well, you know my father's name, and you smell like oil and sea water. Alright then, where's father?''

*'''Raven:''' ''He is at the crash site with the submarine. He said he will try to communicate with the village.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Garen... Are they the other race that was in conflict with you?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Yeah. Garen have sharper fangs and claws, and superior strength. There's no Nous that can win against a Garen on a 1 on 1 fight.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Mrrrr... Laby too...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''So, have you ever met a Garen before?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Uhh... Sort of? I've met a Garen, but she wasn't an enemy. I was born after we've settled in Rigomor. There's still those who've experienced the war, but that's already like, several centuries ago.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''That's longer than I thought.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... Hm. So that's what father believes.''

*'''Ara:''' ''What is this ruler like? We didn't even hear the name.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''I'm hurt. What did I do to deserve all this suspicion? I haven't done anything bad yet.''

*'''Trosh:''' ''Screee-!''

*'''Trosh:''' ''Scree! Screeeee!''

*'''Ara:''' ''A, Aisha?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''I told you they'd be troublesome. Fighting really isn't my forte, so I'll leave it to you guys.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''He doesn't seem like a bad guy...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''That doesn't sound too reassuring. Is there something wrong with this portal?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Yes, in a sense that we've never operated it before.''

*'''Eve:''' ''There's one thing I've been wondering. It's hard to believe that you've managed to develop a portal with the kind of technology available here.''

*'''Zero:''' ''That's what I want to say! It's not easy to jump through dimensions! How can you make a portal that jumps through dimensions with a bunch of junk?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Wow, aren't you a scaredy cat. Only a coward will leave it be when the answer you desperately seek is right in front of them.''

*'''Winster:''' ''That data was just one method of realizing our dreams. The laboratory contained many research that helped us. After many trial and error, we were able to complete a portal. But for whatever reason, we were unable to activate the portal that was in the laboratory.''

*'''Winster:''' ''We knew that the portal inside the laboratory needed special energy to operate, but it was impossible to find related data to continue with the research. Since your technology is more advanced, you might be able to use the portal.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Of course, you'd need to find an energy source to activate it. The stuff you find here, just won't cut it.''

*'''Chung:''' ''I agree with Elsword. I do not want to return by putting our friend in danger.''

*'''Ara:''' ''Yes! Either we all go, or we all remain! We can't let Lu handle everything!''

*'''Ciel:''' ''All of you...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I told you, I want to travel with Lu and Ciel, together. Let's all help resurrect the White-Ghost King and return to Elrianode together.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Don't worry. Despite how it looks, we do operate it every now and then to make sure it works.''

*'''Chung:''' ''When was the last maintenance?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Here, it will be easier if you see it. It brought some from the submarine.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Whoa! It's so cool! Ah, it's cold!''

*'''Haivan:''' ''When it contacts water, it reacts and creates energy. We need to condense that energy.''

*'''Raven:''' ''I suppose it'll be difficult to collect anywhere else. What do you mean it reacts to water?''

*'''Nichel:''' ''It's just as you've feared. There were a lot of monsters... It seems they've settled there like last time.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Ah... I was hoping that wouldn't be the case.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Sometimes the deep sea creatures settle by the chimney. Unlike others, they consume icerites, so they like being near the plant. We chase them away whenever we need to operate this place. Looks like we'll have to do it this time as well.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Then should we chase the creatures from the chimney?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Huhuhu, I can't take anything seriously from an ignorant ordinary man!''

*'''Add:''' ''What did you say?!''

*''Elsword:''' ''No, looks like they can't.''

*'''Ara:''' ''Oh! Over there...!''

|contents1=

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Is that all of it?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Oh, you really are strong! I thought it was an exaggeration when father told me you've defeated the machines in the tunnel. No wonder father put his faith in you! So how about it? Wanna fight together of our side?''

*'''Add:''' ''Never mind that, why don't you explain this situation instead. Explain why they are crawling around this plant!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... What was that about?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''I just thought you wanted some drama, so I played the part.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''I'm not really sure why... But the machines here are brought here because they need repairs, or to discard them after extracting useful parts. So... Maybe it's just a simple malfunction?''

*'''Raven:''' ''Isn't that too many for a simple malfunction?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Hm... If the problem was providing enough energy, then it might be because of the monsters that feed on icerites that it began moving again.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Nope! But it's great! At least now I know that those ones still have working parts! We can take the parts from the ones that move to fix the refiner! All according to plan!''

*'''Add:''' ''Easier said than done. It's not like yo're the one fighting.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Amazing! Your expression of distrust is almost perfect! But I'm an expert.''

*'''Ara:''' ''Then... Do we just keep fighting those machines? I can't tell if this is a good thing, or a bad thing.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''You think so too? So how about it, you fight the machines, and I collect the parts! It's perfect teamwork! Are you sure you don't want to fight on our side? Huh? Huh?''

*'''Raven:''' ''... We refuse.''

|contents1=

*'''Raven:''' ''There's too many machines here for security purposes.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Even so, there's too many of them. Do you remember the Nasod Foundry in Altera?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... What's that?''

*'''Add:''' ''Don't reply to everything he says. You're falling for his scheme. Why are YOU asking?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Oh, I was just surprised how similar it was to here. This used to be an armaments plant too.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Yeah? We're not super-powered like you guys, so we needed something to fight against Garens.''

*'''Ara:''' ''... War.''

*'''Raven:''' ''... You speak too lightly considering there's life at stake.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Heh, if you're going to nag, I'd have to refuse. My life is already half filled with father's nagging and lecturing.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... Are there a lot of people who wish for revenge at the village?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Of course. That's what they're living for. It's so barren here, you need something to hang on to, you know?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''What? But I was prepared to say something really cool! Can't we continue?''

*'''Add:''' ''Shut up!''

*'''Ara:''' ''(With my own two hands... He's right. Especially if it's something you must accomplish on your own.)''

*'''Eun:''' ''......''

|contents1=

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''......''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Huh?! Wa, What?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Yeah... He said something like what happened before, can happen again, right? So I was thinking... Even if we do manage to safely restore the El, one day, it might be in danger again, right?''

*'''Raven:''' ''... Elsword, I know you feel responsible for everything related to the El, but you don't have to worry about something that's yet to happen. And remember that we're not the only ones working to make sure something like that never happens again.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''You're so positive today. Aren't you the one who's always worrying about everything?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I guess...? You have a lot of insight, Aisha.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Ugh. I shouldn't have said that.''

*'''Raven:''' ''(I can see that the demons here lived with hatred in their hearts. But it's still amazing how they've managed to find a compromise in technology even with rage in the background. It can't be easy waiting for the right opportunity when the enemy is right in front of them. In the past... I thought the only way to live was to destroy myself in the name of revenge. That was the only way I knew how. I thought that was my path to redemption. I still stand by that belief but...... If I just had one ally who survived, perhaps this was the kind of path I would have found as well...)''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Um... Thanks for the concern. I'm still a little worried, but I feel much better now.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Ugh... Stop treating me like a kid!''

*'''Raven:''' ''... Ah, I was thinking that these machines should have enough parts to fix the refiner.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Yeah. This should be enough, right? Let's go!''

*'''Ara:''' ''Would you please stop? This is not the time to fight amongst ourselves!''

*'''Raven:''' ''... Are they still fighting?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''And he said not to reply to everything he said...''

*'''Raven:''' ''I can't believe they're doing all their work, fighting like that. Looks like they're at the last stage of repairs.''

*'''Add:''' ''Are you sure it's working?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Of course! Just watch my masterful work!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''What? When was I ever like that?''

*''Crash!! Grrr Crack!''

*'''Raven:''' ''Ugh...! What's that sound?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''No, I think... It came form downstairs?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Is everyone alright?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''I'm not sure, I think something went wrong in the lower levels.''

}}

*'''Ciel:''' ''I guess this wasn't the right time to idly exchange goodbyes. You should return to Elrianode immediately.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... Give me the gem. You're in a hurry, right? I'll activate the power system so you can check right away.''

*'''Eve:''' ''I'm fine. There's no need to do this for my sake...''

*'''Haivan:''' ''It's going to take forever and a half to explain how the portal works. It's faster if I do it myself. I did say it might be dangerous, but it should work properly. You just need to come and check. Wouldn't this be easier for you as well?''

*'''Laby:''' ''Look, Nisha! There's a huge lake! It looks just like you, just bigger!''

*'''Add:''' ''Is that the secret laboratory? It looks much more advanced than the junk we've seen so far.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Is that...''

*'''Winster:''' ''Yes, it's the soul fragment of the White-Ghost King.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''He's not listening to anything we've got to say.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Kugh... we need to find Haivan and stop that thing! Where is the cockpit?''

*'''Winster:''' ''... The cockpit is inside the machine.''

*'''Add:''' ''Is that the control panel? Can you overrule his commands?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Congratulations making it inside! I wonder if you can get through all the obstacles and take the gem?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Grrr... He's toying with us!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''It's not going to be easy. He must have something up his sleeve.''

*'''Add:''' ''Hmph, he's just a coward stuck in the cockpit. The main power source is over there. We found it earlier than I thought.''

|contents1=

*'''Haivan:''' ''... Not bad. I was sure you'd be exhausted by now.''

*'''Raven:''' ''What happened to the security system protecting the main power source?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''It's clear!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''......''

*'''Eve:''' ''Even if something like that does happen, Aisha, Chung, and I can mitigate some damage.''

*'''Laby:''' ''We need to save Winster and Nichel too!''

*'''Chung:''' ''We can't waste too much time though. Elsword, what do you think?''

*'''Laby:''' ''Waaaaah...''

*'''Ain:''' ''Ms. Mirror Friend is already flying away.''

*'''Add:''' ''We have no other choice. Don't worry, handling impossible situations is our specialty.''

*'''Ara:''' ''Yes! As a member of the Haan family, and a martial artist, I cannot stand down!''

*'''Elesis:''' ''We can do this. Let's stop Haivan and return to Elrios!''

*'''Winster:''' ''... ..., ... ...''

*'''Add:''' ''Hmph, everything worked out fine in the end.''

*'''Rose:''' ''Look! The White-Ghost King's soul fragment appeared again.''

*'''Lu:''' ''... So this is Aegirp's soul... I feel it's strength and elegance... Just as I remember.''

*''ROOOOOAAAR-!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Ugh...!!''

*'''Lu:''' ''... I sense Aegirp's power. Did he absorb the soul fragment?!''

*'''Raven:''' ''Is that why he looks different from Feita...?''

*''Rumble Rumble...!!''

*'''Raven:''' ''...!! This light...!''

*'''Eve:''' ''The energy is gathering at the center... Don't tell me you activated the portal?!''
