*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Sigh... I'm still feeling tense and everything hurts.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Perhaps this gem we've found will be an important lead. Although the energy it emits is very weak...''

*'''Ara:''' ''We also met the Fire Master. It was really an unexpected encounter.''

*'''Add:''' ''Tsk, even though we have both the power source and the coordinates back to Elrianode... If only we had proper equipment...''

*'''Elesis:''' ''No use complaining now! Come on, let's go!''

*'''Ain:''' ''Hm? Mr. Guardian, what's wrong?''

*''Keee- Grrrrrr-!''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''...! Enemies approaching, the numbers have increased significantly!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Wait, is this... It's like the vision I had. Is that actually becoming a reality? Am I... Am I about to lose everyone? No... That can't be it. But if it is, then I...)''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Are they coming this way?''

*'''Ain:''' ''(It's as she said. This area is... mutating. Is it because of the girl's interference? No... This place was changing even before. This distortion... It's like the Henir's rift when...!)''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''There's an abnormality in this realm... This large energy...''

*'''Ain:''' ''Looks like Ms. Fox was right earlier, and this realm is removing the threat.''

*'''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...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Where is this? I heart someone say... Something about a dimensional rift?''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Yes. It seems that the constant stimuli has caused the chaos to shift and change into a dimensional rift.''

*'''Ain:''' ''And we were sucked in to that dimensional rift when that happened. From what I can sense, I believe we are in...''

*'''Lu:''' ''You're right. We're back in the Demon Realm.''

*'''Ara:''' ''I see. So it wasn't the water that made it difficult to move, but the strong demonic energy of the Demon Realm.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''The fact we're back in the Demon Realm is concerning... And to be dropped in the water like this...''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''H, huh?''

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

*'''Laby:''' ''Zzzz... Laby... Will help...''

*'''Add:''' ''... Hey, someone take this pink blob.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Although from the way she's acting, it's hard to think she earned their trust.''

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

*'''Rose:''' ''A circular door...? Is that the enclosure with air that you've mentioned?''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Yes, and I still don't sense any threats.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''How strange for a space like this ti exist under water. Lu, have you heard of a place like this?''

*'''Lu:''' ''Hm... I can't say I have. But look at this place. It was clearly made to stay hidden from the public eye. It won't be easy to find places like this even if you tried.''

*'''Rose:''' ''Hm? There's something on the floor.... Rails?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''An artificial space beneath the sea, with built in rails... It must have been built to serve some kind of purpose.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Then that something might be at the end of this tunnel.''

*'''Add:''' ''A tunnel hidden away like this? This smells trouble no matter how you look at it. The fact that there's a rail in a place like this means whatever they had to move was important, and they had a lot of it.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''We were originally going to rest then head back out, but what do you think?''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Yeah, I would feel better once I know where we are.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Mm, well... She doesn't exactly look 'startled'.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Nisha!! Did you hear that? We're in the Demon Realm!! Laby didn't think we'd make it here like poof!''

*'''Laby:''' ''Well, you see, Rosso said Laby is from the Demon Realm!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Rosso said that? Does that mean you're... A demon?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''... I think you spoke too soon.''

*''Creeeeeek, creeeeeek...''

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

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

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''But it's surprising that we'd see these here.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''I agree. I didn't expect to encounter machines here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''I can see how. Look over here. Compared to the old body parts, the power cource here is relatively clean. Which means someon is regularly repairing these machines.''

*'''Add:''' ''That makes sense. Just like the tunnels had several parts that were fixed recently.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''The machines here... They didn't seem like they were just made to deliver packages considering how dangerous they were, right?''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''What could be there underneath?''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''We've come down quite far... I wonder where this tunnel will lead to?''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Don't worry. We're almost at the end of this tunnel.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''A door? Or a wall? It can't be that we're already at the end...''

*'''Ara:''' ''I don't see anything special...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''How disappointing. I thought we'd find something at the end of the tunnel.''

*'''Lu:''' ''There's no way someone would create a structure this big with no purpose in the Demon Realm. Search thoroughly.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''There was a space behind this door when I scanned...''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''But it was connected to the Sea.''

*'''Ara:''' ''I, it's not the time to say something like... Eeeek! The legs!!''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''What are you standing around for? It's a, approaching!!''

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

*'''Ara:''' ''Beast ears and tail?! Is he with the guy who claimed himself to be Ran's right-hand man?''

*'''???:''' ''You are...''

*'''Laby:''' ''Um, hey, is it bad if someone has animal ears and tail? But Calonne has ears like that...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''What do you... Did you already encounter a demon?''

*'''Laby:''' ''Uh huh. Calonne is a nice demon who helped Laby to arrive at Elrianode.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Wait, before you start. Are you under Ran?''

*'''Winster:''' ''If you mean Ran, the commander of the Red Demon faction... No, I can't say we are well acquainted. My name is Winster. I am the tunnel's supervisor.''

*'''Winster:''' ''I've merely entered a simple command to stop all intruders. Surely you agree that there should be some means to protect this place in case an enemy invades?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''To stop the intruders...? So there IS something beyond this tunnel.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''What? But I thought the only thing beyond this tunnel is...''

*'''Lu:''' ''And everything that was moved here, would have been moved using that method beyond this point.''

*'''Winster:''' ''You... Are a demon.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Is he that desperate to know how his friend is doing?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Hm... What should we do? It still seems suspicious...''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Chung?''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''I think you should stop there, Ciel.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Ugh... There's mountains of trash everywhere.''

*'''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.''

*'''Lu:''' ''If he were planning something, he would have already done it. I reckon he's trying to figure out something, by requesting us to bring back the energy core with a condition. Though I also find him slightly suspicious... Let's go along with it for now. In any case, could you make sure not to tell him that I'm a demon lord?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''We're here to find the submarine's energy core because of Winster's request.''

*'''???:''' ''Winster...? My father?''

*'''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.''

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

*'''???:''' ''Hey, hey, relax. I know I'm the one who brought it up, but I'm sure it's fine. Father's the representative of the village, and all he cares about is the safety of the villagers. Since you all managed to come here without a single injury, I don't think we'd be able to stop you anyway.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''What? Of course it's important. I'm just stating the facts, no need to get all worked up like that. I'm Haivan. I'm the son of the village representative, Winster. As you can see, I'm a Nous.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Nous?''

*'''Lu:''' ''Oh? And you don't share his beliefs?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Haha, now you're putting words in my mouth. Father represents the village, which means his will is also the village's. As long as I live in the village, you can say that my belief lies in tandem with his.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Haha, we're almost there. These guys hide the most important stuff in there.''

*'''Rose:''' ''I see the energy core!''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Hm? As you can see, I'm finishing them off. You do realize they're thieves right?''

*'''Ara:''' ''Oh... He's much more ruthless than I thought.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... Father did? But if you leave them alone, they're just going to repeat the same thing.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Violence may be an easy way to solve things, but it doesn't solve everything.''

----

*'''Winster:''' ''You're back.''

*'''Winster:''' ''It must have been troublesome finding this, and you've kept your promise?''

*'''Lu:''' ''They were rather misbehaved. We didn't harm them too much, as you've wished, but it would take time before they break their habits.''

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

*'''Lu:''' ''!''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''We can return together after breaking the White-Ghost King's seal, right? We just need to stay in the Demon Realm a little longer.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Nichel. This is one of the four demon lords, Queen Luciela, and her allies. They've promised to aid us in resurrecting our lord.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''The Steel Queen...! It's an honor!''

*'''Winster:''' ''Her parents were two of the few Garen who helped us. Nichel was born here, after the event.''

*'''Ain:''' ''So not all Nous and Garens are in bad terms. Is there always an exception?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''... I didn't think it would be well maintained when you said 'abandoned', but this is worse than I thought.''

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

*'''Haivan:''' ''Let's see... Was it last year, or the year before...''

*'''Add:''' ''I have nothing more to say.''

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

*'''Haivan:''' ''If you put it in water, it starts to boil and produce this pink gas. From there, you... Wait, you didn't know? I thought you fought the machines from the tunnel. Didn't you see it?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Well... I did think it would be useful as a weapon since it's poisonous, but it doesn't seem that effective with all of you in tip top condition...''

*'''Add:''' ''Should I apologize for leaving the tunnel unscathed?''

*'''Add:''' ''You're the one that's acting weird lately. Tsk, we shouldn't have to worry about you.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Hahaha, is that so?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''It's all nice and touching, but this is all routine stuff. You're making it sound like we're about to head off to war.''

*'''Winster:''' ''He's right. You will all be with us as your guide. There's no need to worry.''

*'''Zero:''' ''This is where you collect the energy source for the submarine and the machines in the tunnel?''

*'''Lu:''' ''Perhaps it's more accurate to call it a monster's nest than a plant.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Hm... I didn't expect there to be so many of them.''

*'''Lu:''' ''... I never knew she was trading with the Northern Empire before I came here. Did any of the other lords know of her plans?''

*'''Winster:''' ''I don't think so. Everything was done in secret, since portal technology can easily fall into the wrong hands.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Anyway, I was surprised. My lord told me that you were not someone who was interested in other lords' affairs.''

*'''Lu:''' ''You are right. That's how I was. But that's how demons usually are. It's the one like the Red Demon King, who pokes his nose in everything, that's the odd one. Demons are naturally violent. They only know of ruling and being ruled. Harmony and Cooperation is something out of fairy tales. And still, Aegirp wished for peace, seems like Aegirp was even odder than I thought.''

*'''Lu:''' ''Of course. Hatred towards Elrios only comes naturally for demons, after all.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Wait, Lu. Are you saying that demons already hate Elrios as they are born?''

*'''Lu:''' ''Just like babies that know how to breathe without learning, demons instinctively hate Elrios. I was like that as well. As I learned to control my power, such urge also subsided... But even after I've escaped from that instinctual hatred, I never imagined something like trade with Elrios would be possible.''

*'''Ain:''' ''(The hatred angels harbor against demons was something imprinted on me, regardless of my feelings. Are demons also born with hatred towards Elrios, regardless of their own will?)''

*'''Ciel:''' ''You know, yet you seek revenge?''

*'''Winster:''' ''I've lost my lord overnight, and lost my family to those I've trusted my back. There's not a lot that hold us together and kept us going.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''... You'd be betraying your lord's wishes.''

*'''Winster:''' ''But is it betrayal to punish those who've betrayed? Those Garens living on the surface are curs that bit the hand that fed them. There's no guarantee it won't happen again. They should be removed in order to realize my lord's ideas.... Of course, I'm not saying right now, we have no chance of winning. It's not easy to overcome natural differences in strength. So we've resolved to fight in our own way. This plant was found in preparation for that fight.''

*'''Winster:''' ''... Because of an incident that happened with the gas.''

*'''Winster:''' ''... We could not risk lives just to keep this place running. So now, we are looking for another way.''

*'''Lu:''' ''Haivan said your will is the will of the village. If they all agreed to revenge against the Garens, they must have been disappointed.''

*'''Winster:''' ''There was one, long ago. The intruder came in through the collasping tunnel. Thankfully it was a child, and was of no harm to us... But I've increased security just in case. You're the first visitor since.''

*'''Rose:''' ''Are you speaking of the machines that were at the tunnel?''

*'''Lu:''' ''For someone who've tested my intention so boldly, you speak as if you were afraid.''

*'''Winster:''' ''It's not an unfounded fear. I have heard that the Red Demon General Ran contracted with the Garens which was a cause for concern.''

*'''Winster:''' ''So I've heard. Are you looking for him?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Unfortunately no... However, I did hear that he transferred some of his subordinates. Perhaps the black armored knight was also among those who transferred. But this is all speculation. I apologize I wasn't much help.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Haha. As long as I witnessed the return of my lord before my dying breath, that was enough. Thankfully, you've offered help, so I believe we have a chance, even if we do lack information.''

*'''Lu:''' ''A chance? With me by your side, it will be a sure success! I will make sure all the fragments are found.''

*'''Winster:''' ''It's been a long time since we've had anyone else we could trust... I thank you once more.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''I would like to remind you, that this is still a deal. Shouldn't we make this key if you want our help?''

|contents1=

*'''Zero:''' ''This icerite... It's mostly made of water and gas, but it crystalizes in cold climates.''

*'''Ain:''' ''So it requires many different conditions in order to exist. To use this as a resource, demons here are quite amazing. (Humans processed and transformed El shards to use them in various ways. Although they didn't have the El, looks like they've managed to develop using different resources. I always believed demons were an inferior species that went against the will of the goddess. But... The more I learn the more I realize how similar they are to humans.)''

*'''Ciel:''' ''......''

*'''Ciel:''' ''What is it?''

*'''Zero:''' ''Be careful guys, something's coming!''

*'''Ciel:''' ''And that thing it's carrying on its back looks like machinery. It's enormous.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Ah, I've never seen such a large specimen in this plant.''

*'''Ain:''' ''Or maybe it's here because we've collected a feast for it.''

*''Sssh-!! Ssssh-!''

*'''Winster:''' ''Stop it! You can't let it approach the machines!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Haa! I think so too!''

*'''Ain:''' ''Welcome, Ms. Elf.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Yeah, good to see you again, but let's take care of this uninvited guest first, shall we?''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Both of you... Ugh... This noise...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Eve?! Are you alright?''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''I'm fine. I wasn't injured in battle. I must have overexerted myself.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''... We didn't have any opportunity to rest since we've come to the demon realm. With the environment changing so quickly, it's understandable that you're exhausted.''

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

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

*'''Haivan:''' ''... You've come. I knew you would. I mean, you're stubborn like that.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Haivan? Why did you go up there? You should be able to control the energy source from down here.''

*'''Lu:''' ''Aegirp tried to make a world where the two races peacefully coexist. When she comes back, you won't have to live like this! You ungrateful brat! Don't you realize that we're all trying to help achieve that goal?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''I'm not an idiot like you, who believes what the White-Ghost King achieved is something great. Imagine trying to tape together what is already broken. It will be too easy to break it again. Useless trash, that barely looks fine on the outside. That's what the White-Ghost King created.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''I don't need anyone. Especially not the White-Ghost King. Just look at the people here. They have the technology to fight, yet they hide away like a coward. They're just like tamed animals waiting for the White-Ghost King!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Was that what you meant when you said you must do everything on your own?''

*'''Ain:''' ''I see the pathway. We should be able to enter from there.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Let's hurry, it's no going to be open long.''

*'''Add:''' ''And you expect us to trust you? How do we know it's not a trap to lead us astray?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Please, trust me. The internal structure is more complicated than you think. Also... If you accidentally destroy a core part, the portal might no open. I will do my best to minimize the damage so please...... Please... My son...''

*'''Add:''' ''... Tsk.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Understood. We expect clear instructions. I will handle the...''

|tab1=Main

*'''Ain:''' ''Even though it doesn't really look like a laboratory. Looks like the structure is shifting a lot. I wonder if Mr. Dog can actually help us.''

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

*{{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.''

*'''Ain:''' ''Be careful Mr. Guardian. I sense powerful energy.''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Let's avoid that situation if we can though. I used a lot of my mana and Eve overexerted herself. Besides, it's not just us that will be hit.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... I want to take the gem. It won't change anything if we just stand around here and do nothing. Even if we regret it later, it's better to take action.''

*'''Rose:''' ''Yes, quick action is preferable at this moment.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''...!''

*'''Berthe:''' ''Kuahahah! How will you fight, without the advantage of numbers?''

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

*'''Add:''' ''... Hey, everyone. I have an idea. Gather around the main power source.''
