Story/Chapter 33: Difference between revisions

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''Let me try explaining this again. This fragment no longer holds the power of the El or the Dark El. There's no question that this fragment holds great power, but using a fragment that swirls with mixed energy is a recipe for disaster. With this particular fragment being from a mutated interdimensional being, the dangers are likely twofold.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''No...... But you are right. With this many people going through the portal, we'll have to find the safest way possible.''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''...... Ah... Another lively day it seems...''

*{{StoryIcon|Zero}} '''Zero:''' ''Hey, you call that an explanation? You didn't say anything about how much of a marvel I am with your Weapon conversion program and extensive knowledge on Elrios! Ahem! I am an AI of unparalleled brilliance using the El as my power source!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Well, all energy is Elrios is based on the El. What we magicians call mana or magic, in the end originates from the El as well. So really, there isn't any other way other than using the power of El, right?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Yes, that's rather strange. It's likely they didn't use the Dark El, since even Lu, as a demon ruler, never actually saw it. But the Demon Realm doesn't have the El. So El energy was not readily available for them, yet the demons went out of their way to use the Earth El.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''But Add couldn't use the portal device earlier because he didn't know the exact coordinates to the Demon Realm. It couldn't have been easy for demons to know the coordinates of the Earth El either. There must be a special reason they used the Earth El despite all these inconveniences. Wait, could it be... the El itself...''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''I said the El must have the ability to interfere with the connection between worlds to block outer forces from entering Elrios. And that outer force that the El blocks... it probably the 'Demon Realm'.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''When I was very young, I've heard an old nursery rhyme. "Apostles Bound, heed my words. A blue piercing light blinds your sight. The Reflection of creation, blocks your path. Reject it. Break it. To set things right."''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Yes. I don't know exactly where, but I definitely feel the distinct aura of the Demon Realm. If this is connected to the Demon Realm, it explains the need for a seal.''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''... This structure strongly resembles ancient seals. The ancient seal structure likely derived from this seal.........''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''... Yes. So what we should do is use some kind of... A trick. We'll use a spell to interfere with the flow of magic as its weakest point. Doing so will create a small gap that will allow you to pass through. It will use a great deal of mana, so I would need all the priestesses and Ventus to help.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rose}} '''Rose:''' ''... I want to follow. I mean, please let me follow you to the Demon Realm! I began my journey to prevent a great calamity fro approaching. I believe the answer will be at the end of your path. I will do my best to aid in your journey.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''We appreciate your help. I trust you'll be impartial as only someone from outside of Elrios and the Demon Realm could be. Glad to have you. It's always good to have more people on the same side.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Hmph! Stop making such a fuss! You are distracting me! Grrrr... Over there, that way!''

*{{StoryIcon|Ain}} '''Ain:''' ''Haha, I never thought I'd worry you so much. I'd have to make sure to 'step up my game'. Don't worry. I'm feeling fine.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Based on the data we collected in Elrianode, these monsters are comprosed of 98% Henir energy. Essentially, these beings are manifestations of chaos and destructin.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Destruction, which turns everything to nothing, chaos which scatters anything that is whole, and a 'manifestation' composed of destruction and chaos... A contradiction indeed. Shame we have to leave this fascinating test subject behind...''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Watch your step. If you fall, there is no coming back. Of course we'll try our best to rescue anyone who falls... But some situations call for sacrifices.''

*''(Keee- Screeeech-))''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Haha, come on everyone, let's stop the chit chat and move on. Something doesn't feel...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Aisha! Eve! Chung! Kugh...!! Rena! Ara! Lu! Ciel! Raven! Sis! Please! Open your eyes! Ugh...! Ain! Rose! No...''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''... sword. Elsword!! Are you okay?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''...... Ok. Though I don't know how much help you would be~''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Shhh! ... There's something ahead. Is that...?!''

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Everyone:''' ''Chloe!?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''Elsword, wait. Chloe, what are you doing all alone? You've always had a couple of elves with you when you were in Velder. Plus, the Dark Elves we've seen earlier didn't seem to know anything about the Demon invasion in Elrios.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chloe2}} '''Chloe:''' ''Tsk... I'm no longer a general of the Demon Army. In fact, I walked out of the army a while ago.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chloe2}} '''Chloe:''' ''I can't believe I'm talking to these idiots. The Guardian represents the forest. It eliminates the enemies of the forest in place of the trees. The Dark Elves live in symbiotic relationship with the Red Guardian as the other guardian of the forest. By now, they probably know you're here. I can't believe you lot are still getting in my way.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chloe2}} '''Chloe:''' ''...... Tsk, fine.''
