*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''-'' | *{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''... Hey, isn't this too much of a detour? It will take 3 times our estimated time frame.'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''This is the only safe path you have. The path through the neutral zone Aren gave you is now blocked due to the Abyss.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''If you stray too far from the path, you'll end up in other Dream Demons' territory.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''You make it sound so ominous... but why is this such a big deal?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''The short cut you've chosen will force you to enter two different factions.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''One is under jurisdiction of Queen Medovine, the holder of nine golden hearts. Everything is a gamble here. Even your life.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''The Queen of Golden Heart... A collector who hoards anything precious.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''I cannot imagine what kind of value she'd attribute to those from Elrios.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''A hoarder... Then we could potentially end up as her collection.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Beyond the Queen's territory is the hunter's land. There, the Torta Brothers are in charge. They're truly ruthless.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''... Why are you whispering all of a sudden?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Most of us are from there. We were able to escape under the condition that we seal the power of our eyes.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''You saw the scars on Ikus's faces. Please don't mention this around others.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''They'll all be... scared.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''I thought there mght be a story behind it, but I had no idea. Does that mean you're from somewhere else? You don't seem to have a scar.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''... Pardon me, Steel Queen. I do not wish to burden you with my personal, pitiful story.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Understandable. Then let's get back to the topic at hand. These Dream Demons must be very hostile for you to react like this.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Yes. But who they are really doesn't matter. You should never go against any group that doesn't fear death.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''But... Is there no other way? This forces us to deviate from our path too much. It will take weeks just getting out of Red Demon Territory.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''We can't exactly wait for the Abyss to close, since we cannot predict when or, even whether it would close...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''This is quite cumbersome... If only the Abyss would just disappear one day.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Ha! That is an option, you know. You just have to get rid of the catalyst that abruptly expanded the Abyss!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''I told you not to interfere.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Red Demon King. You seem to be eager to send us to the Abyss. What's your game?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''I was waiting for you to ask me the question. Aww, don't look at me like that. I just wanted to ask you for a deal!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''It's not like we're on friendly terms.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Haha. Still, a friendly greeting goes a long way. Who knows? Maybe I can be useful along the way.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''The Abyss is in a critical state. It's expanding faster as time goes on.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''It's more threatening than any other Abyss I've seen before. At this rate, the entire Red Demon Territory may be swallowed up by the Abyss before long.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''If I don't do something... I may have to call myself the King of Abyss.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''I understand that the situation is worsening, but I don't see how that concerns us.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Hey, hey! I'm getting there! Slow down.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''What if I tell you... The culprit behind the one expanding the Abyss is no other than our dear friend, Earl Ran?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Hm? How about it? Interested?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''... I...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''I think this is a matter we must discuss all together. I will bring the others.'' | |||
---- | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''... I don't buy it. You said it yourself. Entering Abyss is basically like forfeiting your own life.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Tell me about it! I was surprised to. I know Ran is called the Earl of Abyss, but it's not like he can actually do much in one.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''But didn't you say that demons from Red Demon Territory are used to Abyss...?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''We do. That's why we live here despite its occasional holes. But entering one, is a whole other story.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''If he did manage to conquer the Abyss, I'd also like to know how.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''He could have charged in recklessly?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''I don't know since I haven't actually met him, but he could have been desperate.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Yeah, I don't think so. He looked like he had a clear goal. I believe he acquired something...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''I suspect he's planning to use that something to manipulate the endless demonic energy of Abyss.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''That's why I was planning on using one of the Dream Demons to scout it out... When you and Luciela came along!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''What an unexpected coincidence, don't you think?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Hm? For someone who said they didn't know what Ran was up to, you sure seem to be very aware of it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''I suppose. Ever since I got my eye back in Varnimyr, I was watching him. I was curious what he was going to do after he stabbed my back.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''If you were watching Ran, you could have stopped him at any point.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Then isn't this essentially from your negligence?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Huhuhu, I told you. I was curious what he would do next.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Hold on... But you must have another reason you left him be. Can't you take this seriously for one moment?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Sigh... Believe it or not, he is likely very serious.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''That knave would sell his soul as long as it entertains him or satisfies his curiosity.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''As I was saying, my purpose is to stop Ran.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''The demonic energy from the Abyss is immense, and unknown... even rumored to be the origin of demons.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''I don't know how Ran plans to take that power... and if it's even possible... But.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''If he succeeds, there wouldn't be a single entity that can defeat Ran. Both the Demon Realm, and Elrios.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''So you want to get rid of him before he tries to take over your throne?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Huh? Not necessarily. I actually think it's impressive.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Hahaha! Just how far can Ran take this? My heart is pounding from anticipation!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''What...? You're... excited?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Of course? The most powerful in the universe, who masters the demonic energy of the Abyss! It's essentially the return of the demon god from the legends!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''To actually witness its birth... It really thrills me.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Oh... But there will be nothing left after that.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''What do you mean?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Once Ran becomes indisputably invincible... Who would be left to defeat him?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Wait, I can't follow your logic at all. Can you explain this step by step?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Do you want to encourage Ran, or stop him?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Stirbargen}} '''Stirbargen:''' ''Neither, really. Ran is not the important factor. I want demon lords, and the defeat of demons lords.'' | |||
