After returning to Elrianode, they got themselves to safety, although the return was wounded, as Ain had also lost consciousness. Elsword blames Add for the incident, and due to the tension, they head to Denif, who tells them Ain must be brought to the El Lady, Hernia. Eve and Add decide to carry Ain to Elysion, but Elsword and Raven also tag along for their reasons. Elesis, Luciela, and Ciel decide to head to Rosso, while Aisha rushes to Ventus when Rena falls unconscious. Rose decides to find her clues, finding a transmitter. Aisha and Chung decide to go in to the seal of the Master Denif's compass.
Some time later, some members return, and Lu manages to piece together Rose's message, mentioning the potential location is Aurora, a winter-like territory that can freeze the skin even solid. Aisha is optimistic about the new results.
When the light disappeared, a familiar sight welcomed them. They have returned to Elrianode.

Laby:Cough! Cough! What was that shiny thing?
Add:... The portal worked. Looks like we're in Elrianode.
Zero:What? You mean the portal actually worked properly? So there WAS enough power in that gem after all!
Elsword:Wait, what about the others? Are we...
Rena:Everyone! Come quick! Ain doesn't look too good.
Ciel:Ain? What happened?
Rena:I'm not sure. Something must have happened when he were coming over to Elrianode. I tried waking him up, but he won't budge!
Elesis:For now, we should calm down. We're in Elrianode, so we can ask for help.
Chung:I'll go get the priestesses!
Raven:... I didn't expect this is how we'd make it back...
Elsword:Tsk...
Raven:Elsword?
Elsword:Add! Why... Why did you activate the portal?! I thought we were going to handle the situation together!
Elsword:I wouldn't have agreed to your plan if I knew we were just going to leave them there! We could have helped them!!
Add:Shut up.
Elsword:What did you say?
Add:Help them? Idiot. If we were in any position to help, I wouldn't have gambled our lives on a portal that wasn't even guaranteed to work.
Elsword:So you thought the best thing to do was just leave everyone behind?
Add:It was HIS request. That demon brat probably listened to all his last words.
Lu:.......
Add:Face it. There was no way to make the situation better.
Elsword:No! If only we've managed to defeat Berthe...!
Add:Wake up, will you? He would have shred you to pieces!
Add:He would have shred all of us to pieces, if we blindly followed you along! You need to face the facts and grow up!
Elesis:We did manage to escape on time, thanks to Add... But I'm still worried about the two we've left behind...
Ara:... I hope they're alright...
Add:Have you all gone mad? Since when did we worry about demons?
Add:Weren't you the one who was complaining about how they invaded Elrios? Are we all friends now? We didn't even know them for that long, and you'd trust so readily?
Elsword:You can't be serious!
Aisha:Stop it! Now is really not the time. Can't you see some of us are injured here!
Raven:Aisha's right. Let's calm down and continue this later. We shouldn't lose our cool over this.
Laby:Eve, are you alright? Can you stand?
Eve:... I'm not sure if I can on my own. Will you assist me? Please help Moby and Remy as well.
Laby:Ok! Here, take Laby's hand!
Eve:Thank you.
Add:.......
Artea:Everyone!
Ignia:Are you all ok!?
Ara:Artea, Ignia!
Ignia:Ah...! I'm glad you made it back, but pleasantries can wait... Mr. Priest over there, is he going to be ok?
Aisha:No... He's not reacting to anything. It's not like he has any visible injuries...
Artea:Oh...?
Elsword:Do you know what the problem is?
Artea:... I have an idea, but we should let Master Denif take a look. Anduran went to get him, so he should be here soon.
Ignia:Everyone else should let Darkmoon heal their injuries. Let's all head to the El Tower.
Though they have successfully returned, there is unease. Meanwhile, Ain is still unconscious. Let's ask Denif how to cure Ain.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Darkmoon:... I'm sorry. My powers are not enough to heal Ain completely.
Artea:He's not just unconscious. He is showing no reaction to outside stimuli.
Chung:What now? Should we wait?
Denif:... No. He's not injured, so there's no use waiting for him to regain consciousness.
Denif:The El energy in his body is much weaker. I believe that is the reason why he fails to wake up.
Rose:Is there anyway we can cure him?
Denif:There's nothing I can do at the moment.
Denif:What he needs right now, is treatment from Hernia... The El Lady.
Elesis:... Technically, I'm also an El Lady. Is there anything I can do to help?
Denif:That would be difficult. There was never a time when two El Ladies existed at the same time.
Elesis:But in Lanox, I...
Denif:That may be an instance of the Goddess, or the El's Will possessing you, knowing that Hernia was unable to fulfill her duty.
Denif:Furthermore, you do not show any symptoms that an El Lady usually displays. Which leads to the conclusion that, at the moment, it is more accurate to state that you are a possible candidate for the El Lady.
Denif:I do understand the desire to help your friends, but you do not have the necessary abilities to know what Ain requires.
Elesis:I... understand.
Eve:Then we should head to Elysion to meet the El Lady.
Eve:I too, require maintenance from sustained damage from our last battle. It is possible to conduct a self-reparation, but...
Eve:I will be able to recover faster with Adrian's help.
Elesis:If you can receive better care, it's for the best... But there's no need to hurry for our sake, Eve.
Eve:Thank you for your concern, but as you are well aware, we have strayed far from our original plan.
Eve:We have hypothesized that the Dark El acts similarly to the El in the Demon Realm. Based on that hypothesis, we devised a method to track the Dark El using the gem from Varnimyr as it exuded similar energy, but...
Raven:We failed to retrieve the gem...
Eve:But thanks to the gem, we were able to return to Elrianode. I am worried about Ain's condition, but it seems that can be resolved in Elysion, which is a relief.
Eve:With all of this in mind, I wish to hurry to Elysion. Since we are in Elrios, we should do whatever we can to prepare ourselves better.
Elesis:Ok, I trust your judgement. Just... Don't rush it, and come back safely.
Eve:Of course.
Add:I'll go with her. I have something to take care of as well.
Elsword:... I'll go with you.
Add:What, you don't think I'm trustworthy?
Elsword:I'm worried about Ain, and I have my own reasons.
Add:.......
Aisha:(What are you going to do with these two...)
Raven:I'll go as well. You'll need another pair of hands to help Eve and Ain.
Chung:Ain...
Elsword:Ain will be fine. Everyone should rest. And...
Elsword:Let's think together what we should do moving forward.
Denif:If you are all decided, you should leave now. Artea, gather all the priestesses to send them to Elysion.
The Demon Army has a portal and Rigomor may be in danger... While the El Search Party attempt to return to the Demon Realm immediately, the seal was closed. They need a new way to get to the Demon Realm.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Ciel:Are we all done for now?
Darkmoon:I took care of the most urgent injuries... But everyone should rest easy.
Rena:Thank you Darkmoon. Oh, and you must be...
Gaia:Ah, let me introduce myself. I am Gaia. Though I may be less experienced than the others, I am the Earth Master. I've heard many things about you from the others.
Rena:I see! Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you from Laby.
Laby:Yup! Laby brought the El Search Party safe and sound! See? Laby always keep promises!
Gaia:You're right. I'm glad, Laby. I'm grateful everyone made it back safely.
Elesis:It was thanks to Laby, we were able to return safely.
Lu:The timing was impeccable.
Laby:Uh huh! Laby and Nisha helped out a lot!
Laby:Oh... But... We didn't help Calonne's friend and Nichel.
Chung:.......
Aisha:If we hurry back, we might be able to prevent the worst from happening. Although Winster, Nichel, and Haivan were the only ones there...
Ara:You're right. Winster's village must be in Rigomor. It would be disastrous if they invade the village.
Lu:We can't let any harm come to the place he wished to protect. If we open the portal now...!
Ventus:Ah, well... That's not really an option.
Ara:But Master Ventus! We must help them somehow!
Aisha:... Master Denif said creating a gap on the seal is an unorthodox method. Did something happen to the seal? Or is there a real possibility that something might?
Ventus:My, I guess magicians do think alike! You nailed it in one!
Ventus:Before, we could open a gate, albeit an unorthodox way, using spells. But right now... Let's just say that the seal, is now properly sealed.
Ventus:Which is why we weren't able to help you right away, so we sent little lady here, to help.
Sasha:The El became rapidly unstable... So we had to prepare for the worst.
Elesis:If something happened to the El, it wold have been irrevocable... In any case, we must find a new method, since the passage under the El Tower is no longer viable.
Lu:Hm? Elesis, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Laby:Ehhh? What are you talking about?
Elesis:There's someone who managed to go to the Demon Realm without using the seal. And he's in Elrianode.
Ciel:Who are you talking ab... Ah, you're right...!
Lu:The Fire Master. An unexpected surprise we encountered in the Demon Realm.
Ara:I see! So Master Rosso may know of a way to go to the Demon Realm without using the seal beneath the El!
Ventus:Mm, well I don't know... I doubt it's recommended.
Elesis:We don't have the luxury of choosing the most ideal method. We have to check, as long as there's even a slight possibility.
Ventus:If you must, I won't stop you. Rosso is probably in the training grounds outside, near the El Tower. I saw him train there occasionally.
Ventus:Something about losing something in the Demon Realm? He said he needed to control his power more acutely to make up for it.
Lu:Alright. Then let us go ask the Fire Master.
Laby:Take Laby! Take Laby! Laby can help because Laby knows when you keep asking Rosso, he gets really angry but still answers everything!
Lu:Oh? That is useful information.
Elesis:Uh... Laby? We'll go ask Master Rosso. Will you find another way to get to the Demon Realm? It's a very important mission.
Laby:Ehh? Really? Ok! Laby will find another way!
Elesis:Maybe this will prevent her from learning other bad things.
Laby:Huh? Did you say something?
Elesis:Nothing. We'll be right back.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Ventus:Hm... Oh well, I'm sure it's fine.
Aisha:Master Ventus, is something wrong?
Ventus:You know, before little lady jumped in to help, Rosso demanded to save you before the gap was closed, because you might be stranded in the Demon Realm.
Ara:I see. That's good to know.
Ventus:But then, Rosso learned that we could no longer open the passage, and just... clammed up.
Ventus:We couldn't really ask why... But I suspect Rosso doesn't remember what happened...
Aisha:... Or maybe he can no longer use that method. Just like the passage below the El Tower.
Ventus:That's what I think anyway. So we were just looking for another way when you all came back.
Laby:Another method? Oh! Laby knows!
Ventus:Yup! Junior was planning to go see your friend, little lady.
Ara:Laby's friend? You mean the demon that used to know Winster?
Laby:Uh huh! Calonne said he used to move between Elrios and the Demon Realm, so he might know how!
Chung:But wouldn't he have gone back, if he knows?
Rena:I still think it's worth a try. Even if he doesn't know how to go back, as a portal engineer, he must be aware of the coordinates of the Demon Realm.
Aisha:To use the machine in the underground laboratory beneath the castle? The one that we couldn't use because Add didn't know the coordinates?
Rena:Thank goodness Add isn't here. You really don't hold back your punch, Aisha.
Rena:... I'm worried about those who went to Elysion.
Aisha:Don't worry, Rena. Eve and Raven are there. And I'm sure Elsword knows.
Rose:Then shall we go find this... Calonne?
Ventus:Calm down. No need to crowd the guy. Besides, it's not like you're all in tip-top condition.
Ventus:Junior was going to go anyway, so why don't you sit back and relax. You can't go to the Demon Realm in your condition even if we manage to open the portal.
Rena:That's true...
Laby:Laby still wanna go! Laby wants to see Calonne and Mao! And tell them about Winster!
Gaia:If Laby comes... It will be easier to earn Calonne's trust... But will you be ok? It hasn't been long since you've arrived.
Laby:Laby is strong! See? Good as new!
Ara:May I accompany you as well?
Gaia:Ah... But...
Ara:I heard Calonne is in the Northern Empire, which is my homeland. I wish to see how it's faring for myself, even just for a moment.
Elesis, Lu, and Ciel look for Rosso to find a way to get back to the Demon Realm. From afar, they see the training grounds surrounded by savage energy.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Elesis:So... We're looking for the training grounds?
Lu:I reckon it would be easy to find. It would be hard not to notice power of that caliber.
Ciel:... Lu, I have a favor to ask before we meet the Fire Master.
Lu:You don't have to say anything, Ciel. I already know what you want to say.
Ciel:You do?
Elesis:Well, of course. Master Ventus did look very hesitant to tell us about it.
Lu:It's likely that the method he used is not feasible at the moment. If it were, they wouldn't have left us to fend for ourselves.
Elesis:They did come all the way back to the Demon Realm just to hand over the Wind Spirit Stone. They would have done something to help us if they could.
Ciel:They why are we going to see him, if we already know he doesn't have the answer we seek?
Lu:... At least we'll be doing something.
Lu:Besides, even if the method he used is no longer feasible, there might be another way to apply it, as long as we understand how it was done.
Ciel:So we're just grasping at straws here...
Lu:We need to make our way back to Rigomor as soon as possible. We can't let Berthe collect any more of Aegirp's soul.
Elesis:Even with just a fragment of the soul, his power was enhanced exponentially. If he collects all the souls and stars leading the demon army... That might be too much for us to handle.
Lu:It seems we've arrived.
Ciel:These marks were left by something sharp. It's similar to those we've found near the tower in Varnimyr. Looks like we've got the right place.
Rosso:What do you want?
Elesis:We wanted to ask you something.
Rosso:No.
Ciel:We didn't even tell you what it is...
Lu:Shouldn't you at least hear us out?
Rosso:Isn't it obvious? You want to know how I ended up in the Demon Realm.
Elesis:You're right. We encountered a powerful demon that invaded Elrios before. If we don't stop him, Elrios will be in danger again.
Elesis:And we've met people we want to help. We need anything that could help us save them.
Rosso:You have no right to know, and I'm under no obligation to tell you.
Lu:Such insolence! You would have been stuck in the Demon Realm if it weren't for us!
Ciel:We did help with the restoration of Elrianode, and fought with Henir's Order. Not to mention fighting with you.
Ciel:I believe that should give us some right to ask you for information.
Rosso:Don't be obtuse.
Rosso:So you helped out a little while I was gone, so what?
Rosso:Protecting the El is still under the jurisdiction of the El Masters and the Priestesses. Outsiders should stay out of our business.
Ciel:Jurisdiction granted by what? A civilization long gone?
Rosso:You think the rules were just made arbitrarily? It's bad enough that we had outsiders meddle in the first place.
Elesis:What, so now the El Masters will take over going to the Demon Realm and find the Dark El?
Lu:I thought you had to stay here to protect the El from the Order.
Rosso:An El Master is responsible for the safety of the El. I heard that the El is unstable at the moment. Which means that finding the Dark El, thus stabilizing the El is also one part of a Master's duty.
Rosso:Sigh... What more do you want? I told you everything I can, so why don't you get lost.
Rosso:Oh, and give us all the information you have on that demon. If we see him, we'll take care of it.
Lu:Grr! You bullheaded, obstinate little...!
Elesis:... Do other Masters share your opinion?
Rosso:Why should I care what they think?
Elesis:Then there's still room for discussion. We can't just stand down. I'm going to have to discuss with Master Denif...
CRASH!
Rosso:Stop.
Ciel:What. I thought you had nothing more to tell us?
Rosso:Didn't I tell you to stay out of our business? And you there, I don't like your cheeky attitude. You better think twice before you open your mouth again.
Lu:You talk big for someone who was beaten soundly by us before.
Rosso:That's it! You will regret this, you morons!
Lu:Who are you calling a moron? Have you even looked at yourself? Why can't yo just open your puny mouth and tell us how you ended up in the Demon Realm?!
Rosso:Who are you calling puny? You wanna die?!
Elesis:How did I see this coming...
Ciel:Well, it would've been harder not to.
Lu:If we win, you better confess how you go to the Demon Realm!
Rosso:If you think you can win just because you have an advantage in numbers, you are sorely mistaken.
El Search Party spread out to do what they can. Maybe she let her guard down too much, but a shadow casts over Rena's face.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Aisha:I hope everyone in Rigomor stay safe until we come back...
(Collapse)
Aisha:R, Rena?!
Aisha:Is Rena going to be ok?
Ventus:She must have been overexerting herself. It doesn't look like anything serious, so she should be fine once Darkmoon takes a look at her.
Zero:Hm? Rose, what have you got there?
Rose:Ah, I was looking at the communication device that Add left behind.
Aisha:You mean the device we used to communicate with Winster in Rigomor? It looks broken. Maybe he meant to throw it away?
Rose:There's some static, so it's still somewhat functional.
Chung:Is it still connected?
Rose:We can only hope. Everyone seems to be fearing the worst, so it would be a relief if we can learn what's happening.
Chung:Oh... Do you mean to communicate with Rigomor using this device?
Rose:Indeed.
Aisha:It's a great idea! Provided it works... If we know exactly what's happening in Rigomor, it will increase our chance of saving them, and giving us a breather.
Aisha:Ah well, if there are good news to be shared, that is...
Zero:Let me take a look.
Zero:Hm... Just as I thought from the exterior. It's junk. It can't catch any signal that's too far away. The reason why we're only hearing static is probably because we're beyond the working parameters.
Aisha:The Demon Realm and Elrios ARE technically different worlds... Is there nothing we can do?
Rose:How about strengthening the receptors on our end by using the wavelength of the El?
Zero:... I'm listening.
Rose:Zero, I'm suggesting the method we use to communicate with the Heavens.
Zero:Hm...?
Aisha:What's the method?
Rose:We use the wavelength of the El to send out a signal. It uses the power of El as a medium to send an interdimensional message.
Aisha:I see! So, what you're saying, is that we might be able to communicate with those in the Demon Realm, just like those in the Heavens can communicate with you, right?
Rose:That is what I'm suggesting. How about it, Zero. Will it work?
Zero:Hm... Reverse tracking may work...
Zero:If we decide to use wavelengths, there's good potential even with this piece of junk. This method have the least limitations in the kind of medium we use, and can cover most distance.
Rose:Just answer my question, is it possible?
Zero:In theory, yes! But it's not going to be easy. Probably harder than establishing the communication between Elrios and the Heavens.
Rose:Why is that? Isn't the Demon Realm closer than the Heavens?
Ventus:You may think Elrios and the Demon Realm is closer due to the similarities, but they're actually two, completely separate, worlds.
Zero:And according to the hypothesis we made last time, the El rejects influence from the Demon Realm. Which means, the power of El might not be ideal to reach the Demon Realm.
Zero:But it's worth a try. Didn't the demons use a dimensional portal using the El or something? Which means it's technically possible.
Rose:We should find a way to forcibly increase the signal, so it reaches the Demon Realm...
Aisha:That sounds complicated... It might have been easier if we tried to do it in the Demon Realm, but at this time, we're not even sure when we'll go back.
Ventus:Haha. My, aren't you in a pinch.
Aisha:.......
Ventus:?
Aisha:Master Ventus, I heard each El element has different properties. What properties does the Wind El have?
Ventus:I have a feeling that I shouldn't answer this question for my own good...
Ventus:Well, if you define the properties of the Wind El in one word... I guess, it's movement.
Aisha:Movement?
Ventus:Mmhm. High to low, hot to cold... When that movement meets fire, it swallows everything in its wake, and when it meets water, it raises great waves.
Ventus:I guess I could say, that if you're trying to use an elemental El to connect to the Demon Realm, the wind might have a slightly better chance of succeeding than the other elements.
Rose:If there's a chance, I'd like to try, no matter how little. Master Ventus, may I ask for your assistance?
Ventus:Mmhm- Well, I guess you did help us out a lot, and looks like I'm the only option there is.
Ventus:Then let us find a place, Hm? I shouldn't really use my powers near the El Tower.
Rose:Understood. Everyone, we will come back after attempting communication with the Demon Realm.
Aisha and Chung seek Denif to find a way to track the Dark El. Denif shows them an unexpected item, and send them to the dimension inside the compass.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Aisha:Oh, looks like we're the only ones left.
Aisha:Didn't Elsword tell everyone to rest easy? Oh well. I guess it's understandable why everyone is feeling restless right now.
Aisha:Ok! I better get moving too!
Aisha:Let's see... We already have people looking into the portal, and Rose and Zero is going to be investigating communications with Rigomor, so...
Chung:.......
Aisha:Hm...
Aisha:(Chung looks really down...)
Aisha:(Almost like a puppy out in rain.)
Aisha:... Hey, Chung. I was thinking about finding Master Denif. Do you want to come with me?
Chung:Hm, uh, what? I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. I had a lot on my mind. ...What did you say?
Aisha:I was going to go ask Master Denif if I could take a look at the fused El that Hennon used.
Chung:You mean the substance that was a mixture of the Primal El and the Dark El? Why do you need it?
Aisha:Well, we went to the Demon Realm to find the Dark El, right? We even took the gem out of Varnimyr hoping it will help us find the Dark El.
Aisha:But we didn't manage to bring it here... So we need another plan.
Chung:Hennon tried to go to the Demon Realm using the Primal El...
Chung:But we decided not to use the Primal El because it was unstable. What changed?
Aisha:Nothing really... Since it's composed of the Primal El and the Dark El, we can't predict what could happen, just like Master Denif said.
Aisha:But we have a mission! And I'm not just talking about defeating Berthe. So, I want to be prepared for anything!
Aisha:So... Do you want to come? You look like you need something to distract you a bit.
Aisha:Oh, don't think you have to follow me or anything. If you're exhausted, you should rest!
Chung:No, you're right. I'll go with you.
Chung:Sorry, Aisha. I didn't mean to worry you.
Aisha:Not at all! You are very reliable and a great help!
Chung:...Thank you for that... But I feel like I should have done more to help.
Chung:If I were doing my part... maybe Ain wouldn't be hurt right now...
Aisha:Chung...
Chung:... Let's go. To Master Denif.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Aisha:Master Denif! Here you are!
Denif:Hm? Do you need something? We've already sent Elsword and others to Elysion.
Chung:Oh... Um... Ah! We wanted to ask if there were any other invasions from Henir's Order after the restoration of the Large El?
Denif:Not after Hennon. However, the El became more unstable since the incident last time with Henir's Passage.
Denif:The El is more vulnerable at this time, so we must stay vigilant.
Aisha:I see. Is that why you're keeping watch?
Denif:Of course. It's my duty as an El Master.
Aisha:(Haha... You say that when all the other El Masters are off doing something else...)
Denif:Is that the only buisness you have with me?
Aisha:Um, no... I actually wanted to ask if I could take a look at the fused El that Hennon used.
Denif:Are you also looking for a way to go to the Demon Realm? Do not try anything reckless. As I have told you before, the fused El is nothing but waste.
Aisha:Oh! Uh, I'm not trying to use it to open a portal! The thing is... I thought it might be useful in tracking the Dark El.
Aisha:It probably won't be that accurate, with it fused with the Primal El and all... But as long as it reacts to the Dark El...
Denif:Then it would be useful in tracking the Dark El in the Demon Realm.
Aisha:Exactly! So I wanted to take a look at it, and gain insight from you.
Denif:Hm...
Denif:There's no need.
Chung:Oh... Ah...
Denif:What I mean to say is that I already have a device that could potentially track the Dark El. If you need it in your journey, I will provide it for you.
Chung:What? There's already a device like that?
Aisha:Why do you have such a device...? Did you predict something like this would happen?
Denif:No. But you said the Dark El seems to work similarly to the El. Then this device should help.
Denif:I was already planning on handing it over to you once everyone comes back... But there's no reason not to give it to you now.
Chung:It almost looks like a pocket watch.
Denif:It reacts strongly to the energy of the Water El. It was used to find bodies of water long ago.
Denif:If the Dark El is similar to the El, it should point in the direction of the Dark El once you are in the Demon Realm.
Aisha:I see! Do you think the Dark El also holds elemental attributes like the El?
Denif:I cannot guarantee it does, but I do suspect it is worth an attempt. At the very least, it should have a better chance of working than the corrupted energy waste.
Chung:A watch... No, I guess it's closer to a compass. What does it look like inside?
Denif:I cannot show you at the moment, as I have put a seal on it.
Chung:Is it difficult to unseal?
Denif:Not exactly. The problem lies in the fact that it uses a special seal. If I unseal it myself, I would be the only one that could use it.
Denif:In order for you to use this device, you must enter the device and release the seal yourself.
Chung:How can we enter such a tiny thing...?
Aisha:A space expansion magic...? That must be some special seal.
Denif:So, what would it be? If you wish, I will transport you into the device.
Aisha:W, wait, what's in it? What are we supposed to do?
Denif:Hm...
Denif:I do not know.
Chung:Huh?
Denif:I am not certain how the 'thing inside' will react. It will react differently depending on who is attempting to unseal the device.
Denif:It may act harsh, but I am certain you will manage it just fine. I can only advice you should be mentally prepared.
Chung:What could possibly be inside this thing...?
Aisha:Sigh...! Alright! A mysterious seal by the Sage?
Aisha:The Genius Girl Magician Aisha will unseal it, no problem! Let's go, Chung!
Chung:... Alright.
Denif:Then I will open the way. I wish you best of luck.
Lu was able to piece together the information from Rose's message. Chung and Aisha shows Denif's compass to everyone.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Chung:... Errr.
Chung:Did something happen when you went to see Master Rosso?
Rena:Your cloths are all burnt, and you look worn out!
Lu:Rosso, that rude imbecile was antagonistic to the end! We just wanted to ask how to get to the Demon Realm, and he started lashing out for no reason!
Rose:I heard Master Rosso was very worried about us when we were trapped in Henir's Passage. Apparently, he insisted that they had to help us out. I thought he was very considerate.
Lu:Who said such nonsense! As someone who actually met him, I cannot agree one word of that rubbish statement!
Aisha:So? What happened? Did you learn how Master Rosso went to the Demon Realm?
Ciel:Yes. He told us that Elrios became unstable during the El explosion creating many rifts. He just jumped into one of the rifts and ended up in Varnimyr.
Chung:Oh... I guess that's not a viable option for us, then. We can't exactly cause another El explosion just to go to the Demon Realm...
Elesis:Yes. We can only hope that those who went to find the demon engineer come back with good news.
Elesis:I'll go meet the priestesses. It's only a matter of time before the demons invade Elrios again, so I need to send a message to Velder.
Lu:We didn't expect much going in, but it's still disappointing. If only we knew what's going on in the Demon Realm at the moment...
Rose:Actually, I have something to tell you on that matter.
Lu:Oh? What is it?
Aisha:When the three of you went to see Master Rosso, Rose went to look for a way to communicate with the Demon Realm with Master Ventus's assistance.
Rena:Oh yeah! How did that go?
Rose:We managed to receive a message sent from the White-Ghost King's territory. There was a lot of static, so Zero and I were trying to figure out the missing pieces.
Zero:This is what we've got so far.
Zero:[This is Au--ra. We've found the soul. Return immediately, Rigomor is safe. Do not reply. They may be monitoring us.]
Zero:We had to fill in a lot of blanks, but that should be the gist of it. We listened to the recorded message thousands of times just in case!
Rose:We did have some difficulty, but do not exaggerate, Zero.
Chung:Thank goodness, Rigomor is safe...
Rena:But they may be monitored... I guess they're under heavy scrutiny. At least it seems like Berthe hasn't harmed them yet.
Aisha:They're probably in too much of a hurry. Remember when he showed up in Ruben that one time to take the El?
Rena:He was also alone in Rigomor as well. But he had an army in Feita... What's the difference? What does he have to hide?
Aisha:That's it! I think Berthe doesn't trust his subordinates. He'd use them only when necessary. Right now, he must be focused on searching the soul fragments.
Lu:Which is why he's leaving Rigomor alone at the moment... Insolent beast! Every move he makes irritates me to no end!
Zero:That's all we've got so far. If only we knew the site of operation, or the location of the soul fragment... It would have helped a lot.
Lu:Hm... It's just a speculation... But I believe the site of operation is at the west most territory of the White-Ghost King.
Ciel:What? How did you know that? If I remember correctly, Winster didn't tell us anything.
Lu:That thing they mention in the beginning of the message is likely Aurora. The White-Ghost King's territory is the furthest north of all the territories. Its chilling wind never stops howling.
Chung:The furthest north... I guess that's why Rigomor was so cold.
Lu:I remember what Aegrip told me one day. That the land furthest west of the White-Ghost King is a barren land everyone avoids, but you can see the most beautiful aurora there.
Lu:... Isn't it an ideal hiding place for the people who lost their lord?
Zero:That makes sense. They're likely using a codename to hide both the sender and the receiver. Using 'Aurora' as a codename is probably ideal in concealing the exact location of their base.
Ciel:And from what Lu just said, the site of operation is probably well hidden from Garen.
Lu:...Thank you. We managed to learn so many things, including the current situation in Rigomor.
Zero:And it's all thanks to the fantastic, magnificent Zero!
Rose:I've only done what I had to do. It's still vague and broad, but we might be able to contact Winster and Nichel once we have assistance from the demon engineer.
Lu:Yes, that would be ideal.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Rena:Um, Lu. Can I ask you something about the Demon Realm?
Rena:Are there any demons that look like an elf like me, excluding the dark elves in the Demon Realm?
Lu:Hm... There are so many species and kinds of demons that I cannot say for sure. Why do you ask?
Rena:You know when Master Ventus came to us in the Demon Realm? Lincy said she saw an elf there.
Lu:How strange. Even if that's true, how did the elf end up in the Demon Realm?
Aisha:It's not completely out of the question. Since demons were involved in many things in Elrios before we knew their existence.
Lu:Like that strange laboratory in Elrianode? But it's strange. If demons had the power to jump dimensions...
Lu:We would have invaded Elrios ages ago. Aegrip is truly an exception.
Ciel:Maybe they were swept by Henir's rift like Rosso. It's not too out of the ordinary for an elf to survive that long, right?
Aisha:(Or maybe... This was done by a 3rd party.)
Aisha:......
Rena:What are you thinking about, Aisha?
Aisha:Mm... Huh? Oh! I was just waiting for an opportunity to tell you!
Aisha:Chung! Show them the device!
Chung:Yes!
Chung:We got something that might help us locate the Dark El in the Demon Realm. Here, a compass.
Aisha:It's supposed to point in the direction where it senses strong water energy. If the Dark El also has elemental attributes like the Large El, it should point us in the direction of the Dark El once we're in the Demon Realm.
Rena:I see...! That's great! But where did you get such a thing?
Aisha:Master Denif. He said it was a keepsake of his mother.
Rena:I wonder if it's ok for us to take such an important item. It shows that he puts a lot of faith on us, but...
Chung:We'll just have to return his faith with results! Let's find the Dark El, completely restore the Large El, and stop Henir's Order!
Ciel:That's the spirit. Feeling better now?
Chung:Yup! Haha... Sorry, I guess I was a bit down lately.
Ciel:To tell you the truth, you looked like a sad puppy out in rain.
