Chapter 56-1: Split Path

Breaking through into the next layer of the Abyss, the group find diverging leads, the faint traces of El energy Chung's compass points toward and the distressed claw marks left behind by Vasili. The group decide to split up.

[Village] Familiar Feeling

Description

While everyone had a foreboding feeling, Ain remembered the time they sensed something familiar in the past.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • (DRIP... DRIP...)
  • Noah: This is very different from the upper floors. It's like a whole new world.
  • Aisha: Where is all this light coming from? Another spell I don't know?
  • Eve: It's not magic, Aisha. One of the components in this area must include a glimmering element.
  • Rose: It's almost like a natural cave in here. Do you think there are living creatures in here?
  • Elsword: Maybe monsters. It may look pretty, but it feels stuffier down here.
  • (RUMBLE RUMBLE....)
  • Rena: That sound seems to be coming from afar.
  • Laby: No rumble rumble on the ground either. The ground here must be though!
  • Raven: Makes sense. If the grounds shifted, the cave would have collapsed.
  • Elesis: If the upper floors are collapsing, then maybe the lower levels here are stable enough to have developed a unique atmosphere.
  • Raven: But there are cracks in the ground. There's no guarantee that it's safe here.
  • Ara: What abut the trails left by Vasili? Can anyone find it?
  • Noah: Found it! Over here.
  • Rena: That was quick. You have good eyes.
  • Raven: ... Rena. Can I have a moment?
  • Rena: Hm? Sure.
  • Raven: Are you feeling alright? You're not dizzy?
  • Rena: Oh! I'm feeling alright. Were you worried because of what happened earlier? It's fine.
  • Raven: Good. That's all I needed to hear. I was worried you might be straining yourself.
  • Rena: Straining myself? Not at all. Why did you think that?
  • Raven: ... You seem... light on your feet.
  • Rena: Huh? Isn't that good?
  • Raven: Hmm...
  • Raven: I was watching others, and everyone is noticeably slower since they entered the Abyss except for a few exceptions like Eve or Lu.
  • Raven: Since you always seemed to struggle in the Demon Realm... I thought you might be pushing yourself to look fine, even if you were having a hard time.
  • Rena: Ah...
  • Raven: I'm glad that's not the case. I apologize for meddling.
  • Rena: Oh... No. Thanks for your concern...
  • Rena: .......
  • Ain: (The trail... It's definitely still going. But...)
  • Ain: (Is this the right path?)
  • Add: (My head is heavy. My ear is ringing since I've entered the Abyss.)
  • Add: (And this foreboding feeling... This is really troublesome.)
  • Elsword: I found another trail. This time, it's everywhere.
  • Aisha: Wha, there's mineral shards all over the floor. Everyone, be careful not to trip.
  • Elesis: The messy trail and the shattered minerals... Was he on a hurry?
  • Rena: But thanks to him, we were able to come down here quickly. If it were just us, we'd still be up there somewhere.
  • Raven: We've made it down quite far. Just a little further.
  • Ain: ... Excuse me, everyone? I would like to check something.
  • Eve: What is it, Ain?
  • Ain: Just a hunch I have. Ms. Queen, if you will do the honors of searching this area?
  • Elsword: What is it? Something around here?
  • Ain: I have a feeling. A bad feeling... that we've missed something.
  • Noah: Did we make a wrong turn somewhere? But the trail is still going on...
  • Ain: That's why I thought I might be mistaken, but I can't shake it off. It's too familiar a feeling to mistake.
  • Ain: It's the same feeling I felt when those demon bastards messed with the El in Feita and Velder.
  • Rena: The Dark El? You sense the Dark El?
  • Eve: I believe... It's that way. There's an outlier coming from that direction. Ain, does that match what you're sensing?
  • Ain: Yes. What do you mean by an outlier?
  • Zero: It means she found something, but the data is so unreliable that she can't 100% guarantee what you've found is the Dark El.
  • Zero: It could be the Dark El, or another similar energy source, or a creature... Or none of the mentioned.
  • Elsword: And that data doesn't give a straight answer?
  • Add: If you wanted answers to fall on your lap, you should have bought a magic 8 ball.
  • Add: Data is just a collection of information. You need human analysis and judgement to use them in any meaningful way.
  • Ara: Analysis and judgement...
  • Raven: The energy Ain and Eve sensed is the opposite direction of where we're headed.
  • Ara: But... It's not too out of place. Ran did have the shell of El. Maybe that's what Ain sensed?
  • Rose: It must be the reason Chung's compass pointed to the Abyss as well.
  • Aisha: True. You're right... But then why is it coming from the opposite side of where Vasili headed? Didn't Vasili chase Ran?
  • Chung: ... What if Ran went separate ways from the shell?
  • Elesis: That's possible, but why would he do that? It's beneficial for him to hold on to it.

Description

Laby's suggestion was curious, but it allowed everyone else to notice the oddity.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Laby: Hey, Lu! Laby has a question!
  • Lu: Hm?
  • Laby: Can you do eeya! like this with your claw! The same way Vasili's trail moved.
  • Lu: Hm? What re you saying?
  • Ciel: Oh, I'd like to see that as well, Lu. Something's been bothering me.
  • Lu: You too, Ciel? Mm... Alright. I'm not sure what you're up to...
  • Lu: Let's see... ... Hm, ... Hm? Huh... eh, erm?
  • Lu: I'm not sure how he left this trail, but it's quite difficult.
  • Chung: Difficult?
  • Rose: Come to think of it, it is strange. Look here. He was following horizontally, until this point when he suddenly lowered his arm and marked downwards.
  • Chung: Oh, the trail left is unnatural. I wonder why he did that?
  • Lu: The trail in the upper floors were even, while this is in every direction... It's as if he was thrashing all over the place.
  • Ciel: I see. It's clear after seeing Lu's movement. He did not intentionally leave this mark.
  • Lu: It wasn't intentional?
  • Ciel: No. Look at this trail.
  • Ciel: Straight line parallel to the ground until... a sudden curve downwards.
  • Ciel: That means he was going straight until he quickly lowered his body, but why would he do that?
  • Ciel: But say, he was leaving this trail... until he lost his balance and fell?
  • Rose: ... There's a stab mark on the ground near the trail. This must mean...
  • Rena: He was attacked?
  • Add: We can't be certain, but it's definitely strange for a trail left for someone to find.
  • Aisha: Don't be ridiculous... Maybe he tripped because of the bumpy ground. Let's take another look around.
  • (CRACK!)
  • Aisha: Huh? I stepped on...

  • Aisha: .......
  • Ara: That's... a familiar pair of glasses.
  • Chung: W, we must hurry!
  • Elsword: ... Damn it. We should have definitely left him an eye.
  • Red Demon King's Eye: Tell me about it. Then I might have witnessed something worth watching.
  • Elesis: Stop that. Anyway, it seems we'll have to check both sides.
  • Raven: There's no time to hesitate. We have two eyes, so let's split up. I'll follow the trail.
  • Elsword: Then I'll follow the signal of the El.
  • Elsword: Be careful. We don't know how Vasili was attacked.
  • Elesis: You guys watch out as well. If it truly is the El shell, then it might be more dangerous that way.
  • Chung: We'll rescue him as fast as we can and join you. Be careful...
