Chapter 39: Winster <Bottom Level>

Chung, Luciela, Ciel, Rose and Ain decide to head to the bottom part. Luciela talks about her initial hatred for the Elrios continent and her disinterest, though Ain has his thoughts as well. Chung has slight hope when he learns that Helputt may have changed locations. Eventually, after the conversation with demons, Ain starts to doubt himself, and wonders if he's going face the change.

Description

Chung, Lu, Ciel, Rose, Ain head towards the lower parts of the abandoned factory with Winster to collect the materials.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Zero: This is where you collect the energy source for the submarine and the machines in the tunnel?
  • Chung: There are a lot of creatures we haven't seen up there.
  • 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.
  • Rose: Looks like these creatures are reacting to the icerites. Are these the creatures you were talking about?
  • Winster: All the monsters here consume icerites. Some mutated because of the amount of icerites here, while others consumed icerites from the start. They grow, absorbing the toxin from the icerites, then use it to protect themselves from their natural predators.
  • Ain: So they've adjusted to their environments? How fascinating.
  • Ciel: This is not the time to stay fascinated. With so many of them here, others must be having trouble as well.
  • Winster: Once we start operating the digger, the monsters will come. Please keep them away from the machines.
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Lu: Hm... All these resources and this plant, was this all Aegirp's idea?
  • Winster: No, we've found them when we arrived in Rigomor, and built from there. Is something on your mind?
  • 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.
  • Chung: (If the White-Ghost King was worried about the portal falling into the wrong hands... Does that mean the White-Ghost King, at the very least, did not wish to invade Elrios?)
  • 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.
  • Winster: I understand how you feel. We were surprised when we first learned of her plan as well. In fact, I was against trading with Elrios.
  • Ciel: You were against it?
  • Winster: Back then, Elrios was just one of many ways to release my anger, and a stepping stone to reach our goals. I didn't even think about the possibilities.
  • 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?
  • Chung: How is that possible? Elrios and the demon realm are separated. How can you have hatred without the connection?
  • 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?)
  • Winster: Even with our objections, lord Aegirp has successfully established a trading relationship. If she were a 'normal demon' then it's likely we'd never have been accepted as subordinates in the first place.... That's the kind of demon I worshiped. Not bound by old customs, and a virtuous, strong ruler. For someone like that to be betrayed like this...
  • Lu: But there's also someon like you who wish for her return. Such loyalty will shine brighter in the darkest times. You have no need to blame yourself.
  • Ain: ......

Price of Betrayal

Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives
  • Complete the Icerite Mine story quest
Description

His eyes burn with silent rage as the loyal follower speaks of the bitter betrayal.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Zero: This plant... Isn't it too big to be containing just the portal and the soul?
  • Winster: Ah, so you've noticed. Right now, we use it as a gateway into the laboratory... But the reason why we've built this place was to create weapons and the energy source for those weapons.
  • Ciel: Weapons... Is that to take revenge on the traitors?
  • Winster: Should there be any other reason?
  • Ain: You've said the White-Ghost King ended the war. Are you this is what the White-Ghost King wants?
  • Winster: It has crossed my mind. I'm sure this isn't the path my lord would endorse.
  • 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.
  • Chung: So you're living for vengeance...
  • 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.
  • Chung: If this place was so important... Why was it closed down?
  • Winster: ... Because of an incident that happened with the gas.
  • Chung: An incident? Was someone hurt?
  • 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: Thankfully, they still have the drive... But it's not easy to find resources on this barren land. The only way to assure our victory is lord Aegirp's revival. But as someone who've accepted both races and ended the long standing war... I'm not sure if Aegirp would wish for revenge... Of course, our lord will likely wish for peace.
  • Ciel: Then?
  • Winster: But she will punish those who betrayed her accordingly. That is enough. Those who betrayed her will pay their price.
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Chung: Um, Winster. You said, you've maintained the tunnel to use it to move to the surface, right? Was there anyone before us that found themselves there?
  • 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?
  • Winster: Yes, I've released the proto-types we were building here.
  • Ciel: I did think it was rather violent for a transporting robot.
  • Winster: Of course. It's important to keep the place secure, after all. Who knows what kind of dangerous beings would make it in the tunnel? If you were any enemy, that would have been devastating.
  • 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.
  • Chung: Ran?! Ran was here?
  • Winster: So I've heard. Are you looking for him?
  • Chung: I'm looking for the black-armored knight that's with Ran. Have you heard anything about 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.
  • Chung: N, no. It helped plenty. Thank you! (Ran's near...! I might be able to find father at last!)

Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives
  • Complete the Price of Betrayal story quest
Description

Winster is collecting information from the surface. Ain doesn't know what to think of his cooperative attitude.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Lu: If you heard such rumors... Does that mean you have a way to communicate with the surface?
  • Ain: So it was a lie, when you said you didn't know anything from the surface.
  • Winster: Haha, actually, we have a temporary base up on the surface. It's not completely settled, as we're operating discreetly to avoid detection... But the Garens from the village are helping with carrying the message and the mission. Nichel helps out a lot in the operation.
  • Ciel: Collecting the information from the surface... You said you had ways to revive the White-Ghost King without our help.
  • Lu: A path far more dangerous and difficult that me lending my hand. Did you plan to seek for Aegirp's soul directly?
  • Winster: Yes. We were going to proceed with the plan once Nichel grows of age. She's still young, but she should be able to handle my lord's power once she's mature. After absorbing the soul here, it would have been a long journey, since we do not know the actual locations of other fragments.
  • Rose: How accurate is the information? Even with our help, it should take a long time without proper guidance.
  • Winster: I should explain. Before the betrayal, she informed each of her most trusted subjects the location of each fragment. That location was somewhere precious to her subjects. For example, mine was the secret laboratory.
  • Ciel: Is the important thing that your son mentioned earlier, the White-Ghost King's soul?
  • Winster: Yes. That's why I was desperate to know what happened to Calonne, as he would know the location of another fragment.
  • Rose: That's why you wished to hear Laby's story.
  • Ain: (Telling us the location of the soul fragments, that only the most trusted followers of the White-Ghost King were made aware? He's suspiciously cooperative. Does he have an ulterior motive? Or is it because demons also believe in faith.)
  • Lu: Seeking the soul fragments while avoiding detection from the Garens? You're more reckless than I thought.
  • 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.
  • Chung: I will also do my best to help!
  • 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?
  • Lu: Yes, yes. Let us hurry.
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Zero: This icerite... It's mostly made of water and gas, but it crystalizes in cold climates.
  • Chung: It combusts when it comes in contact with water, right? So I guess we're only able to mine them because of the air layer here.
  • 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: ......
  • Ain: Mr. Half-Demon, why are you staring at me like that?
  • Ciel: I've been thinking since the tower at Varnimyr, but... You seem more... amicable towards demons. Just now, for example. Before, you wold have said demons were amazing, even as empty flattery.
  • Lu: Hm... Ciel's right. Your disgust was almost tangible, but you seem less repulsed. Is it because of my grandeur?
  • Ain: Haha, do you mean delusions of grandeur?
  • Lu: Wh, what did you say?! I take back what I said! Ciel! He didn't change at all!
  • Ain: (The hatred that was imprinted within me... Must have lessened enough that others notice. They said demons were born with hatred against angels and Elrios. If that hatred is of the same origin as the hatred angels hold against demons... Then perhaps the hatred that demons hold, are created by the gods governing the demon realm. But the goddess never informed me of these things. Was it too much information for a mere messenger to handle?)
  • Lu: Ain?
  • Ain: (Luciela R. Sourcream. A demon with little to no hatred towards Elrios and the heavens. She also accepted that it's natural to hate her, for the sole reason that she's a demon. The hatred demons hold instinctively towards the heavens, the hatred I hold toward demons... If that's the case... When all this hatred is gone, will I still be an 'angel' just like she's still a demon? Or... Will I be something else entirely...)
  • Lu: Ain!
  • Ain: Yes?
  • Lu: What are you thinking about, with such a serious expression on your face. Are you worried about something?
  • Ain: Not particularly.
  • Lu: Huhu, be honored, I will personally listen to your troubles!
  • Ain: Mr. Dog, when will the mining process be over?
  • Lu: Don't you dare ignore me!
  • Crash!! Grrr Crack!
  • Ain: Calm down, it's not something you should get angry over. I always thought you should fix that temper of yours.
  • Lu: You know I'm not the one making that noise!
  • Ciel: What is it?
  • Zero: Be careful guys, something's coming!
  • Chung: Is that... a giant hermit crab?
  • 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.
  • Chung: It's similar to the ones we've defeated earlier... But much bigger. Do you think it's angry that we've dealt with the smaller ones earlier?
  • 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!
  • Rena: Haa! I think so too!
  • Chung: Re, Rena?
  • Ain: Welcome, Ms. Elf.
  • Rena: Yeah, good to see you again, but let's take care of this uninvited guest first, shall we?
  • Lu: I second that notion. Now, let's handle this quickly!

Reassemble

  • Complete the Source of Hatred story quest
Description

The disturbance of the lower area of the abandoned factory cause the El Search Party to reassemble.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Elsword: I thought this was like the machines we saw in the tunnel, but it was a creature!
  • Ara: I thought so too, since we were fighting machines all this time, and it carries a large machine.
  • Elesis: The center had moving machines?
  • Elsword: It's a long story. What was it like up there?
  • Rena: Well, let' just say we learned Elesis's genuine side.
  • Elsword: Huh? What about my sis?
  • Elesis: It's nothing!
  • Rena: Huhuhu... What about the lower levels?
  • Ain: Nothing much. I did receive an important life lesson though.
  • Elsword: ... Just what were everyone up to?
  • Ciel: Anyway, it seems we've collected enough icerite, but I wonder if the machines are still safe after the mess.
  • Ara: I believe so, since the machines at the center were fine? Oh! Where is Haivan?
  • Ciel: Speaking of, I don't see him. How long was he gone?
  • Winster: No... Did he get tangled up in the battle earlier...?!
  • Haivan: What's up? Everyone ticking?
  • Add: You act like you didn't run away as soon as everything happened.
  • Haivan: Awww, what's that for? After all the time we've spent together!
  • Ain: Haha, I suppose Mr. Kid's time run differently from ours?
  • Haivan: I just thought it was best to create the energy capsules right away with the ground shaking like that. If the refiner is broken, we have to stay here until we fix it, or build a new one, and we can't have that, can we?
  • Winster: ... You are right. Good job, Haivan. But don't worry us. Now we can head to the portal. It's not that far, so let us hurry.
  • Lu: ......
  • Haivan: Father, I'll handle everything from here, so you should go back and rest. I just need to have them check, right?
  • Winster: I will rest once everything's done.
  • Haivan: ... Don't you trust me?
  • Winster: That's not it. I've already told you how important this is to all of us.
  • Haivan: ......
  • Lu: ... Everyone listen. Once the portal is running, you should return to Elrios. I will stay here.
  • Haivan: ... What?
  • Elsword: What are you talking about Lu? I thought we already agreed not to do that.
  • Lu: ... I'm sorry to go back on everyone's decison. But I didn't make this decision lightly. I've thought it over since I've suspected Aegirp's situation.
  • Raven: Why did you make such a decision?
  • Lu: Where do you think my home is? The demon realm is my home. I've already reached my destination. Since my goal was to reclaim my throne and punish Barkat, I have no reason to return to Elrianode.
  • Add: So you're leaving since you've got everything you wanted?
  • Lu: It seems that way. I'm suprised you're still here. I always thought you would be the first one to leave.
  • Add: ... Hmph.
  • Lu: So... I will help the villagers here, and revive the White-Ghost King. Then, I will go reclaim my throne. Since I have no idea how long this might take, I do not wish to involve you with my troubles. And I'm sure you've already felt this, but the demon realm is vast, and we have too little information. We can't always rely on luck to be on our side. So, doesn't it make sense that I, as someone who knows the demon realm best, act as your link to the demon realm?
  • Ara: Lu... But it's so sudden.
  • Haivan: Yeah, it's really sudden. Plus, we don't know what will happen when we operate the portal. We also need to move the White-King's soul some place safe...
  • Lu: Hm? Why are you startled? It's not like I'm parting with you. And I'll take care of the soul. That's what we initially agreed on, anyway.
  • Elsword: ... You agree too, Ciel?
  • Ciel: No need to feel so sad. You're going to come back to the demon realm to find the Dark El, right?
  • Lu: Don't worry, it's just a short farewell. When you come back, finding the Dark El will be like going on a picnic.
  • Ciel: We're not saying goodbye forever. We'll meet again soon.
  • Elsword: In that case... Alright. I've never had to do anything like this, so I'm not sure what to say.
  • Lu: We don't need to say anything. When you come back, you'll be stuck with us again.
  • Eve: Both of you... Ugh... This noise...
  • Elsword: Eve?! Are you alright?
  • Chung: Were you injured?
  • Eve: I'm fine. I wasn't injured in battle. I must have overexerted myself.
  • 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.
  • Ciel: I guess this wasn't the right time to idly exchange goodbyes. You should return to Elrianode immediately.
  • Haivan: ... Give me the gem. You're in a hurry, right? I'll activate the power system so you can check right away.
  • Aisha: (He's so cooperative all of a sudden. I thought he was going to object earlier.)
  • Eve: I'm fine. There's no need to do this for my sake...
  • Haivan: It's going to take forever and a half to explain how the portal works. It's faster if I do it myself. I did say it might be dangerous, but it should work properly. You just need to come and check. Wouldn't this be easier for you as well?
  • Elsword: Alright. If that's fine with you.
  • Haivan: Leave it to me, I'm an expert! Father, I'll take care of everything, so you go back and rest. Nichel? Take him back, ok?
  • Winster: Haivan?
  • Haivan: I'm leaving him in your care, ok?
