Story/Chapter 29: Difference between revisions

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''... How concerning. I have no idea what that stone is for... nor what they could possibly use it for. Are they truly the Henir fanatics...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''I am not certain what their plan is, but they may have figured out something that they couldn't in the past due to recent circumstances.... Just like Henir's Barrier that appeared when Elrianode was restored.''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''... It's possible. Since they worship Henir, they must need Henir's power.... I can't even imagine where they would need the enhanced power of Henir... This can't be good. Using this suspicious object as well... They must have been plotting something for a very long time.''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''I wish I knew, but I have zero knowledge of how it could be done. I could probably get more information if there were other Masters around. Unfortunately, I am the only one left in Elrianode at the moment. I wish there were someone that understood the power of Henir.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''That's right!! There IS someone, Master Denif!''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''Kuhuhu... I'm everywhere but nowhere. Just look at the sky, isn't it a wondrous mess? Henir's power leaking outside and mingling... Now that's something I've never seen before. Is this also your doing?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''N, no!! ... It was like that since Elrianode was restored.... We did restore Elrianode, though...''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''You may think Henir is dangerous because it's the opposite of Elria, but it's actually not what you think. Elria created this world using Henir's Chaos and chaos is an infinite source of energy. So, this world already contains some aspects of Henir.''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''Extinction. Henir symbolizes infinity, but at the same time, the power to turn everything into nothing. Your mortality is the very proof of Henir's influence.''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''I can't believe this monstrosity thing is just rolling about... Something interesting must be happening, Kuhuhu... There is no way for you lot to know, this something that should have never been introduced to the outside world. Whoever had this must be having a blast... Kuhuhu.''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''I used to call this the "Seed of Life", I'm not sure what it's called now.''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''Well, it's true that it gives a new life after all. Kuhuhu. That's why I was going to seal it, but someboy must have got a hold of it. They even tinkered with it...''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Ah, the Seven Tower... I've heard we, the Landar family, were once part of the Sever Tower. But I thought the Seven Tower was an ancient organization... Whoa, you really are an ancient man, Glave...''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''Oh? You're a Landar? What a surprise. A long time ago, when the Seven Tower was first founded, the head of the Landar family was the first advisor of the Seven Tower. They were outstanding even among Elrians. Well, they left the Seven Tower right before I got incarcerated. Kuhuhu...''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Hmpf, let's be honest here. It's not like you're actually scared. You face the terror of Henir everyday.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''I was once trapped inside a ruin full of books. Some of those books happened to be written by Debrians.... And there, I read the research files of the ones you mentioned. But it was well hidden that the materials I found barely even filled one book.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''If you have SUCH a good reason to not tell us anything about it, why don't I just share what I know? Some researchers of the Seven Tower conducted a forbidden experiment, using highly sophisticated knowledge. The forbidden research involved Henir's power. They were interested in ways of obtaining a highly concentrated El's power using Henir's power. If that research was successful, it would have had a huge impact on the whole Elrios continent.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''... Debrians opened a passage from Elrios to the core of Henir. Purely by accident. Were you part of the experiment? You caused a lot of chaos, didn't you? Kukuku.''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''... I thought you were all just a merry band of idiots, but as it turns out, one of you is a SMUG idiot! Let me correct one thing. I was not part of the experiment. I just got to witness the unusual change as I'm Administrator of Henir's Time and Space. If you knew all this, you couldn't have been clueless about the Seed of Life... Why did you even come to see me? Are you the type that likes wasting time?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''... Aren't they kind of similar...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''I know... They're both sarcastic... Is this the normal behavior of smart people...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Um... I don't do that...''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''So, the Henir's Time and Space you're managing now is the passage that was open back then?''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''No, the place you used is a fraction of the inner world of Henir. If the entrance to the core of Henir were here... Elrios would have disappeared already.''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''Really? I'd like to see you try. Before you even begin, you're very existence will be devoured by the chaos of Henir. Kuhuhu.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Glave, please! Please tell us! If we don't find it now, Elriod will be...''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''Hu... Hahahahah. You're definitely amusing to watch. I fancy your gut. Alright, I'll give you a hint. Henir's Passage is under the Ancient Elrian Palace. It was a secret experiment conducted inside the palace.''

*{{StoryIcon|Glave}} '''Glave:''' ''...... Help them...? Me...? Impossible. It's just an excuse to her....... On behalf of myself from the past.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Mm... Though I assured grandpa about it in the Hall of El... Actually, the Ring of Mimir is a very important relic that I must retrieve and protect.... I also promised my friend... and I lost the bastard under my nose... Ah, it's frustrating...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''You look so depressed, it's no like you, Aisha! At least we found out that the one who stole your ring is here, right? So we'll find it soon. Stop worrying!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''N, no~ It's nothing like that... Just someone that was closer...... Like the Wind Spirit...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''The Wind... Spirit? Aren't the spirits everywhere? It's quite strange that a spirit would exist near Henir's Time and Space...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Maybe I was just imagining things. It doesn't make sense that a spirit would be in a place like this. Let's report our findings to Master Denif.''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''The Seed of Life... I can't believe this is such a horrendous object... The Seven Tower was known to be an organization that trained the top elites of the Elrian Kingdom... I didn't suspect they were creating such a dangerous object there.... Unbelievable.''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''Actually, they have invaded the El a few times before the great explosion.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''They are coming from... the outer district of the city. It seems like they are gushing out from the dark rift that appeared out of nowhere!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''A dark rift...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''We'd better defeat the monsters and find the cause. Everybody ready?!''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''... It looks like the dark rift is empowering the monsters as they pass through. So, they're using the Henir energy from the rift? Damn it...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''...!!!''
