Rena:Really! They were freaking out. When I told them I saw an Alterasia in Altera Island, they insisted to look me over in case I brought a spore over.
Aisha:Is it really that dangerous? Oh, I guess the one that we saw was modified to be really strong.
Rena:Well, even if it weren't modified, it could be real trouble for places like Ruben where there are a lot of trees and animals. Which is why they got all worked up.
Rena:Sigh... But with the El back in place, it seems things are finally back to normal.
Aisha:The forest animals have calmed down?
Rena:Yes. The spirits, too. And the Phorus... well they are still going around causing trouble.
Aisha:Nothing changed in that aspect.
Rena:Haha! Tell me about it. Well, I suppose they are going to mature one of these days.
Rena:Sigh... But this isn't the end. When the Elder summoned me warning about the weakening connection and headed to Ruben, Ruben's El was still in place.
Rena:That means the link between the Spirit Realm and Elrios weakening was not because Ruben's El was stolen. Which means that link will progressively grow weaker.
Rena:Restoring Ruben's El is not enough. Plus, what we learned about demons and the Demon Realm in Altera...
Rena:I get the feeling that I'll have to leave the forest again soon.
Rena:... Oh, how's your investigation on demons going? Now that I've finished my report, I think I can help!
Aisha:I'm actually here because of that. Let's go. I'm sure everyone's waiting.

[Empty Field Near El Tree]
Elsword:Oh, I didn't realize it's so close to my house. Did it change since I left to find the El?
Elsword:I suppose... I did stay at the dorms since I joined the El Search Party, so it makes sense it's so unfamiliar.
Elsword:...
Elsword:... Dad left first. Then it was Sis. And now...
Elsword:I joined the El Search Party and retrieved the stolen El. I can pull my own weight as a swordsman of this kingdom. Though it's a little too late...
Elsword:I'm never going to stop until I catch up to them. I'm not going to lag behind.
Elsword:...
Elsword:Ack! Being close to my house is bringing up old memories! I should go back.
Eve:Yes. Isn't it slow to react? It looks well due for a maintenance.
Raven:...
Eve:...
Raven:Why should I trust you? There's no telling what else you'd do.
Raven:Don't bother. No need to try and play nice when we both know we don't like each other.
Eve:...
Eve:... I am the one who found the core and reactivated it.
Eve:It looks like Adam... King Nasod followed his programming for a while, researching Nasods and attempting to rebuild the Nasod Kingdom.
Eve:He built mining, and excavation Nasods for construction and collected El shards and magic stones that will act as an energy source. There was no battle Nasods... until now.
Eve:... I am not trying to make excuses, saying that he sensed a certain danger, and how he made decisions accordingly.
Eve:I believe his actions stemmed not only from his hatred toward humans, but from misunderstandings. That's why I will not repeat his mistakes.
Raven:...
Eve:As the Queen of the Nasods, I feel responsible for the actions Adam has committed to you.
Eve:But I also respect your wishes. You have reasons to reject the Nasods.
Eve:You don't have to accept my offer, but if you need my help, I will assist you in the best of my abilities.
Raven:...
Eve:...
Aisha:Wow, heeaavyyy.
Rena:Oh! You're... Eve, right? Nice to see you again. When did you arrive at Ruben?
Eve:I have just arrived. You are...
Rena:Call me Rena.
Eve:Yes, Rena. I also... am glad to see you again. I heard from the Ponggos that you have come this way.
Aisha:Where's Elsword? Is he late?
Elsword:I'm here!
Rena:What were you doing? You're all sweaty.
Elsword:Guarding the El and training.
Aisha:I'm glad the El is stable. Anyway, now that we're all here, let's get to the point.

Raven:... My Nasod arm?
Eve:Yes. Isn't it slow to react? It looks well due for a maintenance.

Eve:Yes, Rena. I also... am glad to see you again. I heard from the Ponggos that you have come this way.
Aisha:Where's Elsword? Is he late?
Elsword:I'm here!
Ain:We meet again.
Rena:What were you doing? You're all sweaty.
Elsword:Guarding the El and training.
Ain:I followed to see how the El is doing.
Aisha:I'm glad the El is stable. Anyway, now that we're all here, let's get to the point.
Aisha:Since Eve is here, I'll start from the beginning. I visited a nearby village to learn more about demons.
Aisha:There were suspicious rumors going around even before the El was stolen. Something about attacks and missing persons...
Aisha:I thought it's possible that some of them were related to demons.
Raven:Ah, I believe the incidents that happened around Elder or Bethma are...
Aisha:Yes. Most of them were rumors about the Black Crows.
Raven:... I have no words.
Aisha:That's when I met a soldier from Feita near Bethma Valley. Or... more like found him unconscious.
Elsword:Feita? That's where the shine is located where the El Lady performed a ritual. Did something happen there?
Aisha:It's strange how knowledgeable you are on subjects that relate to the El. Anyway, his name is Allegro, and he said legions of monsters came swarming out of the Shrine of Dedication.
Aisha:He asked Velder for reinforcements, because Feita's army couldn't fight them off, but they didn't respond. So he hurried to Bethma for help.
Rena:Were they actually demons? They really exist?
Raven:... King Nasod was speaking the truth...
Eve:...
Rena:Is Stella sending reinforcements?
Aisha:Ah, you see... Bethma doesn't really have any manpower to spare. She looked like she had a lot on her hands just trying to keep a handle on Kayak's supporters.
Rena:So she asked us for help?
Elsword:Alright, let's go.
Aisha:... I knew it. Not even a moment of hesitation.
Raven:If this is a demon invasion, we need to nip it in the bud.
Eve:I agree. Now that I know Adam's worry was not unfounded... I wish to act at once.
