Quest Completion Dialogue
  •   Betty: ...... .......
  •   Diana: Betty! What's wrong? Nervous? Hungry? Should I give you gold coins?
  •   Victoria: As you can see... The Bettys are refusing to act as our eyes.
  •   Stirbargen: That won't do. Not that I had high hopes.
  •   Stirbargen: Now then, which one of you would it be?
  •   Victoria: .......
  •   Diana: ... Mrr, I...
  •   Vasili: I'll go.
  •   Diana: What? You can't!
  •   Vasili: There's no other choice. We can't have the Queen leave the tribe.
  •   Victoria: ... Yes. Sorry.
  •   Vasili: Those who aren't awakened will have a hard time enduring it. Plus... If something happens, we need at least one Awakened one to support the Queen.
  •   Vasili: It's better that I leave as the unstable one. I'm the only acceptable candidate.
  •   Diana: If something happens? Don't say it like that.
  •   Vasili: It is what it is. Right now, we have a problem and we need to find a solution.
  •   Diana: .......
  •   Stirbargen: It's decided then? Let's get a move on... Hm?
  •   Stirbargen: Oh? Now this is an interesting turn of events.
  •   Victoria: Huh? What do you mean?
  •   Stirbargen: We have guests. Let's go greet them.
  •   Lu: Tir! What are you doing here! Just what are you up to!
  •   Ciel: Calm down, Lu. This is Red Demon Territory. He's right at home.
  •   Laby: Oooh? Laby haven't seen you before. Hello! I'm Laby!
  •   Stirbargen: Hello, long time no see! Have you grown? Though I see Lu's still tiny.
  •   Stirbargen: ... And now you have a suspicious being in your group.
  •   Laby: Uugh...? Are you talking about Laby?
  •   Victoria: You were still here? I'm sorry to tell you, but we're about to leave this place.
  •   Raven: You're leaving the village? Is it because of what we've found?
  •   Stirbargen: Oh? What did you find?
  •   Raven: We found a strange phenomenon as we were passing Ran's Castle. Lu said it was dangerous, so we thought you should know.
  •   Lu: ... We found Abyss. A massive one, not too far from here.
  • [After Exiting Shadow Earl's Castle.]
  •   Ara: I... can't believe it.
  •   Chung: A, and then he showed me the safe way out of Red Demon Territory.
  •   Chung: I'm sory about Aren leaving. I should have stopped him...
  •   Ara: Don't worry. I'm not angry at you, Chung.
  •   Ara: Aren... How could he leave without a word. I didn't think he'd be so headstrong.
  •   Ara: He must still think of me as a child. Even though I'm no longer that naive young girl I once was! He didn't think he could rely on me!
  •   Chung: I, I think you are very reliable! Truly!
  •   Aisha: I understand how Ara's feeling. I didn't think Aren would leave like that without a word.
  •   Eve: It would have been great to talk more and share more information.
  •   Laby: Maybe he suddenly remembered something to do?
  •   Ciel: ...... Hm.
  •   Ciel: Hey, I'm sensing something odd. Do you feel anything, Lu?
  •   Lu: So you feel it, too. It's a massive current of demonic energy.
  •   Lu: It's a familiar feeling... If it's what I think it is, we should be on our guard. It's not something to be taken lightly.
  •   Ain: .......
  •   Rena: Ah, hey? Is everyone feeling alright?
  •   Rena: No one's feeling sluggish, or have sudden chills?
  •   Rose: Hm? Ah... No. Not at all.
  •   Laby: Laby's feeling peachy! Is something wrong, Rena?
  •   Rena: Is it just me? I'm sensing something strange from earlier. Like shivers down my spine, and feeling a bit woozy...
  •   Aisha: Are you ok? Perhaps we should take a rest.
  •   Ain: (... It's a repulsive feeling.)
  •   Ain: (Something I haven't felt since Feita.)
  •   Rose: It might be fatigue from traveling uphill.
  •   Rose: Let's rest while scouting around. Oh, is that dark thing the sea of the demon realm?
  •   Chung: Something doesn't seem right.
  •   Raven: It doesn't make sense that the sea would be located here... Wait here. I'll go check it out.
  •   Laby: Laby will go, too! Laby knows about sea!
  •   Noah: Um... ... Are you alright?
  •   Rena: Totally. Sorry if I worried you. I'm sure it's nothing.
  •   Rena: I'm just on edge because it's been oddly quiet.
  •   Noah: What do you mean?
  •   Rena: You see, there are spirits in the demon realm as well. Even though they don't like to come near us.
  •   Rena: But I haven't seen any... for a while now.
  •   Eve: It's strange. We also haven't encountered any beasts since we've left Magmelia and Ran's castle.
  •   Eve: If the spirits are also gone... Then there's truly nothing here. It's oddly... empty.
  •   Ara: Maybe it's always this empty?
  •   Elesis: I don't think that's likely... If there's nothing here, there's no reason for the Dream Demons to do business here.
  •   Add: Who knows. Maybe they're that bad at business.
  •   Chung: W, wait. Something's wrong! The compass is pointing a different direction all of a sudden...
  •   Elsword: Hey, everyone! Come check this out! There's something weird here!
  •   Aisha: Wait... That's... W, what?
  •   Ciel: Aren... Just where were you leading us?

  •   Add: What we saw was a massive pit. It was overflowing with demonic energy.
  •   Aisha: It was sure intimidating. Ugh...! It felt like I was getting sucked in, just from looking at it.
  •   Chung: It looked very close, despite the distance. I kept checking where I was standing, to make sure I wasn't standing at the edge of the cliff.
  •   Elsword: Lu thought we should warn you when she saw it, so we came back.
  •   Victoria: So you found it, too. We knew there was a small Abyss around here for a while now.
  •   Victoria: It was too big to take care of it, but we thought it might disappear on its own since it hasn't increased in size...
  •   Vasili: Is that... why you've come back? Just to warn us?
  •   Elesis: Yeah. It sounded really dangerous. All the beasts and spirits probably ran away because of the Abyss, too.
  •   Elsword: We don't know how dangerous this Abyss is, but you should be careful, since your village might be affected.
  •   Vasili: Aah, I... see... Thank you...
  •   Lu: Hmph, what are you doing, standing as if you belong here.
  •   Stirbargen: Don't mind me. I'm just listening.
  •   Aisha: Oh, uh... So, about that Abyss... We don't really know anything about it other than the fact that it's dangerous. Could you tell us more about it?
  •   Victoria: As you've seen, Abyss is a pit where demonic energy flows out. It appears all across the Demon Realm, but you can find more around here.
  •   Victoria: It's not that common, so I'm not surprised it's the first time you've seen it.
  •   Lu: Yes. It used to appear in my land as well. But Abyss itself it quite a rare phenomenon.
  •   Lu: Even rarer still, in Varnimyr and Aegirp's land. So it must have slipped my mind.
  •   Rena: Something like that just appears without warning? I wouldn't be able to sleep from worrying about it.
  •   Diana: It's fine! We have some resistance to the demonic energy of Abyss. Not a lot, but enough to buy us time.
  •   Vasili: We would have tried to get rid of it, if the Abyss was in its early stages... But that's no longer an option.
  •   Victoria: Abyss starts off small, but continues to grow. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule.
  •   Victoria: It might remain the same for hundreds of years, or disappear before the day is even over.
  •   Laby: Maybe, maybe not. So it does whatever it wants!
  •   Diana: Yes. But there's one common trait. No matter the size, the demonic energy from Abyss is very dense.
  •   Victoria: The kind that will make you lose consciousness from merely approaching it. That's why even the greatest demons avoid Abyss.
  •   Vasili: There are monsters and curses in Abyss. It's best you never approach it.
  •   Stirbargen: Heading inside Abyss on your own basically means you forfeit your own life!
  •   Ain: The reason why we haven't encountered any beasts in Red Demon Territory, and what Ms. Elf and I felt... They were all effects of that Abyss.
  •   Chung: There's so much information, it's difficult to take it all in. So, what you're saying is that we shouldn't go near that Abyss?
  •   Laby: But the Abyss is right in the way of where we have to go! Should we go around it?
  •   Stirbargen: Hmph, wishful thinking.
  •   Stirbargen: But you guys have potential! Why don't you challenge the Abyss? It'll be fun!
  •   Lu: Hey now! Who are you trying to drag into danger!
  •   Vasili: ...... Excuse me.
  •   Vasili: I do know a way out of Red Demon Territory by going around the Abyss. If you'd like...
  •   Elsword: What? Of course! You'll be doing us a favor.
  •   Stirbargen: Ah ah.
  •   Vasili: Or... not...?
  •   Lu: Don't pressure the child.
  •   Raven: There's no reason for us to go all at once. We'll go check out the premises while you rest here.
  •   Rose: This book... Let's see... This is the only part that's legible. 'A Story I Heard When I Was Young'.
  •   Rose: 'In the beginning, they say, only a small darkness existed in a desolate wasteland.'
  •   Rose: 'A lonely point, an opening in the earth, a handprint left by god.'
  •   Rose: 'It swallowed the lands and grew.'
  •   Rose: 'And we crawled out of it, or so they say.'
  •   Rose: 'The visage of sin, that which escapes the long darkness and crawls out towards the light.'
  •   Rose: 'Cursed being, return back to the beginning.'
  •   Laby: So spooooky. What do they mean, cursed being?
  •   Rena: All the stories in the Demon Realm seem to have an ominous feel to it. Like that song Lu sang to us in Varnimyr.
  •   Victoria: That's legend for you. I did hear a theory that all demons originate from Abyss.
  •   Victoria: That only monsters exist in Abyss, but when they left, they obtained identity, will, and knowledge.
  •   Aisha: Genesis? It doesn't seem so scary anymore from that angle.
  •   Rena: Is that so...? It seems too grim, don't you think? And the speaker seems to have changed.
  •   Chung: .......
  •   Elsword: Chung. Are you alright?
  •   Chung: Yes. Did I miss something?
  •   Aisha: Not really. Just worried you're feeling uneasy because of the compass.
  •   Chung: Ah, it's fine. I was just thinking about what the Red Demon King said.
  •   Chung: When we went near the Abyss, the compass suddenly moved, as if it were snatched by something invisible.
  •   Chung: After that, it hasn't stopped pointing towards the Abyss.
  •   Aisha: I'm glad you're not feeling uneasy, but yeah... It's strange, isn't it?
  •   Chung: I imbued the power of my guardian stone into the compass. That means the compass is pointing towards something that has similar properties to that of the El.
  •   Aisha: Like the Dark El?
  •   Chung: I'm not sure... But it's possible. Our purpose it to check if the Dark El is fit to completely restore Large El and to retrieve it, if it's a match.
  •   Elsword: But we can't go there. It sounds too dangerous.
  •   Chung: Yes. That's why everyone's searching for a way to go around the Abyss. I understand.
  •   Chung: But... I still want to confirm with my own eyes. I don't know what it is, but if we don't check, the compass will continue to point to the Abyss.
  •   Aisha: Chung....
  •   Chung: If I said I wished to go on my own...
  •   Elsword: .......
  •   Elsword: Don't be stupid. If you try that, I'm going to stop you.
  •   Aisha: Elsword! Don't be so harsh...
  •   Elsword: I don't think it's the Dark El. And...
  •   Elsword: If you have to go, we're all going together.
  •   Chung: .......
  •   Ara: Hey, everyone?
  •   Ara: We have much to tell you. Will you all come this way?

Quest Completion Dialogue
  •   Ciel: ... Hey, isn't this too much of a detour? It will take 3 times our estimated time frame.
  •   Vasili: This is the only safe path you have. The path through the neutral zone Aren gave you is now blocked due to the Abyss.
  •   Vasili: If you stray too far from the path, you'll end up in other Dream Demons' territory.
  •   Add: You make it sound so ominous... but why is this such a big deal?
  •   Vasili: .......
  •   Vasili: The short cut you've chosen will force you to enter two different factions.
  •   Vasili: One is under jurisdiction of Queen Medovine, the holder of nine golden hearts. Everything is a gamble here. Even your life.
  •   Vasili: The Queen of Golden Heart... A collector who hoards anything precious.
  •   Vasili: I cannot imagine what kind of value she'd attribute to those from Elrios.
  •   Ain: A hoarder... Then we could potentially end up as her collection.
  •   Vasili: Beyond the Queen's territory is the hunter's land. There, the Torta Brothers are in charge. They're truly ruthless.
  •   Lu: ... Why are you whispering all of a sudden?
  •   Vasili: Most of us are from there. We were able to escape under the condition that we seal the power of our eyes.
  •   Vasili: You saw the scars on Ikus's faces. Please don't mention this around others.
  •   Vasili: They'll all be... scared.
  •   Lu: I thought there mght be a story behind it, but I had no idea. Does that mean you're from somewhere else? You don't seem to have a scar.
  •   Vasili: ... Pardon me, Steel Queen. I do not wish to burden you with my personal, pitiful story.
  •   Raven: Understandable. Then let's get back to the topic at hand. These Dream Demons must be very hostile for you to react like this.
  •   Vasili: Yes. But who they are really doesn't matter. You should never go against any group that doesn't fear death.
  •   Raven: But... Is there no other way? This forces us to deviate from our path too much. It will take weeks just getting out of Red Demon Territory.
  •   Elesis: We can't exactly wait for the Abyss to close, since we cannot predict when or, even whether it would close...
  •   Ciel: This is quite cumbersome... If only the Abyss would just disappear one day.
  •   Stirbargen: Ha! That is an option, you know. You just have to get rid of the catalyst that abruptly expanded the Abyss!
  •   Lu: I told you not to interfere.
  •   Elesis: Red Demon King. You seem to be eager to send us to the Abyss. What's your game?
  •   Stirbargen: I was waiting for you to ask me the question. Aww, don't look at me like that. I just wanted to ask you for a deal!
  •   Add: It's not like we're on friendly terms.
  •   Stirbargen: Haha. Still, a friendly greeting goes a long way. Who knows? Maybe I can be useful along the way.
  •   Stirbargen: The Abyss is in a critical state. It's expanding faster as time goes on.
  •   Stirbargen: It's more threatening than any other Abyss I've seen before. At this rate, the entire Red Demon Territory may be swallowed up by the Abyss before long.
  •   Stirbargen: If I don't do something... I may have to call myself the King of Abyss.
  •   Eve: I understand that the situation is worsening, but I don't see how that concerns us.
  •   Stirbargen: Hey, hey! I'm getting there! Slow down.
  •   Stirbargen: What if I tell you... The culprit behind the one expanding the Abyss is no other than our dear friend, Earl Ran?
  •   Ara: .......
  •   Stirbargen: Hm? How about it? Interested?
  •   Ara: ... I...
  •   Ara: I think this is a matter we must discuss all together. I will bring the others.
  •   Elsword: ... I don't buy it. You said it yourself. Entering Abyss is basically like forfeiting your own life.
  •   Stirbargen: Tell me about it! I was surprised to. I know Ran is called the Earl of Abyss, but it's not like he can actually do much in one.
  •   Ara: But didn't you say that demons from Red Demon Territory are used to Abyss...?
  •   Stirbargen: We do. That's why we live here despite its occasional holes. But entering one, is a whole other story.
  •   Stirbargen: If he did manage to conquer the Abyss, I'd also like to know how.
  •   Noah: He could have charged in recklessly?
  •   Noah: I don't know since I haven't actually met him, but he could have been desperate.
  •   Stirbargen: Yeah, I don't think so. He looked like he had a clear goal. I believe he acquired something...
  •   Stirbargen: I suspect he's planning to use that something to manipulate the endless demonic energy of Abyss.
  •   Stirbargen: That's why I was planning on using one of the Dream Demons to scout it out... When you and Luciela came along!
  •   Stirbargen: What an unexpected coincidence, don't you think?
  •   Rena: Hm? For someone who said they didn't know what Ran was up to, you sure seem to be very aware of it.
  •   Stirbargen: I suppose. Ever since I got my eye back in Varnimyr, I was watching him. I was curious what he was going to do after he stabbed my back.
  •   Raven: If you were watching Ran, you could have stopped him at any point.
  •   Raven: Then isn't this essentially from your negligence?
  •   Stirbargen: Huhuhu, I told you. I was curious what he would do next.
  •   Elesis: Hold on... But you must have another reason you left him be. Can't you take this seriously for one moment?
  •   Lu: Sigh... Believe it or not, he is likely very serious.
  •   Lu: That knave would sell his soul as long as it entertains him or satisfies his curiosity.
  •   Stirbargen: As I was saying, my purpose is to stop Ran.
  •   Stirbargen: The demonic energy from the Abyss is immense, and unknown... even rumored to be the origin of demons.
  •   Stirbargen: I don't know how Ran plans to take that power... and if it's even possible... But.
  •   Stirbargen: If he succeeds, there wouldn't be a single entity that can defeat Ran. Both the Demon Realm, and Elrios.
  •   Add: So you want to get rid of him before he tries to take over your throne?
  •   Stirbargen: Huh? Not necessarily. I actually think it's impressive.
  •   Stirbargen: Hahaha! Just how far can Ran take this? My heart is pounding from anticipation!
  •   Elsword: What...? You're... excited?
  •   Stirbargen: Of course? The most powerful in the universe, who masters the demonic energy of the Abyss! It's essentially the return of the demon god from the legends!
  •   Stirbargen: To actually witness its birth... It really thrills me.
  •   Stirbargen: Oh... But there will be nothing left after that.
  •   Raven: What do you mean?
  •   Stirbargen: Once Ran becomes indisputably invincible... Who would be left to defeat him?
  •   Rena: Wait, I can't follow your logic at all. Can you explain this step by step?
  •   Rena: Do you want to encourage Ran, or stop him?
  •   Stirbargen: Neither, really. Ran is not the important factor. I want demon lords, and the defeat of demons lords.
