Quest Completion Dialogue
  •   Zero: Hmmm, let's see. This is the right direction, but it's blocked. Let's go around this way.
  •   Eve: You have quite a wide search range, Zero.
  •   Rena: What about you, Eve? I'm sure you can search a large area with Moby and Remy's help.
  •   Eve: Yes, but I don't use it often.
  •   Eve: I need to send the drones far away to do a wide-scope area search, but then I can't help them if they are attacked.
  •   Eve: In contrast, a situation in which an enemy appears in front of me after I sent my drones away is not ideal as well.
  •   Elsword: I cannot imagine Moby and Remy not being by Eve's side.
  •   Zero: Haha! That's how amazing this Zero is! I'm honored to be complimented by the Queen of Nasod!
  •   Rose: Your searching function better be good as a navigator. Unlike Eve's drones, you're useless in battle.
  •   Zero: What do you mean? I'm not useless in battle!
  •   Rose: Oh? How so?
  •   Zero: I keep my distance while following to make sure you can focus on battle! Do you know how difficult that is?
  •   Rose: That's amazing. I have to agree. You're ability to run away in an emergency greatly outshines your ability to search.
  •   Noah: ... That machine is amazing. If only you could move around on your own, Clamor.
  •   Clamor: I admit, I'd love to move around feely, but what if I get separated from you? I'd feel much better by your side like this.
  •   Noah: Do you feel better now?
  •   Clamor: Of course not. Watch your step over there, and keep your eyes ahead. You might fall over.
  •   Ain: Haha, the ground is uneven. We do have to hurry, but everyone watch your step.
  •   Ara: .......
  •   Eve: Ara, you haven't said anything. Is something on your mind?
  •   Ara: Oh, yes. I am slightly worried.
  •   Eve: Can you tell me what you're worried about?
  •   Ara: Ah... Sure. Somene told me, when I had no idea what to do moving forward.
  •   Ara: What you believe as justice was established by someone with power. So you must pave your path with your own hands.
  •   Ara: ... She said power, was an important standard in determining justice.
  •   Ain: Sounds harsh.
  •   Ara: Haha, maybe. I'm sure she was only trying to get her point across.
  •   Ara: But the more I thought about the advice, the more I questioned if I were supposed to interpret at face value.
  •   Ara: Perhaps Eun wanted to tell me I have to know how to live doing what I want to do.
  •   Ara: So I was looking back, to see if I acted as if I were the center of balance.
  •   Eve: Center of balance...
  •   Eve: Ara, can I tell you something?
  •   Ara: Sure! What is it?
  •   Eve: It's the reason why the Nasod War broke out. Adam learned that humans' reckless Nasod production greatly reduced El energy.
  •   Eve: He believed further abuse would lead to extinction, so he prepared an army and gave humans the ultimatum.
  •   Eve: But, as you know, the result was disastrous.
  •   Ain: The war between Nasods and humans led to even more abuse of the power of the El, and led to unprecedented tragedy.
  •   Eve: Adam's judgement was logical. Massive production of Nasods would lead to accelerated consumption of El enrgy, leading to sure extinction.
  •   Eve: Foolish, greedy humans, unaware of the future right before their noses...
  •   Eve: He would have thought it appropriate to take away their control over the Nasods.
  •   Eve: But... We all know what his decision led to.
  •   Ara: Mutual destruction... Everyone suffered in the end.
  •   Eve: I have thought about this for a long time. How I would resolve the issue if I'm faced with the same dilemma.
  •   Elsword: ... Did you find an answer?
  •   Eve: No. But... I realized Adam made one crucial mistake.
  •   Eve: That he thought he was an observer standing outside the balance.
  •   Ara: The balance...
  •   Eve: Adam tried to resolve the issue himself, and believed himself in a position to do so.
  •   Eve: But in the end, he, the humans, and the Nasods are all part of this world.
  •   Eve: ... You could say, Adam's mistake was miscommunication.
  •   Ara: .......
  •   Ara: I usually like to take a step back and observe. I keep my opinion to myself, because I've been taught to be cautious.
  •   Ara: But when I heard the advice... I thought I could have purposefully written myself out of the occasion.
  •   Ara: Staying silent when determining what is just... In the end, means you, yourself, don't bring anything to the table.
  •   Ara: Conversation... My will, and the determination to express myself and move forward.
  •   Ara: What's important wasn't power, after all.
  •   Eve: That might not always be the case. Sometimes, power can be more important than anything else.
  •   Ara: I too, am being on top of a balance, with my will and value on trial.
  •   Eve: Sometimes, you might be the neutral party acting as the judge.
  •   Ara: But wherever the balance tilts may not necessarily mean it's right.
  •   Ara: Do you think it's arrogant to think a mere human on the balance seek true justice?
  •   Eve: That would mean the only just being is god.
  •   Eve: Ara, you and I don't share everything in common.
  •   Eve: Still, I don't think my goal to rebuild the Nasod Kingdom and to find a path of harmony differs too greatly from your own path.
  •   Elsword: ... We're all here looking for a better path.
  •   Elsword: ... Sorry to interrupt, but I think we're almost there.
  •   Ain: The energy I sensed... You're right. It's very close.
  •   Rena: Everyone, get ready and brace yourselves.
  •   Noah: Yes!

Quest Completion Dialogue
  •   Eve: I feel something familiar. Is it just me...?
  •   Rose: Rena! Watch out!
  •   Rena: Took care of it! I'm alright!
  • (PSSHH...)
  •   Elsword: Oof, it's exploding again. Take cover!
  • (BOOM!)
  •   Noah: Ugh! Cough, cough!
  •   Ain: This is a mess. What is that? I didn't even know it was alive before we got close.
  •   Ara: At the very least, we know Ran's not here, and that's not the Dark El.
  •   Eve: Yes. I believe it was created by condensing Varnimyr's mystic stones.
  •   Rena: He sure did go all over the place. This is not going to be easy.
  •   Noah: The Moon El... Even if it's just a shell, I don't want to see it being used like this.
  •   Elsword: That thing is guarding the fake El. Is that also Ran's lackey?
  •   Eve: You can't see it right now, because it's covered... But I'm worried about the crack on the fake El.
  •   Rena: Red Demon King! Do you have a visual from up there?
  •   Red Demon King's Eye: Hm... I can't see all the details, because most of the trace is gone, but I believe that's a spell used in sacrifice rituals.
  •   Elsword: Sacrifice?!
  •   Rose: Ugh, is that safe? We're fighting inside the circle!
  •   Rena: It should be fine! I don't sense anything happening right now.
  •   Clamor: She's right. It's a magic circle that activated and served its purpose. You don't have to worry about being affected by it.
  •   Eve: But... It can't be made for anything good.
  •   Clamor: A sacrifice was given to something, which means there's a recipient. I wonder who that would be.
  •   Clamor: Or, should I say 'what'...
  •   Ara: Ran is the only one who could have done this.
  •   Eve: We checked that Ran is somewhere to be found. That means he left the fake El and did something, then left.
  •   Eve: Perhaps... the fake El was used to expand the Abyss?
  •   Ain: I think so, too. No matter how resourceful that damn demon is, I don't think he has the power of expand the Abyss.
  •   Rena: The sacrifice ritual. It's been activated, and the power was leaked due to the crack on the fake El... Eve, I think your prediction is right.
  •   Noah: It was used as a sacrifice to the Abyss...
  •   Elsword: I'm glad we figured that out. But that still leaves the most important question.
  •   Ain: What is that bug that's attached to the fake El?

  •   Noah: (What is this? It feels cold... and lonely.)
  •   Rose: Elsword! Watch that mineral!
  •   Elsword: Ugh, I can't! It's too late for me to take care of it!
  • (FLING!)
  •   Rena: Tada! I took care of it!
  •   Ain: Great timing! That was amazing, Ms. Elf.
  •   Rena: Huhu, thank you for your ardent support!
  •   Rena: (Raven was right. Everyone slowed down, but I'm not feeling any different.)
  •   Rena: (Actually, I feel lighter as time pass by. Strange...)
  •   Rena: (I was more sensitive to demonic energy than anyone before the Abyss.)
  •   Rena: (Am I adapting to demonic energy?)
  •   Rena: (.......)
  •   Rena: ... Alright, gang! Let's push it through! There must be a way to get around this!
  •   Ara: That creature seems to be communicating something. Is anyone else feeling this?
  •   Noah: Yes. It sounds like a sorrowful cry...
  •   Eve: It's ultrasonic waves. From the energy, it's no ordinary creature.
  •   Red Demon King's Eye: Hm... Mm...? Oh! I remember now. I haven't seen a live one before, so I wasn't sure.
  •   Ain: Do you know what that is?
  •   Red Demon King's Eye: It's a Myuriconus. I thought it went completely extinct, but I guess there was still one around.
  •   Red Demon King's Eye: Myuriconus is an ancient creature with powerful life force. Some say, it's the most primal form of dragons.
  •   Clamor: (Noah, hear that? A dragon!)
  •   Noah: (Shh, we should listen.)
  •   Rose: So it was known to be extinct. Then I wonder what this one's doing ehre?
  •   Red Demon King's Eye: Hm, maybe it fell when it was still a hatchling? Myuriconus stop growing and falls to a slumber when the surrounding environment is terrible.
  •   Rena: Almost like a seed that doesn't sprout until it's in the right environment...
  •   Ara: So it's still a baby despite its size?
  •   Red Demon King's Eye: Even if it's a hatchling, it's probably older than me or Luciela!
  •   Noah: Don't yo know anything useful to handle this thing?
  •   Red Demon King's Eye: You're already looking for a hint?
  •   Rena: Are we playing twenty questions now? I'd like to remind you that we're taking care of your mess.
  •   Ain: Ah! I think I understand why Ms. Demon always gripes whenever she sees you.
  •   Red Demon King's Eye: Haha, don't be like that. I don't actually know much. I'll let you know if I remember anything.
  •   Rose: He really does whatever he pleases... Oh well. Let's try to figure out something based on what we've learned so far.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  •   Rena: ...... Hey... I might be mistaken but...
  •   Rena: Is it me... Or is the energy from the fake El fading?
  •   Ain: It's devouring it.
  •   Elsword: No! What are you doing! Shoo! Go away!
  •   Ain: Strange. If it's protecting the fake El under that demon's orders, it shouldn't act like that.
  •   Rose: Maybe it's not under Ran. Didn't Lu say there are monsters in the Abyss?
  •   Red Demon King's Eye: Like Abyss Worshipers? But that one there is not an Abyss monster.
  •   Elsword: Can you talk to it? You're the lord of this land, maybe it will listen to you.
  •   Red Demon King's Eye: Hahaha, as if. Just because it lives here, doesn't mean we can communicate with each other.
  •   Ara: If you can talk to it, Ran shouldn't be able to as well. Then it's probably not acting under Ran's orders.
  •   Rena: Then what do we do? It's still eating away, and our attacks are barely doing anything.
  •   Ain: Hm. Then let's leave it be.
  • (NIBBLE, NIBBLE.)
  •   Ara: Is this alright...? I know it's just a fake, but should we leave it like that?
  •   Ain: We are no longer obligated to retrieve it now that we know it's fake. At least the fake El will be gone if we let it get absorbed.
  •   Noah: What if it turns into something even more terrifying after absorbing everything?
  •   Elsword: Even if it becomes stronger, it's still a hatchling. We should be able to defeat it, no problem. Let's observe for now.
  • (SHATTER!)
  •   Myuriconus: (KEE-!)
  • (SLAM!)
  •   Noah: Oof, not again...
  •   Rena: It's faster now, so it's harder to deal with, but I don't think it's trying to attack us.
  •   Rose: What is happening? It looks like it's in pain.
  •   Rose: It's chasing us one moment as if it wants to play, then the next, it will convulse and slam itself on the wall or on the ground...
  •   Zero: I don't like this 'play'. My life is in danger!
  •   Myuriconus: KEERURU KEERU!
  • (SLAM!)
  •   Noah: Stop it! Why are you doing this!
  •   Myuriconus: KEERURU... KEE.
  •   Rena: Oooh, that's gotta hurt.
  •   Noah: I don't think it can control its movement.
  •   Ain: That too, but its movement itself is unnatural. There must be something wrong with it.
  •   Rose: We're all moving unnaturally because of the effect of the Abyss.
  •   Eve: ... Even though it was supposed to slumber in an unfit environment, this creature still woke up even in the Abyss.
  •   Elsword: Then this one must have woken up because of the energy of the fake El.
  •   Elsword: Even after absorbing the power, the Abyss is still posing a threat.
  •   Noah: How sad... Like a butterfly trapped inside a bottle.
  •   Zero: Even though that butterfly take out humans and destroys pillars with a flap of its wings.
  •   Rena: ... I suppose we're in some ways responsible for it. To think, failing to capture Ran that time would have a ripple effect like this.
  •   Elsword: We wouldn't have entered the Abyss in the first place.
  •   Noah: Can we... Find some other way? Maybe we can avoid it.
  •   Eve: I understand why you would pity this creature...
  •   Ain: But that doesn't mean it won't spell trouble for us. Even if we manage to avoid it, it can still follow us with good enough senses.
  •   Eve: And now, there's a possibility of it being exploited by Ran, since it absorbed the power of the fake El.
  •   Myuriconus: (KEERURU....)
  •   Ara: How sad. If it weren't for the time and location... We could have resolved this peacefully.
  •   Rose: If the creature cannot handle this environment, it might be better to bestow this creature a painless death.
  •   Ara: (It's unfortunate... But is this really fine...?)
  •   Ara: (This is a matter that can lead to losing a friend, or the world. I cannot act for the sole reason that I feel pity for this creature.)
  •   Ara: (Let's think. My thoughts... My will...)
  •   Ara: (A way to resolve this situation to carry them out...)
  •   Ara: ... I want to lead this one outside. Can you give me some time?
  •   Ara: Even if we defeat it here, the energy of the fake El that the Myuriconus absorbed will remain in the Abyss and affect it.
  •   Ara: The only way to get rid of it completely in a way not to affect the Abyss is to take this creature outside.
  •   Eve: It's not completely unfeasible. The limit of the eye, and the effects of the Abyss...
  •   Eve: If you consider everything, there is one person who can take this creature outside.
  •   Rena: Do you mean to lure the creature out yourself? I object.
  •   Rena: It's going to take along time going back and forth, and if the Abyss Worshipper attack on the way, you wouldn't be able to lose them on your own.
  •   Elsword: .......
  •   Ain: What do you think, Elsword?
  •   Elsword: I get what everyone's saying. I want to set this guy free too.
  •   Elsword: If we are successful in our plan, this one would disappear with the Abyss.
  •   Elsword: ... We came here to make sure Elrios won't go through the same things again. We made sure to keep the sacrifice to the minimum since we came to the Demon Realm.
  •   Elsword: I don't want anyone to go through what we had. No matter who it might be.
  •   Elsword: We might be in a hurry, but let's not make a hasty decision. Someone's life depends on it.
  •   Clamor: .......
  •   Elsword: Ara, you thought of a way, didn't you?
  •   Ara: Yes, but I need to check with Rose and Zero on whether or not it would work.
  •   Zero: Huh? Me?
  •   Rena: Then you need someone to keep it distracted? I'll go. Are you with me, Ain?
  •   Ain: Alright.
  •   Elsword: We'll leave it to you. But hurry, we don't have much time.
  •   Ara: Yes!
