Chung: It's amazing. There's no water, and it seems like there's enough air.
Ciel: How strange for a space like this to exist under water. Lu, have you heard of a place like this?
Lu: Hm... I can't say I have.
Lu: But look at this place. It was clearly made to stay hidden from the public eye. It won't be easy to find places like this even if you tried.
Ain: Oh? Something interesting is floating past the window.
Ara: It's amazing! You can see a school of enormous fish swimming by.
Raven: Are they the same species as the one we've fought earlier? We'll have to face those again if we leave this place.
Rena: Sigh, well at least now we know what to prepare for.
Eve: Wait, there's more. There's a passage connected to this space below.
Rose: Hm? There's something on the floor.... Rails?
Elesis: An artificial space beneath the sea, with built in rails... It must have been built to serve some kind of purpose.
Chung: Do you think demons moved something using the rails?
Ciel: Then that something might be at the end of this tunnel.
Add: A tunnel hidden away like this? This smells trouble no matter how you look at it.
Add: The fact that there's a rail in a place like this means whatever they had to move was important, and they had a lot of it.
Elsword: We were originally going to rest then head back out, but what do you think?
Chung: I think it's a good idea to check on the tunnels. Since there's no sign of life, we shouldn't come across any enemies, right?
Raven: There's some merit to investigating. If we're lucky, we can figure out where we are.
Aisha: Yeah, I would feel better once I know where we are.
Elsword: Alright then, let's follow this rail. Then we can just follow this back.

Eve: The machines in here are not that advanced.
Eve: Most require manual handling. It's fascinating how this tunnel can handle the water pressure with this kind of technology.
Ara: There's some kind of pattern on the wall... But it's been worn down with age.
Lu: This is...
Laby: Mrmrmr... Huh? Where is this?
Eve: Ah, I see you woke up. Moby, Remy, please check her condition.
Laby: Whoaaa!! You're the El Search Party, right? Are you Elsword??
Eve: ... She is in optimal condition. In fact, she seems very lively. And if you're looking for Elsword, he's over here.
Rena: Huhu, aren't you lively. Since it looks like we have a long way to go, why don't you introduce yourself on the way?
Laby: Ok! Laby also has a lot of question to ask about the El Search Party!
Elsword: Hey, I'm Elsword. So you're from Elrianode, right?
Elsword: Thanks to your help, the monsters were stopped before they made it to Elrianode. It's kinda late, but thanks.
Laby: I'm Laby!! And this is my trusty friend, Nisha! So I'm here to help with Bellonde and Ignia and... Well everyone from Elrianode!
Add: She must have no friends if she calls that strange thing a friend.
Ain: Is it so strange to talk to a floating object? I thought it was normal considering Mr. Ancient does it all the time.
Ciel: Wait... Bellonde? Who is Bellonde?
Laby: Bellonde? Bellonde gave Laby a name!! Laby heard Bellonde slept for a very very long time. He told Laby that he has to be in Elrianode!
Aisha: He slept for a long time? And what do you mean, he has to be in Elrianode? Could it be...?
Laby: Well, everyone in Elrianode called Bellonde, Gaia!
Elsword: The Earth Master Gaia! Of course! Just like Master Denif said, all the masters from outside the barrier are gathering in Elrianode!
Ara: Did you also meet Master Ventus and Master Rosso? Are they safe?
Laby: Uh huh! They're both in Elrianode! Rosso used to be all sickly, but now he's suuuuuuuuper healthy and always fighting with Ignia!
Add: Not surprising. It's obvious that he has a problem considering how he just picked a fight with everyone when we first met him.
Rena: Ahaha... Well, I'm just glad that they've arrived safely.
Raven: So now there are four El Masters in Elrianode.
Aisha: I was worried that Elrianode will be impacted negatively with the sudden shift in Henir's Realm, but with that many masters and the priestesses, I guess there's nothing to worry about!
Laby: Anyway, where's this? Laby promised Master Denif to bring the El Search Party to Elrianode...
Elsword: Um, well... No need to panic, but we're in the Demon Realm. We were caught in the dimensional rift and ended up here.
Laby: This... Is the Demon Realm...?
Lu: Of course, you're startled. Who would've thought they'll end up in the Demon Realm?
Ciel: Mm, well... She doesn't exactly look 'startled'.
Laby: Nisha!! Did you hear that? We're in the Demon Realm!! Laby didn't think we'd make it here like poof!
Chung: Ah, she looks... Really happy.
Laby: Well, you see, Rosso said Laby is from the Demon Realm!
Elsword: Rosso said that? Does that mean you're... A demon?
Lu: I don't sense any demonic energy... The Fire Master said you're from the Demon Realm?
Laby: Rosso said the energy in Laby is something he felt in the Demon Realm, but different from demonic energy! Like it was mixed with something?
Laby: Laby was in the Black Forest for a very long time, so Laby's not sure where Laby's from, or who Laby is! But Laby was able to leave the forest recently thanks to Elsword!
Rena: The Black Forest is where the Shrine of Dedication is located in Feita... Wait, thanks to Elsword?
Laby: Uh huh, Laby was able to leave the forest after a blue light went Flash!!! And Master Denif said that light happened when Elsword restored the El.
Laby: It was very lonely in the forest by myself, but now, Laby is meeting everyone which makes Laby happy!
Ain: (The Black Forest... It's where a temple was built to subdue the overwhelming demonic energy.)
Ain: (I thought it was strange that a forest dense with demonic energy existed in the land, blessed by the Goddess, but I never expected a being from the Demon Realm was bound there.)
Laby: Laby wants to know where Laby is from! If Rosso is right, then Laby can find out who Laby is in the Demon Realm!
Laby: Oh! But Laby promised Master Denif to drag the El Search Party back to Elrianode, so that comes first!
Add: Is she even aware that we were the ones doing the dragging here?
- Zzzzt zzzt-
Ara: I heard a strange noise!
Eve: There wasn't any life forms... Perhaps it's an unwelcomed guest that managed to go past my sensors.
Raven: It would be bad if there's a problem with the tunnel. Let's investigate the noise for now.
Laby: Uhh? Laby still needs twelve introductions!! Wait!!!
