Chapter 38: Deal for Return

They make an emergency landing, due to the number of members, which hasn't been this high in a long time. The party meets Haivan, the son of Winster, and decide to retrieve the core. After getting back the core, Haivan is shocked to learn that Luciela is the Steel Queen. The group learn that Aegirp had traded with the Elrios continent. Lu considers going by herself, but Elsword and the group would rather stay together, and they, along with Winster and Haivan, decide to head to the laboratory to make a secret key.

Description

They decide to head towards the deep-sea.
Winster's eyes gleam as he asks the El Search Party to recover the lost power structure.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Winster: In any case, I would like to learn more about how Calonne is doing. But alas, the poisonous gas here makes this place unsuitable for such conversations.
  • Winster: If it is alright with you, I would like to invite you all to our village. I'm sure the villagers would be happy to meet a friend of Calonne's
  • Laby: Yay! Sounds great for Laby! A friend of Calonne's is a friend of Laby's!
  • Add: Don't be stupid. We're not naive brats who follow any adults who give them candy. And how do we know if you're actually friends with this Calonne guy, or mortal enemies?
  • Laby: Eh? They're not friends??
  • Elsword: Even if they are, we have no time to visit their village. We should really try to return as soon as possible.
  • Winster: Return...? You mean to Elrios?
  • Eve: Yes, we were caught in the mutated dimensional rift while returning to Elrios. It seems to occur quite often around this area. Do you know anything about it?
  • Winster: I'm not certain if it's related, but strange things do happen around this area. Things that should be here disappear, while things that shouldn't be, appear.
  • Raven: Were there any others from Elrios who came before us?
  • Winster: I can't say I know all that happens in the sea... But this is the first time I've encountered anyone from Elrios in this tunnel.
  • Rena: Sigh... It's to be expected, I guess. The tunnel we've passed was sealed for a very long time, after all. I think the best course of action is for us to head to Varnimyr first.
  • Elesis: I don't know. Even if we do arrive at Varnimyr, there's no guarantee that this won't happen again.
  • Ara: But we have no other option. It's not like we can open a portal like the demons.
  • Aisha: ... Like demons?
  • Winster: ... Why are you all looking at me so strangely?
  • Aisha: You're a demon, right? Do you know anything about dimensional gates, or how to get to Elrios?
  • Winster: I'm sorry, we do not know much about what happened at the surface since we've been sent down here... Did somebody develop a technology that connects between our realm and Elrios already?
  • Add: ... Useless.
  • Elsword: We have no choice but to go to Varnimyr for now. Winster, you said? Where exactly are we?
  • Winster: Would you be able to trust the information I give you?
  • Elsword: Mm... Well...
  • Winster: How's this? If you accept my invitation to visit our village, I will use the special transportation device I used, to lead you to the surface.
  • Winster: I will act as your guide, and you can supervise my actions.
  • Elesis: Are you volunteering to be our hostage? What merits do we have, that you would so boldly?
  • Winster: Would you believe it if I say it's because the news of a long lost friend is very dear to me?
  • Raven: Is he that desperate to know how his friend is doing?
  • Rena: Hm... What should we do? It still seems suspicious...
  • Chung: ... He's risking his life for this, maybe we should give him a chance.
  • Elesis: Chung?
  • Chung: There's a village here that he wish to protect, right? I don't think he'll do anything to risk it.
  • Ciel: I agree. He's not in a position to take risks. And if something happens, well...
  • Aisha: I think you should stop there, Ciel.
  • Elsword: So, we're decided?
  • Add: Tsk, fine... Let's see where you take us.
  • Winster: ... Thank you for accepting my offer.
  • Winster: I will lead you to the village. This way.
  • Eve: So the special transportation device was a submarine.
  • Ara: Why do we have to use such a contraption? Is it too far to swim?
  • Winster: It's because of the powerful sea current below the tunnel. If you are swept away, you will be lost forever.
  • Winster: Of course, I suspect with your skills this is rather unnecessary, but why waste energy if there's an easier way?
  • Lu: Hmph, there's no need for flattery. But why create a village below a dangerous sea current? Is it also to prevent enemy invasions?
  • Winster: That was part of the reason, but more importantly...
  • Beep-! Beep-!
  • Elsword: W, what's going on?
  • Winster: Ah... Looks like we've exceeded maximum capacity. My mistake, it's been a long time since I had to transport so many people.
  • Lu: Maximum... Are you mocking me?!
  • Winster: We can't land by the village at this rate. After we pass through the current, I will attempt an emergency landing.
  • Aisha: Landing in the deep sea? How are we supposed to move?
  • Winster: There's a layer of air beneath the current here. It's why we've built the village underneath the sea current.
  • Aisha: W, wait! You're saying there's a space between the water and the bottom of the ocean?
  • Raven: Unless this submarine is also an aircraft, won't we crash?
  • Winster: Do not worry. I've made sure to reinforce the surface multiple times in case this happens.
  • Add: You idiot, reinforcing the surface doesn't guarantee the safety of the passengers!!
  • Winster: We are exiting the sea current.
  • Add: Damn it...!
  • Crash!
  • Winster: Looks like it was a successful landing.
  • Add: Tsk, does this look like a success to you?
  • Ara: Look outside! The sea is above our heads!
  • Laby: Whoa! So cool!! There's so many fish in the sky!!
  • Ara: I have never seen anything like this!! It's truly bea... Achoo!!
  • Winster: Just because it's beautiful doesn't mean it's a great place to live. This cold, barren, desolate winter sea...
  • Winster: We call this place, Rigomor.
  • Raven: It is... Beautiful, but the cold climate and the salt water from the sea is not suited for cultivation.
  • Ain: So it's not suited for those from land...
  • Winster: Hm? This place...
  • Ciel: Is there a problem?
  • Winster: Well, you see... The deep sea creatures here have strange... habits.
  • Winster: They collect hard, or shiny objects to build their nests.
  • Eve: Hm? There's a creature fleeing from the submarine. It seems to be carrying the... energy core?
  • Elsword: Wait, is it ok to just let them flee?
  • Winster: Of course it's troublesome. It's not an easy device to produce. We might have to drag this submarine all the way to the village if we do not have the energy core.
  • Aisha: You say that with such a straight face... All we need to do is bring it back, right?
  • Winster: ... I have one more request.
  • Winster: The reason why they've taken the energy core is merely because it's in their nature to do so. They do not intend harm in anyways. Would it be possible... Not to harm any of the creatures?
  • Lu: ......
  • Winster: If it's too difficult then...
  • Lu: ... Anyone can promise with words. Just wait here, and we'll show you. Come along, Ciel.
  • Winster: I will remain here and attempt to communicate with the villagers. Please, remember my request.
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Aisha: Ugh... There's mountains of trash everywhere.
  • Chung: Looks like a lot of the trash here flowed here because of the current. I still can't wrap my head arund the air layer existing underneath the sea current...
  • Elesis: So we need to somehow find the creature that stole the energy core here, right? I can't help thinking that we're being duped.
  • Lu: If he were planning something, he would have already done it. I reckon he's trying to figure out something, by requesting us to bring back the energy core with a condition.
  • Lu: Though I also find him slightly suspicious... Let's go along with it for now. In any case, could you make sure not to tell him that I'm a demon lord?
  • Elsword: No problem. Why? Is there a problem?
  • Lu: Nothing, so you can stop with the worry. I just wan to check something.
  • Eve: ... I have located the wave of the energy core. This way.

Description

Haivan, who introduces himself as Winster's son, leads the party deep into the nest.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Raven: The falling pillar of water... It's like a natural disaster.
  • Ara: And they're intertwined so tightly, we might lose our way if we get swept up by one.
  • Eve: ......
  • Aisha: Eve? Can you sense where the energy core is?
  • Eve: Ah, yes... No. It seems the waves are distorted within the air layer. It won't be easy searching.
  • Aisha: ...? Are you alright? If you're sick...
  • Lu: Wait, I sense someone.
  • ???: Where is it hidden? Why is this happening now!
  • Ciel: Animal ears... Is he from the same village as our guide?
  • Ara: It looks like he's searching for something. I guess Winster wasn't lying about the creatures here.
  • Eve: It's fortunate. If he's from the village, he might know more about the area.
  • ???: ...!! Who's there! Who... Intruders?
  • Ara: No! We're not intruders.
  • Rena: We're here to find the submarine's energy core because of Winster's request.
  • ???: Winster...? My father?
  • Chung: Your... Father?
  • Ciel: If you dont' believe us, you can ask him yourself. We speak only the truth.
  • ???: ... An invitation? Energy core... Then the crash earlier must have been father's submarine... And the creatures here probably took the energy core.
  • Aisha: Not bad, you were able to deduce everything almost instantly.
  • ???: Well, you know my father's name, and you smell like oil and sea water. Alright then, where's father?
  • Raven: He is at the crash site with the submarine. He said he will try to communicate with the village.
  • ???: ... And you just left him there? I mean, it's not really my problem, but I'm surprised you left him alone.
  • ???: He could be calling reinforcements with all of you here, you know?
  • Elsword: ......!!
  • ???: Hey, hey, relax. I know I'm the one who brought it up, but I'm sure it's fine. Father's the representative of the village, and all he cares about is the safety of the villagers.
  • ???: Since you all managed to come here without a single injury, I don't think we'd be able to stop you anyway.
  • Chung: ... You're saying it like it's not your problem. Isn't the village important to you?
  • ???: What? Of course it's important. I'm just stating the facts, no need to get all worked up like that.
  • Haivan: I'm Haivan. I'm the son of the village representative, Winster. As you can see, I'm a Nous.
  • Elsword: Nous?
  • Haivan: Oh, that's what we're called. Since it seems like you don't know, I guess you're not from around here?
  • Haivan: At least... Not all of you.
  • Lu: ......
  • Haivan: Whatever. In any case, how about we move together for now? You might have noticed, but I'm also looking for something of mine.
  • Eve: Do you know where the energy core might be?
  • Haivan: Since the energy core is shiny, it's more likely to be somewhere deep within the nest than a junk yard like here.
  • Lu: You're not lying, are you?
  • Haivan: Whatever for? My father's guest is my guest! Come on, I'll show you the way.
  • Haivan: The creatures here are kind of troublesome. I'll leave them up to you when they appear.
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Haivan: If you're here, you must have heard the bare minimum at least. So, how much did he tell you about the village?
  • Raven: He told us that there was a ruler who united two races, and when the ruler was betrayed, you were exiled to live under the sea.
  • Haivan: It's as expected, but he kept to the basics. From what I heard, the Garen's betrayal was a lot more... Devastating.
  • Ciel: Garen... Are they the other race that was in conflict with you?
  • Haivan: Yeah. Garen have sharper fangs and claws, and superior strength. There's no Nous that can win against a Garen on a 1 on 1 fight.
  • Aisha: Hmmm... That description really reminds me of someone.
  • Laby: Mrrrr... Laby too...
  • Rena: So, have you ever met a Garen before?
  • Haivan: Uhh... Sort of? I've met a Garen, but she wasn't an enemy. I was born after we've settled in Rigomor.
  • Haivan: There's still those who've experienced the war, but that's already like, several centuries ago.
  • Elesis: That's longer than I thought.
  • Aisha: Winster said that the ruler was betrayed. I thought the ruler might have been recovering from the way he spoke, but if it's that long ago...
  • Haivan: ... Hm. So that's what father believes.
  • Ara: What is this ruler like? We didn't even hear the name.
  • Haivan: You didn't? Any demon knows the...
  • Lu: ......
  • Haivan: Um... Sure, I guess there's someone who might know. Do you at least know the story of the Demon King and the 4 Lords?
  • Elesis: Do you mean...?
  • Haivan: Oh, so you know. Our ruler is one of the 4 Lords under the demon king.
  • Haivan: The ruler of the Northern Beasts, the White-Ghost King Aegirp, that's the name.
  • Laby: The White-Ghost King...!
  • Elsword: (Is this why Lu didn't want to reveal she's a lord? But why...)
  • Haivan: I've heard a lot about this ruler, and they were all great. A wise ruler, a compassionate ruler...
  • Haivan: My father's especially loyal. Maybe it's because he experienced the changes personally.
  • Lu: Oh? And you don't share his beliefs?
  • Haivan: Haha, now you're putting words in my mouth. Father represents the village, which means his will is also the village's.
  • Haivan: As long as I live in the village, you can say that my belief lies in tandem with his.
  • Chung: The same belief... You must really respect your father.
  • Haivan: Haha, we're almost there. These guys hide the most important stuff in there.
  • Rose: I see the energy core!
  • Add: Hmph, so you weren't leading us astray.
  • Haivan: I'm hurt. What did I do to deserve all this suspicion? I haven't done anything bad yet.
  • Trosh: Screee-!
  • Aisha: Oh! It's the one we saw earlier!
  • Trosh: Scree! Screeeee!
  • Ara: A, Aisha?
  • Aisha: What's going on...! They're using magic too!
  • Haivan: I told you they'd be troublesome.
  • Haivan: Fighting really isn't my forte, so I'll leave it to you guys.
  • Elsword: He doesn't seem like a bad guy...
  • Ara: But he can be very... Trying.

Haivan talks about the White-Ghost King Aegirp.
What is Winster thinking, serving the ruler who's barely alive.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Elsword: Phew, that should teach them a lesson!
  • Ain: This reminds me of when we made Phorus write a letter of apology.
  • Rena: Ain, that's ages ago!
  • Trosh: Scree...
  • Rena: ... Huh? Wait! What are you doing?
  • Haivan: Hm? As you can see, I'm finishing them off. You do realize they're thieves right?
  • Ara: Oh... He's much more ruthless than I thought.
  • Chung: Stop! Your father requested us not to harm the creatures.
  • Haivan: ... Father did? But if you leave them alone, they're just going to repeat the same thing.
  • Raven: Violence may be an easy way to solve things, but it doesn't solve everything.
  • Lu: My words, exactly. Besides, I've already promised Winster. As such, I cannot just let you harm those creatures.
  • Haivan: ... You're not much of a demon either, are you.
  • Haivan: Oh well. We've found the energy core, so let's go back. I found what I was looking for, too.
  • Winster: You're back.
  • Chung: Here's the energy core.
  • Winster: It must have been troublesome finding this, and you've kept your promise?
  • Lu: They were rather misbehaved. We didn't harm them too much, as you've wished, but it would take time before they break their habits.
  • Winster: ... I see.
  • Winster: Please forgive me for my insolence, Steel Queen.
  • Haivan: F, father?!
  • Ciel: ...!
  • Lu: I knew you were hiding something from the beginning. As suspected, you were testing me.
  • Haivan: ... Are you really the Steel Queen?
  • Winster: Haivan!!
  • Ara: Kya! That gave me a scare.
  • Winster: You are standing before one of the 4 rulers of the demon realm. Pay proper respect.
  • Haivan: ... I apologize for my insolence.
  • Elesis: A test? Lu, you knew from the beginning?
  • Lu: I suspect he already knew who I was the moment we met. Isn't that right?
  • Winster: Yes, although you look different than before, it wasn't hard to recognize you.
  • Winster: So initially, I was thinking about destroying the tunnels. I couldn't just stand idly knowing that the villagers will be hurt, and the village destroyed.
  • Ain: My, how extreme. Just what were you doing in the past that he'd react this way?
  • Lu: Ugh... It's not polite to ask a lady's past!
  • Winster: But now, I feel grace and dignity from you, in place of the violent intent. I was certain that now, you would listen to what I had to say.
  • Lu: I'm glad I was able to prove myself, even though the process was cumbersome. Now, speak.
  • Lu: Why did you bring me and my allies down here, when we could endanger your village?
  • Winster: In short, I wish for you to aid in my lord's resurrection.
  • Lu: As I thought, so Aegirp was also...
  • Winster: ... Others think that my lord was murdered, but it actuality, you could say that my lord is sealed.
  • Winster: When the world was changing, my lord felt there were those who threatened this world, and devised a method to keep her soul in case she is fatally injured.
  • Winster: That day of the betrayal, her soul was hidden in a safe location, and to this day, we are guarding one of her soul fragments.
  • Lu: If she's still not around, then even with all the preparation, something must have went wrong.
  • Winster: Unfortunately, with our body, we were not capable of keeping even a single soul fragment. Lord Aegirp also was not prepared for enemies from within.
  • Winster: Unless the demon in contact with the soul is powerful, the demon will go berserk. However, as a demon lord yourself, you should be able to endure it.
  • Winster: Please collect the rest of the souls and aid us in my lord's resurrection.
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Lu: ... The strong always prevails in the demon realm. How do you know I won't destroy the soul fragments to prevent the revival of the someone who rivals my strength?
  • Winster: All I can say is that if that were your intention, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
  • Add: Before you go ahead and make a deal without our consent, I just want to say I don't agree with any of this.
  • Add: Reviving not just any demon, but a demon lord? Isn't that just making our own enemy?
  • Lu: I knew you would say something like that. Do you remember what I said in front of Elrianode?
  • Eve: So the potential ally you spoke of was the White-Ghost King?
  • Lu: Precisely. Even when the Demon King was around, she wasn't the sort to pick fights.
  • Laby: Yeah! Laby heard she started a trade to be friends with the Northern Empire!
  • Eun: ......!!
  • Lu: ... What?
  • Ara: Huh?! Trading with the Northern Empire? What do you mean?
  • Laby: Eh? But Calonne told Laby that the White-Ghost King traded with Elrios through the portal.
  • Rose: How... I heard that the demon realm was completely removed from Elrios.
  • Winster: ... I didn't know you already heard from Calonne. I wonder how much he trusted you.
  • Winster: My lord believed that the reason why the Nous and the Garen were in conflict were because of the barren lands. She believed that if we had enough resources, there wouldn't be any reason to fight.
  • Lu: So she decided to... Trade with Elrios? What was she thinking...
  • Raven: That doesn't make sense. You said the lands are barren here. What could you possibly offer to establish a trading relationship with Northern Empire?
  • Winster: You are right. We didn't have much to offer. However, there were still some things you couldn't get in Elrios. For example...
  • Winster: Like this gem here.
  • Eve: ...! This is the same gem we've found in Varnimyr, although only the surface remains...
  • Ara: So the ornaments I've seen back home were made with gems from the demon realm...
  • Winster: In the past, we opened a portal using the energy from this gem. However, we can no longer use it, as we cannot go to the surface.
  • Ain: (The energy from the gem was definitely similar to the energy of the real Dark El.)
  • Elsword: Does that mean you can open a portal to Elrios so long as you have these gems?
  • Winster: We can no longer use the portal we've used to trade, as it's located on the surface where the Garen are. I suspect it no longer exists.
  • Add: Tsk, that can't be the only one! You can't expect us to believe you don't have another one? A proto-type?
  • Winster: You are right, we do have one.
  • Haivan: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait just a second here. You're not thinking what I'm thinking...? That's too dangerous!
  • Rena: That doesn't sound too reassuring. Is there something wrong with this portal?
  • Haivan: Yes, in a sense that we've never operated it before.
  • Aisha: That's a glaring problem...
  • Eve: There's one thing I've been wondering. It's hard to believe that you've managed to develop a portal with the kind of technology available here.
  • Zero: That's what I want to say! It's not easy to jump through dimensions! How can you make a portal that jumps through dimensions with a bunch of junk?
  • Winster: I understand your concern. After all, we only invested in 'portal technology'.
  • Zero: What I'm saying is that there's no way you can create a high-tech device like an inter-dimensional portal without the basic foundation, which this place lacks!
  • Winster: We had foundation. When our lord was thinking of a way to gain resources, she found something underground.
  • Winster: There was a secret laboratory with detailed research on portals.

Description

Winster requests the El Search Party to help reviving the White-Ghost King in return to providing them a way to return to Elrianode.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Eve: A secret laboratory?
  • Add: I can't believe this. Something appears when you most need it, and you don't even think to check if it's a trap or not?
  • Haivan: Wow, aren't you a scaredy cat. Only a coward will leave it be when the answer you desperately seek is right in front of them.
  • Winster: That data was just one method of realizing our dreams. The laboratory contained many research that helped us.
  • Winster: After many trial and error, we were able to complete a portal. But for whatever reason, we were unable to activate the portal that was in the laboratory.
  • Aisha: Huh... Is it possible to make something new, when you can't have the one you have to work?
  • Winster: We knew that the portal inside the laboratory needed special energy to operate, but it was impossible to find related data to continue with the research.
  • Winster: Since your technology is more advanced, you might be able to use the portal.
  • Haivan: Of course, you'd need to find an energy source to activate it. The stuff you find here, just won't cut it.
  • Eve: We have an energy source.
  • Winster: This is a gem from Varnimyr...! And this power... This should be enough to act as a power source.
  • Haivan: ... Amazing. Are you sure you can just hand it over to us like this?
  • Eve: We were going to analyze it with the masters, but this is an emergency.
  • Rena: So I guess this means we can go back to Elrianode. I didn't expect to find a way this fast.
  • Raven: Looks like the conditions to use the portal have been met, but... Does the offer only stand if we decide to help?
  • Winster: It would be ideal if we can borrow all of your help, but what we really need is Queen Luciela's power.
  • Winster: Because the laboratory that holds the portal is important to us, we can only take those who we trust as allies.
  • Winster: ... So? What will it be?
  • Lu: ... I...
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Elsword: I refuse.
  • Lu: !
  • Chung: I agree with Elsword. I do not want to return by putting our friend in danger.
  • Ara: Yes! Either we all go, or we all remain! We can't let Lu handle everything!
  • Aisha: We can return together after breaking the White-Ghost King's seal, right? We just need to stay in the Demon Realm a little longer.
  • Ciel: All of you...
  • Elsword: I told you, I want to travel with Lu and Ciel, together. Let's all help resurrect the White-Ghost King and return to Elrianode together.
  • Lu:' ......
  • Lu:' ... Alright. I can agree with that.
  • Raven: So it's decided. You don't disagree with our decision?
  • Winster: ... Not at all.
  • Add: Wait I can't agree to any of this before we see this portal. This 'help till our backs break only to find out it's nothing' sounds very familiar and I hate it.
  • Elesis: Add... Did you have to say that at a moment like this?
  • Add: It's not my fault you're a bunch of goody-two-shoes idiots who help without checking!
  • Eve: He's not wrong. We should help when our return is guaranteed.
  • Eve: Winster, could we check the condition of the portal immediately?
  • Winster: If you want, I'll lead you right away.
  • Haivan: Father, but...
  • Lu: Do not worry. As long as we know we can use the portal, I will make sure to fulfill your request.
  • Winster: ... You really have changed.
  • Lu: Stop with the nonsense and lead the way. Preferably, somewhere without strange... Hm?
  • Ciel: Hey, who's that coming this way?
  • Winster: Good timing. I called someone to help us move the submarine to the village.
  • Laby: Oooh! Fluffy!!
  • ???: Winster, are you alright? Who...
  • Winster: Nichel. This is one of the four demon lords, Queen Luciela, and her allies. They've promised to aid us in resurrecting our lord.
  • Nichel: The Steel Queen...! It's an honor!
  • Chung: I don't understand... I thought you were on bad terms with the Garen?
  • Winster: Her parents were two of the few Garen who helped us. Nichel was born here, after the event.
  • Ain: So not all Nous and Garens are in bad terms. Is there always an exception?
  • Winster: Nichel. We must start the abandoned plant. We don't know what might go wrong, so please go check.
  • Nichel: That's true... It's been awhile since last time... Then I'll go scout ahead.
  • Raven: Abandoned plant? I thought we were going to the laboratory that holds the portal?
  • Haivan: The secret laboratory holds important things other than the research and the portal, so father created a complex security system.
  • Haivan: So we're going to make a key.
  • Elsword: A key?
  • Winster: I will explain on the way. Follow me.

Description

A key needs to be made in order to go to the secret lab the holds the portal. Let's split up and defeat all the monsters in the abandoned factory.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Aisha: ... I didn't think it would be well maintained when you said 'abandoned', but this is worse than I thought.
  • Haivan: Don't worry. Despite how it looks, we do operate it every now and then to make sure it works.
  • Chung: When was the last maintenance?
  • Haivan: Let's see... Was it last year, or the year before...
  • Add: I have nothing more to say.
  • Raven: You said we will be creating a key. What exactly are we supposed to do?
  • Winster: In order to go through the laboratory's security system, we need a special power source from this plant.
  • Winster: While we create the power source by operating the plant. We need help from you to make sure nothing goes awry.
  • Add: All this, to open a single door?
  • Haivan: Of course! It's where important research data and the portal lies!
  • Winster: If we refine icerite mined from the lower levels, we can create a highly concentrated icerite capsules. It contains pure condensed energy.
  • Rose: I've never heard of icerites before. Is that the names of the mineral used as energy here?
  • Winster: Yes. It's one of very few resources we can use here.
  • Winster: It's a green, ice-like mineral with wave patterns. You will be able to recognize it easily.
  • Haivan: Here, it will be easier if you see it. It brought some from the submarine.
  • Laby: Whoa! It's so cool! Ah, it's cold!
  • Aisha: That's why it's called an 'ice'rite. It's almost like an ice shard. So we need to refine this?
  • Haivan: When it contacts water, it reacts and creates energy. We need to condense that energy.
  • Raven: I suppose it'll be difficult to collect anywhere else. What do you mean it reacts to water?
  • Haivan: If you put it in water, it starts to boil and produce this pink gas. From there, you...
  • Haivan: Wait, you didn't know? I thought you fought the machines from the tunnel. Didn't you see it?
  • Chung: So this was the reason those machines emitted pink gas! We though it was to stop intruders.
  • Haivan: Well... I did think it would be useful as a weapon since it's poisonous, but it doesn't seem that effective with all of you in tip top condition...
  • Add: Should I apologize for leaving the tunnel unscathed?
  • Winster: Back to the subject at hand, right now we won't have enough resources to create the energy source, so we need to mine the resource while operating the plant.
  • Add: Didn't you say it's one of few resources you have? Why do you not have any reserves? You're not planning anything, are you?
  • Haivan: We use the raw material for daily usage. But it's impossible to create enough energy to unlock the security system with that.
  • Haivan: Everything's there for a reason, my friend.
  • Add: If only you were well prepared...
  • Nichel: I'm back, Winster.
  • Winster: Welcome back, Nichel. How's the situation on the roof?
  • Nichel: It's just as you've feared. There were a lot of monsters... It seems they've settled there like last time.
  • Winster: Ah... I was hoping that wouldn't be the case.
  • Aisha: Settled?
  • Winster: Sometimes the deep sea creatures settle by the chimney. Unlike others, they consume icerites, so they like being near the plant.
  • Winster: We chase them away whenever we need to operate this place. Looks like we'll have to do it this time as well.
  • Rena: Then should we chase the creatures from the chimney?
  • Winster: If they've settled by the chimney, I suspect the inside is just as infested. It's best if we split up.
  • Winster: If it's just our usual maintenance, Nichel would be enough, but seems you are in a hurry, I will designate some of you to the upper level as well.
  • Ain: You designate work so naturally. So, where should we go?
  • Winster: Nichel will head towards the chimney, Haivan will head to the center of the plant where the refiner is, and I will be headed to the lower levels.
  • Raven: Then we should divide ourselves to three groups as well.
  • Eve: Yes. We need further information in what we would be responsible for in each section. Winster, if you may.
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Ciel: Then, is it decided where everyone's headed?
  • Raven: Yes. Since Nichel could have handled the upper levels alone, we don't need as many people.
  • Ara: So four with Nichel, then five each for the center and lower levels?
  • Haivan: Ah, it would have been nice if we had one more person. Then it would have been divided evenly.
  • Laby: Laby's headed to the chimney, and Laby's going with Nisha, so we're five too!
  • Haivan: I see, then I wish sparkly weird plate good luck too!
  • Laby: This is Nisha!
  • Elsword: We've all had no time to rest since we've come to the demon realm...
  • Elsword: I'm sure we'll be fine, but don't overdo it.
  • Elesis: Elsword...
  • Lu: Hohoho, I will make sure nothing goes wrong on my watch in the lower levels.
  • Ain: Oh? You'll be watching over me as well? This situation feels rather familiar.
  • Rena: If anything happens, call me! I'll be listening in!
  • Ara: Huhuhu, we will be in your care.
  • Rose: I can make Zero scout the areas first.
  • Rose: Since he's no use to us in battle, we should use him in any other way possible.
  • Zero: What did you say?!
  • Add: You're the one that's acting weird lately. Tsk, we shouldn't have to worry about you.
  • Elsword: Hahaha, is that so?
  • Chung: (Elsword... He's been uneasy since what's happened in Henir's realm. Is it because of the vision he had when he first came to the demon realm?)
  • Haivan: It's all nice and touching, but this is all routine stuff. You're making it sound like we're about to head off to war.
  • Winster: He's right. You will all be with us as your guide. There's no need to worry.
  • Nichel: It's been several years since our last maintenance, so there's probably more monsters than usual... But it should be fine.
  • Add: You said this is all routine! Is this even safe?
  • Elsword: Looks like there's nothing to worry about. Alright, let's go!
