Story/Rigomor: Difference between revisions

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Mmhm, so many things happened, and we haven't even been here that long.''

*'''Chung:''' ''Yes, we learned about the Dark Elves and Nephilim Lord... And found some clues about the Dark El.''

*'''Ara:''' ''We also met the Fire Master. It was really an unexpected encounter.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Not to mention how dangerous. We were fortunate that the Fire Master came back to his senses in the end...''

*'''Ain:''' ''It's too early to let your guard down. Let's go past this realm before we relax.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''... Hey. Is it me, or does this place seem... Different?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''It was expected that this realm would change forms, but this atmosphere...''

*'''Ara:''' ''Are we... Perceived as a threat?''

*'''Ara:''' ''That the spirits won't know the exact location of the Dark El either?''

*'''Zero:''' ''Hmph. He sent us on a wild goose chase! That's what he did.''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''<font color=#F1670A>This is an unstable place. Today's sancutary may well be your grave the next. One step forward, and your might find the sky and the earth switched places. The reason why we have settled here, is because this area is more stable than others. The energy of the Dark El calms rampaging land and revives withering trees. That energy is spread across the land, but is very faint. However, there are few places where the energy runs stronger. The Shadow Vein is one such place.</font>''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Nephilim Lord's description reminded me of the Elriabrunnr that Denif mentioned.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Let's hurry. We're almost there!''

*''Keee- Grrrrrr-!''

*'''Chung:''' ''Kugh...! When did they...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Wait, is this... It's like the vision I had. Is that actually becoming a reality? Am I... Am I about to lose everyone? No... That can't be it. But if it is, then I...)''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Are they coming this way?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Elsword!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''S, Sis...''

*'''Rose:''' ''Ugh... I'll distract them so find us a way, Zero!''

*'''Ciel:''' ''... Damn it, they are approaching fast, and there's too many of them! At this rate...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(How do I... At this rate, the monsters will reach Elrianode... And everyone...)''

*'''Laby:''' ''Oiiiii!!''

----

*'''Chung:''' ''What's happening... Why is it shaking?''

*'''Ain:''' ''Looks like Ms. Fox was right earlier, and this realm is removing the threat.''

*'''Ara:''' ''What?! What do we do now?!''

*'''Chung:''' ''Did she lose consciousness from the shock? At least she doesn't look hurt.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Where is this? I heart someone say... Something about a dimensional rift?''

*'''Ain:''' ''And we were sucked in to that dimensional rift when that happened. From what I can sense, I believe we are in...''

*'''Lu:''' ''You're right. We're back in the Demon Realm.''

*'''Ain:''' ''Yes, but now that conceptualized idea is more concrete.''

*'''Ara:''' ''It seems we would need to be more careful next time.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Move? Move where? Didn't Add say that the surface is too far?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''A natural cave...? But then you wouldn't have used 'unusual' to describe it.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Hm, wouldn't it be better to push ourselves and make it to the surface than vanture the unknown in the deep-sea?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''E, Eve, it's fine! A spell like this is nothing for a genius girl...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... No, Eve's right. Sorry about that, Aisha.''

*'''Chung:''' ''I see something between the rocks over there! Do you think, it revealed itself from the impact when we defeated the whale monster?''

*'''Rose:''' ''A circular door...? Is that the enclosure with air that you've mentioned?''

*'''Zero:''' ''Who would make something like this at the bottom of the sea? It's very suspicious.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''What can we do? Even if it is a bit suspicious, it's our best option for now.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''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.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Sigh, well at least now we know what to prepare for.''

*'''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.''

*'''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?''

*'''Laby:''' ''Whoaaa!! You're the El Search Party, right? Are you Elsword??''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''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!''

*''Zzzzt zzzt-''

*'''Ara:''' ''I heard a strange noise!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''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!!!''

|contents1=

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''The sound came from here. Hm? A gas?''

*'''Laby:''' ''Whoa! Pink Gas!! Nom!''

*'''Ain:''' ''Are you... Eating it?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''What's going on? Someone's saying it's salty, someone's saying it's bitter...''

*'''Add:''' ''Strange. Looks like the gas is confusing the neural system to make everyone think they're tasting something different.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''What? Isn't it dangerous then?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''I see. So that's why the monsters are just lurking around the vicinity. They know that the gas might start leaking if they attack this place.''

*'''Rose:''' ''Although the gas can prove dangerous, at least we shouldn't encounter any more enemies.''

*'''Chung:''' ''... I sense presence beyond this tunnel. They're not even trying to hide it.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Do you think they're demons?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Eve, what is it?''

*'''Zero:''' ''Let's see... Huh, looks like these junk only operate through a specific mechanism.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Um... Is this a Nasod, too?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''I can see how. Look over here. Compared to the old body parts, the power cource here is relatively clean. Which means someon is regularly repairing these machines.''

*'''Add:''' ''That makes sense. Just like the tunnels had several parts that were fixed recently.''

|contents1=

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''We've come down quite far... I wonder where this tunnel will lead to?''

*'''Chung:''' ''Oh! There's a door at the end!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''A door? Or a wall? It can't be that we're already at the end...''

*'''Lu:''' ''There's no way someone would create a structure this big with no purpose in the Demon Realm. Search thoroughly.''

*'''Chung:''' ''How about we open this? Maybe the tunnel will continue behind this door.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''The sea? Then what is this tunnel for?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Maybe it was abandoned after moving something in the past. But then why would someone continue to repair this place?''

*'''Add:''' ''Kuhuhu, yes... We've come this far, we should get an event like this at the very least.''

*'''Ara:''' ''I, it's not the time to say something like... Eeeek! The legs!!''

*'''Chung:''' ''And that command would be something like, destroy the intruders... Right?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''What are you standing around for? It's a, approaching!!''

*'''Ain:''' ''Haha, now shall w check what's beyond this point?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Come on, Eve said it was connected directly to the sea.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''... Who?''

*'''???:''' ''People of Elrios...? How did you come all the way here?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''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?''

*'''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.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Were there any others from Elrios who came before us?''

*'''Winster:''' ''... Thank you for accepting my offer. I will lead you to the village. This way.''

----

*'''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. Of course, I suspect with your skills this is rather unnecessary, but why waste energy if there's an easier way?''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Is there a problem?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Well, you see... The deep sea creatures here have strange... habits. They collect hard, or shiny objects to build their nests.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''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.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''No problem. Why? Is there a problem?''

*'''Lu:''' ''Nothing, so you can stop with the worry. I just wan to check something.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''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.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Eve? Can you sense where the energy core is?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''...? Are you alright? If you're sick...''

*'''Lu:''' ''Wait, I sense someone.''

*'''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.''

*'''???:''' ''...!! Who's there! Who... Intruders?''

*'''Ara:''' ''No! We're not intruders.''

*'''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.''

*'''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?''

*'''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. 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?''

*'''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!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''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... Like this gem here.''

*'''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.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Yes, in a sense that we've never operated it before.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''That's a glaring problem...''

*'''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'.''

*'''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:''' ''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. 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.''

*'''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?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''So I guess this means we can go back to Elrianode. I didn't expect to find a way this fast.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Looks like the conditions to use the portal have been met, but... Does the offer only stand if we decide to help?''

*'''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!''

*'''Winster:''' ''If you want, I'll lead you right away.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Father, but...''

*'''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.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Then we should divide ourselves to three groups as well.''

|QuestCD=  

*'''Laby:''' ''Why are you slamming that? Because it makes a good noise?''

*'''Nichel:''' ''If they hear loud noise, the monsters will leave.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''Yeah. Haivan said if you beat them hard a couple of times, they'd stop coming, but...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''He said something like that earlier too.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Hehee! Laby's really good at making loud noises! Leave it to Laby!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Huhu, looks like we'll be done early thanks to Laby.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''Go ahead.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''I don't know the details since I was born in Rigomor after the fact. I only know what Winster told me... I heard that the White-Ghost King called upon her followers one by one and told them something. Among those followers, one betrayed the king and attacked.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''... This sounds familiar. Maybe the same people behind Lu's dethroning were also behind this.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Yeah. It does sound suspicious. Have you ever heard why that follower betrayed the White-Ghost King?''

*'''Nichel:''' ''He never said. But I don't think he really knows why either.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''After the king's death, chaos fell upon the White-Ghost territory, and another war broke out between the two hostile races. The adults called it war, but it sounds like the disparity in power was too great to be anything but a one-sided genocide. So, the Nous and the small number of Garen who still followed the will of the late White-Ghost King came down to Rigomor, awaiting the White-Ghost King's return.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''He might remember her fondly as someone he followed.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Really? But Lu said the White-Ghost King is nice. Hmmm...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''They used to? Does that mean they changed their minds after their trading relationship with Northern Empire?''

*'''Nichel:''' ''They always seem confused when they tell me. Like they're thinking, 'why did I think that way.' But from the records and the stories I've heard... I don't think there was any positive emotion.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''... The White-Ghost King does seem different from other demons we know, don't you think?''

}}

|QuestCD=  

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Hmm, is that what our fearless knight captain was thinking about?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Uhh...? Wait! How did you...?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Y, you heard all the way there?!''

*'''Laby:''' ''Amazing! Did you hear what Laby said, too?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Yup! I heard everything!''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Uh... Hm...!''

*'''Elesis:''' ''It's not because I don't trust in everyone's abilities! It's just that...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Yup. Although, I didn't think you were worrying about something waaaaaay in the future. You were a captain since you were young... Did you say habit? Huhu, you are exactly like your brother in these ways.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''I'm sorry I didn't say anything. I just didn't want him to worry by mentioning it...''

*'''Elesis:''' ''... You're right. Who else would be his pillar, if not for his sister?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''That's all fine and all, but in the future, if there's anything that concerns you, tell us, pinky swear?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''... Pinky swear...''

*'''Laby:''' ''Yay! That's great! You look really close!''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Sigh...''

}}

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''So you can still go up, even if it's just for missions.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''I think others want to leave this place, but I like it here more than the surface.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Then are you forcing yourself for the villagers? Even though you don't want to?''

*'''Nichel:''' ''I'm not forcing myself. The villagers are precious to me, just as much as this place. As much as I like Rigomor, I know many long for their homeland. I understand that... So I want to help as much as I can.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''... I guess. When that happens, I plan to stay. It may be barren, and hard to get used to, but I believe there's a lot of potential to this land.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''I want to make this place somewhere nice, so people would want to stay. I don't want to give up on my goal even if I am left alone. I have my path, as they have theirs.''

----

*'''Elesis:''' ''Even if Nichel has a different opinion, it does seem like most demons in Rigomor want to move back to the surface, right?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''You mean information on the Dark El.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Yes. We can't forget why we're here in the first place.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''I thought the demon realm will full of enemies. I'm glad we were able to call those we can call allies.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Since we have little information on the demon realm and the Dark El, we may have to wander all around the demon realm. Considering that, I think it would be just as important to find allies here, as it is to search for the Dark El.''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Nichel! Elesis! Eve!''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Monsters...?!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''No! I heard something moving from the ground! And it's coming closer! We need to warn the others! I'll go first! Hurry!''

*'''Nichel:''' ''From the ground...?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''What's going on? Eve, did you hear anything?''

*''Crash!! Grrr Crack!''

*'''Laby:''' ''Oof!''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Ugh! What was that sound? Is that what Rena heard?''

*'''Nichel:''' ''Winster! Winster! The communication device is not working...''

}}

|ED= 2,002,200

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''In that case... Alright. I've never had to do anything like this, so I'm not sure what to say.''

*'''Lu:''' ''We don't need to say anything. When you come back, you'll be stuck with us again.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Eve?! Are you alright?''

*'''Chung:''' ''Were you injured?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''... We didn't have any opportunity to rest since we've come to the demon realm. With the environment changing so quickly, it's understandable that you're exhausted.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''I guess this wasn't the right time to idly exchange goodbyes. You should return to Elrianode immediately.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... Give me the gem. You're in a hurry, right? I'll activate the power system so you can check right away.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''(He's so cooperative all of a sudden. I thought he was going to object earlier.)''

*'''Haivan:''' ''It's going to take forever and a half to explain how the portal works. It's faster if I do it myself. I did say it might be dangerous, but it should work properly. You just need to come and check. Wouldn't this be easier for you as well?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Alright. If that's fine with you.''

*'''Add:''' ''Is that the control panel? Can you overrule his commands?''

*'''Winster:''' ''No. However, I can check the internal structure. Even that seems to have changed significantly though.... But all you need to find is the energy source. And that will always be at the center. As long as you stop the energy source, everything will stop operating.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''It's the only energy source we've got to return to Elrios. If we lose it, there's no guarantee when we can go back.''

*'''Winster:''' ''You won't be able to approach the normal route, as the security system is activated at the moment. However, if you neutralize the sub security system on both sides and the central one on the top, it should open a pathway inside.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Let's hurry, it's no going to be open long.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Wait, please take this.''

*'''Winster:''' ''It's a communication device. You will need my help once you're inside.''

*'''Add:''' ''And you expect us to trust you? How do we know it's not a trap to lead us astray?''

*'''Chung:''' ''......''

*'''Add:''' ''... Tsk.''

*'''Add:''' ''I'll take that. Don't over do it.''

}}

*'''Ciel:''' ''Then how we're going to escape that situation, I guess, is the real question.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''......''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Let's avoid that situation if we can though. I used a lot of my mana and Eve overexerted herself. Besides, it's not just us that will be hit.''

*'''Laby:''' ''We need to save Winster and Nichel too!''

----

*'''Ciel:''' ''Tsk, as we suspected...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''It's hard to stay standing. Don't be swept away.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Waaaaah...''

*'''Winster:''' ''...? ... ...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Winster. Do you hear me? The portal inside the Titan is our last hope to return to Elrios.''

*'''Winster:''' ''... .... .... ... ... .... .... ....''

*'''Add:''' ''Right now, the main power source is disconnected from the transmission device, so it's taking the energy directly from the gem. Without the sub units that prevent energy loss, we should be able to deactivate it as long as we exploit its weakness.''

*'''Rose:''' ''Everyone's here. But... What do we do next?''

*'''Add:''' ''... Just wait. It should be done soon.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''Kugh... Hurry! Add, Winster!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Winster? Add?! What are you doing!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''...!! This light...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''We're... floating?''

*'''Berthe:''' ''You think I'll let you get away?!''

*'''Nichel:''' ''Uuugh...!!''
