Story/Varnimyr: Difference between revisions

*'''Ciel''': ''Let's give him a chance, Lu. You are a benevolent ruler after all.''

*'''Lu''': ''Hm, if you say so Ciel. Alright, let us hear that plan of yours.''

*'''Lu''': ''Hm? Did you say something?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Ahahaha she said let's go~! Come now, let's get moving Eve. You too, Aisha! Stop pouting, I'm sure Lu didn't mean anything by it.''

*'''Denif''': ''...... Ah... Another lively day it seems...''

----

*'''Add''': ''Of course. This device used to be connected to the Heart of Henir. So all we need to do, is use this device to open a new portal to the Demon Realm.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Amazing! So what now?''

*'''Elesis''': ''Coordinates?''

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

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

*'''Ain''': ''My, looks like this one is a dud as well.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''It's harder to go to the Demon Realm than I thought. With demons popping up all over Elrios, I thought it would be just as easy for us to go...''

*'''Elesis''': ''Hm... Demons at Velder used the Earth El to come over.''

*'''Add''': ''Wait, El energy... Time and Space... Demon Invasion... Perhaps...''

*'''Lu''': ''... it. Shatter it. Only then... Could it be...?''

----

*'''Add''': ''Could you repeat what you said earlier, Nasod Queen?''

*'''Ara''': ''Hm... It looks like El energy is necessary to warp between different dimensions.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Well, all energy is Elrios is based on the El. What we magicians call mana or magic, in the end originates from the El as well. So really, there isn't any other way other than using the power of El, right?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Don't worry! No one was hurt!''

*'''Denif''': ''I can't believe this...! Sigh...''

*'''Ventus''': ''But we saw an elaborate seal at the bottom.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Since we've already checked there aren't any traps or anything, we can investigate properly this time.... How about it?''

|contents1=

*'''Ara''': ''I didn't realize how deep it was last time I fell. How much longer until we reach the bottom?''

*'''Ara''': ''Yes! We will be careful!''

*'''Rose''': ''Wow, Aisha's magic and Eve's tech are amazing. I can't believe how secure we are with this many people.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Henir energy is weighing down on my body... but it's more manageable than I thought...''

*'''Ciel''': ''That means we are stronger, right? Looks like all that training was worth the effort.''

----

*'''Ara''': ''We need to find a way out of here...''

*'''Elesis''': ''Since this is Henir's domain, I didn't think there would be anything alive. But that thing...''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''... I don't know if you should call that thing alive. All I know is that it was as hard as a rock.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Did you find something, Eve?''

*'''Add''': ''Destruction, which turns everything to nothing, chaos which scatters anything that is whole, and a 'manifestation' composed of destruction and chaos... A contradiction indeed. Shame we have to leave this fascinating test subject behind...''

*'''Chung''': ''Safety comes before research, come one!''

*'''Chung''': ''Here! A stepping pad!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''I knew things wouldn't be easy... But I never thought we would be lost in Henir's domain without a way out.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''That's brutal!''

*''(Keee- Screeeech-))''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Uaaah, what was that?! Did anyone else hear that?''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''!''

*'''Ara''': ''U, up there...!''

*'''Ciel''': ''Quiet, this one looks tough. It seems this is the guy that Elsword sensed earlier.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Is everyone alright?''

*'''Elesis''': ''Somewhat. That was pretty tough.''

*'''Rose''': ''Let's move on before anything else comes.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Yes. And thank you for the save earlier.''

*'''Rose''': ''For example, this grenade was recently developed to...''

*'''Zero''': ''Oi! Stop ignoring me!''

*'''Zero''': ''Gyaaaaa!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Haha, seems everyone is getting along.''

*'''Ara''': ''Kugh...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''I thought we defeated that thing earlier!?''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Aisha! Eve! Chung! Kugh...!! Rena! Ara! Lu! Ciel! Raven! Sis! Please! Open your eyes! Ugh...! Ain! Rose! No...''

|contents1=

*'''Rose''': ''There's no getting higher. We're at the top.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''It's dark... Unlike all the other plants we've seen so far.''

*'''Add''': ''It looks like a good hideout. It hasn't bloomed yet.''

*'''Add''': ''... It's nothing special. This one illuminates in the inside as well.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Wow, so pretty!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Look! There's another one that looks just like...''

*''Keeeee-!''

*'''Ain''': ''We might lose her if we don't furry. Let us proceed.''

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

*'''Chung''': ''Oh, thank you! I wasn't prepared for so much wild life. My cannon keeps getting in the way, haha.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Be careful Ara, there's a puddle over there.''

*'''Ara''': ''Oooh! Thank you! I almost splashed myself.''

*'''Edith''': ''<font color=#2EE400>Ah, I apologize if I made you unconfortable with this question. I was merely curious. This is something others should understand as well. Chloe, if you would?</font>''

*'''Chloe''': ''As you know, Dark Elves and Elves from Elrios share the same ancestors. Which means Dark Elves used to dwell in Elrios as well.''

*'''Chloe''': ''The ancestors of Dark Elves used to dwell in the Obsidian Forest, an area with the strongest demonic energy in Elrios. Their bodies, exposed to the demonic energy, adapted, and began utilizing the demonic energy that surrounded them. The other Elves, who could not accept the use of demonic energy, shunned them, called them the 'Cursed Ones'.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''... That's why they had to leave.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Yes! Ciel! Let's have some tea!''

*'''Ciel''': ''Alright, I have the perfect tea set.''

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

*'''Ain''': ''Yes, Elsword?''

*'''Chung''': ''(It makes sense... Most beings will cease to exist upon coming in contact with Henir energy after all.)''

*'''Dark Elf''': ''We've arrived. This is Spirit Asylum.''

*'''Ara''': ''Oh! Look over there! That cute creature reminds me of butterflies!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''C, cute..? It's a little creepy in my opinion... Wait, it looks like...''

*'''Dark Elf''': ''How... No... I can't believe it... The Asylum...''

*'''Ciel''': ''I can't believe this is the same area as the entrance. It's completely barren. And this red storm...''

*'''Small Spirit''': ''This way! This is the short cut to where our Lord lives!''

*'''Ara''': ''Wait for us! It's too dangerous...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''I thought they were with the Dark Elves!! Wait... Did it always look like that...?!''

*'''Dark Elf''': ''Kugh, it's no use! It's not listening to me! It's been tainted by some kind of energy!''

*'''Add''': ''Oi, you!''

*'''Small Spirit''': ''Wah!?''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''......... Grrrrr...''

*'''Ciel''': ''... I don't think he understands what we're saying.''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''Kuuuaaah!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Everyone move!''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''Yes.... But as I was saying... Red Boy, you ask of 'It' that appeared 500 years ago? It is shaped like a tower. But it is not a true contruction. It rejects entry of other beings like it's alive. It never disturbed us. As long as nobody attempted to enter it, nothing changed.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Until now when its strange aura caused everyone to go berserk...''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''Hm... I cannot be certain, but its only been a few months. But you're an adventurer from a different realm with no concern for ours. What is it that you wish to ask of me?''

*'''Ciel''': ''You are right. As expected of the Great Deity.''

|contents1=

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''All the plants here are completely dried out. Everything looks dead.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Thanks for leading the way. We can take it from here.''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''Please be safe. I'll be waiting for you here.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Let's approach this carefully. It has to be dangerous if it can cause a powerful being like Nephilim Lord to go berserk.''

*'''Lu''': ''You worry too much. The tower is still far away! Unless something flies towards us...''

*''Booom!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Ooof... Is everyone alright?!''

*'''Lu''': ''Wha, where did that come from?!''

*'''Ciel''': ''I don't think anyone's hurt, but what was that?''

*'''Add''': ''How did it fly all the way here without us noticing anything? We should have felt it coming.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(That familiar feeling... It's stronger now... What's happening?)''

*'''Add''': ''You're truly useless as a guide.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Something's strange.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''In fact?''

*''Rumble Rumble''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''There are traces on the wall that look like lava. Looks like we fell down pretty deeply...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Huh? Is this mark also a lava mark?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Everyone look! Is that... a scythe? It's a giant scythe!''

*'''Chung''': ''I wonder whose weapon it was. But why is it in such a place?''

*'''Chung''': ''?!''

*''Whooosh!''

----

*'''Chung''': ''(Huff huff), It's hard to breathe...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Also, this fire doesn't seem to go out.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''A ghost scythe ahead, and a field of fire in the back... There's no way to hide.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Our best course of action is to rest here for now. We should stay here until everyone is well rested.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Anyway, Eve, what were you going to say earlier?''

*'''Elesis''': ''You're right... It almost felt like... Fire.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Fire?''

|contents1=

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I see an opening! Everyone ready?''

*'''Lu''': ''I don't care who we have to face, as long as it doesn't handle fire. I am sick of smelling ashes and flames.''

*'''Ciel''': ''That might be difficult. Look, the fire at the top of the tower... wait.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Ugh!!''

*'''Chung''': ''It's forming some kind of shape. It looks like the golem from earlier!''

*''KUUUAAAAAH!''

*'''Zero''': ''OIII!! ROOSE! You better not be knocked out!''

*'''Lu''': ''Huhu, no need to feel bad. It's all in the past. But more importantly, I can't even begin to guess who made this tower, or who is inside it.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Perhaps another Demon Ruler is imprisoned in the tower?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''A demon that can summon a monster that powerful without having to use their main power? That's disconcerting.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''We don't know anything about this tower or the potential enemies within it. Whatever we encounter, the only thing we can do is fight to our best abilities.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''True, it's still standing tall after that battle we had, after all.''

*'''Add''': ''Yes, it was. The keyword being 'was'.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''You mean it's weaker?''

*'''Add''': ''Yes, we don't exactly know why, but when we defeated that monster, the outer walls also became weaker. As if the sole purpose of the walls were to keep the monsters away.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Oh?''

*'''Lu''': ''Your thorny attitude is somewhat endearing now. You were worried about us, weren't you?''

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

*'''Elesis''': ''Next time, please warn us before you do anything. Just in case.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''It's almost suffocating in here.''

*'''Ain''': ''The demonic energy is here is thick. It must have been building up over a long period of time...''

*'''Lu''': ''I should know any demon with this much power...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Can't you think of anyone who feels similar?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Everyone stop. There's an opening area ahead.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... I don't see anything that could be considered a living thing. What do you think, Eve?''

*''PSSSSHHH-!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Ugh! Everyone watch out!''

*'''Ara''': ''How terrible...''

*'''Add''': ''Tsk, there's something different about this than what we've encountered so far. It's definitely sturdier!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Erm, you're still joking, right?''

----

*'''???''': ''Get out of my sight!! I am not an experiment for you to play with!''

*'''Elesis''': ''A voice? Like when you heard the El Lady?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''No...? It's different. With Solace, or the El Lady, they were trying to communicate to me directly. This... This feels like someone's memory just... flowed through me. I heard something earlier when I got hit by that scythe, too. I thought I was imagining things...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I don't know why... but he's in torment... and enraged.''

*'''Ain''': ''(Elsword is closely connected to the El. It's not strange that he would resonate with the El. But this is the Demon Realm, far away from the protection of the El. If the Goddess truly created the El to prevent a demon invasion, then there's absolutely no reason for him to resonate or hear voices like he did in Elysion...... Like he did in Elysion? Could it be?)''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''What is it, Ain?''

*'''Ain''': ''According to Nephilim Lord, this tower was formed approximately 500 years ago. However, nothing unusual happened until recently. Ms. Queen, do you remember when he said unusual things started to happen?''

*'''Elesis''': ''We did have a significant event several months ago.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Wait, what happened? I can't think of anything.''

*'''Elesis''': ''... Elsword. We're talking about when you've restored the El.''

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

*'''Add''': ''So, you think the tower is acting out because the El was restored?''

*'''Ain''': ''... At the very least, the person connected to the tower is also closely connected to the El.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Gah! What is that?! Why does all the monsters look so weird around here!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''An eye of a giant creature? Whatever it is, it's disturbing.''

*'''Elesis''': ''You mean that thing is guarding this place?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Sis! Watch out!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''How can it be still alive? And it's changing shape again!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Looks like that orb is it's core!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Now it's moving around. I guess we only got rid of it's outer casing before.''

*'''Ain''': ''How are you doing, Mr. Ancient?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Kugh!... Huh? It's not attacking.''

*'''Ara''': ''Ah! It's retreating through the crack where it was earlier!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''You mean there's still more?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(The heart of the tower... I wonder if the one I heard is also there?)''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''What is it, Elsword?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I think that's the person who was talking to me.... He's suffering. We need to save him!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Yeah. I want to help.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Sigh... You're predictable as always.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I'm certain he's still in there. It's just that his cage became that monstrous body instead of the orb!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Then... I guess there's only one thing we can do.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Hang in there. We'll save you!)''

----

*'''Add''': ''He, hey! I didn't do anything yet!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''He's falling! If something that big falls, this whole tower will be destroyed!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''The tower is falling apart! Everyone watch out!''

}}

|contents1=

*'''Elesis''': ''Ugh, wha, what is this?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Haha, I guess we should consider ourselves lucky...''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Um... Is it me, or something over there at the center is moving?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Ah...''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Eeeek! Did that eye ball just... insert itself?''

*'''Ain''': ''(Two conflicting powers are not something a human body can endure.)''

*'''Zero''': ''Maybe if we just use up one of his powers, we will be able to talk to him!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''So we'll need to fight.''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Uaaah!!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Th, thanks for the save, Eve. I thought I was going to fall...! Ugh... I knew people were jinxing it when they wouldn't shut up about falling since we arrived in the Demon Realm...!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''I don't know how long these floating stones will last! Kugh!''

*'''Ara''': ''Kyaaaaa!!''

*'''Add''': ''Kugh, Dynamo-!!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''You won't bring us down with that trick again! Hyaaaa-!''

}}

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Elsword! Don't go too close...!''

*'''???''': ''I don't... Hurt... any... more...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''We want to help. Tell me, what do we need to do?!''

*'''???''': ''... Burn...... Me... I will burn 'Myself'!''

*'''Ciel''': ''You're right. Just a little smack to return his senses.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''He feels different. He is stronger... and more refined. He's also taking this more seriously.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''And time for the genius girl magician to use her full magic!''

*'''Ain''': ''Are you ready, Elsword?''

*'''Ventus''': ''Well, you need a way back to Elrios, don't you?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Wait...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Huh? Can't we just go back the way we came from?''

*'''Ventus''': ''Haha, that's why I brought this Wind Spirit Stone. I can roughly tell where you are as long as you hold onto it. If you make it just across the barrier beneath the El Tower, we'll open the path again.''

*'''Chung''': ''So you've come all the way here to give us this stone?''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''Of course! Rest well.''

----

*'''Ara''': ''Hmah?! It wasn't me! I didn't eat... Oh, it was a dream.''

*'''Lu''': ''Nnnng, 5 more minutes...''

*'''Ciel''': ''It's time to wake up, Lu.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''How long have we been knocked out?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Thank you for guardian us in our sleep, Eve.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''YAAAAWN,''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''You're awake!''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''This is a mountain with special gems.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''What's special about them?''

*'''Lu''': ''Yes. I also sense it. This...''

*'''Ciel''': ''... Has a similar energy to the 'Real Dark El' that Hennon had. Though, it's very faint. Barely noticeable in comparison.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Can these gems be the lead we were looking for?''

*'''Add''': ''That's obvious. Even though it's faint, these gems hold the Dark El's unique energy. Based on that, we can create a device to trace the Dark El... and other things.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''What's going on, Eve?''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''There should be more inside!''

*'''Eun''': ''(...... That spirit is definitely acting suspicious...)''

----

*'''Add''': ''Hmph, they were weak.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''You should not let your guard down. We don't know when a powerful enemy...''

*''(CRASH!)''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''You are not the only one who wants to protect Lu. We all do! Comrades stand together, protecting each other's back. I hope we can be someone you can rely on. Because I like traveling with you, Ciel.''

*'''Ciel''': ''Elsword...''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Ah, Eve...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Huhu, I guess we'll have to make sure we don't become enemies!''

*'''Elesis''': ''Haha, aren't you all grown up! ... Thank you for telling us.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I get it! Stop it already!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Uhuhu...''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''(Nodding)''
