Story/Varnimyr: Difference between revisions

*'''Rose''': ''You are right of course. We are in quite a predicament...''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Kya!! You scared me... How long were you standing there!?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''It's no my fault she goes around without making a sound...''

*'''Elesis''': ''Wait, isn't Rose from another world? Rose, how did you come to Elrios?''

*'''Ventus''': ''Of course! The giant hole beneath the El is nothing if not suspicious! Haven't you ever wondered what's down there?''

*'''Denif''': ''No, in fact, I haven't.''

*'''Denif''': ''I don't think I heard that right. Did you say you've already went down below?''

*'''Ara''': ''Well... I accidentally tripped and fell down the hole...''

*'''Zero''': ''Mwahaha! At least somebody appreciates my glorious presence!''

*'''Rose''': ''... Please don't compliment him. He's heavy as is without a big head.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''We appreciate your help. I trust you'll be impartial as only someone from outside of Elrios and the Demon Realm could be. Glad to have you. It's always good to have more people on the same side.''

*'''Rose''': ''Thank you, I will do my best.''

*'''Anduran''': ''Ready!''

*'''Elesis''': ''...! The light!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Let's hurry!''

*'''Eun''': ''Ara.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''This is...!''

*'''Ain''': ''This potency... The Demon Realm must be completely under the influence of Henir, My, isn't this exciting?''

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

----

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

*'''Ciel''': ''Didn't we pass this place just a moment ago?''

*'''Ain''': ''Miss Demon, can't you sense anything? My legs are getting tired...''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Based on the data we collected in Elrianode, these monsters are comprosed of 98% Henir energy. Essentially, these beings are manifestations of chaos and destructin.''

*'''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...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Wait, stop!''

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

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

*''(Rrrrrrr Click-!)''

*{{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|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Watch your step. If you fall, there is no coming back. Of course we'll try our best to rescue anyone who falls... But some situations call for sacrifices.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Is that the way to the Demon Realm?''

*''(Keee- Screeeech-)''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Haha, come on everyone, let's stop the chit chat and move on. Something doesn't feel...''

*''(Keeee- Screeeech- Keeeee--!!)''

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

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

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Is it not possible to communicate with them?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''I'm not sure. They just run away when I try to talk to them...''

*'''Lu''': ''Ohoho~ They're quite cute! Ciel, can you cook with this?''

*'''Ciel''': ''I don't know anything about mushrooms in the Demon Realm, but we don't touch colorful mushrooms like these in Elrios since they usually have poison.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''They're stronger than the Dark Elves at Velder. Especially the one with a giant bow.''

*'''Lu''': ''Of course. They're in their home domain. Sigh... It's not easy to subdue them without causing harm.''

*'''Ain''': ''We're removed from the protection of El after all. It may feel heavy at first, but we'll get used to it.''

*'''Lu''': ''Mmhm~ And this is coming from someone who's struggling the most.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Did you hear that?''

*''Stomp-''

*''Stomp-''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''O, over there! That giant shadow! Do you see?''

*'''Rose''': ''Ah, looks like it lures its food this way. Everyone be careful!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''It's not calming down...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''We have no other choice... Let's defeat it!''

----

*'''Ara''': ''Amazing...! She moves so quickly.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Do you require assistance?''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Moby, Remy, please cut down all the branches around Chung.''

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

*'''Chloe''': ''Sigh... you should have at least explained that the term 'Demon Realm' was given by the idiots in Elrios.''

*'''Ara''': ''Watch out! I saw a dark elf over there..!''

*'''Chloe''': ''There are more guards than usual. Tsk, it's all because you attacked the Red Guardian.... but it is what it is.''

*'''Dark Elf''': ''<font color=#D600FF>Intruders!</font>''

*'''Ciel''': ''There are multiple outposts on the way. Coming this way may have been for naught.''

*'''Zero''': ''What's this shiny thing...? Uaaah! Thorns!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''There's no other way. We must face them head on!''

*'''Chloe''': ''Do you want to be a pin cushion?''

*'''Sentinel Commander''': ''<font color=#D600FF>Come, Blue Guardian! Answer my call! Aid your fellow guardians!!!</font>''

*'''Chloe''': ''!!''

*'''Chloe''': ''She called another guardian. This is bad...!''

*''Kuuuuaaaaaa-!!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Haha, I think we can relax. It doesn't look like she wants to fight.''

*'''Edith''': ''<font color=#2EE400>Huhu... My name is Edith, I am the village elder, the leader of this village. Because of our location being surrounded by the forest, we have developed out own language. I have one question for you. Why did you think we would understand Ancient Elven?</font>''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''It's not a bad idea. I'm sure spirits will know many things that are no privy to us.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''I agree as well. It will be good for us to make allies we can trust.''

*'''Edith''': ''<font color=#2EE400>Have you decided?</font>''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''<font color=#2EE400>Yes, we accept your offer. However, we are all exhausted from the constant battles. We would like some place to rest before we are needed.</font>''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Nephilim Lord... Mm... Could you also tell us about the Cave of Death?''

*'''Dark Elf''': ''I see you are curious about many things. The Cave of Death is the cave of legend, it brings death to all who've tried to enter. As such, that area became forbidden. Even Dark Nephilims do not go near the cave.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Interesting. The plants here are much more docile than the ones we saw in the forest.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Hey, are you alright?''

*'''Small Spirit''': ''Thank you for saving me...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''A powerful spirit can communicate with anyone. They just refuse to speak, as they are wary of strangers.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Looks like spirits of the Demon Realm have the same ability.''

|contents1=

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Ugh. Is it me, or it's really hot.''

*'''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...''

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

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

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''The Dark Nephilim in Velder has nothing on this one...!!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Is this the power of Nephilim Lord...?''

|contents1=

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''Ugh...!''

*'''Ciel''': ''Everyone stop!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Do you know where you are?''

----

*'''Ara''': ''Looks like even the sky is falling apart... It feels... creepy.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Looks like everywhere else is surrounded by red fog. But it's clear where we're standing.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Like the eye of the storm...''

*'''Ciel''': ''I don't know. It's true Lanox is also covered in ashes and flames, but it's definitely more livelier than this place.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Maybe you feel like it's similar because Lanox has a lot of demonic energy.''

*'''Add''': ''It looks suspicious even from afar. Is that the 'Thing' Nephilim Lord was talking about?''

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

*'''Elesis''': ''Everyone get ready!''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''I can't believe this. From what I know, you need hundreds of magicians to summon a golem like this.''

*'''Ciel''': ''Lu, are all creatures in the Demon Realm like this?''

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

*''Rumble Rumble''

*'''Ara''': ''The ground is cracking!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Damn it, it's too late to escape. Prepare yourselves, we're going to fall!''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Let me see. How interesting. This looks like it was cut with a sharp, scorching weapon.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Sharp... scorching weapon......! Everyone get back!''

*''Whooosh!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Wha, what is that? It's moving by itself! A gh, ghost?''

*'''Ain''': ''Perhaps we should have this conversation after we defeat it?''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''It's burning all the oxygen. The longer we fight, the more we'll be at a disadvantage.''

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

*'''Ciel''': ''It disappeared.''

*'''Lu''': ''No! It teleported!''

*''Vooom-!''

*'''Add''': ''It missed? No, that's not it!''

*'''Ara''': ''The scythe turned into flames, wait!''

*'''Add''': ''It's getting away. It went towards the tower.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Ooooh... I'm all out of mana... I can't fight anymore.''

*'''Add''': ''You obviously have enough energy to talk.''

*''GRROOOOOWL!!''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''It may look similar, but the sheer amount of energy it holds is nothing like before...! Be careful! Something's approaching!''

*''KUUUAAAAAH!''

*'''Eun''': ''Don't let your guard down, Ara. That is not a normal creature. It's going away for now because it used up all its power, but it will come back with vigor.''

*'''Ain''': ''Looks like we bought us some time. We should try to get in the tower now.''

*'''Lu''': ''Hm... It's a common enough practice after a fight for victors to imprison the loser in a structure like this to humiliate them. With big and small fights happening everyday in the Demon Realm, it's not so unusual that we encounter such a structure here.''

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

*{{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.''

*'''Ain''': ''Now, now, there's no use worrying about things yet to come. We'll be fine. Let's take this step by step.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Yeah. Let's think about how we're going to enter this tower first.''

*'''Add''': ''Are you done chatting like old ladies? While you were enjoying your gossip, we were looking for a way into the tower.''

*{{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.''

*'''Add''': ''I can't say for sure, but I have my suspicion. It was too violent to be a guardian of the tower. It was acting like it wanted to destroy everything.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''You're right. The monster never really acted like it was trying to protect the tower.''

*'''Ara''': ''There are thorns coming out of nowhere! There's no place to stand...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''There must be a castor somewhere, but I can't see with all these thorns!''

*'''Ciel''': ''Agreed. If we don't do anything, we will all end up skewered.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Are you alright? I know we got rid of most of the thorns already, but you should stay focused.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Ah, yeah. Thanks, Raven.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Are you really ok? You keep zoning out! If you have an injury, you should really get that healed!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Ah, well... I think I heard a voice.''

*'''Lu''': ''Looks like he got you there, Ciel.''

*'''Ciel''': ''... I...''

*'''Ara''': ''Yes, Chung?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''It was there since the thorns. But I'm quite sure they didn't look like that.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Doesn't it look a bit... Gross? How disturbing...''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''It looks like a magic circle. But I've never seen one like it! How can there be a magic circle that I know nothing about?!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''So there's five enemies we have to take care of. Fighting in one group will only make it easier to target all of us.''

*'''Lu''': ''Ciel? What's wrong?''

*'''Ciel''': ''... It's nothing. Let's go.''

*'''Ciel''': ''Lu!!''

*'''Add''': ''Stop! If you go there now, the eyes will also be...!''

*'''Ara''': ''Ch, Chung!''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Everyone calm down and stay where you are! If we go to them, we will only open ourselves to attack! Chung, what's your status?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Stay safe! We'll help you when we can!''

*'''Ara''': ''Don't worry, I'll make sure to protect Chung!''

*'''Add''': ''Finally, even the biggest one is down for now.''

*'''Ain''': ''That was a hectic battle. Mr. Guardian, how's the injury?''

*'''Ara''': ''It was nothing. I'm just glad your injuries weren't anything serious.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Let us know if you need to rest, ok?''

*'''Elesis''': ''Anyway. I'm glad no body was seriously injured.''

*'''Lu''': ''I apologize. If it weren't for me...''

*'''Lu''': ''But...''

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

}}

*'''Ara''': ''Ah! That's the eye ball from earlier!''

*'''Add''': ''When did it...! Dynamo! Stop its approach!''

*''BOOOM-!''

*'''Elesis''': ''Kugh, is everyone alright?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Leave the support to us!''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Sigh... It was our toughest battle yet. But how do we get the person out?''

*'''Add''': ''Hmph, we just need to break that outer shell, right?''

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

*'''Add''': ''The release of demonic energy is causing debris to fly all over the place!''

*'''Elesis''': ''Prepare for a fight! He's about to attack!''

----

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

*'''Lu''': ''Ha... Ha... The fire, the scythe, the THORNS! It's like fighting the entire tower!''

*'''Elesis''': ''Whenever we try to close distance, he disappears, but when we try to stay away, he teleports in front of us...''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''It's unbelievable. He is still fast as ever!''

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

*'''???''': ''Defeat... Me...!''

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

*''BAAANG-!''

*'''Ciel''': ''Come this way! Quickly!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... You all heard him too, right?''

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

*'''Add''': ''Besides, beating back one's senses seems to be our specialty.''

*'''Ara''': ''I am ready!''

*'''Lu''': ''Of course. Now is a good chance to beat him up for troubling us so, after all!''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''When we entered Henir's Realm, the masters and priestesses opened a way for us, but when we go back, we have no way to communicate we're just beyond the barrier.''

*'''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.''

*'''Ventus''': ''Well, yes. But it looks like I would be taking home something much bigger now. My, just like the good old days. Has it been 2 years already? You look exactly the same as the last time I saw you!''

*'''Rosso''': ''... You idiot. Of course it's been more than just 2 years. No sense of time what so ever. Ugh...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Well, I'm sure Denif will be able to explain what happened when we go back.''

*'''Lu''': ''If everything's settled, let's go back to where the spirit is waiting for us.''

*'''Lu''': ''He should be grateful! After all, we not only solved the issue, but completely eliminated the source of the problem! Now, let's go.''

}}

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Haha, sorry to have you waiting.''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''It's nothing compared to what you've been through.''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''While everyone was resting, I've received information on the Dark El from Nephilim Lord. He said there's a significant clue somewhere nearby.''

*'''Lu''': ''Hm...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''The Dark Elves' Forest, the mines here, the Demon Realm is surprisingly similar to Elrios.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Denif did say the Demon Realm was created in reaction to the power of creation. So I guess it's because of that reaction thing or something.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''We, well... yeah.''

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

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

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

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

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

*'''Elesis''': ''They're holding mining equipment.''

*'''Lu''': ''It looks like they're here to mind these gems.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''We're not fully recovered. It's best if we can avoid any unnecessary battles.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''They're coming this way...! We'll be discovered at this rate!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''... might appear.''

*'''???''': ''I, if you interfere with m, my work! I wo, won't forgive you!''

*'''Add''': ''He looks like he's going to fall over any moment now. Probably a nobody.''

*'''Nero''': ''W, what?! I am Nero! Ran's faithful right-hand man!! You better not underestimate me..!!''

*'''Lu''': ''What?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Where!?''

*'''Ara''': ''Oh! Nero is gone!''

*'''Elesis''': ''I can't believe we fell for that! Our concentration level must have dropped due to fatigue...''

*'''Nero''': ''Ha... Haha, You... Dunderheads!!''

*''(CRASH-!!)''

*'''Nero''': ''With this! The master of this vein will awake..! So long, you brutes...! I... I will crush you next time!''

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

----

*'''Add''': ''It's quiet now.''

*'''Lu''': ''Looks like he was attracted to the powerful energy here and just... settled. It's perfect for hunting weaker beings who come here for the same reason.''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''Great job everyone!''

*'''Add''': ''And you expect us to trust you? Tsk.''

*'''Stirbargen''': ''Hm... Well, I guess I'm talking to a bunch of idiots. I don't care if the world burns nor do I care who wins the war. I just need entertainment! Plus, it's not like I'm interested in being a ruler anymore. Just let me go. Then I'll let you know pertinent information that you will not receive otherwise. How about it?''

*'''Stirbargen''': ''I like you. I have a feeling I'll be well entertained just watching you. So! I'm giving you an extra service! If I die now, there's no 'me' to enjoy, so I must ensure my survival.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''...... Alright, I'll take it.''

*'''Ain''': ''Haha, hearing such violent words coming out of Ms. Fox takes a bit getting used to.''

*'''Stirbargen''': ''Sit down everyone, this is going to be a long story.''

*'''Stirbargen''': ''Where should I start... Oh yeah, how about the Dark El? The Dark El... is considered a legend, with lots of rumors surrounding it. You can obtain the greatest power! You will live eternal life! And all other absurdities. Many don't even believe that it exists. Barkat, the one currently leading the army... Actually, who cares what he thinks.''

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

*'''Elesis''': ''Add...!''

*'''Add''': ''There's no reason to feel guilt. If you act out of guilt, you think we'll appreciate it?''

*'''Add''': ''So he says. Tsk, bunch of soft-hearted idiots.''

*'''Ara''': ''I too... felt similar to how Ciel feels. As much as I cherish my brother, I also began to feel a connection with you. I was worried... That my actions would eventually harm all of you. But, everyone just accepted that I must continue to save my brother. That is when I decided. Just like everyone has fought for me, I will fight for others. I will help them, and struggle with them together. I want to help you... Ciel...!''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''So now, that bet ended as a draw because the Red Demon King revealed himself?''

*'''Ara''': ''Yes.... It was... Fortunate, in a sense.''

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

*'''Elesis''': ''Hm? Elsword, it something wrong?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... Mm, I guess. I guess the El truly has endless potential.''

*'''Ciel''': ''We have to go through the area again to go back to Elrianode. We better prepare ourselves.''

*'''Ara''': ''Master Denif might know what's going on!''

*'''Elesis''': ''We should also tell them about what the Red Demon King told us.''
