Story/Chapter 35: Difference between revisions

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''The core... And the rocks that surrounds it... This looks like a golem of some sort! This energy...! Something tells me these golems are going to be very dangerous...!!''

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

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

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''I'm not interested... In strength to protect someone else. I need to fulfill my purpose...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Cough, cough! Ugh...! Phew... This is nothing after being hit by Aisha's fireballs a million times!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Ahaha... (What was that? A memory...?)''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Earlier? Ah, you mean before we fell. The golem we fought had some demonic energy due to the rocks and ore being from the Demon Realm... But unlike the exterior, it looked like the core had little to do with demonic energy.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Ain}} '''Ain:''' ''Looks like floating stones. It separated from the ground due to the shockwave. But... It doesn't look like it will be floating for long.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''This tower is strange. I don't see anything that can be considered an entrance. As if it was created to imprison someone.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''But the enemies we've fought so far barely had any demonic energy. Of course, we have yet to encounter what's in the tower... If whoever is in the tower was controlling the monsters outside, the prisoner is either a demon who didn't use any demonic energy, or someone completely unrelated.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Not even one. The demon rulers I knew didn't have such a strange aura, and this kind of demonic energy in unfamiliar to me. Further more, if the one stuck within this tower is a demon ruler like me who was sealed away, there's no reason for them to stay here after they regained this much power.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Ah... I'm getting usual readings. It looks like there is one living thing in this tower, no wait... It's like this entire tower is made up of one organism...''

*{{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|Ain}} '''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|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Only a few months. I was wondering about that as well. There's no reason for a being with this much power to remain silent until now. There's no clear purpose, and it doesn't seem to have a clear plan... Oh, I see.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Really, it was nothing. And... I understand how Ciel feels. If it were me, and someone important to me was in danger, I wouldn't have thought twice before I jumped to protect that person.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ain}} '''Ain:''' ''I had to ponder about it for a long time, but came to a decision. And I don't regret it. Whatever happens in the end, I'm ready to face the consequences. I hope you can do the same.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''That person is most likely the master of this tower. Considering everything that happened so far, it's just as likely that he'll be hostile. Do you still wish to help him?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ain}} '''Ain:''' ''(He is resonating with those related to the El to communicate.) Elsword, you're closely connected to the El. I suspect the one we're trying to rescue within the monster it also the same. Remember when the El Lady spoke to you? If you replicate that feeling to talk to him, perhaps that will create and opening for us.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Alright, I'll try. (Calm down. I want to help.)''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Just... Hang on, we'll save you. So... Let me know who you are.)''

*{{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|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... When I heard everyone's voice in the El... I was really happy. I thought I would be fine sacrificing myself to protect everyone... But that wasn't entirely true.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I wanted to be with you guys just a bit longer. Laughing, crying... Maybe even fight, only to make up in the end. Just... spending time together. Maybe that's why I was able to hear your voice. All of your voices.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I don't know who that person is, or what he's like. But he kept reaching out to me and answering my questions. That's why... I believe he hasn't given up yet. Maybe he's just waiting like I was. For someone to reach out for them.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I know it's idealistic and naive to think we can save everyone we come across. But how can I give up first, when that person it still holding on? That's why I'll fight to the end. I'll save him.... Just like you all saved me. So tell me! Who are you?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ventus}} '''Ventus:''' ''Phew, sorry I'm late. I did try my best to come here on time, but you know how it is! I thought I was going to die several times over! You sure know how to pick your adventures. Oh no no, you don't want to touch him right now. You'll just get burnt again!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rosso}} '''Rosso:''' ''... Since somebody persistently asked me my name... My name is Rosso. And I am... What they call the Fire Master.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ventus}} '''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!''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Wake up.... Wake up.... Everyone! It's time to wake up!!''
