Chapter 47

Following Winster's lead back to the White-Ghost Castle, the race to stop the invasion of Elrios and save Aegirp's soul from Berthe commences.

When the El Search Party finally arrive at the capital, they try to convince Haivan one last time.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Haivan: Ugh... Are you still following me?
  • Haivan: I hoped that you'd leave me be, after saving Father.
  • Winster: ...
  • Lu: Not until you give back the soul fragments!
  • Ciel: If you return them now, we'll forgive you... after a few smacks on the head of course.
  • Haivan: Stop treating me like a kid! Are you insane? You're in the middle of enemy territory.
  • Haivan: Why are you so desperate to take back the soul anyway? I get that Steel Queen was a fellow demon lord, but the White-Ghost King had nothing to do with the rest of you!
  • Elsword: But Elrios will be in danger when the portal is complete! You know what it's like to have your home devastated!
  • Haivan: What? But...
  • Raven: You are right. We have nothing to do with the White-Ghost King.
  • Raven: But it became our problem the moment Berthe targeted Elrios.
  • Chung: Elrios has yet to recover from the last demon invasion. We won't let a tragedy like that strike Elrios again!
  • Haivan: You don't get it! Damn! How stupid...
  • Nichel: Haivan, I know you weren't being truthful earlier. You said the reason why you didn't inform Berthe of Aurora was because you forgot. If so, how are you going to explain helping Winster escape?
  • Nichel: Please, just tell us the reason. You don't have to carry this burden alone. Let me help you.
  • Elsword: If Berthe is threatening you or if you are being forced in anyway, we can protect you like Winster.
  • Elsword: I promise to give it our all. So please, hand us the soul fragments. We do not want to fight you.
  • Haivan: You make me laugh! You think you're such a hero.
  • Haivan: I... I'm not risking my life for such stupid reasons!
  • Winster: Haivan.
  • Haivan: What, you want to lecture me again? I mean, you only told me that you're disappointed in me, like, a thousand times.
  • Winster: I... still don't understand why you are doing this. It can't be helped, since I always insisted, you follow my path...
  • Haivan: ...?!
  • Winster: You were always clever. I'm sure you already know that Berthe, who betrayed his lord, has no intention of keeping his word.
  • Winster: Even knowing that, you must have felt that you still had a better chance of achieving something you wanted under him than me.
  • Haivan: ... What?
  • Winster: I thought you understood... That even without words, you would know because we are family. However... I can't help but think it was my own obstinacy that drove you away.
  • Winster: ... I'm sorry I never listened to what you had to say. So please... It's not too late to stop.
  • Haivan: Why... are you apologizing?
  • Winster: Haivan...?
  • Haivan: ... Tsk, stand back!
  • EERREEEE- EEERREEE- EEEERREREE-
  • Ciel: Kugh! What's he up to now?!
  • Haivan: I'd really love to play with you more, but you really caught me at a bad time.
  • Haivan: We can hang out afterwards... if you manage to defeat the White-Ghost Army that is!
  • Winster: No, don't go! I cannot bear to lose you too...!
  • Ara: Winster, no! It's too dangerous! We understand how you feel, but you must stay with us!
  • Raven: The White-Ghost Army is coming! Stay in formation and prepare for an attack!
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Aisha: Is Haivan beyond this door?
  • Winster: Yes. The portal is located beyond the castle, so he most likely went that way.
  • Lu: It's as if Berthe is flaunting his complete control over the castle...
  • Raven: We managed to defeat the gatekeeper, but the White-Ghost Army is headed this way because of the device Haivan activated.
  • Elesis: Berthe in the front, White-Ghost soldiers in the back? We should handle them first if we don't want to be surrounded...
  • Ain: I don't think we have time to handle all of them.
  • Rose: But if we don't, they'll eventually storm the castle. We'll essentially be handing Berthe his entire army on a silver platter!
  • Asella: Don't bother. We'll stop the soldiers here!
  • Ara: Asella?!
  • Winster: Asella?! How did you get here?
  • Asella: Hey, brother-in-law! You look better than expected!
  • Asella: Nichel kept us updated with her communication device. We managed to reach the central area easily thanks to someone who is very familiar with the current situation here.
  • Chung: Will you be alright? If Berthe finds out you're here...
  • Asella: We decided, now is not the time to think about such matters. With how the situation is currently panning out, you are the ones most likely to stop Berthe and revive the White-Ghost King.
  • Asella: And if we miss this opportunity, we'll likely never get another one. So we will do everything we can to help.
  • Asella: Everyone, get to your positions! Stop the White-Ghost Army so the El Search Party can enter the castle!
  • Asella: Leave this place to us, and go!
  • Lu: Alright, we will leave this to you.

Description

The El Search Party defeats the gatekeeper and enters the White-Ghost Castle, but the enemy stops them once more.
As they face the enemy, Calonne's reinforcement arrives at just the right time...

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Elsword: This place is huge! Much bigger than expected. Which way do we go?
  • Hadron: You... Stop right there!
  • Ciel: Ah, looks like we failed to completely take him out.
  • Winster: Hm? That voice...!
  • Hadron: Hahaha! Not bad, for a bunch of humans... But you will go no further!
  • Elsword: What is up with this guy? We knock him down, but he keeps getting back up! He was slow, but getting faster... and now he's flying over our heads... So annoying!
  • Rena: Thankfully, Asella seems to be stopping any other reinforcements from coming... We just need to take him down!
  • Elesis: ... If we catch him, that is. He's a bit tricky for me to catch him with my sword.
  • Hadron: Hahahaha! You think land crawlers like you can take me on?!!
  • Elsword: Grrr...! Stop flying around like a coward and fight us fair and square!
  • Winster: ... He seems familiar.
  • Ain: Was he one of the White-Ghost King's as well?
  • Winster: He wasn't one of the engineers, but if I remember correctly, then...
  • Deborah: He was one of mine.

  • Deborah: Kuhuhu... Finally! After years of waiting! I finally set foot on my homeland!
  • Aisha: Another Garen?! When did she get so close?

  • Add: Damn it, another reinforcement?!
  • Laby: Oh! Furry!!
  • Elsword: Fu, Furry?
  • Winster: Deborah...!
  • Aisha: Wait... Do you all know each other? Then...
  • Calonne: At last, the White-Ghost King's most loyal are finally gathered in one place.
  • Calonne: It's been too long. The wait was long and arduous, but now, it seems the everlasting yearning has been washed away with joy.
  • Winster: That voice... Calonne? Is that you, Calonne?
  • Calonne: Hahaha, yes, but I'm still in Elrios, in front of the machine we used, to send the El Search Party to the White-Ghost Land.
  • Calonne: I'm speaking through a communication device. The connection is surprisingly good, considering we're in different worlds, but I suspect it's because I'm standing right by the portal.
  • Winster: How did you know we'd be here, right at this moment?
  • Calonne: Ah, it was a pleasant surprise for us as well. The moment I informed Deborah we could go back, she insisted on leaving immediately and wouldn't relent.
  • Calonne: I told her the castle would be too dangerous, but she refused to listen, so I had to let her through.
  • Calonne: Good timing though, I didn't expect you would also be there.
  • Calonne: Now, are you in need of assistance?
  • Laby: Uh huh! We're stuck 'cuz this flying guy is keep running away from us!
  • Deborah: He's my subordinate. I felt him here, because he was too weak to go to Elrios. He became strong while I was gone.
  • Deborah: But to use that strength to ally himself with that betrayer of our lord? Hey, you! Human pups! Leave this one to me!
  • Add: If you wish.
  • Raven: Fine. We'll just lure him down here one more time!
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Ain: We can leave the rest, to the demon over there. Did you find the way to the central portal?
  • Winster: The portal is located at the castle dungeon. If we were to follow the proper procedures, the gamekeepers would open the gate after giving it a clear...
  • Eve: Wait, it's activating.
  • Whirrrr
  • Nichel: Why is the elevator moving by itself?
  • Elsword: Looks like somebody if finally ready to play with us.
  • Winster: ...
  • Ain: This is the second time we're facing off like this.
  • Winster: These machines were in Iserlohn...!
  • Elesis: War machines? There are so many of them... Don't tell me they were planning to take them all to Elrios?
  • Haivan: That was the plan! At least my boss's anyway... But I have no intention to act out Berthe's plan.
  • Haivan: So don't worry about it. These machines will never reach Elrios, and neither will Berthe.
  • Ara: Neither will Berthe? What do you mean?
  • Haivan: You want to know what my plan is? I intend to give all the soul fragments to Berthe for a full awakening. The portal is just a distraction.
  • Haivan: Now that you know my true purpose, will you give up? Didn't think so. Because you're here to revive the White-Ghost King.
  • Lu: I don't understand. What do you gain from this?
  • Haivan: The absolute end of the White-Ghost King's era.
  • Lu: You must be blind if you think Aegirp will cause as much harm as Berthe.
  • Haivan: Of course not. Berthe has got nothing on her.
  • Haivan: The White-Ghost King is too powerful. So powerful that everyone wants to rely on her, and seeks her power.
  • Elsword: ...
  • Solace: A power without a price that's well within reach....
  • Solace: It's only natural to react in some way, when you are well within the influence of the El.
  • Haivan: But power we cannot control will inevitably bring disaster, and another just like Berthe will appear down the line.
  • Haivan: All these machines were built in Rigomor. What do you think? Do you still think we need the White-Ghost King ever with all this power?
  • Eve: That is beside the point. Your family and friends wish to revive the White-Ghost King in hopes of a better future, not because they seek her power like Berthe.
  • Eve: Your intentions to attack us with these machines show you are no different from him.
  • Winster: Haivan, I wished for revenge against Berthe and other traitors. However, I was well aware that I wasn't on the righteous path.
  • Winster: But that was the path I decided to placate my brethren. We would have all drowned in overwhelming despair otherwise. I for one, felt it acutely.
  • Winster: I am not trying to justify my actions. But with everyone drowning in despair, uniting under a common enemy, preparing for war and reviving Lord Aegirp...
  • Winster: ... were the only things I could do within my capabilities.
  • Haivan: ...
  • Winster: I understand it must have been confusing and hard to accept my contradicting behavior. I can't help but think my actions have forced you on this path.
  • Winster: But please, believe me when I say Lord Aegirp's true power does not stem from brute strength.
  • Winster: Her true power is her ability to unite people under one cause. Only she can reunite the divided people.
  • Winster: Even now, her vision to have everyone come together peacefully resulted in many, gathering here today, across different worlds.
  • Haivan: That's what you're getting at? You still don't understand, do you, Father?
  • Haivan: Do you think they all gathered here because of the White-Ghost King's vision? Don't make me laugh! This is your accomplishment!
  • Winster: What...?
  • Haivan: It's because you dedicated your life to revive her. Because you yearned so desperately that you would seek help from strangers from another world!
  • Haivan: You were the one who consoled those in despair, showing them hope that one day, everything could go back to the way it was before...
  • Haivan: Why... Why must all your efforts be lumped together under the White-Ghost King's Accomplishments...!
  • Chung: ...
  • Haivan: The White-Ghost King is merely a wraith from a bygone era. I just believe you...
  • Haivan: ...
  • Haivan: That we, have to forge a greater path on our own. A path we can build with our strength alone, without being swayed by a greater power such as the White-Ghost King.
  • Haivan: To do that, the White-Ghost King's reign must remain as a thing of the past.
  • Eve: Is your wish, for your people to become completely independent of the influence of the White-Ghost King?
  • Eve: To forge one's path... I can relate to that desire, but your decision to side with Berthe still does not make sense.
  • Elsword: You're still hiding something, aren't you?
  • Haivan: ... You want to know?
  • Haivan: I am going to take back our potential that the White-Ghost King has taken. In order to do that, I also need that damn soul.
  • Ain: You are finally facing us seriously.
  • Haivan: You want to save the White-Ghost King? Then you'll have to defeat me first!

Description

The El Search Party ask Haivan about his plan and a way to save the White-Ghost King.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Raven: ... I hope this managed to cool your head.
  • Haivan: ... Ugh, I think you broke a couple of my ribs.
  • Ciel: You're lucky that's all that's broken after that battle.
  • Elesis: Now tell us, what's the plan? Is it true that the portal is not linked to Elrios?
  • Haivan: Is Elrios all you ever think about? If your home is so precious to you, why couldn't you just leave me alone?
  • Elesis: ...
  • Haivan: ... I guess I can tell you, as a thanks for no breaking all my bones.
  • Haivan: The portal will activate, but it's very unlikely to be linked to Elrios. It's a waste of time worrying about it.
  • Aisha: How do you know? The old coordinates they used before might still be in the system!
  • Haivan: If it were, it isn't anymore. I entered random numbers as coordinates when I repaired the portal.
  • Chung: Huh...?! Then where is the portal linked to?
  • Haivan: How should I know? It could open up thousands of miles above land, causing those that used the portal to plunge to the ground.
  • Haivan: Or, it could open underground. Then when they teleport they will end up smooshed like so!
  • Aisha: Gah...! Do you have to use your hands to describe in such graphic details?
  • Haivan: If they're really, really, REALLY lucky, then it COULD open if Elrios on land. But the likelihood is so low, that is might as well be 0.
  • Lu: What were you going to do with Aegirp's soul?
  • Haivan: ...
  • Nichel: We were able to read more memories as we approached closer to the soul fragments. Does that have anything to do with it?
  • Haivan: Oh, so you heard it too? Yeah, that memory? It's the White-Ghost King that's showing us her memory.
  • Rena: The White-Ghost King is attempting to communicate with us?
  • Haivan: ... Despite the White-Ghost King's soul being split into several fragments, her conscience still remains in each of her soul fragments, unlike other souls.
  • Haivan: To be precise, they are part of her conscience. In any case... when all the soul fragments merge together into one soul, that soul becomes the White-Ghost King. Do you understand?
  • Elsword: Yeah, but what happens when Berthe absorbs the soul?
  • Eun: ... There will be two souls in one body.
  • Ara: Wait! Does that mean... that when Berthe swallows the entire soul, the White-Ghost King will be able to take over Berthe's control of the body?
  • Haivan: So you understand! That's right. Thought Berthe seems to think he could just absorb them to make himself more powerful.
  • Ara: But in actuality, he is giving the White-Ghost King partial control over his body...
  • Aisha: Yikes... That's really dangerous!
  • Aisha: I'm not exactly an expert on that field... But there are many records of people losing their humanity after attempting to control souls.
  • Chung: Losing their humanity...
  • Aisha: It's the natural outcome of those who lose the battle to control the body.
  • Haivan: When two souls disagree, it leads to a fight to take control of the body. Of course, most will be swallowed up instantly by the White-Ghost King...
  • Haivan: But Berthe will not go away that easily. It'll be a fierce battle. They will have to fight to the end, until they both cease to exist.
  • Raven: You sound confident that there won't be a clear winner, but what happens when one becomes the victor and is able to take complete control of the body?
  • Haivan: The result will be the same. When the soul takes damage, the body will take damage as well.
  • Haivan: Whoever takes over the body will still crumble, due to the sustained damage. The White-Ghost King won't even have time to leave a message.
  • Ciel: In other words, your method will kill Berthe, while removing any chance of the White-Ghost King's revival.
  • Haivan: Precisely. How else am I supposed to get rid of both of them, if not for petty tricks like these?
  • Lu: I cannot find holes in your plan. You're likely right. An unstable soul loses power and disappears if it doesn't find another host.
  • Haivan: ... Suppose the White-Ghost King is a great ruler. But for how long? Power is power. It does not discriminate between good and evil.
  • Haivan: In that aspect, the White-Ghost King's soul is trouble just waiting to happen. That's why it should be split into tiny pieces so even the weakest can utilize its power, or get rid of it completely.
  • Eve: Isn't that what the White-Ghost King has done?
  • Haivan: Huh? What do you mean?
  • Eve: Don't you see? The White-Ghost King has already done exactly as you said. She split her soul and scattered them across her land.
  • Eve: If she wished to revive, even after her death, to rule over her land in all eternity, splitting her soul is not the most efficient method.
  • Eve: I suspect she did not leave her soul to live an eternal life.
  • Haivan: ... But if that's the case... Why did she announce the possibility to return?
  • Eve: Only the White-Ghost King would know the actual reason, but... perhaps she meant it as a gift for the future generation. Plus...
  • Eve: This is only my speculation... But I think she wished to see the future that unfolds, created by her people...
  • Haivan: ...
  • Nichel: Haivan, I think the world you dream of, could be better ultimately, than the world the White-Ghost King wished to build.
  • Haivan: ... I heard a big 'but' in your words. Are you about to scold me?
  • Nichel: Haha. Yeah. I have some choice words to say to the prodigal son.
  • Nichel: On our way here, we encountered White-Ghost soldiers. The captain wished to surrender to guarantee their safety. They didn't want, nor expect anything more.
  • Nichel: I felt that we were very different from the short conversation I had with him. We were different because fundamentally, we were raised differently.
  • Nichel: It's something you and I, and those from Elrios understood, but the Garens from this land didn't.
  • Laby: Something we understand, too?
  • Nichel: We know how to get along with others. It comes to us natrually because that's how we were raised.
  • Nichel: But the world the White-Ghost Army lived in, must have been vastly different from ours.
  • Chung: Berthe was never a ruler, not even an incompetent one.
  • Nichel: You always said that everything accomplished in the past were actually done by our own hands. I agree. We grew up in a world, built by those who aspired for such a world.
  • Nichel: But I don't think those who lived under Berthe's rule will be able to accept that immediately.
  • Nichel: Once Berthe and the White-Ghost King are gone, will the people realize their own potential and live in conjunction?
  • Nichel: Or will a second, a third Berthe appear and rip apart the White-Ghost Land?
  • Haivan: ... Do you want the White-Ghost King to return as well?
  • Nichel: Not because she's the ruler, but because she had a vision... long before she came to rule.
  • Nichel: I believe she is needed as a well-respected pioneer who gathered the people and ended a long-standing conflict.
  • Nichel: Who knows? With her insight and knowledge, we might be able to create the world we wanted without having to fight like today.
  • Haivan: ...
  • Lu: The world Aegirp wished to build was not the kind that could be built alone. That's why she needed help from her allies such as Winster.
  • Lu: The reason why she revealed her weakness and told you about her soul was likely in the same vein, because she trusted you all.
  • Lu: That's why I ask you, please open the path so we may save Aegirp.
  • Haivan: ... Hmph! So you say. Fine, go save her for all I care.
  • Lu: Hm?
  • Haivan: I shoved all the soul fragments into his greedy maw, so the fight for control should begin soon...
  • Haivan: But if you manage to defeat Berthe before the fight intensifies, perhaps she'll have just enough power left to leave a message.
  • Winster: Haivan...
  • Haivan: Ugh...! What are you staring at? You better leave now, lest you blame me later for not making it in time!
  • Lu: Huhu, alright. We will leave you two to have a heart-to-heart between father and son.
  • Haivan: Tsk, you're really not the sort I wish to befriend.
  • Lu: Is that so? I, for one, am just about to get used to your bratty behavior.
  • Elsword: At last, it's time for the final showdown with Berthe!
  • Rena: With Elrios' safety confirmed, I feel much lighter! We can face Berthe without worries!
  • Add: Hmph, you'd think we've won already from the way you act.
  • Ain: It's understandable. We faced against him for a long time.
  • Elsword: Let's go! Berthe and the White-Ghost King.

They finally face Berthe.
The final battle is finally here.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Elsword: I'm just sick of having to see his ugly mug.
  • Ain: Looks like he was waiting for us.
  • Berthe: ... You went against me for far too long.
  • Berthe: I find this long standing enmity between us amusing. You were there to stop me every step of the way in Elrios.
  • Berthe: The first time it happened, I didn't mind. There were many other methods other than that El Shard, and I managed to gain something unexpected.
  • Berthe: The second time my plan was foiled. I was assured of my success, yet, I had to retreat after a humiliating defeat...
  • Berthe: That was the moment I felt a strange sense of destiny. And when other commanders fell one by one, I was certain...
  • Berthe: That unless we defeat you, the red-headed boy... this cycle would never end.
  • Elsword: Is that your final will? What is up with all this sentimental talk?
  • Berthe: Kuhuhu... But the third time... The third time we met, you ran for your lives with your tail between your legs.
  • Berthe: I knew that it wouldn't be long until I would have to search all of Elrios to chase you down.
  • Berthe: But I did not expect you to come crawling back this perfect moment, when I finally acquire this great power. Interesting...
  • Lu: That power is not yours to have! It is Aegirp's, you foul beast!
  • Berthe: Ah... You mean that mutt? Kuhuhu... Yes, for a mongrel, her power is useful. If I have acquired it sooner, it would have been much easier to take over Elrios...
  • Berthe: But that is precisely the reason why I feel a strange fondness of this enmity.
  • Berthe: If it weren't for you getting in my way, I would have devastated Elrios without fail. Of course, that would have been enjoyable in and of itself. However...
  • Berthe: ... If I had... I wouldn't have obtained this power.
  • Aisha: You dare...!
  • Raven: If you think we're just some trial, arranged for you by fate, you better think again!
  • Eve: You are just a despicable monster seeking carnage and destruction. Nothing more, nothing less.
  • CLINK

  • Elsword: We faced each other four times. That's enough, don't you think?

  • Elsword: Need I say more? Let's fight! We'll settle this for good!

  • Berthe: You take the words out of my mouth! This time, I will defeat you and end this once and for all. Kuhahahaha...!!
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Berthe: Hahahaha! I feel power coursing through my veins...! This is what I wanted, an absolute power without compare!
  • Berthe: Now, face me. What happened? You seemed so confident earlier.
  • Aisha: Ugh... I don't want to admit it, but he's scarily strong now... Just a brush of his attack will be fatal for us...!
  • Eve: But his attack patterns are more or less the same as before.
  • Rena: Mmhm. Still basic and transparent.
  • Elsword: Hmph! But he's so much stronger, which is the problem.
  • Raven: ... Elsword, watch carefully.
  • Elsword: Huh?
  • Raven: His attacks are becoming messy. It's barely noticeable at the moment... But his balance is off.
  • Chung: ... Is it starting?
  • Raven: Probably.
  • Ara: Yes... I notice a foreign energy that is now his.
  • BANG!
  • Berthe: Gaa... ack! What is...!
  • Ain: It's happening quicker than expected. His overwhelming ego helped us greatly...
  • Lu: You see, you greedy beast. That power was never something you could handle.
  • Berthe: Kugh...! Power... I can't handle...?!
  • Lu: No matter what you do, you will never be a suitable vessel for Aegirp's soul. Give up!
  • Berthe: Grrrr... Silence...! I will not yield. Not until I shred your world to pieces...!
  • Eve: How ignorant. He isn't aware that it's the hatred that's eating away his life. I can understand the sense of cynicism the White-Ghost King felt before meeting the Demon King.
  • Elsword: Do you even know why you hate Elrios? Can you really say that feeling it wholly yours?
  • Berthe: Kuhuhu... Elrios is a mere stepping stone. It's a way to commence the fall of Heaven.
  • Ain: The fall... of Heaven?
  • Zero: (Rose! Does this mean...)
  • Rose: (... He is not talking about our world. But it's strange. It almost sounds like...)
  • Elsword: Heaven...? What are you talking about? Elrios is not the final objective?
  • Berthe: Kuhuhu... Yes, and it has already begun. Are you still unaware of the truth? The boy who resonates with the El...!
  • Berthe: Your existence itself, is evidence of a flaw.
  • Elsword: ...!!
  • Solace: Other than the El Lady... a being who resonates with the El to the point they could restore the El.
  • Solace: What are you?
  • Elsword: You... What...?
  • Elsword: You... know something...! Tell me! What am I!
  • Berthe: Ku... ugh, Kuuuuaaaaahhh!!!

  • Nichel: Yes, I'm with Winster and Haivan at the castle, since we won't be able to help out in battle.
  • Nichel: How is it over there, Asella? How are others doing?
  • Asella: We're doing well. The White-Ghost Army was visibly startled by the disturbance created by your fight.
  • Asella: Some of them deserted the fight after that thunderous sound. It's giving us some relief.
  • Nichel: Are you going to track them down? I personally think it would be better to leave the deserters be.
  • Asella: I agree. Grr... It seems Berthe was only interested in quashing any discontent with brute force. There's no sign of proper training in any of them.
  • Asella: The deserting White-Ghost soldiers actually look relieved. They seem to think they can run without Berthe's notice in the midst of the chaos.
  • Deborah: I suppose not many of them agree to the invasion. Are you doing to retreat?
  • Asella: No, Deborah. We are going to use this opportunity to encourage more soldiers to run away.
  • Nichel: That sounds good. Thought most of them are running away now, we don't know when the tide will turn the other way.
  • Nichel: We should go along with Asella's plan and completely disintegrate the army while the El Search Party is handling Berthe.
  • Winster: ... Deborah, will you assist Asella?
  • Winster: There may be other soldiers that were under Lord Aegirp who were directly transferred to Berthe's army like Hadron.
  • Calonne: Deborah's presence should help spread the bewilderment among the White-Ghost Army.
  • Deborah: Alright. I'll be on my way.
  • Winster: ... Nichel, let us move somewhere safer and avoid the mayhem.
  • Nichel: Is there any way we can help the El Search Party? Use the machines?
  • Winster: I don't think they'd be enough to handle Berthe with Lord Aegirp's power. The El Search Party will be fine. Let us have faith.
  • Winster: ... But, perhaps we can help in disintegrating the White-Ghost Army.
  • Haivan: ... Something's not right.
  • Nichel: What?
  • Asella: ZZZT--- ZZZZZT---- --chel, Nichel!
  • Nichel: Ugh?! Asella? What is all this static?
  • Asella: Wha--t is ha--- ening---- castle------
  • Nichel: Asella? I cannot hear you, the connection is poor! Is everything alright?
  • Asella: It's-- not-- --- us! Go--- -----
  • Winster: Nichel! Look outside! The entire area is fogging over with some kind of barrier!
  • Haivan: ... Why? Why would she choose such an extreme method? I didn't mean for...
  • Winster: That... That is Lord Aegirp's ability. But such an ominous aura... Haivan! What is going on down there?
  • Haivan: This can't... If this continues, we'll all...!
  • Nichel: Haivan! Get it together! What exactly is going on?!
  • Winster: Haivan, do you know what's going on?
  • Winster: Tell us. You're the only one that can give us an answer. What can we do?
  • Haivan: Father...
  • Haivan: ...
  • Haivan: Help me up. We need to find the El Search Party, before it's too late!
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Berthe: Kugh... Kuuuuaaaaahhh...!!!
  • Elesis: Ugh... I don't feel bad for him, but that's a gruesome sight. His whole body is contorting out of control...
  • Chung: ... What exactly is going on?
  • Lu: It's the clash of two souls. Aegirp and Berthe are rejecting each other.
  • Elsword: Clash of souls...?
  • Lu: Yes. They are clashing with each other. Imagine two people standing with a door between them.
  • Lu: If one pushes while the other pulls simultaneously, the door will not move in either direction. Instead, their action will likely cause the doorknob to break.
  • Eun: Self-contradiction.
  • Ara: Because the two egos within one body do not agree... The body is harmed instead.
  • Haivan: Ironic, isn't it? There isn't a more extreme, awful display of self-denial.
  • Elesis: Haivan? Nichel and Winster too... Why are you all here?! It's dangerous!
  • Haivan: Ugh... Can you not shout? My head is ringing.
  • Haivan: Hey, your highness? We don't have much time, so let's make this quick. First of all, this is really not the outcome I intended.
  • Lu: ... Explain.
  • Haivan: As I explained earlier, my purpose was to instigate a fight over the control of Berthe's body. In order to do that, I planted suggestions to the White-Ghost King's soul.
  • Haivan: I told her that all her achievements will fall apart if she doesn't stop Berthe.
  • Elsword: Isn't that... right? Berthe is in pain because the White-Ghost King is going against him, right?
  • Haivan: No. What she's doing is not fighting for control over his body.
  • Haivan: You understand, your highness? The White-Ghost King created a barrier surrounding this area and is letting her power go out of control without concern for her own safety.
  • Lu: Wait... You mean...!
  • Haivan: The White-Ghost King would rather destroy everything at the cost of her own life, than have her power and the portal used to destroy Elrios.
  • BANG!
  • Elesis: Ugh! Berthe is thrashing more violently!
  • Aisha: Not only that, I sense a raging wave of magic!
  • Raven: She won't stop until complete annihilation...! At this rate, we won't be able to guarantee our own lives. Let's retreat!
  • Haivan: We can't. We're already within the barrier casted by the White-Ghost King's soul.
  • Elsword: What?!
  • Haivan: Calm down. It took longer than I thought to explain everything. Anyway, that's why I'm here. I know a way to have her reel back.
  • Add: Why should we trust you?
  • Haivan: I planned this to happen. Of course I'll make sure to have a fallback plan. We'll be safe as long as you do exactly as I tell you.
  • Zero: ... Alright, what is this plan?
  • Haivan: Simple. Right now, the White-Ghost King's and Berthe's soul, and Berthe's body that's acting as a vessel, are very unstable due to the clash between two souls.
  • Haivan: So in order to stabilize the soul, we need to have the soul transported to a new vessel.
  • Haivan: Help me get in contact with the soul. Then everything will fall into place.
  • Nichel: ... How?
  • Haivan: Is my explanation too hard? I tried to make it as simple as possible. Then...
  • Nichel: I'm not talking about the plan. You said earlier that Berthe and the White-Ghost King were going to fight each other to gain control of the body.
  • Nichel: I'm asking you what will happen to you, if the White-Ghost King's soul is transported to you after you come in contact with the soul.

Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives
  • Complete the Self-Contradiction story quest
Description

The battle, tainted with greed and regret, spirals down uncontrollably. But an answer must be found. Who will persuade the king away from sure destruction?

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Haivan: ... Damn it. You're usually so clueless... Why are you so quick to catch on in these kinds of situations?
  • Winster: Haivan! Is that true?
  • Haivan: ... Will you let me finish? besides... this method will guarantee the White-Ghost King's revival. I'm not exactly fond of this situation, but...
  • Winster: Nonsense! I won't allow it!
  • Haivan: Calm down. Think positively! Your long wish of the White-Ghost King's revival will finally be realized.
  • Haivan: Though, she wouldn't look like the old White-Ghost King that you know.
  • Winster: Don't be foolish! I... How could you think I'd be willing to give you up...!
  • Elsword: You're going to kill yourself! What's so positive about that?
  • Haivan: Sorry, this is the best possible outcome in this situation.
  • Haivan: Actually, well... I deliberated for a long time to make sure no one else will be tangled in this mess, but everything kind of spiraled out of control...
  • Haivan: B, but some of this is your fault for meddling! ... So just help me sort this out for this, yeah?
  • Chung: But... but... this...
  • Haivan: Aww, why the long face? We fought each other just moments ago. Besides, Berthe and the White-Ghost King clashed because of their differences.
  • Haivan: And... that might not happen with me. Well, I guess I could be swallowed up by her overwhelming power.
  • Haivan: If I'm lucky, we will coexist. I mean, it's just a theory, but it seemed feasible! So...
  • Nichel: ... Alright. Thank you Haivan. El Search Party, please, carry out according to Haivan's plan.
  • Rena: Nichel...!
  • Haivan: Sigh... Thanks for the understanding.
  • Nichel: Don't get me wrong, I'm thanking you for telling me the method. I'm going to be the one to make contact with the soul.
  • Haivan: Wait, what?!
  • Nichel: Didn't you tell the El Search Party to stop acting like a hero? Well right now, you're the one that's acting like you have a hero complex.
  • Nichel: Those who sacrifice themselves are no hero. They're just casualties. If you want to be a hero so much, grow up. Really, you may have gotten taller, but you're still such a kid. You can't do whatever you want and expect the rest of us to just follow you.
  • Haivan: You're the one doing whatever you want right now! Why are you jumping into my mess!
  • Haivan: There's no way you can survive slashing with the White-Ghost King! I didn't do all this just to lose you!
  • Winster: Yes, Nichel, don't do it. I can't let you do this...
  • Winster: There must be another way. So...!
  • Nichel: Winster, I'm not trying to sacrifice myself. I have a plan. I'm going to convince the White-Ghost King.
  • Nichel: El Search Party! Will you trust me and open the path?
  • Elsword: ... Nichel, are you sure? You're really going to be fine?
  • Elesis: Elsword?!
  • Elsword: Nichel was the first one to hear the White-Ghost King, and the first to be led by the soul.
  • Elsword: ... If something doesn't seem right, we're going to drag you out no matter what happens. So I'll ask this one last time. Nichel, are you sure?
  • Nichel: ... Yah! I can do this!
  • Nichel: As long as the White-Ghost King didn't completely lose herself, she will be compelled to respond to my request, just like she did with the Demon King.
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Ara: Oh...! Look at the sky. The white barrier that surrounded the area is rescinding!
  • Raven: The violent energy is calming down... Did she succeed?
  • Chung: Is this a good sign? I can't see anything because of the fog. Is Nichel alright?
  • Rena: I don't think it's safe to approach her yet. Let's have faith and wait a little longer.
  • Deborah: You! What is going on?
  • Laby: Oh, hey Furry! Did you come after the fog disappeared?
  • Asella: Yes, is everyone alright? Something here stopped us from approaching any closer. The communication device wasn't working as well. Was it Berthe's doing?
  • Haivan: Nichel...! Let me go! Nichel! Nichel!!!
  • Asella: Nichel? Is Nichel over there? Would somebody please explain what's going on right now!
  • Lu: Shhh, look over there.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): ... My arrogance is what has caused all of this.
  • Deborah: White-Ghost King... Lord Aegirp!
  • Elsword: Huh? But she sounds like Nichel...?

  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): ... As I witnessed my land flourish, I foolheartedly believed that I was walking the right path. I was blinded by my pride of what I have managed to accomplish.

  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): I believed that as long as I show good faith, the others would follow. Even though I knew that people did no change easily...

  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): My hasty decision and arrogance led to losing a treasured subordinate today.
  • Chung: White-Ghost King...!
  • Calonne: But you still have us.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): ... I can only thank you for your loyalty, Calonne.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): And... Luciela.
  • Lu: Long time no see, Aegirp.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): You've changed... since we last saw each other.
  • Lu: Huhu, I could say the same for you. What happened?
  • Ara: The White-Ghost King is back. But that must mean...
  • Eun: I feel a familiar presence within the White-Ghost King. Pay close attention, Ara.
  • Ara: Huh? Oh... That means...!
  • Winster: Lord Aegirp... Your presence...
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): I am aware of what you fear. Do not worry. This child is merely stepping aside momentarily to allow me to say my piece.
  • Haivan: Nichel! What happened to Nichel?!
  • Ara: Right now, the two souls within Nichel are at a balance.
  • Ara: We won't have to worry about her losing control of one of their souls being destroyed.
  • Haivan: She didn't... disappear? They are existing together...? Truly?
  • Ain: So... like Ms. Fox.
  • Rena: Huh? What did you say?
  • Ain: It's nothing. Anyway, it seems Ms. Dog's gamble paid off.
  • Laby: Haivan! Nichel is ok! So don't cry!
  • Haivan: Wh, who's crying?!
  • Haivan: And you, if you're done talking, get out of Nichel's body, you wraith!
  • Elesis: Sigh... the way he changes his tune...!
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): I'm sorry, but I must decline.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): I cannot help but look forward to see the world this child is dreaming of.

Description

The El Search Party ask the White-Ghost King about the Dark El.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Haivan: Ah, owowowow, Father! I'm injured! And see? Everything turned out fine!
  • Winster: You still haven't learned! Give up your life?? How could you say such a thing in front of your father!
  • Winster: Haivan! Don't run away while I'm still talking to you!
  • Haivan: OW! Pulling my tail is cheating! You can't do that to your kid!
  • Asella: Stop it! You two are exactly the same! We can't talk with you both acting like children!
  • Deborah: And so... we had to remain in Northern Empire while you were asleep.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): It must have been difficult, thank you for your perseverance. Now, you can return home. Calonne, when do you expect to come back?
  • Calonne: Haha, I have made myself a home here, so I don't think I will come back anytime soon.
  • Calonne: Please, let me continue my duty from here.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): Your duty? Do you mean as the delegate? Is that still feasible? Do humans also live as long as demons do when they are a lord?
  • Calonne: The lifespan of a human still remains the same. However, the current lord is quite open-minded.
  • Calonne: He is still treating us fairly even with the knowledge that we are demons. I suspect he is a descendant of the Lord you interacted with, far down the line.
  • Laby: Oh yeah! Laby heard that Mao is now going to school because Lord helped!
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): Oh, you're... the El Search Party? I apologize, you must have been waiting for me to finish. I heard that you have something to ask?
  • Elesis: I understand your need to catch up.
  • Elsword: We came to the Demon Realm to find the Dark El. Do you know anything about it?
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): Dark El...? I do not recall anything of that name. What is it like?
  • Lu: It's a very large gem. It has the power to spout life in its surrounding area just with its existence.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): Hm... I cannot say I've heard of it. Is it in the Demon Realm? If so, it will be useful in calming the lands that have gone barren since the Demon King's disappearance...
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): I can only tell you that it is not in my land.
  • Elesis: Mm... I see. It makes sense. If you had something like it, you wouldn't have needed to trade with Northern Empire.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): I expect you would continue your journey in the Demon Realm? I would love to help in any way I can... But I cannot spare much at the moment.
  • Lu: Understandable. It will take a long time to get everything back on track after Berthe made a mess of it.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): Yes, in addition, I would have to ask for Nichel's opinion as the owner of this body.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): I cannot help you at the moment. I was gone for a long time. As such, I know little of the current situation in the Demon Realm. Please understand.
  • White-Ghost King (Nichel): But I will never forget your assistance.
  • Ciel: ... For the White-Ghost King to not know of the Dark El when even Berthe knows, the Dark El might have appeared relatively recently.
  • Eve: Or, it might be very ancient. I don't think Berthe was particularly knowledgeable on the subject.
  • Ain: I concur. He contaminated El shards to use them as Dark El, which isn't the true Dark El.
  • Rena: Since the El is a gift from the goddess to Elrios, maybe the Dark El was a gift from the Demon God, in ancient times.
  • Add: We can only speculate, since we still don't know anything about it.
  • Aisha: There must be some kind of information on it. The demons wouldn't have decided to contaminate the El shards to create Dark Els out of nowhere.
  • Aisha: Somebody in the Demon Realm spread that information around.

[Village] Danger That Doesn't End
{{
Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives
  • Complete the [Village] Peace Returned story quest
Description

Though Berthe is defeated, the army in Red Demon Land is still looking for a way to invade Elrios.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Nichel: Thank you, El Search Party. I know I asked a lot, but you risked your lives to fulfill my request anyway.
  • Rose: Are you now Nichel?
  • Nichel: Yeah. Strange, right?
  • Elesis: It was surprising at first, but you look fine... I'm surprised your deal with the White-Ghost King was a success.
  • Rena: Yeah, what made you do it? It could have been dangerous for you if you failed.
  • Nichel: I felt something, whenever we encountered the soul fragments. When Haivan told us about the White-Ghost King's soul, I realized what that strange familiar feeling meant.
  • Nichel: And that the one worthy of absorbing the soul didn't mean one with power.
  • Raven: That one worthy... We subconsciously believed that the one to hold the White-Ghost King's soul, must be powerful enough to wield it.
  • Nichel: Yeah, but she wasn't talking about physical strength. That's why I thought I could try and talk to her.
  • Nichel: Since she longed for her people and land to flourish more than anyone else, I told her I will let her continue the work she had left unfinished.
  • Nichel: Hahaha. After all, I could relate very well. I think that's why she listened.
  • Nichel: Besides... I already knew that two souls could co-exist in one body.
  • Ara: Huhu, indeed.
  • Ara: (Oh, Eun. Is the White-Ghost King...?)
  • Eun: (She is not the one. Now that I've seen her, I can tell them apart.)
  • Ara: (I see! Thank goodness!)
  • Eun: (Hmph, why are you so happy? We still don't know who sealed me.)
  • Ara: (Aww, Eun! Don't be upset. I'm just happy we can be together a bit longer!)
  • Haivan: Hey, let me ask you something.
  • Elsword: Are you done being grounded? What's up?
  • Haivan: I heard you met Nero. Is that true?
  • Aisha: The self-proclaimed Ran's right-hand man? Yeah, we saw him in Varnimyr. Why ask?
  • Haivan: ... I see! That's why I couldn't find him in White-Ghost Land! He's in Red Demon King's territory...? Hm...
  • Chung: Do you know him?
  • Haivan: Yeah. Let's see... Listen carefully, alright?
  • Haivan: Besides the White-Ghost Army, most demons planning to invade Elrios should be gathered in Red Demon territory.
  • Haivan: Berthe's plan was to signal everyone on standby in the Red Demon Land to come over, once the portal is complete.
  • Elesis: Ah... I see. No wonder Ran and his henchmen weren't here. They were waiting for the completion of the portal.
  • Nichel: Don't worry, the portal is now completely under our supervision.
  • Haivan: But I heard they used something else to jump dimensions before, instead of the portal?
  • Rena: ... You're right. Since Ran has the Moon El... He might try to find another way, once he finds out that the portal is not a viable option for him.
  • Elsword: That's fine though, right? Since the Moon El should just be a shell after the restoration of the Large El.
  • Rena: You're not wrong... But the Moon El used to contain the power of an element. Something just feels fishy...
  • Ain: Oh, come to think about it, they also took a lot of gems from Varnimyr, but I don't think any of them ended up here.
  • Zero: That's suspicious. We should find out what they are planning to do with the gems.
  • Add: Why are you giving us all this information we didn't even ask for? You have a favor to ask?
  • Haivan: Of course! Give and take! If you're going to Red Demon King's territory, can I ask you a favor?
  • Elsword: What can we do?
  • Haivan: ... When you meet Nero...
  • Haivan: ... Tell him I'm not angry.
  • Elsword: ... Huh? Is that it? Just that?
  • Haivan: Yeah, that's it. And don't bully him too much ok? He's a good kid, not like me.
  • Aisha: I'm glad you're aware of your own rotten personality.
  • Eve: Now then... It seems we decided on our next destination?
  • Elesis: Ran is a cunning sort. He must have other tricks under his sleeves other than Berthe. Something other than the Army on standby in Red Demon Land.
  • Raven: The looming threat of a demon invasion still remains. We will need to face them sooner or later.
  • Ara: We'll finally see them.
  • Chung: Yes, soon...
  • Ain: (The hatred demons naturally harbor against Elrios... But if the demon commanders' final objective was actually Heaven...)
  • Ain: (Then the hatred demons have for Elrios, may actually be towards all worlds protected by god, rather than just Elrios.)
  • Ain: (This problem is not just between Elrios and the Demon Realm. I'll have to observe what happens more carefully for now.)
