*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Sigh... I'm still feeling tense and everything hurts.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Perhaps this gem we've found will be an important lead. Although the energy it emits is very weak...''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Tsk, even though we have both the power source and the coordinates back to Elrianode... If only we had proper equipment...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''No use complaining now! Come on, let's go!''

*{{StoryIcon|Ain}} '''Ain:''' ''Hm? Mr. Guardian, what's wrong?''

|QuestCD=  

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''It's so dangerous... Do you think Master Ventus made it out alright?''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''What's strange is that the Dark El Hennon used definitely held powerful energy...''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''But the energy of the Dark El in the Demon Realm is very faint, almost non-existent.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Do you think demonic energy is preventing the energy of the Dark El from spreading?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Think about it. If the Dark El functions similarly to the El, then it makes more sense to think that it's the Dark El that spreads demonic energy.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''It's strange that the demonic energy concentration is abnormally high, but there's no doubt the Dark El exists somewhere in the Demon Realm, not to mention the information we've received from the spirits.''

*''Keee- Grrrrrr-!''

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''...! Enemies approaching, the numbers have increased significantly!''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Wait, is this... It's like the vision I had.)''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Is that actually becoming a reality? Am I... Am I about to lose everyone?)''

*{{StoryIcon|Ain}} '''Ain:''' ''(No... This place was changing even before. This distortion... It's like the Henir's rift when...!)''

----

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''There's an abnormality in this realm... This large energy...''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Nom nom... Salty...''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Oh my, looks like this girl was sucked into the dimensional rift with us. I guess it's better than being stuck with the monsters by herself...''

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

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Yes. It seems that the constant stimuli has caused the chaos to shift and change into a dimensional rift.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''You're right. We're back in the Demon Realm.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I see. So it wasn't the water that made it difficult to move, but the strong demonic energy of the Demon Realm.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''The fact we're back in the Demon Realm is concerning... And to be dropped in the water like this...''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''H, huh?''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''For now, we'll head there and get rest. We shouldn't push forward without rest like this.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Zzzz... Laby... Will help...''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''... Hey, someone take this pink blob.''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Although from the way she's acting, it's hard to think she earned their trust.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''We'll discuss further after we move to a safer location.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Yes, and I still don't sense any threats.''

The El Search Party enters the Deep-Sea Tunnel. It seems the old tunnel holds a secret...

|QuestAD=  

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''How strange for a space like this to exist under water. Lu, have you heard of a place like this?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Hm... I can't say I have.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rose}} '''Rose:''' ''Hm? There's something on the floor.... Rails?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''An artificial space beneath the sea, with built in rails... It must have been built to serve some kind of purpose.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''Then that something might be at the end of this tunnel.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''A tunnel hidden away like this? This smells trouble no matter how you look at it.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''The fact that there's a rail in a place like this means whatever they had to move was important, and they had a lot of it.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''We were originally going to rest then head back out, but what do you think?''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''There's some merit to investigating. If we're lucky, we can figure out where we are.''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Yeah, I would feel better once I know where we are.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''Mm, well... She doesn't exactly look 'startled'.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Nisha!! Did you hear that? We're in the Demon Realm!! Laby didn't think we'd make it here like poof!''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Well, you see, Rosso said Laby is from the Demon Realm!''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Rosso said that? Does that mean you're... A demon?''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''... I think you spoke too soon.''

*''Creeeeeek, creeeeeek...''

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

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''I still sense no life forms. There's not even a surge in energy level. But perhaps this is...?''

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''I think it's better to see for ourselves. It may have unique properties like the pink gas, so please be careful.''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''But it's surprising that we'd see these here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''I agree. I didn't expect to encounter machines here.''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Which means someone is regularly repairing these machines.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''The machines here... They didn't seem like they were just made to deliver packages considering how dangerous they were, right?''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Yes. The way they behaved were closer to that of a security system destroying any intruders.''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''What could be there underneath?''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Let's keep going. I think there's some important things to be discovered.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Don't worry. We're almost at the end of this tunnel.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I don't see anything special...''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''How disappointing. I thought we'd find something at the end of the tunnel.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''There was a space behind this door when I scanned...''

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''But it was connected to the Sea.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''It's a different model from the other machines, but it looks like it shares the same command.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I can't deal with anything with more than four legs...''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Beast ears and tail?! Is he with the guy who claimed himself to be Ran's right-hand man?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''???:''' ''You are...''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Um, hey, is it bad if someone has animal ears and tail? But Calonne has ears like that...''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''What do you... Did you already encounter a demon?''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Uh huh. Calonne is a nice demon who helped Laby to arrive at Elrianode.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''???:''' ''If you mean Ran, the commander of the Red Demon faction... No, I can't say we are well acquainted.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''My name is Winster. I am the tunnel's supervisor.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''I've merely entered a simple command to stop all intruders. Surely you agree that there should be some means to protect this place in case an enemy invades?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''To stop the intruders...? So there IS something beyond this tunnel.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''What? But I thought the only thing beyond this tunnel is...''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''And everything that was moved here, would have been moved using that method beyond this point.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''You... Are a demon.''
