*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''All that matters is that we saved him in the end! And everyone is safe and sound!''

*'''Ain:''' ''It's too early to let your guard down. Let's go past this realm before we relax.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''It is still the same passage. It is expected that the form will change with this place being the realm of chaos... But it does seem to have changed significantly since last time.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''It was expected that this realm would change forms, but this atmosphere...''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''I may consider him weak, but that's only in comparison to other Demon Kings. That being said, he's not actually powerful enough to subdue the Fire Master without revealing his true form. He did mention a bet. We'll need to ask the Red Demon King directly if we want to learn anything more.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Betrayal and Demonic power... The El Masters must be a dramatic sort of bunch.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''That the spirits won't know the exact location of the Dark El either?''

*'''Zero:''' ''Hmph. He sent us on a wild goose chase! That's what he did.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''It says we're close. Soon it will...''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Over there! A dimensional rift is opening!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''Everyone focus! There are more monsters coming this way!''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Damn it! Where are they all coming from? We can't even approach it!''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Kugh...! When did they...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Wait, is this... It's like the vision I had. Is that actually becoming a reality? Am I... Am I about to lose everyone? No... That can't be it. But if it is, then I...)''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''No. According to their movement patterns... The rift! They are heading towards Elrianode!''

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

*'''Zero:''' ''This is bad. I can't figure out how we can arrive quicker than those things.''

*'''Rose:''' ''Ugh... I'll distract them so find us a way, Zero!''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''The monsters are reaching the dimensional rift!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(How do I... At this rate, the monsters will reach Elrianode... And everyone...)''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Reinforcement? What a relief! It seems the monsters are moving slower as well!''

*'''Ain:''' ''Wait, Ms. Fox. Something's not right.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Their movements... Wait it's not just the monsters. This whole place is shifting!''

*'''Ain:''' ''(It's as she said. This area is... mutating. Is it because of the girl's interference? No... This place was changing even before. This distortion... It's like the Henir's rift when...!)''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Everyone, breathe!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Amazing. Thank you, Aisha.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''It's also easier to move. Your magic is truly amazing!''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''...! 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|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''I'm more worried about Elrianode. I hope the realm shifting like this didn't negatively impact the opened seal.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''I'm more worried about the masters and the priestesses. In any case, we'll have to find a way back as soon as possible.''

*''Keee-! Krrrr-!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Chased by a monster to land where there's another monster...''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Of course. This... looks like the whales we saw in that realm.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Don't tell me that the monsters there were actually mutated forms of these monsters here?''

|contents1=

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''It's amazing. There's no water, and it seems like there's enough air.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Hm... I can't say I have. But look at this place. It was clearly made to stay hidden from the public eye. It won't be easy to find places like this even if you tried.''

*'''Ain:''' ''Oh? Something interesting is floating past the window.''

*{{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|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Do you think demons moved something using the rails?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''A tunnel hidden away like this? This smells trouble no matter how you look at it. 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|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''We were originally going to rest then head back out, but what do you think?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''She must have no friends if she calls that strange thing a friend.''

*'''Ain:''' ''Is it so strange to talk to a floating object? I thought it was normal considering Mr. Ancient does it all the time.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Bellonde? Bellonde gave Laby a name!! Laby heard Bellonde slept for a very very long time. He told Laby that he has to be in Elrianode!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''He slept for a long time? And what do you mean, he has to be in Elrianode? Could it be...?''

*'''Laby:''' ''This... Is the Demon Realm...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Of course, you're startled. Who would've thought they'll end up in the Demon Realm?''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Ah, she looks... Really happy.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Ueh, bleh! Uuuuh... Salty...''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Salty? Why would gas taste like anything? Let me... Oh?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''I taste it. But... Don't you mean it's bitter?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Mm... When I tasted it, it was neither salty nor bitter, but sweet.''

*'''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|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''That's before he appeared. I think there's another transporting method other than the tunnel beyond this point.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''... So this was to protect your allies...''

*'''Winster:''' ''This region was under dispute between two races in the past. As the lands were barren, there just weren't enough for both races to co-exist peacefully. To survive, each race developed a skill to use against the other. One had absolute strength, while the other used wit and tools. The war continued between the two races until one demon ended the fight. She embraced both races without discrimination, and it seemed that the ware as finally over.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''No, if I'm correct, he's talking about...''

*'''Winster:''' ''However, she was betrayed, and the traitors who felled her drove us under the sea. We were hiding down here for a long time, waiting... Waiting for the day we will shred those who have betrayed our lord into pieces.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''Chung?''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''There's a village here that he wish to protect, right? I don't think he'll do anything to risk it.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''I think you should stop there, Ciel.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''So, we're decided?''

*'''Ain:''' ''So it's not suited for those from land...''

*'''Winster:''' ''Hm? This place...''

*'''Winster:''' ''Well, you see... The deep sea creatures here have strange... habits. They collect hard, or shiny objects to build their nests.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Hm? There's a creature fleeing from the submarine. It seems to be carrying the... energy core?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Wait, I sense someone.''

*'''???:''' ''Where is it hidden? Why is this happening now!''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''It looks like he's searching for something. I guess Winster wasn't lying about the creatures here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''It's fortunate. If he's from the village, he might know more about the area.''

*'''???:''' ''Winster...? My father?''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Your... Father?''

*'''???:''' ''... An invitation? Energy core... Then the crash earlier must have been father's submarine... And the creatures here probably took the energy core.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Not bad, you were able to deduce everything almost instantly.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''He told us that there was a ruler who united two races, and when the ruler was betrayed, you were exiled to live under the sea.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''It's as expected, but he kept to the basics. From what I heard, the Garen's betrayal was a lot more... Devastating.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Yeah. Garen have sharper fangs and claws, and superior strength. There's no Nous that can win against a Garen on a 1 on 1 fight.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Hmmm... That description really reminds me of someone.''

*'''Winster:''' ''... I see. Please forgive me for my insolence, Steel Queen.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''F, father?!''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''I knew you were hiding something from the beginning. As suspected, you were testing me.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... Are you really the Steel Queen?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Yes! Either we all go, or we all remain! We can't let Lu handle everything!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''We can return together after breaking the White-Ghost King's seal, right? We just need to stay in the Demon Realm a little longer.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I told you, I want to travel with Lu and Ciel, together. Let's all help resurrect the White-Ghost King and return to Elrianode together.''

*''Lu:''' ''......... Alright. I can agree with that.''

*'''Winster:''' ''... You really have changed.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Stop with the nonsense and lead the way. Preferably, somewhere without strange... Hm?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Good timing. I called someone to help us move the submarine to the village.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Oooh! Fluffy!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Yes. Since Nichel could have handled the upper levels alone, we don't need as many people.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''So four with Nichel, then five each for the center and lower levels?''

*'''Winster:''' ''All the monsters here consume icerites. Some mutated because of the amount of icerites here, while others consumed icerites from the start. They grow, absorbing the toxin from the icerites, then use it to protect themselves from their natural predators.''

*'''Ain:''' ''So they've adjusted to their environments? How fascinating.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Once we start operating the digger, the monsters will come. Please keep them away from the machines.''

}}

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''You are right. That's how I was. But that's how demons usually are. It's the one like the Red Demon King, who pokes his nose in everything, that's the odd one. Demons are naturally violent. They only know of ruling and being ruled. Harmony and Cooperation is something out of fairy tales. And still, Aegirp wished for peace, seems like Aegirp was even odder than I thought.''

*'''Winster:''' ''I understand how you feel. We were surprised when we first learned of her plan as well. In fact, I was against trading with Elrios.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Back then, Elrios was just one of many ways to release my anger, and a stepping stone to reach our goals. I didn't even think about the possibilities.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Of course. Hatred towards Elrios only comes naturally for demons, after all.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''How is that possible? Elrios and the demon realm are separated. How can you have hatred without the connection?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Just like babies that know how to breathe without learning, demons instinctively hate Elrios. I was like that as well. As I learned to control my power, such urge also subsided... But even after I've escaped from that instinctual hatred, I never imagined something like trade with Elrios would be possible.''

*'''Zero:''' ''This plant... Isn't it too big to be containing just the portal and the soul?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Ah, so you've noticed. Right now, we use it as a gateway into the laboratory... But the reason why we've built this place was to create weapons and the energy source for those weapons.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Should there be any other reason?''

*'''Ain:''' ''You've said the White-Ghost King ended the war. Are you this is what the White-Ghost King wants?''

*'''Winster:''' ''It has crossed my mind. I'm sure this isn't the path my lord would endorse.''

*'''Winster:''' ''I've lost my lord overnight, and lost my family to those I've trusted my back. There's not a lot that hold us together and kept us going.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''So you're living for vengeance...''

*'''Winster:''' ''But is it betrayal to punish those who've betrayed? Those Garens living on the surface are curs that bit the hand that fed them. There's no guarantee it won't happen again. They should be removed in order to realize my lord's ideas.... Of course, I'm not saying right now, we have no chance of winning. It's not easy to overcome natural differences in strength. So we've resolved to fight in our own way. This plant was found in preparation for that fight.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''If this place was so important... Why was it closed down?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Haivan said your will is the will of the village. If they all agreed to revenge against the Garens, they must have been disappointed.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Thankfully, they still have the drive... But it's not easy to find resources on this barren land. The only way to assure our victory is lord Aegirp's revival. But as someone who've accepted both races and ended the long standing war... I'm not sure if Aegirp would wish for revenge... Of course, our lord will likely wish for peace.''

*'''Winster:''' ''But she will punish those who betrayed her accordingly. That is enough. Those who betrayed her will pay their price.''

}}

*'''Rose:''' ''Are you speaking of the machines that were at the tunnel?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Yes, I've released the proto-types we were building here.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Of course. It's important to keep the place secure, after all. Who knows what kind of dangerous beings would make it in the tunnel? If you were any enemy, that would have been devastating.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''For someone who've tested my intention so boldly, you speak as if you were afraid.''

*'''Ain:''' ''So it was a lie, when you said you didn't know anything from the surface.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Haha, actually, we have a temporary base up on the surface. It's not completely settled, as we're operating discreetly to avoid detection... But the Garens from the village are helping with carrying the message and the mission. Nichel helps out a lot in the operation.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''A path far more dangerous and difficult that me lending my hand. Did you plan to seek for Aegirp's soul directly?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Yes. We were going to proceed with the plan once Nichel grows of age. She's still young, but she should be able to handle my lord's power once she's mature. After absorbing the soul here, it would have been a long journey, since we do not know the actual locations of other fragments.''

*'''Rose:''' ''How accurate is the information? Even with our help, it should take a long time without proper guidance.''

*'''Winster:''' ''I should explain. Before the betrayal, she informed each of her most trusted subjects the location of each fragment. That location was somewhere precious to her subjects. For example, mine was the secret laboratory.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Yes. That's why I was desperate to know what happened to Calonne, as he would know the location of another fragment.''

*'''Rose:''' ''That's why you wished to hear Laby's story.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''I will also do my best to help!''

*'''Winster:''' ''It's been a long time since we've had anyone else we could trust... I thank you once more.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Yes, yes. Let us hurry.''

}}

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''It combusts when it comes in contact with water, right? So I guess we're only able to mine them because of the air layer here.''

*'''Ain:''' ''So it requires many different conditions in order to exist. To use this as a resource, demons here are quite amazing. (Humans processed and transformed El shards to use them in various ways. Although they didn't have the El, looks like they've managed to develop using different resources. I always believed demons were an inferior species that went against the will of the goddess. But... The more I learn the more I realize how similar they are to humans.)''

*'''Ain:''' ''Mr. Half-Demon, why are you staring at me like that?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Hm... Ciel's right. Your disgust was almost tangible, but you seem less repulsed. Is it because of my grandeur?''

*'''Ain:''' ''Haha, do you mean delusions of grandeur?''

*'''Ain:''' ''Calm down, it's not something you should get angry over. I always thought you should fix that temper of yours.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''You know I'm not the one making that noise!''

*'''Zero:''' ''Be careful guys, something's coming!''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Is that... a giant hermit crab?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Ah, I've never seen such a large specimen in this plant.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''It's similar to the ones we've defeated earlier... But much bigger. Do you think it's angry that we've dealt with the smaller ones earlier?''

*'''Ain:''' ''Nothing much. I did receive an important life lesson though.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... Just what were everyone up to?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I believe so, since the machines at the center were fine? Oh! Where is Haivan?''

*'''Winster:''' ''No... Did he get tangled up in the battle earlier...?!''

*'''Haivan:''' ''What's up? Everyone ticking?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Hm? Why are you startled? It's not like I'm parting with you. And I'll take care of the soul. That's what we initially agreed on, anyway.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... You agree too, Ciel?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Don't worry, it's just a short farewell. When you come back, finding the Dark El will be like going on a picnic.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''In that case... Alright. I've never had to do anything like this, so I'm not sure what to say.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''We don't need to say anything. When you come back, you'll be stuck with us again.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''I'm fine. I wasn't injured in battle. I must have overexerted myself.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''... We didn't have any opportunity to rest since we've come to the demon realm. With the environment changing so quickly, it's understandable that you're exhausted.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... Give me the gem. You're in a hurry, right? I'll activate the power system so you can check right away.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''(He's so cooperative all of a sudden. I thought he was going to object earlier.)''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Hm, I don't know what you're talking about. Did they sacrifice anything?''

*''Slam!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Kugh... we need to find Haivan and stop that thing! Where is the cockpit?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''I don't know! Shouldn't we do something about those machines that are attacking us first?!''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Four. Let's spread out.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Alright. Everyone be careful. It won't be easy.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''We can't say. He's been rather unpredictable.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''I don't think he'd put himself in harms way... But then again, he might have an emergency escape system prepared.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Even if something like that does happen, Aisha, Chung, and I can mitigate some damage.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... Hey, sorry to interrupt your moment, but I can hear everything you say. Well, I gave you a choice! Don't hate me later, ok?''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''The energy overload caused an explosion... The wind...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''It's hard to stay standing. Don't be swept away.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''... So this is Aegirp's soul... I feel it's strength and elegance... Just as I remember.''

*''Crack... Slam... Crrrraaack...''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''No, Ciel! That's not the soul! Up there!''

*''Crash!!''

*'''???:''' ''... It's not exactly what you promised, but still satisfying. The boy that resonates with the El... I didn't expect to see you here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''This voice...?''

*'''Berthe:''' ''Shame we have no time to play.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Could it be...? Berthe...!!''

*''Vmmmm-- Vmmmm---''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''Wait, this sound... It's the signal of the demon army from Velder!''

*'''Haivan:''' ''...!''

*'''Berthe:''' ''Kuahahah! How will you fight, without the advantage of numbers?''

*'''Winster:''' ''... ... ... .... .... ...''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''... Hey, everyone. I have an idea. Gather around the main power source.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Didn't we win earlier because of my brilliance? Unless you've got something better, shut up and do as I say!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Add... Alright, everyone, to the power source!''
