Story/Chapter 37: Difference between revisions

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''... Hey. Is it me, or does this place seem... Different?''

*{{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|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Are we... Perceived as a threat?''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''What's going on? Surely Master Ventus also used this path to go back to Elrianode?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''We need to find the Dark El no matter what. We should focus on our goal instead of pondering about useless possibilities.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''(If the Dark El we find lost its power, I'll be first to worry about my next step.)''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Sigh, nothing's clear for now. Not that I thought it would be easy, with this being the Demon Realm and all.''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Still, we were lucky that we met the Dark Elves and Nephilim Lord first.''

A critically dangerous situation, but a girl and a mirror block the monsters' advance.

|QuestAD=  

*{{StoryIcon|Ain}} '''Ain:''' ''Ms. Elf, how's the Spirit Stone?''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''Come on, concentrate! The monsters are headed towards the rift!''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''There are too many monsters. I'm not certain we can arrive on time...''

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

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

*''Keeee-!''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Geh! There's so many weird fishies...! Nisha, help!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''I think she's an ally. She's stopping the monsters from approaching Elrianode.''

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

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

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''! Even though we're under water...!''

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

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Of course! Who do you think I am!''

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

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''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.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ain}} '''Ain:''' ''It's too late. Unlike the opening at the Dark Elves Forest, the opening here closed the moment we arrived here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ain}} '''Ain:''' ''It seems the rift appears quite often around this place, considering the unstable energy around here... But I don't think it's wise to wait for another opening, since we're not sure when it's going to open next time.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Move? Move where? Didn't Add say that the surface is too far?''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''I have searched this vicinity and sensed an unusual enclosure with air.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''You are correct. I'm not certain, but it seems artificial. I don't sense any immediate threat, but...''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Hm, wouldn't it be better to push ourselves and make it to the surface than vanture the unknown in the deep-sea?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rose}} '''Rose:''' ''She... Did come through the dimensional rift that led to Elrianode...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''And the seal in the El Tower can only be opened with the help of, not only Master Denif, but all the masters and priestesses.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Can't eat any more...''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Ain}} '''Ain:''' ''Oh? Something interesting is floating past the window.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''It's amazing! You can see a school of enormous fish swimming by.''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Sigh, well at least now we know what to prepare for.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Wait, there's more. There's a passage connected to this space below.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''I think it's a good idea to check on the tunnels. Since there's no sign of life, we shouldn't come across any enemies, right?''

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

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Alright then, let's follow this rail. Then we can just follow this back.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Not surprising. It's obvious that he has a problem considering how he just picked a fight with everyone when we first met him.''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Ahaha... Well, I'm just glad that they've arrived safely.''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''I was worried that Elrianode will be impacted negatively with the sudden shift in Henir's Realm, but with that many masters and the priestesses, I guess there's nothing to worry about!''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Anyway, where's this? Laby promised Master Denif to bring the El Search Party to Elrianode...''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I heard a strange noise!''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''There wasn't any life forms... Perhaps it's an unwelcomed guest that managed to go past my sensors.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Uhh? Laby still needs twelve introductions!! Wait!!!''

|ED= 1,350,000

There's sound to movement beyond the tunnel.

|QuestAD=  

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Looks like the sound was coming from gas escaping a corroded pipe. Moby, Remy, please analyze the properties of this gas.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Whoa! Pink Gas!! Nom!''

|QuestCD=  

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Phew... I was surprised when it exhaled cold gas, but that wasn't too difficult.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Zero}} '''Zero:''' ''Let's see... Huh, looks like these junk only operate through a specific mechanism.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''How rude. Nasods are the culmination of Adrian's knowledge. It's an insult to be compared with this subpar technology.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''These machines are made with very simple parts, just like this tunnel. I'm surprised these high-maintenance machines are still moving...''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''There was a demon who called himself a scientist among those who invaded Elrios. So I knew there were machines in the Demon Realm as well but...''

*{{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|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Does this mean something really important is at the end of this tunnel?''

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

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

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Oh! There's a door 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.''

*''Clack- Screeech-!''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Whoa, the door just went spinny!''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Kuhuhu, yes... We've come this far, we should get an event like this at the very least.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Looks like I have no choice.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''When all our preparations are done... My allies and I will return to the surface. That's when this tunnel will be of use to us.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''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.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''To survive, each race developed a skill to use against the other. One had absolute strength, while the other used wit and tools.''
