The El Search Party reached the center of Altera island, Altera Core, and realize just how powerful Ruben's El is. What kind of being is King Nasod, who is behind all of this?

- [Altera Core]
- Aisha: We're really here?
- Elsword: Look! There's the El shard! We found it! Let's go everyone! Just over this wall, and...
- Aisha: Wait! ... This think light...
- (... BZZZZT--!!)
- Aisha: A powerful electric current is coursing through. There's no option but to approach the core using the path leading there.
- Rena: What are those things attached to the El?
- Raven: They are extractors. Likely to power the facilities and Nasods using the power extracted from the El.
- Raven: But an energy that can power the core, the entire foundry, and the countless battle Nasods?
- Raven: It doesn't even compare to the tiny El shards we, Black Crows, collected the for several years.
- Elsword: The El that was used to protect the village is being used to threaten the world...
- Raven: That's how power works. Its use depends on the wielder.
- Rena: Let's go destroy the extractor so the power of the El is no longer used for terrible means.

- (... BZZZZT--!!)
- Ain: Aha... I thought it was too easy. They put barriers around so we can't approach it.
- Aisha: A powerful electric current is coursing through. There's no option but to approach the core using the path leading there.

- Raven: That's how power works. Its use depends on the wielder.
- Ain: Yes. And the power of the El granted by the Goddess should never be used like this.
- Rena: Let's go destroy the extractor so the power of the El is no longer used for terrible means.

- (CRASH! DDDDD...)
- Aisha: Finally...
- Elsword: We retrieved the El!
- Rena: Wohoo! That was a long journey. Banthus, Wally, we came a long way.
- Elsword: King Nasod was nothing! He was just a little bit stronger than other Nasods!
- Aisha: Says the guy that was struggling the most!
- Elsword: Now we just need to return the El to its rightful place. Let's return to Ruben!
- Rena: Wait, who is that...?
- (SLAP!)
- Elsword: ?!?!
- ???: You... What have you done to the core...!
- ???: ...
- Aisha: Wh, what was that? Where did she come from?
- Elsword: ...
- Rena: She's headed to where King Nasod is. We did defeat him, but it could be dangerous!
- Eve: ... I am Eve, Queen of the Nasods. Fellow Nasod, who... are you?
- King Nasod: Eve... You are awake?
- Elsword: Hey! You!
- Rena: Shhh, wait!
- King Nasod: It seems you don't remember, but my codename is Adam. I was the AI behind creating our brethren.
- King Nasod: And you, Eve... You are the human type back-up that I created.
- Eve: Huh? But...
- Raven: That's a Nasod?
- Rena: But... she looks human?
- King Nasod: My main body started a War with the humans to protect the Nasod from their greed but lost and stopped functioning.
- King Nasod: But Eve, you woke up from the Great Explosion. You restored my basic code into this Giant Nasod body and went back to sleep.
- King Nasod: And I have done everything in my power as you programmed to restore our kind.
- Eve: I restored... The code... To you...?
- King Nasod: I must tell you one thing. For Nasods to survive, you don't need this big of an army.
- King Nasod: The only reason I made this big of an army by collecting the El Shard was because I sensed a greater evil and I tried to protect Elrios from it.
- King Nasod: The greater evil are the demons from the Demon Realm.
- Aisha: What is he talking about...?
- King Nasod: For some reason this land was deeply intertwined with the Demon Realm and was affected by it for a long time.
- King Nasod: That connection has become stronger after the Great Explosion. Now there are passages that connect to the Demon Realm all over Elrios and they have been preparing their invasion.
- King Nasod: If Elrios is destroyed by demons, there's no point in continuing the fight for the Nasod's survival and prosperity.
- King Nasod: Eve, as the last survivor of the Nasods... I leave everything... To... you...
- Raven: I can't believe it. This whole operation... it was to prevent demons from invading?
- Aisha: Demons... I've only seen them in books. Maybe he's talking about monsters that appear in the Shadow Forest?
- Rena: I don't know... This is the first time I'm hearing all of this.
- Eve: I... I am the last survivor...
- Elsword: ...
- Eve: Decide... Wh, what should I do?
- Elsword: Hey, Eve, right?
- Eve: ...?
- Elsword: Are you alone? Then I'll be your friend!
- Aisha: ... Whaaaat?
- Eve: Fri... end?
- Eve: Wh, what do you mean?
- Elsword: It's lonely alone, isn't it? So we can travel together.
- Eve: ...
- Aisha: You, you, dummy!

- Ain: (The Queen of the Nasods...)
- Ain: (They made an entire race that could develop and prosper on its own... Humans have made impressive progress.)
- Ain: (But wasn't the power of creation solely for 'God'? Were humans trying to play 'God'?
- King Nasod: I must tell you one thing. For Nasods to survive, you don't need this big of an army.
- King Nasod: The only reason I made this big of an army by collecting the El Shard was because I sensed a greater evil and I tried to protect Elrios from it.
