- (CREEK, CLANG!)
- Elesis: I made an opening on the armor! Let's see who was controlling this contraption!
- (CRACK- SLAM!!)
- Ara: So? Anyone inside...?
- Elesis: ... None. I only see machine parts.
- Eve: As I thought. Though they're not exactly the same... All the machines here incorporate Nasod AI, or at least something that was altered from Nasod AI.
- Eve: It's unlikely that any of the machines have a pilot. They're likely controlled by the central AI.
- Rena: Elesis, watch out! It's moving again!
- (WHIIRR-!)
- Elesis: Ugh, wait, I'm going to fall this way...! Wah!
- Raven: Jump! We'll catch you! Right now!
- Elesis: Kugh! ... Uwa, that was a close call! What was that?
- Rena: Oh! I think there was a description on the Dream Demons' map! Let me read it for you.
- Ricardo: ... 'You'll see them when you climb the wall. Approximately 1700 Fins tall with immense steel body, its imposing muzzle never misses its target.
- Ricardo: When it relentlessly charges towards intruders like... ...Tsk, how to describe it...
- Ricardo: There must be something more... sophisticated... I can use to describe, but man, I can't think of any.
- Ricardo: Oh! Anyway, I gave it a name. It defeated many elite Torta hunters, so it needs something epic!
- Ricardo: The name is Vargr! I named it after a terrifying four-legged beast tamed by a giant that once ruled the Land of Steel and the Red Demon Territory according to Old Queen Granny.
- Ricardo: I think it's fitting. Actually we had a few other candidates...
- Rena: ... It's all useless fluff!
- Eve: He gave us the first draft... It's troublesome. We should give this back to him later.
- Ara: This machine is very sturdy and persistent. I wonder if there's any way to lose it? It would be best if we can find a way to make it fall down the wall.
- Chung: The way it withstands pressure is outstanding. If only Aisha was here...
- Rena: I don't think it would have made much of a difference. The metal it's made of seems to resist magic!
- Noah: It resists magic...? Maybe there's some kind of resistance spell or mechanism that rejects magic?
- Clamor: Or that metal could be made of special material.
- Rose: Is there anyway we can make use of that, Zero?
- Zero: We can try. Eve found a dormant airship, but it didn't have any visible problems, so I can try operating that.
- Rose: The Dream Demons must have taken it out. That's convenient. Zero and Eve, if you will?
- Eve: If we can get it to work, it should allow us to go over the wall quickly. We'll try.
- Lu: I am absolutely outraged... I cannot accept this situation at all!
- Ciel: Of course. There's no way you would have known they'd create something of this magnitude.
- Lu: As we got closer to the Land of Steel, all I thought about was what my home would look like, and what I can do once I arrive.
- Lu: I thought if Barkat is there then I can return everything to how it once was, but he might not be. We might have to face ruffians who took over the land when there was no master.
- Lu: Or it may be exactly as I remember... an empty, desolate land.
- Lu: Yes, those were the things I was prepared for... But... But what is this! How dare they violate my land like this!
- (...CRASH!)
- Lu: You coward hiding behind the machine. I know you can hear my voice and you will relay my message.
- Lu: As the true Lord of Steel, I will punish the fools who have schemed and violated my land!
- (BEEP- WHIR, WHIING)
- (...BEEP... BEE- BEE- BEE- BEE-)
- (CLANG, CLANG!)
- Noah: Ugh, it's breaking down! Watch out!
- Clamor: ... Wait, I don’t think it's breaking down.
- Rose: The parts are separating...?! It's changing its form. Lu! Quickly! Come down!
- Lu: Kugh...!!
- Ciel: Lu!!!!
- (BEE BEE BEE BEE)
- (KWA KWA KWA... BOOM!!!)
- Chung: It's flying away?! Stop! Where are you taking Lu?!
- Ciel: If we don't hurry, we're going to lose her! What do we do? Anything?!
- (WHIIING--!!)
- Eve: We successfully activated the abandoned airship. Everyone, get on! We will be on pursuit immediately!
- Add: .......
- Add: (The fact that someone made a Nasod in Mother's resemblance... must mean that someone is the one to attack us, or at the very least, is closely involved.)
- Add: (Was the attackers the Order? The Order attacking my family? Since when did they... Damn it!)
- Laby: Add! Wait!
- Aisha: It's no use. He's not listening at all! I don't think he notices us at all!
- Elsword: That idiot. He's the one who always tells me to think before charging ahead, when he's doing exactly that right now!
- Ain: He's been acting strange since encountering that Nasod. Did he meet the Nasod before?
- Elsword: This is the first time we've encountered a Nasod in the Demon Realm. The machines in Rigomor... Wait, he's making another turn! Add! Wait!
- Add: (This signal... It's close! It's somewhere around here!)
- Add: (She should have noticed my approach from this distance, but the signal is not budging...)
- Add: (Damn it, you want to do this...?!)
- ???: .......
- ???: ...Hm, yes. First, I'll start with an introduction. That should be appropriate.
- ???: Debrian... How many centuries have past? I thought I've forgotten what it means to miss something, but at long last.
- ???: Ah... When will they arrive?
