*''Whoooosh...''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Look below! Everything is frozen solid! Thought it looks like it snowed recently. Amazing!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''A, Achoo! The wind makes it seem much colder here than in Rigomor!''

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''Pathetic. This is nothing.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Whoa! It's really warm around Add! Is this because of your dynamo?''

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''Grrr... Stop clinging on me!''

*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''Amazing! Zero, it's time to prove your usefulness! Heat up, so you can provide warmth.''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Ah... It looks like we're on ice. I was just thinking, it would be problematic if we end up in water due to the ice melting from the heat.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''What?!''

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''Harsh. Clinging for warmth one moment, only to treat me like a pariah the next.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Says the guy who jumped on a dynamo and abandoned the rest on the ground!''

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''No Ciel. Don't let him rub off on you.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''But Lu, remember what Winster said? He said, 'we do not know the 'precise' location of the other fragments,' implying that they still have a vague idea of where they are.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Since the site of operation exists to seek out the soul fragments on land, those at the site should have clues as to where the other fragments are.''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''True. Maybe they're searching them out even at this moment.''

*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''If we manage to communicate with the demons from Rigomor, it won't be too bad. Mr. Dog should be able to clear any misunderstandings. So don't worry too much, Ms. Knight-Captain. You'll lose hair if you stress all the time.''

*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Sigh... Fine, fine. The plan relies too much on luck for my taste, but it's not like I have any better idea.''

*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Will you stop teasing about my hair?''

}}

*{{StoryIcon|Asella}} '''???:''' ''If you thought we'll let anyone from Elrios leave unscathed, you're delusional. Go! Take them down! We'll only need three at most for interrogation!''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Just three?''

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''Tsk, are we really doing this?''

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''Stop! They're no our enemies!''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''These are the ones that came by Rigomor.... Hey, El Search Party. Are you alright?''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Nichel! You're safe! I'm so happy to see you!''

*{{StoryIcon|Asella}} '''Asella:''' ''We were going to continue searching for soul fragments as well, just in smaller numbers. It would have been easy to disguise ourselves as hunters, even if we were discovered.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''There's no need for that. We got the location.''

*{{StoryIcon|Asella}} '''Asella:''' ''A map? Hm, mmhm... I see...! We were also aware of the vague location after years of searching, but as expected for those responsible for hiding this fragment! he location in this map is much more precise.''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Then will you allow us to handle this?''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Asella was talking as if Haivan is also a hostage, but we know that's not true. Was that information not delivered properly?''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''Well... not exactly. I told Asella everything I know. Asella was the one who decided to announce that Haivan is a hostage.''

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''If it goes out that there's a traitor, the son of a leader at that, the situation could get out of hand in a second. Since there's no eyewitness, it makes sense that she'd want to keep it under wraps as the one in command.''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''You're not wrong... But that's not the only reason. The situation became quite... complicated after you left.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aegirp Soul}} '''???:''' ''Is this the only life permitted to us? Life is too long to be tainted with the stench of blood... Thre must be another way. I searched for so long to find my answer.''

*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Is this...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Zero}} '''Zero:''' ''Though, I don't know why we can hear it all of a sudden.''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''The sound is moving further away in that direction. The direction we were headed towards.''

*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''Everyone is able to perceive it at different times. Do you think it's due to some kind of device protecting the soul?''

*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''It could be magic that prevents cowards from seeing it.''

*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''I'm not sure. Let's continue following it for now.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aegirp Soul}} '''White-Ghost King's Soul:''' ''The Demon King told me, 'Join me, and I will end the tragic cycle of hatred and pillage your kind inflict upon each other.' I thought you didn't play fair. I wonder if you knew I would be unable to refuse you with such an offer...? Of course I followed your lead, with hopes to open a new era by your side. But... when you disappeared, everything crumbled. I didn't know what to think. Did something happen? Did you have a reason to hid away? ... Or perhaps... You never intended to keep your promise.''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''If I may ask, what was the Demon King like? Nobody every told me anything about the Demon King.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''That's to be expected. It's a long time ago... Not many would remember. The Demon King... was someone who appeared out of nowhere when the Demon Realm was under chaos. With power and charisma, the Demon King unified the Demon Realm that was divided into many factions and created structure.''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''So there weren't any kingdoms or countries like Elrios?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''There were those who called themselves kings, but that was it. It was a time of anarchy.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Yes, nobody even knows if the Demon King is dead or alive. There's really no way for us to tell. Even now, I don't really understand why the Demon King wanted to unite the Demon Realm.''

*{{StoryIcon|Zero}} '''Zero:''' ''How mysterious...''

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''... Yes. We also had an agreement.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''... Lu.''
