Story/Elrianode: Difference between revisions

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Ho, ho, hold on a minute. Elsword will disappear? No way!''

*'''Solace''': ''When Elsword and the El were combined, I injected some diceon energy. It prevented the El from instantly absorbing Elsword, but it won't last long.''

*'''Elesis''': ''We must save him quick! What... should we do...? Please!''

*'''Hernia''': ''There should be someone waiting for you in Elrianode that'll guide you to him. I sense his energy in Elrianode. He's been with the El the longest as a dragon and as a master, so he will know the way.''

*'''Ciel''': ''... Are we... in Elrianode...?''

*'''Chung''': ''Look...! A giant El...!''

*'''Elesis''': ''... Elsword is... inside...''

*'''Denif''': ''Who are you?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Of course, Elsword is missing.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Yes, but someone other than Elsword...? It's weird.''

*'''Denif''': ''... Are you ready? Be prepared... Good luck.''

*'''???''': ''Because of your raid, my father...!''

*'''???''': ''It's all because of you!''

*'''Seris''': ''Raven.''

*'''Seris''': ''Raven...''

*'''Seris''': ''Raven, if the El becomes unstable again, people will suffer. Are you willing to hurt innocents with your own hands again?''

*'''Seris''': ''Don't go, Raven. Just give up one Elsword before you make a bigger mistake.''

*'''Lu''': ''Come on and get up already! How dare you make me worry!''

*'''Ciel''': ''Wake up, Elsword. There are people outside waiting for you.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Don't cross the bridge until you come to it. We have made it this far together!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''We'll figure it out. Have you forgotten? We're the El Search Party!''

*'''Denif''': ''Yes. The rift is affected by the El energy. It's only a mirage created by the El energy.''

*'''Add''': ''...''

*'''Denif''': ''No human being would be able to survive there. If you were bewitched and followed the voices, you would've never made it.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Boy, that was a close call.''

----

*'''Ain''': ''The El Search Party is at its full power again? It's been a long time since we've been this lively.''

*'''Ain''': ''... I know, but it feel like a long time.''

}}

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Me too, I'm clueless.''

*'''Denif''': ''Hm... Now that I think about it, there may be something that'd be helpful to you...''

*'''Denif''': ''There is a Sanctum that we, the Water Dragons have been protecting. I wouldn't know what's in there as it's been sealed for a long time. But I definitely felt a strong El energy even when it was sealed... It must be something very powerful.''

*'''Chung''': ''It it was giving off such strong El energy... It might be able to restore the unstable El!''

*'''Ain''': ''(... It is indeed very similar.)''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Hehehe, I don't know what it is, but it means I'm awesome, right?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Haha, what a relief. I'm glad he looks well.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Then... Can we find the Sanctum with Elsword's power?''

*'''Eve''': ''Not only Henir, but I'm also detecting multiple unknown elements as well. They are not normal materials that can be found in Elrios.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''meaning, this did not originate from here?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''We keep finding weird stuff rather than the gateway... Sigh, are we even going to find the Sanctum today...?''

*'''Lu''': ''Eh? Look, I feel something here. I sense it to be something special.''

*'''Add''': ''It's amazing that you were actually useful, what a surprise!''

*''Ciel''': ''Add... I don't think that's a compliment...''

*'''Ain''': ''Especially you, Elsword.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Huh? Careful of what?''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''It looks completely unsealed now. That was the last spell of the seal!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Hehehe. No biggie! Anyways, it should be somewhere in here, right?''

*'''Add''': ''Could it be... that stone sitting on top of the alter?''

*'''Eve''': ''Strange, there isn't a strong El energy radiating from the stone.''

*'''Eve''': ''Those monsters contained similar elements found around the outer barrier.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''What? The stone was there before we arrived! Which means... They knew the Sanctum was here before we even got here.''

*'''Ciel''': ''Then this is not a coincidence.''

*'''Elesis''': ''I've got a bad feeling about this. The situation may be far more complicated then we initially thought.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''This place is just full of water here... Is it because the Water Dragon was protecting this area?''

*'''Chung''': ''Also, the sky is pitch black even though we are outside. Master Denif did say that it's beyond the outer barrier. Does that mean this is part of Henir?''

*'''Elesis''': ''... Strange...''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''What is?''

*'''Ciel''': ''Demonic energy? Does that mean the thief is a demon?''

*'''Lu''': ''No, it's not the energy of a demon. If I'm right, this is something from deep down the demonic realm... How strange, how is a human able to have this kind of demonic energy...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''There! Don't let the thief escape!''

}}

*'''Add''': ''...''

*'''Denif''': ''Henir's Order... It cannot completely be ruled out, but we don't know that for a fact until we have absolute evidence...''

*'''Denif''': ''What's this? It looks like a fragment of an orb.''

*'''Elesis''': ''I'm not sure but it contains Henir's energy and some unknown elements. I thought it made sense since it was inside Henir... However, the ones who used the orb transformed into monsters.''

*'''Elesis''': ''I know... They're both sarcastic... Is this the normal behavior of smart people...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Um... I don't do that...''

*'''Glave''': ''No, the place you used is a fraction of the inner world of Henir. If the entrance to the core of Henir were here... Elrios would have disappeared already.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Elrios would have disappeared...?!''

*'''Ara''': ''Pant... Pant... Their numbers keep growing.''

*'''Chung''': ''Damn it... I think they plan to keep attacking us until we're worn out.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Also, it feels like these are a lot stronger than the ones we've fought in the Sanctum, how it this possible?''

*'''Add''': ''... It looks like the dark rift is empowering the monsters as they pass through. So, they're using the Henir energy from the rift? Damn it...''

*'''Chung''': ''...! So it was Henir's Order...!''

*'''Solace''': ''But something's off. The monsters are increasing in numbers but they don't seem to have an actual purpose. This is a rather wasteful tactic if their goal is to simply tire us out.... They must be scheming something.''

*'''Solace''': ''We can't completely rule out the possibility.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Then we can't waste any more time here. We should stop whatever they're planning to do.''

*'''Eve''': ''If we investigate the area, we may be able to find the cause of Henir's Rift.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''But if we leave this area unprotected, the monsters will reach the El Tower...! There are just too many of them.''

*'''Solace''': ''I'll protect this area, the rest of you can go and find the one responsible for this and stop them.''

*'''Chung''': ''By yourself, Master Solace...? That's too dangerous!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''But... don't you want to meet Master Denif?''

*'''Solace''': ''It might be too soon... I'll go see him if a full-scale war against the Order is required. Until then, keep this between us.''

*'''Solace''': ''Good luck, then.... I can't put Elrianode in danger again. Now, go check the outskirts. The Order is increasing the number of fissures as we speak.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Leave it to us, Solace! We will stop them no matter what!''

*'''Eve''': ''That's probably because they are crawling in through Henir's fissure.''

*'''Elesis''': ''The one that makes the fissures is supposed to be around here, right? We must find him while Solace is buying us some time!''

*'''Chung''': ''... But where are the other Masters? It looks like Denif is having trouble by himself, too...... It also looks like it'd be hard for Master Solace to become free of guilt until all the Masters have gathered... If they have been awakened at the outskirts of Elrianode, as Master Denif predicted, would they be beyond Henir's Barrier?''

*'''Ara''': ''Ah! Monsters incoming...! Watch out, everyone!''

*'''Chung''': ''What is their goal? It makes me nervous that we don't know what they're planning.''

*'''Elesis''': ''I know... Whatever they're planning, we will stop it no matter what. The Order must be abusing the loyalties of the fanatics and demanding their sacrifice. Otherwise, there's no way people would willingly turn into monsters themselves. They are using the innocents as a tool... I'll never forgive them.''

*'''Lu''': ''You're all very peculiar. How interesting.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Huh? Which part?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Whoa, what's that? There is a blade attached to its body!''

*'''Eve''': ''It looks like it's tearing Time and Space apart using the blade on its body. The number of Henir's fissures are increasing because of that monster!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''I think that monster might also be created from the Seed of Life. Uggh... It also seems more evolved than the monsters we've fought before.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Glave said that the Seed was tinkered with. Then they may have already found a way to improve it by now.''

*'''Chung''': ''Ah...! Hold on, the monster is trying to self-destruct!''

*'''Ara''': ''Rena! Careful!''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''...... Huh...?''

*'''???''': ''Phew, that was close. You shouldn't let your guard down just because you defeated your enemy.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Rena! Are you okay?! Huh? Who is...''

*'''???''': ''Whoa, you don't have to lash out like that, cut me some slack. Well, considering the status of Elrianode, it's understandable. I'll be understanding.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''(An elf?... But it's weird. I feel the familiar spirit energy from this person... Could it be...?)''

*'''Ventus''': ''You recognize Lincy! I knew it, huhu. You're Rena, right? I've heard a lot about you. I've always wanted to meet you. You are very skilled as I imagined, and, most importantly, you're as if all the beauty of the world has gathered around you... Uh oh! Lincy, why are you mad at me? It's just a compliment.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''... Haha... What a guy...''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''... It he really the Wind Master...? He's a little...''

*'''Elesis''': ''Mm... mm... Master Denif would know... It also seems like Rena has met one of them.''

*'''Ventus''': ''To celebrate our encounter, we'll need something to commemorate it.''

*'''Ventus''': ''Here, take this.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''...... Huh...?''

*'''Elesis''': ''... As expected, with just this object alone, it doesn't seem all that useful. Then why is the Order obsessing over this object?''

*'''Ventus''': ''... In fact, I actually wanted to talk about that! Can you take me to the old man?''

*'''Ventus''': ''Ah, sorry. I mean Denif. Master Denif.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''He knows Master Denif...? Is he seriously the Wind Master?!''

*'''Rose''': ''Zero has the data on the components of the stone that was used exclusively for building the ancient palace. We compared the data and searched for the entrance in the area where similar components were found.''

*'''Add''': ''Hmpf, the newcomers know how to use their brains.''

*'''Ain''': ''(The passage under the Elrian Palace...... to the core of Henir...)''

}}

*'''Rose''': ''This is the entrance to the underground passage of the palace.''

*'''Eve''': ''Be careful, I am reading a spike of powerful Henir energy.''

*'''Rose''': ''No problem, we'll never know what's inside, so let's stick together.''

*'''Zero''': ''But it's strange that there are no guards outside. That usually means...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I'll go get them and catch up. You guys go first.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Huh?! Elsword, you too?! Elsword, wait! We should not be separated!''

*'''Ara''': ''... I, I'll go get them!''

*'''Chung''': ''What?! Wait, Ara, don't!''

*'''Ain''': ''......''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''(Oh no, Ain... It looks he's getting worse... If we keep going deeper, he may be affected by the greater power of Henir.)''

*'''Ain''': ''It's fine, I can handle it. We can keep going.''

*'''Ain''': ''...... (I can't let that happen. Keeping the El Search Party from harm is my new mission and reason for existence. If I don't do anything here, I'll be...)''

*'''Ain''': ''......''

*'''Chung''': ''... Um, I'm sure Ain didn't mean it.''

*'''Ain''': ''......''

*'''Chung''': ''... I'm sure Ain must have had some bad experience with demons. Maybe he can't help it. So don't try to push him too...''

*'''Chung''': ''......''

*'''Ain''': ''......''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''... Raven...''

*'''Ain''': ''(It's... for me...?)''

*'''Chung''': ''...... I'm sorry, Raven.... I shouldn't have...''

*'''Chung''': ''......''

*'''Chung''': ''... I'll give it a try.''

*'''Ain''': ''...... I will also......... Kugh...!''

*'''Ain''': ''I... was going to apologize from the beginning. (It's just that I lost cnotrol, and the darkest emotion from inside stopped me from saying it.)''

----

----

*'''Ain''': ''(He's right... The hatred engraved in my subconscious is something that I must fight on my own.... Not for the sake of a mere emissary with a mission, but for the sake of 'Ain'.)''

*'''Add''': ''Based on the structure, it looks like it's for compressing and processing the energy coming from the passage to make it into an energy source.''

*'''Eve''': ''The Henir energy is overwhelming in here. I think the energy control sonsole over there seems to be in front of Henir's Passage.''

*'''Eve''': ''It may be hard to block it completely, but it's possible to minimize it. But we need to get closer to the electronic system.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Damn, I'm barely making a dent! How did they make this type of Nasod?''

*'''Elesis''': ''If they were able to build something this advanced in secrecy, they might have something that's already surpassing this one.''

*'''Zero''': ''Let's block the passage. Anyone know how to work this control console?''

*'''Eve''': ''The existing level of energy emission was at its max. It seems a decent amount of energy has already been extracted.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Assuming that they got this place up and running as soon as Elrianode was awakened... They may have used the energy for quite a lot of different purposes.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''But their purpose is unclear. It'll be impossible for us to track them down or understand their objective.''

*'''Lu''': ''...... I think I know what they are trying to do.''

*'''Rose''': ''That means, they will eventually come to us for the Primal El.''

*'''Add''': ''Tsk, who has the Primal El right now?''

*'''Elesis''': ''Okay, let's head back to the El Tower.''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''We can't let both the Primal El and the Dark El fall into their hands!''

*'''Elesis''': ''...... Speaking of which... we'll probably have to go to the demon realm to stop them from acquiring the Dark El, right?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Lu, you're born in the demon realm, right? How much do you know about the place?''

*'''Lu''': ''Hm... I only know about the demon realm during my reign, but it's been so long that I don't have a clue on how much it might have changed. The demon realm is a place that constantly changes.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''I know, Elsword. But I hope you rely on us a little bit more. We're friends after all.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''I, I do! I rely on you all a lot! All of you are my friends that I can rely on to watch my back.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Hasn't it been a while since Elsword was slapped by Eve? Ha, servers you right.''

*'''Ciel''': ''I agree, I've become a half-demon, but I've never been to the demon realm before.''

*'''Lu''': ''Don't worry, I'll be able to protect you all in the demon realm. Even if the demon realm changed drastically, what I've learned and experienced there during my reign will still be useful.''

*'''Ara''': ''Is everyone safe?''

*'''Denif''': ''...? What's wrong?''

*'''Chung''': ''There was a device that was extracting the Henir energy in the passage. Also, the Order had already left when we arrived.''

*'''Eve''': ''I changed the control option and minimized the energy emission, so the extraction will be restrained for a while.''

*'''Denif''': ''...... Mm... That is a fairly convincing theory. I remember I read something similar from an ancient document a long time ago. That the demon realm was created in reaction of the birth of Elrios.''

*'''Ignia''': ''What...?! The demon realm... was created as a reaction to Elrios?! Nonsense...!''

*'''Artea''': ''Then it makes sense that the Dark El, similar to the El, was created in the demon realm.''

*'''Denif''': ''Henir's Order... has been preparing this for a long time... Though I suspected it, I have never thought that the palace was aiding them as well.''

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

*'''Elesis''': ''He's the one we saw in the Sanctum!''

*'''Mysterious Man''': ''The Order will be taking the Large El. Along with the Primal El that you've taken as well!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''I'd like to see you try, you ring thief!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''The El Tower will be in danger if we fail here! Hang in there, everyone!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''It's not going to work on me! I can't stop until I get the Ring of Mimir back!!''

*'''Ain''': ''...... (Humans amuse me. Where does the endless competitive spirit come from...? Is this the power of the ones who have their own personal goals...? But the Goddess Ishmael has never taught me that. If I could become stronger by understanding such spirit, I could have completed my mission even sooner...... Why isn't the Goddess Ishmael... answering me...?)''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Come on! I can do this all day!''

*'''Hennon''': ''... Impossible..!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Denial won't do you any good, just give up!''

*'''Ain''': ''(Something must have happened to the Goddess Ishmael. I must find it and restore the Goddess's power over the Elrios continent. Not as an existence for a mission, but as Ainchase Ishmael.)''

----

*'''Chung''': ''Of course, my mind is clearer than ever. I have no intention of losing. I'll save my father, no matter what....... And I've thought about it for a long time, Raven. But it's still too much for me to understand the demons.''

*'''Chung''': ''I know why you told me that.... It's because you didn't want me to suffer from hatred. These feelings are not easy to let go even though I know I should. Aside from losing my beloved family, the demons have caused too much harm to Hamel.''

*'''Chung''': ''It's okay. You've got me thinking about my hatred towards them. What if I was blindly raging against demons, swept along by the agony of Hamel? Maybe that's why I couldn't even put away my agner towards the demons that trusted me as comrades and offered their help... even though Ara, Lu, and Ciel definitely did their best to help me.''

*'''Chung''': ''I'll try to accept it little by little that there are demons that don't harm humans. So I can stand alongside them to fight true evil.''

*'''Chung''': ''Thank you! I'll do my best!''

*'''Ara''': ''(It's a relief that Chung has regained his spirit.)''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Alright! While preparing for the Demon Realm, let's go to the Sanctum!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Ahh... I'm tired. I'm going to rest for the day...''

*'''Ciel''': ''Good thing there are some cookies left. It will be perfect with a nice cup of tea.''

*'''Anduran''': ''Ahh! Everyone! Would you like to try my vegetable stew?''
