Story/Varnimyr: Difference between revisions

*'''Eve''': ''Is this portal device part of your 'Perfect Plan'?''

*'''Add''': ''Of course. This device used to be connected to the Heart of Henir. So all we need to do, is use this device to open a new portal to the Demon Realm.''

*'''Add''': ''Since the device is in good condition, we just need to enter the new coordinates and...''

*'''Elesis''': ''Coordinates?''

*'''Ain''': ''Haha. Well, I am a priest. Anyway, you must have had a difficult time in the Hall of El if you use the El as your power source.''

*'''Zero''': ''Ahem, with a mind as brilliant as mine, nothing is considered a difficulty! Or... Something like that. Ha, haha...''

*'''Elesis''': ''Hm... Demons at Velder used the Earth El to come over.''

*'''Eve''': ''It may be off topic, but Adrian also used El energy to move to Elysion.''

*'''Ventus''': ''Good gracious! If you're looking for the old man, you just missed him. He went for a walk, you see.''

*'''Artea''': ''Of course.''

----

*'''Sasha''': ''If it reached out that far... It's likely a shard from the Great Explosion.''

*'''Add''': ''Anyway considering all these instances, I believe the El itself has the power to influence the connection between dimensions and Time and Space.''

*'''Rose''': ''It may be so... But if the El connects between worlds, why is Elrios severed from the Demon Realm? It's not easy to go to different dimensions like Elysion either.''

*'''Add''': ''Heh, looks like you and I are finally on the same page.''

*'''Ciel''': ''Oh... That's the poem you sometimes mumble if your sleep.''

*'''Lu''': ''Oh?! I never realized. Anyways, I always thought this was rather bleak and difficult for a nursery rhyme.''

*'''Lu''': ''Yes. I used to think it was just a meaningless old nursery rhyme, but Add's speculations seem to fit quite well with the words.''

*'''Gloria''': ''Ah, so people have been creating portal devices using the El's special power to connect worlds, without understanding why the El had the power to do so.''

*'''Raven''': ''Perhaps this... power of El formed because of human ambition. Is it possible for humans to have altered the El to fulfill their ambition of interfering with different worlds?''

*'''Ain''': ''Altering the El is not possible. The essential properties of the El was chosen by the Goddess. It is not something a human can alter.''

*'''Ventus''': ''The Goddess created the El to prevent a demon invasion.''

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

*'''Denif''': ''I don't think I heard that right. Did you say you've already went down below?''

*'''Ara''': ''Well... I accidentally tripped and fell down the hole...''

*'''Denif''': ''I can't believe this...! Sigh...''

*'''Eve''': ''It was certainly not designed for easy maneuvering. There were no signs of stairs or other methods of climbing.''

*'''Ventus''': ''But we saw an elaborate seal at the bottom.''

*'''Denif''': ''... Alright. However the moment we sense any danger, is the moment we will all retreat.''

*'''Ventus''': ''Sure, sure~ Everyone ready?''

*'''Ara''': ''Yes! We will be careful!''

*'''Rose''': ''Wow, Aisha's magic and Eve's tech are amazing. I can't believe how secure we are with this many people.''

*'''Denif''': ''Is this the 'seal' that you've mentioned?''

*'''Ventus''': ''Yes, I also found out about it when I jumped in to save those trouble makers~''

*'''Lu''': ''Yes. I don't know exactly where, but I definitely feel the distinct aura of the Demon Realm. If this is connected to the Demon Realm, it explains the need for a seal.''

*'''Denif''': ''... This structure strongly resembles ancient seals. The ancient seal structure likely derived from this seal.........''

*'''Denif''': ''As far as I'm aware, we cannot destroy this seal. Rather, we mustn't destroy it.''

*'''Rena''': ''But this could be the only way to the Demon Realm.''

*'''Rose''': ''... Please don't compliment him. He's heavy as is without a big head.''

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

*'''Rose''': ''Thank you, I will do my best.''

*'''Ventus''': ''Alright then, ready everyone?''

*'''Elesis''': ''...! The light!''

*'''Chung''': ''There's a gap between the seal!''

*'''Eun''': ''Ara.''

*'''Ara''': ''Yes, Eun?''

*'''Chung''': ''Henir energy?!''

*'''Ain''': ''This potency... The Demon Realm must be completely under the influence of Henir, My, isn't this exciting?''

*'''Ciel''': ''That means we are stronger, right? Looks like all that training was worth the effort.''

*'''Eve''': ''Still, the Demon Realm is dangerous. If we are exposed to this much Henir energy for too long, we would likely perish.''

*'''Ain''': ''Miss Demon, can't you sense anything? My legs are getting tired...''

*'''Lu''': ''Hmph! Stop making such a fuss! You are distracting me! Grrrr... Over there, that way!''

*'''Ain''': ''Hm? You look like you have something to say, Elsword.''

*'''Ain''': ''Haha, I never thought I'd worry you so much. I'd have to make sure to 'step up my game'. Don't worry. I'm feeling fine.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Since this is Henir's domain, I didn't think there would be anything alive. But that thing...''

*'''Raven''': ''... I don't know if you should call that thing alive. All I know is that it was as hard as a rock.''

*'''Eve''': ''Fascinating... These beings are truly contradictory.''

*'''Eve''': ''Based on the data we collected in Elrianode, these monsters are comprosed of 98% Henir energy. Essentially, these beings are manifestations of chaos and destructin.''

*'''Add''': ''Destruction, which turns everything to nothing, chaos which scatters anything that is whole, and a 'manifestation' composed of destruction and chaos... A contradiction indeed. Shame we have to leave this fascinating test subject behind...''

*'''Chung''': ''Safety comes before research, come one!''

*'''Aisha''': ''......''

*'''Rena''': ''......''

*'''Aisha''': ''Ooooh, what was that for?! I thought my heart was going to stop.''

*'''Raven''': ''I don't sense anything. Let's move one.''

*''(Rrrrrrr Click-!)''

*'''Chung''': ''Here! A stepping pad!''

*'''Ciel''': ''Or maybe we're not even worth a bother.''

*'''Lu''': ''Look! I can smell the Demon Realm beyond this strange wall.''

*'''Lu''': ''I meant figuratively. Come on!''

*'''Rena''': ''Everyone, make sure we stay together.''

*'''Chung''': ''I see something over there!''

*'''Rose''': ''Raven, behind you!!''

*'''Ciel''': ''Ugh, it's just one problem after another...''

*'''Elesis''': ''Somewhat. That was pretty tough.''

*'''Eve''': ''Data analysis complete. That creature is the strongest among all that dwell in this area.''

*'''Lu''': ''Ohoho is that why you were so wary of me as well? Aren't you just adorable~''

*'''Elesis''': ''Errr...''

*''(Keeee- Screeeech- Keeeee--!!)''

*'''Chung''': ''Ara!!!''

*'''Eve''': ''It's not the same monster, it merely has the same appearance. Wait... Enemies approaching! 10... 20... 50... 100?! Danger level at critical point! Everyone wa..!!''

*''(Keeeeee- Keee-!!!)''

*'''Aisha''': ''... sword. Elsword!! Are you okay?''

*'''Aisha''': ''What are you zoning out for? Let's go, everyone's waiting.''

*'''Aisha''': ''Did you hurt yourself earlier? ... If you're worried about anything, let us know, ok?''

*'''Aisha''': ''What did you say-!! You want a taste of my magic?!''

*'''Add''': ''Hmph, what use is a demon that doesn't know their way around the Demon Realm?''

*'''Ara''': ''Ahaha, Add... (Sigh)''

*'''Rose''': ''Good idea. Let's hurry then.''

----

*'''Lu''': ''Ah, such a shame.''

*'''Raven''': ''Though it will be easier to find our way with the mushrooms lighting to the path. Even if we can't eat it.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Hm?''

*'''Rena''': ''Everyone stand where you are.''

*'''Ciel''': ''Oh,''

*'''Elesis''': ''(Then this must be the dark continent. I never knew the dark continent was part of the Demon Realm.)''

*'''Rena''': ''... They seem different from the Dark Elves that invaded Elrios.''

*'''Rena''': ''Let's try speaking to them.... I'm sure they'd understand the Ancient Elvan language.''

*'''Dark Elf''': ''<font color=#D600FF>! Who's there!</font>''

*'''Rena''': ''<font color=#2EE400>We have no intention to fight. We're here to talk.</font>''

*'''Dark Elf''': ''<font color=#2EE400>Ancient Elvan? Are you an elf from Elrios?</font>''

*'''Aisha''': ''I hope so...''

*'''Dark Elf''': ''<font color=#2EE400>... What?! You came through the Cave of Death? You dare lie to us? Nothing can survive inside that cave. I knew you were suspicious. You're under arrest!</font>''

*'''Rena''': ''Sigh... We can't let our guards down even a moment...''

*'''Ara''': ''Look! We can step on these mushrooms to reach to the top of this tree!''

*'''Aisha''': ''Wow, so pretty!''

*'''Eve''': ''Stand back, the pollen might be poisonous.''

*''Keeeee-!''

*'''Rose''': ''Ah, looks like it lures its food this way. Everyone be careful!''

*'''Raven''': ''It's not calming down...!''

*'''Raven''': ''When you've fought us at every corner only to disappear after Hamel, isn't it natural we thought you were dead?''

*'''Chloe''': ''If I were weak and naive like you lot maybe.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Elsword, wait. Chloe, what are you doing all alone? You've always had a couple of elves with you when you were in Velder. Plus, the Dark Elves we've seen earlier didn't seem to know anything about the Demon invasion in Elrios.''

*'''Chloe''': ''......''

*'''Ara''': ''Is there a village nearby?''

*'''Chloe''': ''... Yes, on the way to the village, I heard a commotion. When I came to check, you morons went ahead and killed the Red Guardian.''

*'''Chloe''': ''I can't believe I'm talking to these idiots. The Guardian represents the forest. It eliminates the enemies of the forest in place of the trees. The Dark Elves live in symbiotic relationship with the Red Guardian as the other guardian of the forest. By now, they probably know you're here. I can't believe you lot are still getting in my way.''

*'''Add''': ''What did you...!''

*'''Raven''': ''We can't fully trust her due to what happened in the past, but we need her help to get out of this forest.''

*'''Ciel''': ''If we can just resolve our misunderstanding with the Dark Elves, we might be able to stay temporarily at their village.''

*'''Chloe''': ''No.''

*'''Aisha''': ''We didn't even finish asking.''

*'''Chung''': ''Oh, thank you! I wasn't prepared for so much wild life. My cannon keeps getting in the way, haha.''

*'''Eve''': ''Moby, Remy, please cut down all the branches around Chung.''

*'''Ara''': ''Oooh! Thank you! I almost splashed myself.''

*'''Add''': ''Hm... Dynamo, analyze the components. This is drinkable water.''

*'''Chloe''': ''... Are you stupid? What did you think the Demon Realm would be like?''

*'''Ara''': ''Err... Barren wasteland swarming with monsters?''

*'''Rena''': ''What happened Chloe?''

*'''Chloe''': ''... Isn't it obvious? They are conservative and old fashioned, treating those who leave the village as traitors. It's apparent now that a warm welcome was too much to ask for. Just... shut up and follow me. There's still one more trick up my sleeve.''

*'''Chloe''': ''There's one elf I can talk to, who somewhat understands my situation. We need to talk to her. We're going through the shortcut. I'm not slowing down for you, if you lose me, that will be your damn fault.''

}}

*'''Zero''': ''What's this shiny thing...? Uaaah! Thorns!!''

*'''Chung''': ''I guess we should watch where we're going as well.''

*'''Chloe''': ''Do you want to be a pin cushion?''

*'''Raven''': ''Elsword does have a point...''

*'''Ara''': ''It might take them by surprise.''

*'''Sentinel Commander''': ''<font color=#D600FF>Hmph, you think you can take us head on? Well, I commend your bravery.</font>''

*'''Chloe''': ''Tsk, how troublesome. Of course it's going to be her.''

*'''Sentinel Commander''': ''<font color=#D600FF>You shall not pass. We will make you regret entering our domain.</font>''

*''(whhhheeeee!)''

*'''Sentinel Commander''': ''<font color=#D600FF>Come! Traitors and intruders have no place here!</font>''

----

*'''Ciel''': ''Is this ever going to end?''

*'''Sentinel Commander''': ''<font color=#D600FF>... I acknowledge you are strong warriors, but I will not let you pass!</font>''

*'''Edith''': ''<font color=#2EE400>... I see. So you don't believe we are the 'Cursed Elves'?</font>''

*'''Rena''': ''<font color=#2EE400>That... That is...</font>''

*'''Aisha''': ''Something important, that's for sure. They look serious...''

*'''Edith''': ''<font color=#2EE400>Ah, I apologize if I made you unconfortable with this question. I was merely curious. This is something others should understand as well. Chloe, if you would?</font>''

*'''Chloe''': ''<font color=#D600FF>The Demon Army is in complete disarray. With several commanders defeated in Elrios, the spots left empty are being fought over by those who are hungry for power. I left before I got caught in the mess, but they probably noticed I'm gone by now. This place is no longer safe. We need to leave now.</font>''

*'''Edith''': ''......''

*'''Elesis''': ''... I'm still in your debt. If we can help in any way, I want you to tell us.''

*'''Chloe''': ''......''

----

*'''Rose''': ''But she left to avoid being swept in the current conflict; which leaves the village in danger as it's a breach in contract.''

*'''Add''': ''So it's all your fault. In the end, it's because you were not confident enough in your abilities to deal with those coming for your throat.''

*'''Ara''': ''A, Add!''

*'''Chloe''': ''You're right. It's because I'm no strong enough.... But that's why I'm here. I could no let my weakness be the downfall of this village.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Haha, it's a long story that happened long ago. How about I tell you next time?''

*'''Edith''': ''<font color=#2EE400>So you've come here to find information on the Dark El and find your missing family members.</font>''

*'''Ciel''': ''Alright, I have the perfect tea set.''

*'''Eve''': ''You mean they were not damaged during battle?''

*'''Ain''': ''Yes, Elsword?''

*'''Ain''': ''?''

*'''Ain''': ''No need to apologize. When you're ready to talk, I'll still be listening.''

*'''Ain''': ''Haha, maybe you're just obtuse.''

*'''Lu''': ''What? You good for nothing...! I can't believe I was worried about you!''

*'''Rena''': ''That's the same monster we saw in the forest!''

*'''Aisha''': ''I thought they were with the Dark Elves!! Wait... Did it always look like that...?!''

*'''Small Spirit''': ''We've arrived. This is where Nephilim Lord dwells.''

*'''Aisha''': ''There's something ominous about this place as well.''

*''Booom- Craaaack!''

*'''Ara''': ''Uuah! E.. Earthwuake?!''

*'''Eve''': ''He's also in berserk. A power so strong that it influences Nephilim Lord...? I don't believe this.''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''Kuuuaaah!!''

*'''Chung''': ''Kugh...!!!''

*'''Raven''': ''The Dark Nephilim in Velder has nothing on this one...!!!''

*'''Dark Elf''': ''<font color=#D600FF>You are not at fault Noble Protector...! It was our duty as the Black Guardians to notice anything that's gone amiss!</font>''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''Now is not the time to decide who's at fault. We have to eliminate the source of this matter.''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''... Ah, I remember you. You are the boy in my memory.''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''Perhaps it was, perhaps it wasn't.''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''It's impossible for someone inexperienced to summon me in entirety. To resolve this, they brought an artificial source of mana. But my power is not to be contained by such inferior device. The being that was summoned there, is weaker than the youngest Nephilim here.''

*'''Elesis''': ''(And we struggled really hard trying to stop it...''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''Hm... I cannot be certain, but its only been a few months. But you're an adventurer from a different realm with no concern for ours. What is it that you wish to ask of me?''

*'''Ciel''': ''You are right. As expected of the Great Deity.''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''And how do I know you're any different from this... group?''

*'''Lu''': ''I can't believe how obstinate you are being! Did you forget that we helped you come to your senses?''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''... There's always those who seek the power of the Dark El. I have never encountered any who claimed themselves to be of Henir's Order. But perhaps they were among many I've met.''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''Hm... Perhaps you should eliminate the source of the aura that disturbed this place in my stead. Once the source is eliminated and the asylum at peace, I will accept you have integrity, and provide you the information you need.''

*'''Lu''': ''Sigh... Seems like we're running errands for anyone these days.''

*'''Lu''': ''Yes, yes, of course. It's just as you say. And I'm not so heartless that I'd ignore the situation they are in.''

*'''Ciel''': ''Huhu...''

*'''Raven''': ''You're not inconveniencing yourself?''

*'''Small Spirit''': ''This is nothing! Please let me repay you for saving my life.''

*'''Nephilim Lord''': ''... Hm?''

*'''Dark Elf''': ''What is it, Lord Nephilim?''

*'''Elesis''': ''Looks like everywhere else is surrounded by red fog. But it's clear where we're standing.''

*'''Raven''': ''Like the eye of the storm...''

*'''Ain''': ''You too? I also feel like something is vaguely familiar.''

*'''Ciel''': ''I don't know. It's true Lanox is also covered in ashes and flames, but it's definitely more livelier than this place.''

*'''Eve''': ''!! Incoming!! Everyone spread out!''

*''Booom!''

*'''Lu''': ''Wha, where did that come from?!''

*'''Ciel''': ''I don't think anyone's hurt, but what was that?''

*'''Eve''': ''I saw it flying straight from the tower. It looked like a giant orb of fire...''

*'''Add''': ''How did it fly all the way here without us noticing anything? We should have felt it coming.''

*''Rumble Rumble''

*'''Ara''': ''The ground is shaking! Is it from the impact earlier?''

*'''Elesis''': ''Something's strange.''

*'''Eve''': ''I think so too. This creature... did not have any demonic energy. In fact...''

*''Rumble Rumble''

*'''Chung''': ''Everything is shaking again! Are the monsters back?!''

*'''Add''': ''I can't believe we still have to rely on your sense of smell.''

*'''Rena''': ''There are traces on the wall that look like lava. Looks like we fell down pretty deeply...''

*'''Eve''': ''Let me see. How interesting. This looks like it was cut with a sharp, scorching weapon.''

*'''Aisha''': ''Everyone look! Is that... a scythe? It's a giant scythe!''

*'''Add''': ''It missed? No, that's not it!''

*'''Elesis''': ''The fire...! Elsword!!''

*'''???''': ''I'm not interested... In strength to protect someone else. I need to fulfill my purpose...''

*'''Ain''': ''Elsword!!''

*'''Aisha''': ''This is no time to joke around! Go get yourself healed!''

----

*'''Rena''': ''The fire... is gone.''

*'''Aisha''': ''What did you...? Ugh... Never mind. I'm too tired...''

*'''Raven''': ''Our best course of action is to rest here for now. We should stay here until everyone is well rested.''

*'''Eve''': ''Earlier? Ah, you mean before we fell. The golem we fought had some demonic energy due to the rocks and ore being from the Demon Realm... But unlike the exterior, it looked like the core had little to do with demonic energy.''

*'''Elesis''': ''You're right... It almost felt like... Fire.''

*'''Rena''': ''Fire?''

*'''Elesis''': ''Yes. Just like Eve said, the golems, the scythe, they both didn't feel like they were made of demonic energy.''

*'''Aisha''': ''Well Elsword kept saying it felt like Lanox around here. Maybe it's because these things are made of fire?''

*'''Ain''': ''Hm... But why would a place in the Demon Realm have fire energy similar to the one in Lanox? After all, it's not like another Fire El is housed here.''

*'''Aisha''': ''Mmmm...''

*'''Elesis''': ''This would have been easier to figure out if Denif or Ignia were here...''

*'''Eve''': ''This cave was surprisingly well connected. According to my calculations, the opening will lead us straight back to the tower.''

*'''Lu''': ''I don't care who we have to face, as long as it doesn't handle fire. I am sick of smelling ashes and flames.''

*'''Elesis''': ''The energy is so potent. Everything is shaking!''

*''GRROOOOOWL!!''

*'''Chung''': ''It's forming some kind of shape. It looks like the golem from earlier!''

*'''Eve''': ''It may look similar, but the sheer amount of energy it holds is nothing like before...! Be careful! Something's approaching!''

*'''Ain''': ''Looks like floating stones. It separated from the ground due to the shockwave. But... It doesn't look like it will be floating for long.''

*'''Raven''': ''The floating stones might help to attack the enemies at the top. The distance is just close enough for us to attempt the attack.''

----

*'''Ara''': ''The monsters are falling from the tower. Did we... defeat it?''

*'''Chung''': ''This tower is strange. I don't see anything that can be considered an entrance. As if it was created to imprison someone.''

*'''Lu''': ''Hm... It's a common enough practice after a fight for victors to imprison the loser in a structure like this to humiliate them. With big and small fights happening everyday in the Demon Realm, it's not so unusual that we encounter such a structure here.''

*'''Lu''': ''Huhu, no need to feel bad. It's all in the past. But more importantly, I can't even begin to guess who made this tower, or who is inside it.''

*'''Rena''': ''Perhaps another Demon Ruler is imprisoned in the tower?''

*'''Ain''': ''Now, now, there's no use worrying about things yet to come. We'll be fine. Let's take this step by step.''

*'''Chung''': ''Ain is right! If we work together, I'm sure we'll be fine, no matter how powerful our enemies are!''

*'''Add''': ''Are you done chatting like old ladies? While you were enjoying your gossip, we were looking for a way into the tower.''

*'''Ara''': ''And we have!''

*'''Add''': ''What we found is a destroyed wall that can act as our way in. If there is no door, find another way in, right?''

*'''Ciel''': ''As you all know, this tower was near indestructible.''

*'''Ara''': ''Ooooh... I'm sorry.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Haha, nothing to apologize for. You did open us a path.''

*'''Ciel''': ''Wait. We should be on our guard. I feel something dangerous lurking within the tower.''

*'''Lu''': ''I sense powerful demonic energy inside... I will go in first and we'll advance slowly.''

|tab1=Main

|contents1=

*'''Ain''': ''The demonic energy is here is thick. It must have been building up over a long period of time...''

*'''Eve''': ''It seems we were too quick to come to conclusions. With this much demonic energy, there could very well be a demon ruler within this tower.''

*'''Lu''': ''Not even one. The demon rulers I knew didn't have such a strange aura, and this kind of demonic energy in unfamiliar to me. Further more, if the one stuck within this tower is a demon ruler like me who was sealed away, there's no reason for them to stay here after they regained this much power.''

*'''Raven''': ''Everyone stop. There's an opening area ahead.''

*'''Eve''': ''Ah... I'm getting usual readings. It looks like there is one living thing in this tower, no wait... It's like this entire tower is made up of one organism...''

*''PSSSSHHH-!''

*'''???''': ''Get out of my sight!! I am not an experiment for you to play with!''

*'''Raven''': ''Elsword!''

*'''Raven''': ''Are you alright? I know we got rid of most of the thorns already, but you should stay focused.''

*'''Chung''': ''That was the last of the thorns. It looks like things calmed down a bit.''

*'''Aisha''': ''Are you really ok? You keep zoning out! If you have an injury, you should really get that healed!''

*'''Rena''': ''What do you mean?''

*'''Elesis''': ''A voice? Like when you heard the El Lady?''

*'''Eve''': ''Since you started hearing the voice as we got closer to the tower, it could be a memory of the master of this tower.''

*'''Ain''': ''(Elsword is closely connected to the El. It's not strange that he would resonate with the El. But this is the Demon Realm, far away from the protection of the El. If the Goddess truly created the El to prevent a demon invasion, then there's absolutely no reason for him to resonate or hear voices like he did in Elysion...... Like he did in Elysion? Could it be?)''

*'''Ain''': ''... It's only a hunch that I have... But you should listen to the voice carefully, Elsword.''

*'''Aisha''': ''What is it, Ain?''

*'''Eve''': ''Only a few months. I was wondering about that as well. There's no reason for a being with this much power to remain silent until now. There's no clear purpose, and it doesn't seem to have a clear plan... Oh, I see.''

*'''Elesis''': ''We did have a significant event several months ago.''

*'''Elesis''': ''... Elsword. We're talking about when you've restored the El.''

*'''Eve''': ''It is an interesting theory. If it weren't for something happening to Elsword, I would have thought it was a wild one.''

*'''Add''': ''So, you think the tower is acting out because the El was restored?''

*'''Aisha''': ''Gyaaaaah?!''

*'''Ara''': ''The ey, eye, eye balls are rolling!!''

*'''Rena''': ''An eye of a giant creature? Whatever it is, it's disturbing.''

*'''Eve''': ''I sense powerful demonic energy. There must be another area beyond the central pillar where the eye balls came out.''

*'''Elesis''': ''You mean that thing is guarding this place?''

*''CRRAAAASH!''

*'''Elesis''': ''Ugh... What is this?''

*'''Chung''': ''Ugh!''

*'''Ara''': ''Ch, Chung!''

*'''Raven''': ''Everyone calm down and stay where you are! If we go to them, we will only open ourselves to attack! Chung, what's your status?''

*'''Chung''': ''I'm fine, just a little scratch! I can still fight.''

*'''Rena''': ''Stay safe! We'll help you when we can!''

*'''Ara''': ''Don't worry, I'll make sure to protect Chung!''

----

*'''Add''': ''Finally, even the biggest one is down for now.''

*'''Chung''': ''I'm really fine! It wasn't really a big injury to begin with, and Ara really had my back.''

*'''Ara''': ''It was nothing. I'm just glad your injuries weren't anything serious.''

*'''Chung''': ''Of course. Thank you, Elsword.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Anyway. I'm glad no body was seriously injured.''

*'''Add''': ''What do you... Uaaaah!''

*'''Elesis''': ''I thought we defeated it?!!''

*'''Rena''': ''Looks like that orb is it's core!''

*'''Eve''': ''It seems that's where all the demonic energy in this area was coming from.''

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

----

*''BOOM!''

*'''Ara''': ''The eye ball is still...! Elsword!''

*'''Ara''': ''Ah! It's retreating through the crack where it was earlier!''

*'''Eve''': ''We should follow it. That should be where the center of the tower lies.''

*'''Aisha''': ''You mean there's still more?''

*'''Eve''': ''As I said before, this tower is like a single organism. And based on the structure of the tower and the information I've gathered, the heart lies beyond that point.''

----

*'''Ain''': ''You look like you're worried, Mr. Half-Demon.''

*'''Aisha''': ''It's inside a strange orb. And all those thorns...''

*'''Lu''': ''I can't tell if that being is a demon or not, since the demonic energy here is so thick.''

*'''Aisha''': ''What is it, Elsword?''

*'''Eve''': ''That person is most likely the master of this tower. Considering everything that happened so far, it's just as likely that he'll be hostile. Do you still wish to help him?''

*'''Aisha''': ''Sigh... You're predictable as always.''

*'''Rena''': ''Well, that's the Elsword we know and trust.''

*'''Ciel''': ''What was that? An explosion?''

*'''Lu''': ''The amont of demonic energy flowing is unbelievable... Is this really all coming from that one being...?!''

*'''Raven''': ''Wait, look!''

*'''Aisha''': ''A giant... person...?''

*'''Ara''': ''My! He truly was enormous!!''

*'''Add''': ''It's like 1 plus 1 became 1000 instead. Oi, what do we do now?''

*'''Add''': ''What?''

*'''Rena''': ''Then... I guess there's only one thing we can do.''

*'''Eve''': ''Moby, Remy, get ready. This will be a difficult fight.''

----

*'''???''': ''Must... Leave... Where nothing remains...''

*'''???''': ''...... Here.''

*'''Ain''': ''Elsword! Are you alright?''

*'''Ain''': ''I'd love to learn more, but now it not the best time. The tower is slowly falling apart due to the fierce battle.''

*'''Rena''': ''If this continues, there's not going to be anytihng left to stand on. We need to do something.''

*'''Ain''': ''(He is resonating with those related to the El to communicate.) Elsword, you're closely connected to the El. I suspect the one we're trying to rescue within the monster it also the same. Remember when the El Lady spoke to you? If you replicate that feeling to talk to him, perhaps that will create and opening for us.''

*'''Lu''': ''And when that happens, we can try to break that shell he's encased in.''

*'''???''': ''......''

*'''???''': ''......''

*'''???''': ''... I...''

*'''Add''': ''!! He stopped!''

----

*'''Chung''': ''Ha... Ha... I think it stopped.''

*'''Add''': ''Hmph, we just need to break that outer shell, right?''

*''Rumble... Rumble...''

*'''Ara''': ''It's a person! He's getting up!''

*'''Lu''': ''Ah, his body is completely covered in demonic energy. That can't be good.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Elsword! Watch out!''

*''WHOOOSH-!!''

*'''Rena''': ''It's smaller, but it's definitely the scythe from earlier!''

*'''Raven''': ''So it was his weapon all along??! Another one incoming!''

*'''Aisha''': ''Th, thanks for the save, Eve. I thought I was going to fall...! Ugh... I knew people were jinxing it when they wouldn't shut up about falling since we arrived in the Demon Realm...!!''

*'''Raven''': ''I don't know how long these floating stones will last! Kugh!''

*'''Lu''': ''Ha... Ha... The fire, the scythe, the THORNS! It's like fighting the entire tower!''

*'''Chung''': ''Kugh... It's not easy fighting that figure either.''

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

*'''Elesis''': ''... I guess it's time to make a decision.''

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

*'''Ciel''': ''......''

*'''Elesis''': ''... Elsword...''

*'''???''': ''... I... am...''

*'''Raven''': ''Wait, did that...?''

*'''Rena''': ''... He's on top of a pile of rocks. I guess this kind of impact is nothing for him...!''

*'''???''': ''......''

*'''???''': ''... Don't come... Any closer...''

*'''Rena''': ''Elsword! Don't go too close...!''

*'''???''': ''I don't... Hurt... any... more...''

*'''Eve''': ''All the wreckage in the surrounding area is flying towards him. We better be careful not to get caught in it.''

*'''???''': ''... Burn...... Me... I will burn 'Myself'!''

*'''???''': ''Defeat... Me...!''

*'''Chung''': ''Elsword, Move!!''

*''BAAANG-!''

*'''Ciel''': ''Come this way! Quickly!''

*'''Chung''': ''Ciel...!''

*'''Raven''': ''Mm.''

*'''Elesis''': ''How can we not give our best after hearing something like that?''

*'''Aisha''': ''And time for the genius girl magician to use her full magic!''

*'''Ain''': ''Are you ready, Elsword?''

*'''Aisha''': ''There's black smoke coming out of him!''

*'''Lu''': ''That would be the demonic energy he was surrounded with. It looks like it's burning away.''

*'''Rena''': ''Whoever he is, he's not an ordinary human.... Is that his true form?''

*'''Raven''': ''!... He collapsed.''

*'''Aisha''': ''You dummy! Don't go charging ahead like that!!''

*'''Ain''': ''Elsword, wait. If you touch him like that..!''

*''PSSSS-''

*'''Aisha''': ''Elsword! Your hand...''

*'''Add''': ''It will be more surprising if he's fine after all that beating.''

*'''Ventus''': ''You're right! You were really relentless. I was shuddering from the viciousness of it all!''

*'''Ara''': ''Master Ventus?!''

*'''Ventus''': ''Phew, sorry I'm late. I did try my best to come here on time, but you know how it is! I thought I was going to die several times over! You sure know how to pick your adventures. Oh no no, you don't want to touch him right now. You'll just get brunt again!''

*'''Ventus''': ''Of course! We know each other very well!!''

*'''???''': ''... Shut up and help me up...''

*'''Ventus''': ''Yes, yes, whatever you say.''

*'''???''': ''......''

*'''Rosso''': ''... Rosso.''

*'''Rosso''': ''... Since somebody persistently asked me my name... My name is Rosso. And I am... What they call the Fire Master.''

*'''Aisha''': ''Fire Master?! I, uh, what are you doing in the Demon Realm?''

*'''Raven''': ''... Now I see why Elsword and Ain thought this place was similar to Lanox.''

*'''Rena''': ''Wait...!''

*'''Eve''': ''I can't believe we forgot something so essential...''

*'''Eve''': ''When we entered Henir's Realm, the masters and priestesses opened a way for us, but when we go back, we have no way to communicate we're just beyond the barrier.''

*'''Ventus''': ''Haha, that's why I brought this Wind Spirit Stone. I can roughly tell where you are as long as you hold onto it. If you make it just across the barrier beneath the El Tower, we'll open the path again.''

*'''Ventus''': ''You've already found a lead? Ama-zing! Then I, with Rosso here, will be waiting for you at Elrianode. See you later!''

*'''Rosso''': ''You there,''

*'''Rosso''': ''... Be on your guard. The Master of the Crimson Eye must be lurking about.''

----

*'''Ara''': ''As they say, gone like the wind.''

*'''Rena''': ''Haha, as expected of the Wind Master.''

*'''Lu''': ''If everything's settled, let's go back to where the spirit is waiting for us.''

*'''Chung''': ''I hope he wasn't too startled with the tower collapsing all of a sudden.''

*'''Add''': ''Ugh, every part of my body is sore...''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''Uh... It must have been a fierce battle.''

*'''Lu''': ''Mmm,''

*'''Aisha''': ''I'm sorry, but can we talk later?''

*'''Raven''': ''Thank you for guardian us in our sleep, Eve.''

*'''Eve''': ''You are welcome. However, I was only doing what I could to help.''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''You're awake!''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''It's nothing compared to what you've been through.''

*'''Chung''': ''I guess now we should report back to Nephilim Lord.''

*'''Ara''': ''I would love to... introduce you to my home when we get the opportunity.''

*'''Aisha''': ''The Dark Elves' Forest, the mines here, the Demon Realm is surprisingly similar to Elrios.''

*'''Chung''': ''Mm... Though 'reaction' doesn't neccessarily mean mirrored creation...''

*'''Rena''': ''Can these gems be the lead we were looking for?''

*'''Add''': ''That's obvious. Even though it's faint, these gems hold the Dark El's unique energy. Based on that, we can create a device to trace the Dark El... and other things.''

*'''Raven''': ''We're not fully recovered. It's best if we can avoid any unnecessary battles.''

*'''Aisha''': ''They're coming this way...! We'll be discovered at this rate!''

*'''Ciel''': ''... Too late.''

*'''Demon Soldier''': ''Who's there!!''

*'''Nero''': ''Ah! Over there! A giant bat!''

*'''Lu''': ''What?''

*'''Chung''': ''There's nothing there...''

*'''Ara''': ''Oh! Nero is gone!''

*'''Chung''': ''Ahh! The ground!''

*'''Nero''': ''With this! The master of this vein will awake..! So long, you brutes...! I... I will crush you next time!''

*''GRAAAAH-!!''

*'''Aisha''': ''Wh, what is that strange monster!''

*'''Add''': ''It's just one troublesome thing after another.''

----

*'''Add''': ''It's quiet now.''

----

*'''Demon Soldier''': ''Ugh.. Gah...''

*'''Tiny Spirit''': ''... Now, how can you swing such a dangerous weapon towards such a cute spirit like me? Tsk, no fun at all.''

*'''Demon Soldier''': ''Ugh... Kuaaah...!!''

*'''Ara''': ''Tir?!''

*'''Ara''': ''Tir is a boy I met before I met all of you... How are you...?''

*'''Stirbargen''': ''Hahaha, you might have noticed, but the tidbit about Nephilim Lord wanting you here? That was a lie. I was just curious how much you can figure things out by looking at these gems.''

*'''Stirbargen''': ''I didn't mean to show myself. He was aiming for my neck! I had to be in this form to do something about it. So how about it, shall we call it a draw?''

*'''Ara''': ''......''

*'''Stirbargen''': ''What a surprise! You really didn't tell them anything! You see, the fox and I made a little bet. Aww, you and the girl are so lovey dovey now. Back then, you almost died bickering with each other...!''

*'''Ara''': ''I will kill you where you stand! I won't have to worry about you stabbing my back that way. (E, Eun! Calm down! I'm not sure what's going on, but we must learn the circumstances surrounding us before making any rash decisions...!!) ......''

*'''Chung''': ''Is that it?''

*'''Stirbargen''': ''I like you. I have a feeling I'll be well entertained just watching you. So! I'm giving you an extra service! If I die now, there's no 'me' to enjoy, so I must ensure my survival.''

*'''Ara''': ''......''

*'''Stirbargen''': ''Ah... Sharp, aren't you? How about this. Aren't you all curious how little old me, weaker than Luciela, came all the way here by myself?''

*'''Add''': ''!''

*'''Raven''': ''?!''

*'''Stirbargen''': ''I gave it up because I lost a bet long ago. I didn't expect to find it here in all places!''

*'''Stirbargen''': ''Anyways, thanks to that, I was able to see you fight in real time! It was a great show.''

*'''Ara''': ''......''

*'''Ara''': ''I too... felt similar to how Ciel feels. As much as I cherish my brother, I also began to feel a connection with you. I was worried... That my actions would eventually harm all of you. But, everyone just accepted that I must continue to save my brother. That is when I decided. Just like everyone has fought for me, I will fight for others. I will help them, and struggle with them together. I want to help you... Ciel...!''

*'''Ciel''': ''......''

*'''Ciel''': ''Elsword...''

*'''Eve''': ''We are able to operate as a team because our goals do not stray too far from each other's.''

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

*'''Eve''': ''Of course, I would not recommend sacrificing yourself even if your actions could potentially fulfill your goal.''

*'''Aisha''': ''Huhu, I guess we'll have to make sure we don't become enemies!''

*'''Rena''': ''Alright! Since everyone's exhausted, let me cook up something for once! Ciel! You're off duty! Go sit down and converse with the others!''

*'''Rena''': ''But you accepted it. In rage.''

*'''Lu''': ''Grrr! I..! Mm... Sorry...''

*'''Raven''': ''Speaking of bets, we still need something clarified.''

*'''Ara''': ''......... Eun. I think... You must have a reason for not telling me about the bet.''

*'''Ara''': ''Yes.... It was... Fortunate, in a sense.''

*'''Chung''': ''Mm... I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of him in the future.''

*'''Elesis''': ''Hm? Elsword, it something wrong?''

*'''Raven''': ''In short, after we defeated the strange whale like creature in Henir's Realm, you saw a vision in which all of us died.''

*'''Elesis''': ''That's why at Dark Elves' Forest...''

*'''Elesis''': ''Haha, aren't you all grown up! ... Thank you for telling us.''

*'''Eve''': ''Huhu...''

*'''Rena''': ''Uhuhu...''

*'''Raven''': ''(Nodding)''

*'''Aisha''': ''Hm... It's certainly chilling. Never mind we made it out safely...''

*'''Rena''': ''Perhaps its a foreshadow of something yet to come?''

*'''Ain''': ''Elsword, you are closely connected to the El. The El can show the past using visions, so surely it's possible to see the future as well?''

*'''Ciel''': ''We have to go through the area again to go back to Elrianode. We better prepare ourselves.''

*'''Chung''': ''When we arrive, should we gather the masters and the priestesses to discuss.''
