When they all arrive to the [[12-4|Forsaken Spirit Asylum]], they find that the spirits had turned hostile, and manage to save a [[Tiny Spirit]] who tells them that out of nowhere his friends just begun to attack him. They all couldn't believe what they saw, as the Asylum which would normally be vibrant and full of life, was a barren burnt wasteland. The Tiny Spirit guides the group all the way to Nephilim Lord where the beast goes berserk. After defeating the berserk lord, he regains consciousness and the Dark Elves please to him to help them. Nephilim Lord recalls the tower appearing in Varnimyr around 500 years ago, but it posing no threat to the spirits until just a few months ago when it started to emit an aura that burned the land and turned spirits berserk. With all the spirits' aura running through Nephilim Lord, he was the first to be corrupted. [[Elsword]] asks if he could tell them about the location of the Dark El or if he had seen [[Henir's Order]]. The lord does not recall seeing anybody in particular related to Henir's Order but tells that many have come to his searching the Dark El in the past. However he refuses to help the group, not trusting them yet. Instructing them to deal with the tower plaguing the sanctum first. The Dark Elves choose to stay behind and tend to the spirits while the Tiny Spirit chooses to guide the El Search Party to the tower. | When they all arrive to the [[12-4|Forsaken Spirit Asylum]], they find that the spirits had turned hostile, and manage to save a [[Tiny Spirit]] who tells them that out of nowhere his friends just begun to attack him.

===Cradle of Sin === | |||
Arriving at the Crimson Edge, the group make their trek towards the tower. The sky turn from blue to a foggy red and [[Elsword]] describes the aura as almost indistinguishable from that of [[Lanox]] and the Fire El. [[Lu/Ciel|Ciel]] disagrees, seeing as the land is far more barren, [[Rena]] speculates perhaps the presence of demonic energy in Lanox is what felt familiar. Out of the tower, a large meteor hurls down and crashes near them, they are all right but a four headed dragon golem spawns from the meteor. [[Aisha]] was shocked to see such a powerful beast, one which she described as only being able to be summoned by the combined efforts of a hundred magician. [[Eve]] told the group she did not sense any demonic energy coming from the creature, but suddenly the ground below them collapses. They notices the walls of the cavern were filled with scorched cut marks and find a lone scythe, the weapon suddenly begins moving on its own. After a battle where the scythe nearly set the entire cavern ablaze, it zooms past the group. As it flew past Elsword, he heard [[Rosso]]'s voice, saying he doesn't need the strength to protect others, just to fulfill his purpose. Eve mentions once again that the energy she is feeling isn't demonic and [[Elesis]] agrees. They chase after the Scythe and wind up just beneath the tower. The stone golem appears once more and the group fight is on the exterior of the tower. In the battle, the beast damages the tower and once it was defeated, the group managed to break a hole and enter its depths. | |||
Inside the tower, they are attacked by thorns, Elsword begins to hear the voice again, this time screaming in agony. He tells his friends about these voices, and they were wondering if somebody was trying to call out to him. Elsword however disagreed comparing these voices to someone's memories. [[Ain]] tells Elsword to listen to the voice carefully, since according to Nephilim, the tower didn't appear till 500 years ago and only begun acting up almost exactly when Elsword reunited the El, something he believed makes a convincing case that the tower is somehow connected to the El. They encounter the core, a Crimson Eye, they fight it off but it escapes through the cracks. The group follow it up to the cradle of the tower. | |||
There, they find [[Rosso]] trapped at the center, they were unsure if he was a demon or not but Elsword felt confident he was the one who called out. A massive surge of demonic energy bursts through the room and a massive demonic form creates from the volcanic rubble stood before them. Elsword begins to hear Rosso's voice one more, this time directly communicating with him. Elsword assures that he would save him and called out for who he was. Taking out the giant, the tower begins to collapse and the person trapped inside was freed from their prison. The Crimson Eye which had escaped the tower's depth inserts itself into Rosso and he gains an immense amount of power. His scythe flew into the collapsing chamber and into his hands. He continues to battle, as it goes on Elsword continues to plea and call out to the person trapped inside. They all come crashing down in the shattered remnants of the tower. Rosso bursts from the rubble and absorbs all the demonic stones to create a dark armor shell as it continues to fight. | |||
The El Search Party manage to defeat Rosso and the demonic stones fade away. [[Ara]] is shocked to see that it was a human, [[Rena]] not believing him to be any ordinary human. Elsword tried to grab hold of him but his body is burning hot. [[Ventus]] arrives out of the blue, having just witness their battle. [[Add]] and Ara were shocked to see Ventus appear, Ventus apologizes her arriving late. Elsword asks if he knew the person they had just defeated, Ventus confirming they were long time friends. Rosso barely able to speaks tells Ventus to shut up and help him. Elsword surprised to he him already awake asks if he is okay. Rosso briefly introduces himself. Add asks why he would be in the Demon Realm surrounded by demonic energy, Rosso dismisses the question. Ventus interjects saying that he should take Rosso back to [[Elrianode]] where they can tend to his injuries. Before he left he gave Rena a Wind Stone, saying that he and Denif agreed upon a solution to getting the El Search party back to Elrios. That if they approach the seal with the stone, Ventus would be able to sense them and they'd know when to pry open the seal. Ventus jokes with Rosso to his dismay, and then asks the El Search Party if they should return to Elrianode together. [[Ara]] however mentions that they've found a lead about the Dark El and they need to head somewhere else. The two begin to leave, but Rosso warns Elsword that the Master of Crimson Eyes is near. They group go back and meet up with the [[Tiny Spirit]] before immediately collapsing of exhaustion. After they rested, the Tiny Spirit tells them he got word from Nephilim Lord of a location nearby they may want to check. | |||

=== The Master of the Crimson Eye === | |||
The Tiny Spirit lead them to a large deposit of Mystic Stones. [[Eve]], [[Lu/CielLu, and Ciel]] all confirm that the stones gave of a similar aura to the Dark El Hennon had used, though faint. [[Ara]] reflects that she remembers seeing similar stones when she was a child visiting the capital city. [[Aisha]] notices the stones were very similar to Magic Stones from Elrios, realizing that there are many similarities between the two worlds. Further down, they spot Shadow Demons with mining equipment, they try to sneak past them but are spotted. The group notice the soldiers didn't seem properly trained, likely just miners, but they are then greeted by [[Nero]] who introduces himself as [[Ran]]'s right-hand man. The group managed to corner Nero, in a last ditch effort, Nero exclaims that he sees a giant bat. The El Search Party still a bit out of it since their last battle all fall for his trick and Nero manages to strike and shatter the ground beneath them. They land and awaken the master of the vein, Dark Agate. After they defeat the gem monster, the [[Tiny Spirit]] thanks them, but a lone demon soldier tries to land a sneak attack. Caught off guard, the Tiny Spirit uses his powers and swiftly takes out the demon. He then reveals himself to be [[Stirbargen]]. Lu tells the rest of the group that he was one of the 4 Demon Lords. He goes on to explain he too had his powers stripped away, before Eun, taking over [[Ara]]'s body, interjects. Eun lashes out in rage, planning to kill the demon, Stirbargen only laughs at their reactions. He offers to strike a deal with the group, though [[Add]] is extremely suspicious of how words. [[Elsword]] asks what information he has, and if it was worth his life. Stirbargen tells them that he managed to get to the Demon Realm because he knew its exact coordinates, he then goes on to tell them that the Dark El has been an object of myth for sometime, with [[Barkat]] as the current leader of the Demon Army seeking it out. He reveals to them that the spirits in the Demon Realm are only able to vaguely sense the location of the Dark El, that even if they did ask Nephilim, he'd still point them towards the mines due to it being the closest large scale deposit of them. He tells them that he had made a bet with Rosso in the past and had lost it, giving Rosso his eye. But now he has it back, though drained of its power. The Demon Lord then strikes another bet with the group. | |||
Heading out and with no other leads, they choose to return back to [[Elrianode]]. [[Elsword]] takes the time to confess to his friends about the visions he had when they first passed through the [12-1|Labyrinth of Ruin]]. The group take caution to Elsword's vision. They decide they need to report to Denif about their findings, especially what they learned from Stirbargen. The Demon Realm coordinates, the faltering political structure of the demons, among other things. They soon embark of their way back. | |||
