Story Summary: Difference between revisions

At some point, the Red-Demon Lord [[Stirbargen]] made a bet with somebody where he wagered one of his red eyes. The demon lord lost his bet and had to forfeit his eye over his game. Sometime after the El Explosion, Rosso somehow managed to end up in the Demon Realm, specifically the region of [[Vernimyr]]. During that time he somehow came into possession of the red eye. Some time after that event, Rosso became imprisoned in a tower in the Varnimyr region where he appeared to be contained and experimented on. Rosso eventually succumbed to a state of slumber like the other El Masters till the Large El was restored.

 

One of the four Demon Lords, [[White-Ghost Army|White-Ghost King]] [[Aegirp]] believed that he could bring peace and prosperity to his land through trade between humans and demons. During his reign, he called for campaigns to try and create settlements in Elrios, where demons could attempt to try and live peacefully and trade with the beings of Elrios. After discovering an abandoned laboratory under the land he ruled, the White-Ghost Army was able to create a functioning portal between Elrios and the Demon Realm with the technology they found. One such settlement was a province of North Fluone, where he sent [[Calonne]], [[Gunther]], and [[Deborah]] as emissaries for his quest. There, the demons disguised themselves as humans and attempted to live among the people of Elrios. The White-Ghost Army's primary export were Mystic Stones, which they traded for other necessities which would be imported back to the Demon Realm.

Upon their attempt to return to [[Elrianode]] they once again entered the [[13-1|Henir passage]]. The space was more chaotic with the number of monsters increasing. As they approached close to the seal to Elrianode, the masters opened up the seal but the surrounding Chaos Leviathan began to react and begun to swarm the area is a massive school. [[Elsword]] realized the vision he had had their first trip through the Henir's passage was beginning to come true, the group were prepared this time however the numbers were overwhelming and they were unsure if they could make it to the seal. When all seemed lost, [[Laby]] jumped through the seal into Henir's realm, all the Levithan stopped moving. The space around them started to change, resulting in the entire El Search Party falling into a newly opened fissure, transporting them deep under the seas of the Demon Realm. [[Aisha]] uses her magic to allow everybody to survive, [[Ain]] senses the corrupted aura and deduces that the appearance of Henir fissures is a common occurrence. The group are attacked by one such Leviathan and manage to defeat it. [[Eve]] suggests they move to a safer location and located a pocket with air, sensing no dangerous lifeforms. They travel to the location with an unconscious Laby in tow. They enter into the underwater tunnel.

 

The El Search Party take refuge in the [[13-2|Closed Deep-Sea Tunnel]], collectively they discover rails and suspect the tunnel was probably used to transport something. Suspicious of the discovery and with the information that there were not dangerous lifeforms, they agree to investigate further into the tunnel. [[Laby]] wakes up and is glad to finally see the El Search Party. She introduces herself and some things that have happened thus far, notably informing that the Earth Master [[Gaia|Bellonde Gaia]] was also back in [[Elrianode]]. Laby tells them she promised [[Denif]] she'd bring back the El Search Party, but Elsword informs her that they are stranded in the Demon Realm. Laby was surprisingly delighted by the revelation and tells the group what [[Rosso]] had told to her. [[Lu/Ciel|Lu]] much like others did not feeling any demon energy from her. Laby reveals her origins, [[Ain]] is very suspicious to how a potential existence from the Demon Realm was being sealed in the Black Forest.

A gas leak caught the group off guard. [[Eve]] sends Moby and Remy to investigate the gas, however a curious Laby, Lu, and [[Ara]] recklessly ingest some of the gas. [[Lu/Ciel|Ciel]] tired stopping them, Eve finished her analysis revealing it to be some form of toxis substance, but luckily is not harmful in small doses. The group are suddenly ambushed by A.M.P.S robots. Eve is surprised to see such worn robots to still be functional. [[Raven]] takes apart one of the robots and find that while their exteriors are worn, their interiors have been regularly maintained. [[Elesis]] notes the particular robots acted more like security systems than worker drones, queuing the group to suspect something of importance laid at the end of the tunnel.

At the end Eve detects that only sea lied beyond. The door in front of them began to move on its own, revealing itself to be a A.M.P.S type robot itself. Once the group managed to defeat the robot, Eve detected a new life form approaching. [[Winster]] had already spotted the group, especially Steel Queen [[Lu/Ciel|Luciela]] and had considered destroying the tunnel entirely to rid the potential threads, however he meets to greet them on the possibility they may ally, feigning ignorance of Lu's identity. [[Ara]] and [[Chung]] were wary of the demon as a potential subordinate of [[Ran]]. Laby notes that [[Calonne]] had a similar look which surprised Winster, he then denies any relation to Ran and introduces himself as the tunnel's administrator. Lu asks Winster the purpose of the tunnel, Winster tells them the history of his people and how they were persecuted and took refuge in the region, as well as their plans to rebel and reclaim their land. Ciel wonders if the demon from Winster's story was the Demon King, but Lu suspects it may be [[Aegirp]].

[[Winster]] invites the group to his village, the group is initially reluctant, still prioritizing returning to Elrios. Worried that they may end up in a similar situation if they return through [[Varnimyr]], [[Aisha]] asks if Winster would be of assistance but is of little help. Winster agrees to help them reach the surface on the condition they go to his village to hear them out. The group hesitantly agree and take Winster's submarine. Due to the shire number of passengers, the submarine crashes in a the air pocket of [[Rigomor]]. As they landed, local Troshes stole the engine of the submarine, Winster requests the group help retrieve the engine back while he stays and called for help, he does put an extra condition that he wishes for them not to harm the local wildlife. While on their mission they ran into Winster's son, [[Haiban]], who was also in the region searching for something. Haiban guides the group to the nest, on the way he fills the group in about their race's history. They enter the nest and encounter the Troshes. The group managed to retrieve the engine and stop the Troshes without excessive violence, however Haiban comes to deliver the finishing blow before the El Search Party stop him telling him of his father's request. They return with the engine and the news that they abided by his conditions. Winster then bows down to Steel Queen [[Lu/Ciel|Lu]], revealing he was testing if Lu would be their ally. He reveals that he needs her help in order to revive [[Aegirp]], by absorbing the fragments of his soul that the Nous are too weak to [[Add]] is very caution of the prospect of reviving a demon lord, however Lu tells the group that Aegirp is one that they could trust. Laby reveals that Aegirp's army had already been trying to conduct peace in Northern Fluone. [[Elsword]] wonders if they'd have a useable portal, they learn of an ancient portal they had discovered but had never used. Winster offers the use of the portal in exchange for Lu's cooperation, [[Elsword]] refuses the deal, wishing to stand by's Lu's side till the end. They group instead agree to work alongside Lu to assist in reviving Aegirp first. However both [[Add]] and [[Eve]] request to see the portal first before anything is decided.
