- [Altera Core, Main Power Room]
- (CRASH! DDDDD...)
- Aisha: Finally...
- Elsword: We retrieved the El!
- Rena:' Wohoo! That was a long journey. Banthus, Wally, we came a long way.
- Elsword: King Nasod was nothing! He was just a little bit stronger than other Nasods!
- Aisha: Says the guy that was struggling the most!
- Elsword: Now we just need to return the El to its rightful place. Let's return to Ruben!
- Rena:' Wait, who is that...?
- (SLAP!)
- Elsword: ?!?!
- ???: You... What have you done to the core...!
- ???: ...
- Aisha: Wh, what was that? Where did she come from?
- Elsword: ...
- Rena:' She's headed to where King Nasod is. We did defeat him, but it could be dangerous!
- Eve: ... I am Eve, Queen of the Nasods. Fellow Nasod, who... are you?
- King Nasod: Eve... You are awake?
- Elsword: Hey! You!
- Rena:' Shhh, wait!
- King Nasod: It seems you don't remember, but my codename is Adam. I was the AI behind creating our brethren.
- King Nasod: And you, Eve... You are the human type back-up that I created.
- Eve: Huh? But...
- Raven: That's a Nasod?
- Rena:' But... she looks human?
- King Nasod: My main body started a War with the humans to protect the Nasod from their greed but lost and stopped functioning.
- King Nasod: But Eve, you woke up from the Great Explosion. You restored my basic code into this Giant Nasod body and went back to sleep.
- King Nasod: And I have done everything in my power as you programmed to restore our kind.
- Eve: I restored... The code... To you...?
- King Nasod: I must tell you one thing. For Nasods to survive, you don't need this big of an army.
- King Nasod: The only reason I made this big of an army by collecting the El Shard was because I sensed a greater evil and I tried to protect Elrios from it.
- King Nasod: The greater evil are the demons from the Demon Realm.
- Aisha: What is he talking about...?
- King Nasod: For some reason this land was deeply intertwined with the Demon Realm and was affected by it for a long time.
- King Nasod: That connection has become stronger after the Great Explosion. Now there are passages that connect to the Demon Realm all over Elrios and they have been preparing their invasion.
- King Nasod: If Elrios is destroyed by demons, there's no point in continuing the fight for the Nasod's survival and prosperity.
- King Nasod: Eve, as the last survivor of the Nasods... I leave everything... To... you...
- Raven: I can't believe it. This whole operation... it was to prevent demons from invading?
- Aisha: Demons... I've only seen them in books. Maybe he's talking about monsters that appear in the Shadow Forest?
- Rena:' I don't know... This is the first time I'm hearing all of this.
- Eve: I... I am the last survivor...
- Elsword: ...
- Eve: Decide... Wh, what should I do?
- Elsword: Hey, Eve, right?
- Eve: ...?
- Elsword: Are you alone? Then I'll be your friend!
- Aisha: ... Whaaaat?
- Eve: Fri... end?
- Eve: Wh, what do you mean?
- Elsword: It's lonely alone, isn't it? So we can travel together.
- Eve: ...
- Aisha: You, you, dummy!
