Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Elesis: Aaah...! This is Solace's army...
  • Elsword: Such overwhelming power...! And Nasods we've never seen before.
  • Eve: ... I cannot understand the code. They are technically Nasods, but different.
  • Eve: Continuing to fight here will only make it worse. It'd be best to retreat.
  • Elesis: ...
  • Elsword: Sis? Are you okay?
  • Elesis: Oh! Uh, sorry, my bad. I was just distracted. Let's go!
  • Elesis: (My headache's gotten worse since I've entered the Fortress... And on top of that, my head... is hazy.)
  • Elsword: ...
  • Eve: Sure enough... The combined strength of diceon energy and Solace's power is beyond our imagination.
  • Raven: To utilize Herbaon's Nasod army, we need to push through the front lines and take control of the battle.
  • Chung: So our objective has been decided. We'll target all firepower towards the entrance of the Fortress and secure entry!
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • [Elysion Village]
  • Chung: Entry has been secured... but based on the overwhelming strength of Solace's army, they could recapture it...
  • Aisha: And Herbaon's Nasods that entered with us suddenly stopped moving. We could not go any further.
  • Durenda: Is that why you came for me? You're lucky. Phobos...
  • Aisha: Kyaaaaah!!!!
  • Durenda: Stop yelling! So careless...!
  • Ara: Sorry...! So... about Phobos... Who exactly are you talking about?
  • Durenda: Ha? He's right before your eyes! Can't you see this beautiful and noble appearance? Sigh... you don't know how to recognize magnificence.
  • Ciel: She was talking about the sword... in her hand...
  • Durenda: What did you say? This isn't just an ordinary sword. It's Phobos, the God of Victory.
  • Lu: Aw... Okay, what did Phobos say?
  • Durenda: Generously, he said to help you.
  • Durenda: Securing entry was a wise choice. An army needs secure passage to the battlefield before it can do anything.
  • Raven: Hear that, Chung? Your cannons really helped! Nice work!
  • Chung: I- I'm flattered!
  • Ara: I'm glad Durenda will help us with the Hernacyd troops, but... I'm worried they'd stop working like Herbaon's Nasods.
  • Chung: Solace's Nasods worked fine, right? A technology that only stops the enemy... What should we do to face someone with a technology like that?
  • Theodore: Worrying about it won't solve the problem. It's okay, don't rush into it.
  • Chung: I'm sorry, do we know you?
  • Theodore: Haha, I guess you guys didn't have time to explore the village yet? I've been watching you guys this whole time...
  • Elsword: You've been watching us...?
  • Theodore: Yeah. I was thinking of making a deal with you all!
  • Aisha: We're not exactly in the mood to make a deal...
  • Theodore: Listen, I can send these Nasod birds to collect information and stories. I've gathered a lot of information.
  • Theodore: I'm probably the first to know about your arrival, and you fought the statue at the village entrance, didn't you?
  • Ara: We did! How did you know?
  • Theodore: The Nasod birds I send off... I'm able to hear and see everything through them.
  • Theodore: So, what I'm trying to say is... I need you guys to find the lost Nasod birds inside Solace's Fortress.
  • Add: Oh...? ... Alright, but we have one condition, too.
  • Chung: (Add? We shouldn't be wasting time, right?)
  • Add: (Be quiet, fool. We can use him to our advantage...)
  • Theodore: I wasn't going to ask for you to do it for free, anyway. What is it that you want?
  • Add: If the Nasod birds were sent into the Fortress... They must know something, right?
  • Theodore: Haha, you're sharp. I can share information. Inside the Fortress... there's a strange device consisted of diceon.
  • Theodore: Strangely, whenever my Nasod birds get close, all communication stops... as if it's absorbing their Nasod energy.
  • Raven: Is that why Herbaon's army stopped working?
  • Theodore: There are birds remaining inside the Fortress. I'll get them to find the location of the device if you bring them back safely.
  • Add: That's easy... Alright, the deal is sealed!

  • Ara: I think these are the last of the Nasod birds... Are there any that I might have missed...?
  • Theodore: It's not all of them, but these are enough. You've gone through a lot finding them.
  • Eve: Has the location of the device been identified?
  • Theodore: Of course. I'll tell you the exact location. And this device just know it's no ordinary device.
  • Theodore: I think it's best you visit Hugo and ask him about it.
  • Hugo: Ah, long time no see, right? It's nice to see you again it is! Okay-okay, what's the occasion?
  • Hugo: A fantastic new invention... of mine... or perhaps just wanted to see me you did? Haha, stop it! It's embarrassing.
  • Add: As usual, you're babbling gibberish. I came to ask something.
  • Hugo: ... Ask what?
  • Add: It's about the diceon device found inside Solace's Fortress.
  • Add: There has to be more to it than just absorbing energy from nearby Nasods...
  • Hugo: Is... that true? Really? These situations happened as expected. Beginning to understand I am. How should I explain... That core...
  • Raven: Core? What is it being used for?
  • Hugo: Not entirely sure I am... but those monsters... the ones that use diceon energy... probably receives energy from the core they do.
  • Hugo: You know? What diceon is? Amazing it is. Stores so much and amplify... as much as they wanted...!
  • Hugo: And also supply diceon energy remotely they do. They revive again and again and again after getting attacked, attacked and attacked. Endlessly.
  • Add: That's it...! Even if we pushed through in that situation, we would have been surrounded.
  • Elsword: Then... We can attack the core first once we locate it! We need to cut off their energy supply!
  • Hugo: Keep- keep that in mind!! The core must! be shut down first to stop Solace's guards...

Description

Though they destroyed the power source of Solace's army, they won't stop. What is going on?

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Ciel: I thought the core was the guards' energy source? They don't seem to be stopping now even through we broke the core.
  • ???: (Do you hear me... guardian of... the El?)
  • Elsword: ...?!
  • Elsword: (Something... Feels familiar... What is this?)
  • Theodore: Ah! There you are. So, have you destroyed the core?
  • Rena: We did, but Solace's guards kept attacking us.
  • Theodore: Hm... really? I'm certain that deice is the source of energy powering the guards... Then there must be an unknown core somewhere else.
  • Elesis: I think they're somewhere our eyes don't reach. We need your help.
  • Theodore: I thought you might. I'll need to prepare something. Will you wait for me?

  • Elsword: (Strange... What was that voice? The closer I get to Solace... the clearer the voice is getting...)
  • Theodore: Did I take too long?
  • Theodore: I have good news. Two more cores were discovered at the opposite side.
  • Ara: Two...?
  • Theodore: It's too early to be shocked, I also have some bad news. The previous two cores and the new ones we found are all connected to the center of the fortress.
  • Theodore: I investigated further as it was all very suspicious, and found a large central core. It seemed to receive an immense amount of energy from all the sub cores...
  • Eve: The central core... Is it gathering diceon energy?
  • Theodore: Probably? The remaining energy after supplying power to the fortress and the guards was immense.
  • Theodore: Even I was able to feel it through my Nasod birds... That energy was like... massive El energy...
  • Elsword: Massive... El energy...
  • Elsword: The situation doesn't look good. Though we don't know what Solace is trying to do...
  • Elsword: The power of the El... Solace...
  • Theodore: Are you headed to destroy the remaining cores?
  • Elsword: Yup, of course.
  • Theodore: ... The central core. Make sure to take note of it. Of course, stopping Solace is more important...
  • Theodore: The energy that the core emits... It's not something you should ignore.
  • Elesis: Shall we go destroy the remaining cores? Let's go, Elsword!
  • Elsword: ... Yeah!
  • Aisha: ... Those two... They are acting like nothing's wrong, but their shoulders are super tense.
  • Rena: With everything happening at once, I can understand why. I hope you're not overdoing it... I'm worried because we haven't got a moment to rest.
  • Aisha: Yeah... But we're almost there. We can rest after this is all over. Let's go!

As they get closer to Solace, Elsword's condition becomes worse.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Chung: It's working this time! They're showing their attacks!
  • Raven: I see. Are we close to capturing the fortress?
  • Ciel: It's too early to relax. Anything can happen at this point.
  • ???: (... Elsword, help him.)
  • Elsword: (What do you mean, help?! Who are you?!)
  • Raven: ... Elsword!
  • Elsword: Oh! Uh, you called, Raven?
  • Raven: Look ahead. You can't let your guard down until the end.
  • Elsword: Yeah... Sorry!
  • Raven: ... You're doing fine, don't worry. Stay calm, breathe. We're almost at the end.
  • Elsword: ... Ok.
  • Eve: Wait...! Everyone, stop.
  • Lu: ... I feel a slight vibration.
  • Add: ... I don't think it's too far.
  • Eve: The source of the vibration... is that way. Follow me.

  • Chung: Have we arrived? Is this the place?
  • Ara: I think so...
  • Elsword: (That's really strange...)
  • Elsword: (Have I been here before? No, it can't be...)
  • Elsword: (But why do I feel this way, then? Something feels familiar... And I feel a longing...)
  • Elsword: (This power... I'm sure that I've felt it somewhere...)

  • [Solace's Fortress, Central Core]
  • Chung: This massive energy...!
  • Add: There's no mistaking it. This is the central core!
  • Rena: This is why he stole all those diceon cubes!
  • Eve: This is made up of innumerable amount of diceon. It wasn't something he made overnight. Furthermore...
  • Elsword: It can't be... This power... the El? ... It's the El... From the past...
  • Eve: Yes. It's showing similar wave forms like that of the El before the Great Explosion...
  • Eve: But, Elsword... How did you...?
  • Elsword: Huh...? Did I just...
  • Raven: Solace... Did he use the diceon ores to recreate the Large El from the past?
  • Aisha: What exactly is he planning with all this energy? Surely it's not just to take over Elysion.
  • Rena: I think the El Lady... Ah...!
  • (RUMBLE RUMBLE CRASH---!!)
  • Raven: Everyone watch out! The ground is shaking again!
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Aisha: Ugh... Is everyone ok? It's really just one thing after another!
  • Lu: Uuu... I'm getting tired of surprises like these!
  • Ciel: Lu, are you okay? This area is a lot different from where we were...
  • Rena: Is that...! Solace? Everyone, up there!
  • Elesis: If that's Solace... Then that person inside the device is...!
  • Elsword: The El Lady...?
  • Elesis: ... Ack...!
  • Elsword: S- Sis!
  • Elesis: My head... I can't... take it anymore...
  • ???: Of course. The El Lady is close. She's naturally being affected as the heir apparent.
  • Elsword: Who are you?
  • Solace: You've made it all the way, Elsword... and the El Search Party.
  • Elsword: This voice... Are you... Solace?
  • Elesis: My head... feels like it's splitting...!
  • Elsword: Sis!!!
  • Elsword: Solace!! What did you do to my sister...?!
  • Solace: I already told you. She has been chosen as the heir of the El Lady. So naturally she's reacting to the El Lady's power.
  • Solace: Elsword, I told you. Everything depends on your decision.
  • Solace: Is this all you have accomplished this whole time? Everything you've done... And you've only managed to slightly delay the inevitable.
  • Solace: Was the El Search Party fun? ... Let's end it now.
  • Solace: This is the final test. How will you stand against this power?
  • Elsword: What?
  • Solace: Show me the justice you speak of, and the true strength of you and your friends...
  • Solace: Otherwise, you and your friends will...
  • Solace: ... meet your ends here.
