 Abyss Worshiper: ....... ... ....... .......- (RUSTLE- RUSTLE...)
 Lu: Only one of them is charging at us, while the rest of them are watching. I wonder why? Aisha: Isn't that more scary? They can some at any moment. Ciel: Perhaps they're waiting for us to fall in exhaustion...- Aisha: Gyaa! Don't say that! It's creepy!
 Ain: .......- Ain: (There's an altar. It must have collapsed and fallen from above when the Abyss appeared.)
- Ain: (There must have worshipped something once.)
- Abyss Worshiper: [kees... uoy od... tahw... ssyba... fo... redurtni]
 Chung: Is it... saying something? Elesis: I was listening to see if it were some kind of code, but it doesn't seem like it. Elsword: Those creeps...! Red Demon King's Eye: Hm? Do you notice anything about the altar?- Lu: Shush, you menace! Can't you at least shut up when you don't have a mouth.
- Red Demon King's Eye: Now now, Luciela. Good communication is key to good teamwork. Never mind that though, check out that altar over there.
- Red Demon King's Eye: The demonic energy of Abyss is gathering to that later. I can block almost anything with my eye, but a condensed demonic energy like that is dangerous. Take care of it, will you?
- Elesis: I'll go! I need some of you to back me up!
- Abyss Worshiper: [f emac... redurtni... tsri]
- Abyss Worshiper: [iw deerg... dna htarw ni depparw... dees nwonknu ht]
- Abyss Worshiper: [wod traeh eht ot n]
- Ain: (I see more of them, and the numbers keep increasing.)
- Abyss Worshiper: [oces redurtni dn]
- Ain: (I sense aura flowing like wisps from the cracks on the wall. Disgusting... Is that their true form?)
- Ain: (They may look like humans, but it's merely an outer shell...)
- Chung: Ugh... Stand back! Haaa!
- (BANG--!)
- Abyss Worshiper: (FLINCH)
- Ain: (They despite light.)
- Ain: (... Sigh... The demonic energy of Abyss is giving me a headache. The strange odor they emit might also affect me negatively. I have to be careful.)
- Ain: (The blasphemous altar... covered by demonic energy...)
- Ain: (That altar is collecting demonic energy. Not good. We have to stop it.)
- Abyss Worshiper: [a ekil tnew eh ssyba eht nwod worra n]
- Ain: (Those in the back started moving. They're slow, but I can't let them slip. I don't know what you're up to, but I won't let you get away with it...)
- Abyss Worshiper: ....... ... ..... .......
- Ain: (They weren't coming this way. Are they headed towards the altar...?)
- Abyss Worshiper: [niwonk sruo htiw sngila etaf sih g]
- Abyss Worshiper: [ni driht kees uoy tahw taht si redurt]
- Ain: (What... They're holding hands, as if they're praying...)
- Ain: (Ridiculous. Do they even know what they are doing? It's offensive.)
- Ain: (... Strange. Their movements are especially offensive.)
- Ain: (Not only because they're demons... Their action, their being... is bothering me in some way.)
- Ain: (Sigh... I must calm down. Demonic energy is dangerous. I may react to it more than others.)
- Ain: (It makes me doubt and lose myself... I have already experienced something like this before.)
 Laby: Look! Laby found it!- Elsword: Ain! Are you okay?
- Ain: Elsword... You... What happened?
 Rena: That's what we should say. You know how scared we were when you just disappeared?- Elsword: We came back because you seemed to fall behind the range of the eye. Are you sure you're alright? Are you feeling sick?
- Ain: Ah... No, it's nothing. I was so on edge, I didn't even realize I was falling behind.
- Ain: You brought the eye because of me? I'm sorry.
- Laby: Laby's glad you're ok. Oh! We saw a strange altar on the way.
- Elsword: It looked different from others. Can you check it for us, Ain?
- Ain: A strange altar?
- ... ... ... ...
- Ain: This altar... is not affected by demonic energy. How, in this environment...?
- Elsword: It's different, right? But it doesn't seem to be working.
- Ain: It's broken. Let me take a look.
- (CLICK, CLICK.)
- (WHIIRR... SHIINNG!)
- Laby: Whoa... ah? Something was happening, but went shhhh again.
- Rena: Maybe it already happened! Hmmm, see? The air is slightly more refreshing.
- Laby: Oooh? You're right! There's less demonic energy. What happened?
- Rena: This could be the intended function of this altar...
- Laby: Huh? Rena, did you figure it out?
- Rena: I'm just taking a wild guess. This altar must have fell down from above when the Abyss appeared, right?
- Rena: When you look at it, it's old. It seems it was finally uncovered after a long time when the Abyss appeared.
- Ain: Can you tell all that just from a glance?
- Rena: Huhu, I saw a lot of ruins back in my day. This is a piece of cake.
- Rena: And... Abyss is terrifying, isn't it? I can't imagine worshipping something like this.
- Elsword: Me neither. I'd be annoyed if something like Abyss appeared where I live.
- Laby: Maybe everyone who lived here also prayed Abyss will not appear at this altar?
- Rena: With how it was able to purify the demonic energy, the purpose of this altar might have been to subdue or get rid of Abyss.
- Rena: Anyway, I just thought Abyss Worshipers might not have started out worshipping Abyss.
- Ain: (... But it's weak. Even with the power of purification, inside an Abyss, it's power would have been like a candle light before a moonless night.)
- Elsword: ... Hey, a worshipper is coming this way. Let's get out of the way.
- Laby: Is it fine to let it go to the altar?
- Elsword: I think it's fine. Other than the one that's overly aggressive, none of them tried to harm us.
- Abyss Worshiper: .......
- Rena: ... This one's not praying unlike the others.
- Ain: (It probably can't.)
- Ain: (Too afraid that a prayer from a corrupted being like them... flicker out the one remaining light.)
- Ain: (... Ahh. I see now why I found them especially offensive.)
- Ain: (I saw myself through them. If I failed my mission, if I met another fate...)
- Ain: (An apprehension that I might end that way if I lose god, the El, and my friends...)
- Elsword: Maybe it enjoys looking at it.
- Elsword: Since when you pray, you can't look at the altar with your head down.
- Ain: ... You might be right.
- Ain: (That's right. This too, is just my suspicion. If those Abyss Worshipers are priests, if Demon God exist, if they transform when they lose their god...)
- Ain: (There's no way of knowing any of that. But...)
- Ain: ... How pitiful.
- Ain: Shall we go join the others?
- Ain: I have an idea how to leave this place. We'll need the others to try it out.
