Elsword and the gang may have survived the desert, but can they take the heat of a volcanic territory? Our heroes travel onward to Lanox, an enraged land where a forest fire appears inextinguishable. In between encounters with furious divine creatures, they meet Lanox's young village chief Edel, the mysterious alchemist Pesop, and the fire priestess Ignia. They learn from Ignia that the Sun and Moon Priestesses have gone missing, and the explorers are sent off to the Ash Covered Village to investigate.
As we entered the village of Lanox, an unexpected figure Ignia, the priestess of fire, says that she's plans to stay around town. Lets go talk to her to find out the strange phenomenon going on in the village of Lanox.
Ignia:You're the El Search Party? ..Hm, I was expecting you to be a bit..bigger?
Elsword:I'm sorry for being short.
Ignia:The Prophecy that Wind Priestess saw, I got the same thing. Said this town would be in flames and a great evil will rise here.. Sun and Moon Priestesses are here in Lanox because of the Prophecy.
Ara:Then all three Priestesses are in Lanox?
Ignia:No, the two Priestesses..the twins were kidnapped by someone.
Raven:Too late? Damn demons, they move fast.
Rena:I'm sure they kidnapped them to find where the El Lady is.
Ignia:Demons? That's a possibility.. But I'm not sure, even without the demons things aren't going well around here. Well, they were definitely kidnapped by someone. Could you please go find them?
Add:Kuku... At this point maybe the Priestesses are not communicating with the El, rather being kidnapped.
Ara:A-Add..!
Add:You. Please say you at least know where they were kidnapped to.
Ignia:I'm sure it's the Ashen Land. Ask the village Chief for more info on its whereabouts. To you guys, that selfish woman might open her mouth.
Ignia:You're the El Search Party? ..Hm, I was expecting you to be a bit..bigger?
Lu:Guuuu... I'm normally much bigger and a--amazing!!
Ciel:Sigh.. That's enough.
Ignia:The Prophecy that Wind Priestess saw, I got the same thing. Said this town would be in flames and a great evil will rise here.. Sun and Moon Priestesses are here in Lanox because of the Prophecy.
Lu:All three priestesses are safe?
Ignia:No, the two Priestesses..the twins were kidnapped by someone.
Ciel:Tsk, are we too late?
Ignia:Demons? That's a possibility.. But I'm not sure, even without the demons things aren't going well around here. Well, they were definitely kidnapped by someone. Could you please go find them?
Ciel:What are they planning to do with the kidnapped Priestesses...
Lu:Where were they kidnapped to?
Ignia:I'm sure it's the Ashen Land. Ask the village Chief for more info on its whereabouts. To you guys, that selfish woman might open her mouth.
Rose:... And that's what happened in Sander.
Ignia:The Prophecy that Wind Priestess saw, I got the same thing. Said this town would be in flames and a great evil will rise here.. Sun and Moon Priestesses are here in Lanox because of the Prophecy.
Rose:That's good. We already found two Priestesses.
Ignia:No, the two Priestesses..the twins were kidnapped by someone.
Zero:Tsk, I knew it was too good to be true. Those damn demons.
Ignia:Demons? That's a possibility.. But I'm not sure, even without the demons things aren't going well around here. Well, they were definitely kidnapped by someone. Could you please go find them?
Rose:We'll go look for them. We don't know what will happen to them.
Zero:So, where did the kids get kidnapped to?
Ignia:I'm sure it's the Ashen Land. Ask the village Chief for more info on its whereabouts. To you guys, that selfish woman might open her mouth.
Ignia:You're the El Search Party? ..Hm, I was expecting you to be a bit..bigger?
Elsword:I'm sorry for being short.
Ain:(Because of these powerful demon spirits...the village isn't safe...but also the Fire El energy is becoming unstable.. But the priestess...looks very innocent.)
Ain:How is the energy of the Fire El?
Ignia:Hmm? It's the same as before... Why are you asking such a strange question?
Ara:That's because Ain is God--....
Ain:No, I was just wondering. You don't need to bother.
Ain:(She is lying. Very suspicious...but she is a priestess, so let's just leave it to her.)
Ignia:...You should leave that to a Priestess like me. Anyways... The Prophecy that Wind Priestess saw, I got the same thing. Said this town would be in flames and a great evil will rise here.. Sun and Moon Priestesses are here in Lanox because of the Prophecy.
Ara:Then all three Priestesses are in Lanox?
Ignia:No, the two Priestesses..the twins were kidnapped by someone.
Raven:Too late? Damn demons, they move fast.
Rena:I'm sure they kidnapped them to find where the El Lady is.
Ignia:Demons? That's a possibility.. But I'm not sure, even without the demons things aren't going well around here. Well, they were definitely kidnapped by someone. Could you please go find them?
Add:Kuku... At this point maybe the Priestesses are not communicating with the El, rather being kidnapped.
Ara:A-Add..!
Ain:Haha, I agree with you, Mr. Ancient. You're saying you might need a little workout?
Add:You. Please say you at least know where they were kidnapped to.
Ignia:I'm sure it's the Ashen Land. Ask the village Chief for more info on its whereabouts. To you guys, that selfish woman might open her mouth.
The Burnt Forest is a remnant of a fire disaster. Apparently there are bizarre phenomena happening in the forest... Investigate the Burnt Forest to find out what exactly is going on.
Edel:The El Search Team... You all are here that means.. This place is no longer safe..
Raven:Rumors spread in a weird way.
Edel:This area was once a peaceful land. Lanox used the Fire El Refiner to make this area bloom. But for some reason, recently we've been having unknown disasters that puts this land in havoc. The Fire Priestess is doing her best but..
Ignia:I'm trying my best but there's no progress. The El's power is becoming unstable.
Chung:Is this also related to the prophecy?
Ignia:I think so..?
Edel:You said you were headed for the Ashen Lands? You can go past the Burnt Forest and you'll reach it. Speaking of.. The Burnt Forest has all kinds of weird things happening.. Could you please investigate that? We tried to send people from the village but normal can't really withstand the heat. You were planning to go anyways so could you check it out? That's all for now. Until you find the cause, don't talk to me.
Ignia:She's so annoying.
Aisha:What's that lady, she's weird!
Rena:That earth shaking and everything else.. I'm worried it might be too much to handle.
Edel:The El Search Team... You all are here that means.. This place is no longer safe.. This area was once a peaceful land. Lanox used the Fire El Refiner to make this area bloom. But for some reason, recently we've been having unknown disasters that puts this land in havoc. The Fire Priestess is doing her best but..

Ignia:I think so..?

Until you find the cause, don't talk to me.
Ignia:She's so annoying.
Lu:How dare you! I'll blow this village to dust!
Ciel:Now now... Keep calm, here.. Have a cookie.
Lu:Guuuuu...
Crackle!
Edel:This area was once a peaceful land. Lanox used the Fire El Refiner to make this area bloom. But for some reason, recently we've been having unknown disasters that puts this land in havoc. The Fire Priestess is doing her best but..
Ignia:I"m trying my best but there's no progress. The El's power is becoming unstable.
Rose:Do you think thisis related to the prophecy?
Ignia:I think so..?
Edel:You said you were headed for the Ashen Lands? You can go past the Burnt Forest and you'll reach it. Speaking of.. The Burnt Forest has all kinds of weird things happening.. Could you please investigate that? We tried to send people from the village but normal can't really withstand the heat. You were planning to go anyways so could you check it out? That's all for now. Until you find the cause, don't talk to me.
Ignia:She's so annoying.
Rose:She wasn't very talkative.. But we got what we needed....
Zero:You're mistaken if you think we'll put up with your tyranny!
Edel:The El Search Team... You all are here that means.. This place is no longer safe..
Raven:Rumors spread in a weird way.
Edel:This area was once a peaceful land. Lanox used the Fire El Refiner to make this area bloom. But for some reason, recently we've been having unknown disasters that puts this land in havoc. The Fire Priestess is doing her best but..

The Burnt Forest has been on fire for a long time now and the fire doesn't not seem to stop burning. This cannot be explained by any natural means. Lets collect a Ember Shard from the undying flames and take it back to the village.
Edel:I knew it.. This fire is not normal. What do you think, Pesop?
Pesop:Ohhh!! This is... How marvelous! This doesn't seem like regular fire, you are saying this fire just kept burning? I need to find out more about this fire, come back later.
Pesop:Ooh, it's hot! I see, you can't put it out, no matter what. Amazing!
Aisha:Mmrrrr.. Alchemists are all weird!
Elesis:How strange, the fire is still there.
Pesop:You said you found this from the Holy Beasts? I need a bigger one to research it. A bigger holy beast might have it.
Pesop:This is fantastic! This energy, the pulse... There's no mistaking it.. It is the power of Fire El.
Elsword:Fire El!?!
Pesop:That's right! It is the Power of El!.. But something is off. I can sense darkness within the power!
Add:Then we can ask the Fire Priestess. Where is she?
Rena:Umm, I couldn't find her in town.
Edel:I knew it.. This fire is not normal. What do you think, Pesop?
Pesop:Ohhh!! This is... How marvelous! This doesn't seem like regular fire, you are saying this fire just kept burning? I need to find out more about this fire, come back later.
Pesop:Ooh, it's hot! I see, you can't put it out, no matter what. Amazing!
Lu:Guu... I don't like that person!
Ciel:It's still burning? Fascinating then we could have a barbeque whenever we want.
Pesop:You said you found this from the Holy Beasts? I need a bigger one to research it. A bigger holy beast might have it.
Pesop:This is fantastic! This energy, the pulse... There's no mistaking it.. It is the power of Fire El.
Ciel:Fire El?!
Pesop:That's right! It is the Power of El!.. But something is off. I can sense darkness within the power!
Lu:Then we can ask that bratty Fire Priestess!
Ciel:Couldn't find her.
Edel:I knew it.. This fire is not normal. What do you think, Pesop?
Pesop:Ohhh!! This is... How marvelous! This doesn't seem like regular fire, you are saying this fire just kept burning? I need to find out more about this fire, come back later.
Pesop:Ooh, it's hot! I see, you can't put it out, no matter what. Amazing!
Rose:Um.. Are you alright?
Zero:It's been a while since we brought it but it's still burning. I wonder what it is..?
Pesop:You said you found this from the Holy Beasts? I need a bigger one to research it. A bigger holy beast might have it.
Pesop:This is fantastic! This energy, the pulse... There's no mistaking it.. It is the power of Fire El.
Rose:The Fire El?
Pesop:That's right! It is the Power of El!.. But something is off. I can sense darkness within the power!
Rose:If it's the power of the Fire El, we can ask the Fire Priestess.
Zero:It's no use now. I don't sense her in this village anymore.
Edel:I knew it.. This fire is not normal. What do you think, Pesop?
Pesop:Ohhh!! This is... How marvelous! This doesn't seem like regular fire, you are saying this fire just kept burning? I need to find out more about this fire, come back later.
Pesop:Ooh, it's hot! I see, you can't put it out, no matter what. Amazing!
Aisha:Mmrrrr.. Alchemists are all weird!
Elesis:How strange, the fire is still there.
Pesop:You said you found this from the Holy Beasts? I need a bigger one to research it. A bigger holy beast might have it.
Pesop:This is fantastic! This energy, the pulse... There's no mistaking it.. It is the power of Fire El.
Elsword:Fire El!?!
Ain:That explains it.
Pesop:That's right! It is the Power of El!.. But something is off. I can sense darkness within the power!
Add:Then we can ask the Fire Priestess. Where is she?
Rena:Umm, I couldn't find her in town.
Ain:(Regardless of the Fire Priestess, I could still feel a dark power ... What on earth is the priestess doing?)
The fire rising from the village of Lanox is no natural disaster. Most likely it is linked to the kidnapping of the priestess. Break through the Burnt Forest and go to the Ash Covered Village!
Edel:Power of Fire El? It's definitely not normal then.
Aisha:Pesop says the Fire El was mixed with dark spirits.
Edel:I see.. Listen carefully. More than half the area is covered with volcanic grounds and the Fire El is kept inside the Fire Temple. Which is in the middle of the volcanic grounds. If the Fire El goes rogue and makes the volcano erupt, Lanox can disappear.
Elsword:First off, why are they keeping the Fire El near a potential volcanic area? That's dangerous!
Edel:Please go and investigate the area. If the Volcano erupts, I'm going to haunt you.
Elsword:...
Ara:I don't want to be remembered like that..
Edel:Power of Fire El? It's definitely not normal then.
Lu:The Fire El was fused wit the dark spirits.
Edel:I see.. Listen carefully. More than half the area is covered with volcanic grounds and the Fire El is kept inside the Fire Temple. Which is in the middle of the volcanic grounds. If the Fire El goes rogue and makes the volcano erupt, Lanox can disappear.
Lu:That was dangerous! But I don't think this is just for Lanox...
Edel:Please go and investigate the area. If the Volcano erupts, I'm going to haunt you.
Lu:...
Edel:Power of Fire El? It's definitely not normal then.
Rose:It's not just the power of Fire El, it's also a mixture of dark energy.
Edel:I see.. Listen carefully. More than half the area is covered with volcanic grounds and the Fire El is kept inside the Fire Temple. Which is in the middle of the volcanic grounds. If the Fire El goes rogue and makes the volcano erupt, Lanox can disappear. Please go and investigate the area. If the Volcano erupts, I'm going to haunt you.
Rose:Hold on, what is this..?
Edel:Power of Fire El? It's definitely not normal then.
Aisha:Pesop says the Fire El was mixed with dark spirits.
Edel:I see.. Listen carefully. More than half the area is covered with volcanic grounds and the Fire El is kept inside the Fire Temple. Which is in the middle of the volcanic grounds. If the Fire El goes rogue and makes the volcano erupt, Lanox can disappear.
Elsword:First off, why are they keeping the Fire El near a potential volcanic area? That's dangerous!
Ain:Since the El Shard fell here, the land has started to change from receiving the energy of fire.
Edel:Please go and investigate the area. If the Volcano erupts, I'm going to haunt you.
Lu:You, you lot were here! I'm Luciela R. Sourcream! A demon lord!
Elsword:W..What?
Rena:Whew.. A close one, just introducing a demon like that out of no where.
Lu:I'm not goood at beating around the bush! Huhuh..
Ciel:That's not something to brag about, Lu. Are you hurt?
Raven:And what business would a demon have with us?
Lu:What's with your attitude?! I've personally offered to help!
Ciel:Sigh.. Lu.... That attitude.. Lu was betrayed by those demons invading Elrios right now. She also knows a lot about them, I think that's more than enough reason for us to tag along.
Lu:That's right! I'll help you so that they can never set foot on these lands ever again!
Elsword:Hm.. What to do..
Elesis:It's good to have as much allies as possible... But I dont' trust you yet.
Ciel:Good, here have some cookies. I baked them yesterday.
Edel:The Burnt Forest has been taken care of, so just ready yourself to the volcanic grounds.
Ignia:Hey, I heard you passed over a burning forest.
Chung:What of the Priestess?
Ignia:Oh, I went to the Fire Temple to inspect the Fire El.
Raven:Hm.. The Fire El is okay?
Ara:Trace of demons inside the temple, maybe?
Ignia:It's still unstable but nothing really happened. I'm more worried about the two Priestesses that were kidnapped. We have to rescue them before something bad happens to them.
Elesis:Well, we were going to get to the Ashen Lands where the Priestesses were kidnapped.
Ignia:Go and find something that might be of use! Hurry!
Eve:I found this accessory from the Ashen Land.
Ignia:...That's their brooch!
Steel:Ahhh~ This is..?
Add:W--Woah! What the hell?
Steel:The metal used in this brooch is very special. It withstands all temperature.. But that also means because of that not everyone can forge it. This can only be forged by us, Blacksmiths of Steel.
Ara:So far the suspects are narrowed down to the Steel Blacksmiths?
Ignia:Hmm, they're not kind to outsiders. But the fact that their brooch was in the Ashen Land means.. Don't just stand still, go investigate them!
Rose:This place is quiet now.
Zero:Let's hurry up! The heat is not good for my hardware!
Edel:The Burnt Forest has been taken care of, so just ready yourself to the volcanic grounds.
Ignia:Hey, I heard you passed over a burning forest.
Rose:You're here... I have a lot of questions for you.
Ignia:Oh, I went to the Fire Temple to inspect the Fire El.
Zero:Is that so? Is the Fire El okay?
Ignia:It's still unstable but nothing really happened. I'm more worried about the two Priestesses that were kidnapped. We have to rescue them before something bad happens to them.
Rose:Hang on. We'll head for Ashen Land, the place where the two priestesses were captured.
Ignia:Go and find something that might be of use! Hurry!
Rose:We found this accessory in Ashen Land.
Ignia:...That's their brooch!
Steel:Ahhh~ This is..?
Zero:W--What the heck is wrong with you!?
Steel:The metal used in this brooch is very special. It withstands all temperature.. But that also means because of that not everyone can forge it. This can only be forged by us, Blacksmiths of Steel.
Rose:So then.. Are we investigating the Blacksmiths of Steel?
Ignia:Hmm, they're not kind to outsiders. But the fact that their brooch was in the Ashen Land means.. Don't just stand still, go investigate them!
Ain:(...! Demonic energy...)
Ara (Eun)://Something feels familiar.. Demon!//
Elesis:Is it that way?
Lu:You, you lot were here! I'm Luciela R. Sourcream! A demon lord!
Elsword:W..What?
Rena:Whew.. A close one, just introducing a demon like that out of no where.
Lu:I'm not goood at beating around the bush! Huhuh..
Ciel:That's not something to brag about, Lu. Are you hurt?
Ain:...
Raven:And what business would a demon have with us?
Lu:What's with your attitude?! I've personally offered to help!
Ain:(A demon... That impudent..! I need to calm down... I cannot use my power here.)
Ciel:Sigh.. Lu.... That attitude.. Lu was betrayed by those demons invading Elrios right now. She also knows a lot about them, I think that's more than enough reason for us to tag along.
Lu:That's right! I'll help you so that they can never set foot on these lands ever again!
Elsword:Hm.. What to do..
Elesis:It's good to have as much allies as possible... But I dont' trust you yet.
Ciel:Good, here have some cookies. I baked them yesterday.
Ain:Elsword, why did you side with a demon?
Chung:I don't understand. We don't know what they are scheming!
Elsword:I know you guys hate demons.. Especially since demons are the ones responsible for terrorizing Elrios... But Lu and Ciel never attacked us like other demons.
Ain:You have a soft side. That female demon from Sander also devised some schemes without us knowing.
Elsword:But still... I think not giving anymore a chance is... It's wrong.
Chung:But... I don't think I could ever trust them.
Elsword:Then... Think of it this way.
Ain:In a different way?
Elsword:Lu and Ciel knows about demons a lot more than we do, right? You felt demonic energy in Lanox but we don't even know who that is... When a really powerful demon shows up later, wouldn't they come in handy if they could tell us the demon's weakness?
Ain:On the other hand, what if she joins the demons and attacks us?
Elsword:Mm... We'll worry about that later! If Lu and Ciel are really like that, then we would never lose to them, right?
Chung:Elsword... You are really something.
Ain:(I hate to admit it, but these demons certainly have a lot of information. If there is a demon leader, I can probably dig up something to help us.) ...I see. But it's better to not trust so much. Loyalty and trust does not exist with demons.
Elsword:Sure, alright!
Edel:The Burnt Forest has been taken care of, so just ready yourself to the volcanic grounds.
Ignia:Hey, I heard you passed over a burning forest.
Chung:What of the Priestess?
Ignia:Oh, I went to the Fire Temple to inspect the Fire El.
Raven:Hm.. The Fire El is okay?
Ara:Trace of demons inside the temple, maybe?
Ain:(...It's a lie. She never went to the shrine...the Fire El energy has become more unstable since the priestess disappeared.)
Ain:If you don't mind, would you like to go to the shrine to see the Fire El with me?
Ignia:N-No! Even if you're the El Search Party, you guys are outsiders. We can't show you the El that easily.
Aisha:But Ain is a Priest. He might be allowed.
Ignia:A.. Priest..?
Ain:She doubts me. It may be hard to dig any deeper.)
Ain:No. Since the Fire Priestess said it's alright, it should be fine. Right, Priestess?
Ignia:O-Of course! Leave it to me. I'm more worried about the two Priestesses that were kidnapped. We have to rescue them before something bad happens to them.
Elesis:Well, we were going to get to the Ashen Lands where the Priestesses were kidnapped.
Ignia:Go and find something that might be of use! Hurry!
Eve:I found this accessory from the Ashen Land.

Ignia:Hmm, they're not kind to outsiders. But the fact that their brooch was in the Ashen Land means.. Don't just stand still, go investigate them!
Gloria:Thank you for saving me. I was really.. Really.. Scared.
Ignia:Gloria! Darkmoon! Both of your are safe!
Gloria:I heard Ignia sent them.
Darkmoon:You haven't forgotten... You promised to protect us no matter what..
Ignia:Of course!
Ara:What exactly happened?
Darkmoon:We were unconscious since we got kidnapped.. We don't remember a thing after that.
Add:You don't remember anything? Tsk, then I guess we have to start from the bottom.
Gloria:I'm sorry I couldn't help... sob.
Eve:Making a girl cry, you're the worst.
Add:Wh--..Uh..
Rena:The altar where the two you were kept captive looked demonic. I think demons are behind the Blacksmiths of Steel.
Ignia:...
Gloria:Thank you for saving me. I was really.. Really.. Scared.
Ignia:Gloria! Darkmoon! Both of your are safe!
Gloria:I heard Ignia sent them.
Darkmoon:You haven't forgotten... You promised to protect us no matter what..
Ignia:Of course!
Rose:What a relief. Priestesses, what exactly happened?
Darkmoon:We were unconscious since we got kidnapped.. We don't remember a thing after that.
Zero:Damn it. Can't you think of anything? Currently, we have no idea what they're trying to do with the Priestesses!
Gloria:I'm sorry I couldn't help... sob.
Zero:I didn't think this would happen...
Rose:Anyways, the thing holding you captive, was of demonic origin. The demons might be behind the Blacksmiths of Steel.
Rose:What are you doing?! Until just now, their lives were threatened...!
Ignia:...
Gloria:Thank you for saving me. I was really.. Really.. Scared.
Ignia:Gloria! Darkmoon! Both of your are safe!
Gloria:I heard Ignia sent them.
Darkmoon:You haven't forgotten... You promised to protect us no matter what..
Ignia:Of course!
Ara:What exactly happened?
Darkmoon:We were unconscious since we got kidnapped.. We don't remember a thing after that.
Add:You don't remember anything? Tsk, then I guess we have to start from the bottom.
Gloria:I'm sorry I couldn't help... sob.
Eve:Making a girl cry, you're the worst.
Add:Wh--..Uh..
Rena:The altar where the two you were kept captive looked demonic. I think demons are behind the Blacksmiths of Steel.
Ignia:...
Ain:...
Lu:What are you looking at!
Ain:Don't talk to me, demon.
Lu:Wh--What?! How dare you! Did you hear that Ciel? I am being insulted!
Ciel:Lu... Calling you a demon when you are a demon is not an insult. Although the beginning part was a bit rough.
Ain:...
Lu:Hmph, I'll let you off for now. You better thank Ciel. Anyways, it is really radiating a strange energy. I sense the energy of those who serve a God... but I sense something corrupt..... Hm... Although it is quite common for a human.
Ain:(Stupid demon, mistaking me for a human? ...Is it because I was there? Or...)
