=== Description ===

====El Explosion====

Denif tells the group that he is a dragon, part of a family who had guarded the El for generations. He tells the Search Party that they must go inside the El and take [[Elsword]] out themselves. He says that he will open an dimensional fissure allowing them to enter the [[11-1|Corridor of El]]. He warns the group that there is no guarantee that their plan will work but admires their commitment. He lastly warns the group that the El energy will most likely test their resolve and failure may result in them being consumed by the El.

The El Search Party was unsure what exactly they'd need to search out to replace the diceon being used in the El. Denif mentions a shrine his family had been guarding for generations at the [[11-2|Water Dragon Sanctum]], he is unaware of what exactly lies inside the shrine but knows it radiates an immense El energy, who which can be felt despite the object being sealed. This being his only lead was the perfect place to start their search. Denif however mentions that the [[11-2|Water Dragon Sanctum]] is a place that had fallen into the gaps of Henir sprouting around the city, located in the outskirts of the city, Henir consumes the area. Denif tells the group that he can still send the group to the entrance, but he cannot do anything about the Henir wall. Speaking about Henir, Denif says that Henir energy in itself is not bad, in fact Henir energy is in part what comprised Elrios in its early stages, but the situation at hand is quite strange. Denif informs the group that when the original El brought life to Elrios, it too created traces of Henir energy as feedback. [[Rena]] wonders if the resurgence of Henir around [[Elrianode]] could be a response of the El reforming and creating, Denif was unsure, finding the current situation different than what he had read. Unlike Henir energy created as feedback which just twist the world around them, the Henir energy currently present appear to be destroying everything around them, hypothesizing that something must be intervening. Planning to send the group of to the [[11-2|Water Dragon Sanctum]], he tells the group that they must find a gate to access the sanctum, and that [[Elsword]] should be able to react and find it for them. Despite that, he states that the gate is still sealed, that only very few knew how to unlock it, even during the Ellian Kingdom's peak. He was shocked to learn that [[Aisha]] might be able to. He was even more shocked when he learned [[Aisha]] and her grandfather were members of the Landar family, the greatest magician family of the Ellian Kingdom, he was very pleased to have met a member of the Landar family. With [[Aisha]] able to undo the seals, Denif counted on her to get them inside the [[11-2|Water Dragon Sanctum]] before sending them off.

After their confrontation with a [[Hennon|mysterious man]] and Henir cult and the [[11-2|Water Dragon Sanctum]], the group went back to [[Elrianode]] to contact Denif about the situation. Denif was shocked to learn that others had too known about the seal inside the sanctum. Unsure how this could've been, Denif wondered if the intruders had connections with other water dragons in the past, however he still finds that possibility unlikely. [[Add]] proposes that someone else might have known about it before the water dragons. Upon some thought, Denif recalls that the water dragons had been given the task by humans long ago, he thought that these intruders might be decedents of those humans. [[Ain]] brings to the table Hernir's Order, which Denif too considers, however cannot drawn any concrete conclusions with so little information. Afterwards, [[Raven]] showed Denif an orb which they retrieved from the intruders. [[Elesis]] tells Denif that the orb contained unknown substances and radiated Henir energy, that all the people they saw use the orb turned into monsters. Denif was surprised by the news, wondering if those under the orb's influence had gone berserk, which [[Rena]] corrected that they had actually transformed into abominations. Denif was confused by the revelations, recalling back to the assaults on the El by [[Henir's Order]] in the past, we worried for the current situation and insisted they seek methods to counter it quickly.

While the El Search Party were investigating [[11-3|Elrianode City]] on their own, Denif was greeted by a completely new adventure, [[Rose]] arrived in [[Elrianode]], having been sent by the [[Hernia|El Lady]]. She shows Denif the symbol of the El Ladys she was given and Denif knew to trust [[Rose]]. Due to Zero being in possession a vast amount of data on ancient [[Elrianode]], she believed she may be able to find the passage to Henir. Denif agreed to her circumstances and asked her to help locate and secure the location.

The El Search Party arrived back in [[Elrianode]] alongside [[Ventus]]. Denif was pleased to see an old ally once again, however he is still just as annoyed by [[Ventus]]'s gesture as always. Denif asks why he was with the El Search Party and [[Ventus]] explained what had happened to him over the past two years since he was awakened early by [[Lincy]] and [[Rena]]. [[Ara]] tells Denif that [[Ventus]] had retrieved the relic from the Sanctum, [[Ventus]] hands it over but Denif doesn't feel anything special from the stone. [[Ventus]] tells Denif to look at the inscriptions on the bottom of the stone, Denif recognizes the ancient script and with the help of [[Aisha]], they decode part of it, however the message was incomplete.

[[Chung]] brings up information they had learned from [[Glave]] about the passage to Henir's core which is supposed to be underneath the ancient [[Elrianode]] palace. Hearing the news, Denif is quick to tell the group about a individual he had encountered soon after the group departed. Soon after, [[Rose]] and Zero arrived back to [[Elrianode]] form a survey of the entrance to the [[11-4|Debrian Laboratory]]. Denif let's the group go with [[Rose]] to see what they can find in the [[11-4|Debrian Laboratory]].

The El Search Party hurry and return to [[Elrianode]] with the news they found in the [[11-4|Debrian Laboratory]]. The group tell Denif of Henir's Passage and that [[Henir's Order]] must've been taking energy from it as soon as [[Elrianode]] was awakened, assuring Denif's suspicion. [[Lu/Ciel|Lu]] then tells Denif about the demon script she found in the lab, tell him that if the relic which she now knows is the Primal El and a Dark El were to combine, it would release immense amounts of power. Denif was confused by the statement, wondering how the two stones would combine, [[Lu/Ciel|Lu]] then went on to tell everybody that the Dark El was a mirror of the large El in Elrios, which Denif soon recalls certain text he had read long ago making vague reference to the idea. He grows concerned over what power [[Henir's Order]] truly had, seeing their presence in [[Elrianode]]'s ancient palace even in its prime. [[Elesis]] growing concerned over the possibility of the [[Hennon|Myserious Man]] attacking the El Tower, she requests that Denif hand the Primal El over to the group which he does comply, giving the Primal El to [[Elsword]]. Soon after, [[Elesis]] and the group's suspicions became a reality and the [[Hennon|Mysterious Man]] came through a portal right in front of the El Tower.

After the battle with [[Hennon]], Denif kept an eye on the El Priestesses as they took on the role of the El Lady. [[Ventus]] walks into the El Tower with the El Search Party with an enthusiastic expression on his face. Denif feels concerned, but is soon greeted by good news that [[Ventus]] and discovered an Elriabrunnr that may be the [[11-6|Forgotten Elrian Sanctum]]. Denif is impressed by [[Ventus]]'s elf sense but also reprimands him for leaving his post. [[Elsword]] is confused by the speak of Elriabrunnrs and Sanctums. Denif explains that Elriabrunnr are locations where a high concentration of El energy gathers, like water in a valley, and the Sanctum is one such Elriabrunnr that the ancient Elrians used to train. Denif warns the group of the risks of entering a high El concentrated area, much like in the [[11-1|Hall of El]]. [[Eve]] expresses difficulty getting readings in such area. Denif continues to warn that the incomplete state of [[Elrianode]] and the infestation of Henir may have had unforeseen effects on the Sanctum. [[Lu/Ciel|Ciel]] and [[Elsword]] express that the difficulties will only make them stronger. Seeing that the group had all made their decision to go, Denif wishes them a safe return.

After [[Ventus]] returns from escorting the group to the Elriabrunnr, [[Artea]] expresses a shed of guilt for always needing the aid of the El Search Party. Denif comforts her expressing that they each have their own roles to play, and that maintaining the El, is theirs. [[Sasha]] then asks Denif of the whereabouts of the other Masters, in which Denif believes they must be outside Henir's Barrier. [[Ventus]] hopes the others of not fooling around, and Denif grudgingly suggests that [[Ventus]] search for them if he is complaining about it. Denif expresses how [[Ventus]] hasn't changed, but so much has in the world since the El Explosion, that he never thought he would see [[Elrianode]] again. [[Anduran]] then asks Denif what the Priestesses roles were before the El Explosion. Denif tells them about how the Elrian Kingdom bestowed the title of Master to those who were skilled at manipulating the El, however after an event where [[Henir's Order]] nearly destabilized the El, the order soon realized that they needed to train people who can take on the task in the event something were to happen to the El Lady. With that, the idea for the El Priestesses were conceived. Denif then expresses that due to the long slumber he had been under, he never got to see the fruits of their plan, but judging as the world is still in one piece, he feels reassured that their plan had worked. [[Darkmoon]] and [[Ignia]] begin to regret their failings to protect their El, but Denif tells them that they should not dwell on the past and keep looking forwards, elaborating that since [[Elsword]] restored the Large El, the Moon El she has lost to the demons is no longer an issue. With their worries quelled, [[Anduran]] suggests they help her make her famed vegetable stew, Ventus and the Priestesses agreed while Denif tells them not to go too far. Before they leave off, [[Artea]] approaches Denif.

Once the El Search Party returned for the Sanctum, Denif greets the group. He asks them if they had seen visions of the past. [[Elsword]] and [[Elesis]] both mention that the sensation had gone through them, Denif then elaborating that the countless Elrians that had trained in the Sanctum in the past had left their impression in the El energy, and their impressions taught them. [[Ara]] wonders if such power is unique to the Sanctum, but Denif tells her that any place of concentrated El has the potential. [[Lu/Ciel|Ciel]] ponders about the Demon World and how it lacks and El energy. Denif wonder too, but feels as thought there must be another energy in the Demon World, one in which another lesson can be learned.

While the El Search Party went to [[11-4|Debrian Laboratory]] to pursue [[Add]]'s plan, Denif went to scout around the city. When he came back, the El Search Party began to discuss with everybody everything they knew about people who have been able to cross dimensions, mainly about how the Demons were able to cross into Elrios despite them not having any type of El. Denif speculating that the Demons targeted the Earth El because it was the strongest power source they could reach. With the knowledge that El exists in [[Rose]]'s world as well, the group eventually conclude that the El's nature is actually to prevent travel between worlds.

**[[Ventus]] always calls him "old man".

*After the introduction of [[11-1|Hall of El]], Denif's portrait was modified to display him with pointy ears.
