Elsword: I don't need either. I won't do it your way.
Solace: Why is that?
Elsword: What will happen to Elysion once all the diceon energy has been drained to maintain the El?
Solace: ...
Elsword: See? Then we'll have to sacrifice something again. Yuno and Herbaon wanted to protect this place, and I won't let them down.
Solace: Then will you sacrifice another El Lady, your sister, to repeat this cycle?
Elsword: ... You said, I'm 'connected to the power of El.' That means I should have the power to do something about it, don't you think?
Solace: How foolish! The power of El you have is indeed strong, but there's no way one man can handle the power of the Large El.
Elsword: ... You never know until you try. You may think it's stupid, but... I can't give up on my friends' home or my sister. This is my choice! Now Solace, you said the diceon energy is gathered at the center here?
Solace: ?! ... Wait, Elsword, what are you trying to do...?!
Rena: Wait, what happened? Elsword?
Eve: A massive amount of energy detected from Elrios. How strong can it be to be detected all the way out here in Elysion...?
Solace: I suspect all the El shards are now combined into one. And this familiar energy... could it be Elrianode...? Could it be the ancient city has awakened?
Elesis: Elrianode...? Where's Elsword anyways?!
Solace: Elsword has restored the El with his power... He's probably inside the El.
Elesis: Inside the El...?! Oh my god...! Then what will happen to him?!
Solace: Ah, wait!! The device over there is shining...!
Solace: ...!
Aisha: Could she... be... the El Lady?!
Solace: Hang on, Hernia. Don't try to get up too quickly. You need to rest...
Hernia: ... I've been watching you, El Search Party... and Elesis...
Elesis: ... It was you who tried to talk to me.
Hernia: That's right. Please forgive my rudeness. I didn't want anyone to be sacrificed again.
Elsword: (... Elsword did it to save me...)
Ara: My Lady, where is Elsword? Please let us know!
Hernia: I feel the pure and ever-growing power from within the El. That power probably comes from him.... Thanks to Elsword, the El is being restored to its original form. I, too was able to wake up with his power. However... If the El keeps absorbing him, Elsword will eventually disappear.
Aisha: Ho, ho, hold on a minute. Elsword will disappear? No way!
Solace: When Elsword and the El were combined, I injected some diceon energy. It prevented the El from instantly absorbing Elsword, but it won't last long.
Raven: Elsword... Did he make this decision because of us? ... He shouldered all the burden again...
Elesis: We must save him quick! What... should we do...? Please!
Hernia: There should be someone waiting for you in Elrianode that'll guide you to him. I sense his energy in Elrianode. He's been with the El the longest as a dragon and as a master, so he will know the way.
Chung: Then let's head to Elrianode right now!
Add: Hey, are you tagging along?
Solace: I'm no longer qualified to be a master. And I can't leave Hernia alone in Elysion.
Hernia: Then I can go to Elrianode...
Solace: No, I don't want to sacrifice you to the El anymore, Hernia.
Hernia: Fenriart...
Solace: And there's something we must do at Elysion tower.
Rena: ... Something you must do?
Solace: I need to find the ones who orchestrated the events behind the El explosion. They will come back at it again once the El is restored. Since Elrianode is rebuilt, they will show themselves somewhere. I can't let the same thing happen again.
Eve: We don't have much time. Let's head off to Elrianode.
Hernia: I can help you travel to the master near the El.
Elesis: Sure!
Hernia: Thank you... And I'm sorry. Please rescue Elsword.... And you...
Elesis: Of course! I have no intention of sacrificing ourselves for for the El. Don't worry too much, there's got to be another way.
Hernia: Right. I'll do my best to help you. May the Goddess be with you.
Add: Tsk, that's what we want to say. You go first.
Elesis: Excuse him. We are the El Search Party, and we came here with the help of the El Lady...
Denif: The El Lady...! You mean Hernia?!
Artea: Ah, aren't you the El Search Party...?! I can't believe you are here...!
Ara: Artea!
Denif: Do you... know each other?
Artea: Master Denif, these are the heroes who saved the priestesses and Elrios multiple times. El Search Party, this is Master Denif, the Water Master who just woke up with Elrianode.
Ara: Then he is the one the El Lady was talking about?
Aisha: Master Denif!! We have a request!!
Denif: ...? A request?
Denif: I see. That's why Elrianode came back to life...
Artea: We were surprised, too. The El shards we have been protecting combined into one, so all the priestesses were brought together to one place.
Denif: Since the El exploded, we Master concentrated out energies and given attributes to the dispersed El shards. We have then made a seal to protect Elrianode and fallen into slumber with the city. With the power of the boy named Elsword, Elrianode has been restored, and I have arisen with the city that's been sleeping.
Rena: Master Denif, what about the other masters...?
Denif: Hm... I don't know. I only saw these priestesses when I woke up. Maybe they woken up outside the city... Or they may not have awoken just yet. But more importantly, you were talking about the El Lady. Where did you meet her?
Aisha: Ah... Here's what happened...
Denif: ... I've never imagined... Solace was... behind the catastrophe... I knew I should have done something...
Ara: But this was never part of Master Solace's plan. He also seemed to feel deeply responsible for this whole incident.
Denif: I understand. Anyone who knows their relationship will. But that doesn't justify their actions. Their personal feeling have caused too many sacrifices.
Ara: ... I see...
Denif: Now is not the time to point fingers, since it's also true that he made efforts to rectify his deed. It would have been truly disastrous if it weren't for the diceon energy. But it's unbelievable that this power of El comes... solely from the boy named Elsword.
Rena: Please help us, Master Denif!! We must save Elsword.... Even if it makes the El unstable again...
Denif: The El... unstable again...
Artea: Master Denif...
Elesis: ...
Denif: Alright, I'll help you. I'm also aware that this is not a desirable way of stabilizing the El. The perfection made out of sacrifice will lead to another tragedy... However, to prevent any further sacrifices, there should be much more attention and care put into the unstable El in the future. Are you prepared for it?
Chung: Absolutely. Bring it on!
Eve: It's only reasonable to accept such a cause, Master Denif.
Add: There's no other way. It might be a hassle, but we need to do it.
Aisha: Great, then everybody's going to save Elsword, right?! Let's go!
Denif: We, the dragons, have protected the El for the Ellians kingdom for generations. So we know the El better than anyone. To save the child Elsword, you need to wake him up and get him outside the El.
Elesis: ... How do we wake him up?
Denif: Hmm... You'll need to call him.
Add: Seriously? There's no way we'll be able to reach him with our voices while he's trapped inside that gigantic El. Got any other ideas that actually make sense?
Elesis: Add, behave yourself and be courteous.
Add: Tsk, I'm just pointing out the obvious flaw.
Denif: Of course there's no use calling him from out here. But there's a small dimension rift near the El that resonates with it. Your voices may be able to reach him there...
Ara: ...! Is there a way we can get there, Master Denif? We need to save Elsword no matter what...!
Denif: Yes, but that path there is dangerous. Furthermore, it's not guaranteed that your voices will reach him from there.
Eve: If the possibility is not zero, it's worth a try.
Chung: We must at least attempt if it can potentially save Elsword. So please tell us now, Master Denif!
Denif: ... You must truly want to save that child. I can send you to the dimension rift but you must be aware that the massive energy there may want to test you. The rift is where the El is most active, so you may be swallowed by the El if you're not wary.
Aisha: Uh... Swallowed by the El.... How scary. Everyone, let's be careful.
Lu: Hoho, I'm already set.
Ciel: We can have tea later once Elsword is back.
Rena: Hm... By the way, don't you feel like something's missing?
Elesis: Something? Like what? I think we're all prepared.
Rena: No, I mean... maybe someone?
Aisha: Of course, Elsword is missing.
Rena: Yes, but someone other than Elsword...? It's weird.
Raven: It's probably because it's Elsword that the absence feels bigger. Let's hurry.
Denif: ... Are you ready? Be prepared... Good luck.
Aisha: What is this fog...? Ugh... It feels creepy... Is Elsword really at the end of this cave? Elsword is such a troublemaker~
Aisha: What the... Is there even an end to this? Did I make a wrong turn?
Kuenbaran: Aisha, what are you doing?
Aisha: Huh? This voice... Grandpa...?! How did you...!
Kuenbaran: Stop wasting time and go find the Ring of Mimir.
Aisha: Grandpa! Are you over there? ...... That's strange, I don't see him...
Kuenbaran: It should be fine now that the El is complete. Hurry, before it is too late. I'm worried you may never get your power back if you keep putting off finding the ring...
Aisha: Ugh, he's right. It will be delayed even more if the El becomes unstable again... Mmm... but it's alright! I'm still strong without retrieving my powers! No matter when I get it back, I will continue to become stronger. So, it doesn't matter if I get it back later. This is nothing for a genius like me!
Rena: Is this... the El Rift...? It's all foggy... Where is everybody...? I hope I find everyone outside.
Rena: Hmm... Where am I...? All I feel is the strong power of the El... I don't feel anything else...
Branwen: Rena? Rena Erindel, do you hear me?
Rena: Elder? Is that you?
Branwen: Rena, the Eldrasil is back to normal as the El became complete.
Rena: Really?! What a relief!
Branwen: You can come home now. You have completed your mission.
Rena: ... Ah... But I need to save my friend trapped inside the El.
Branwen: ... Rena, the El is in the most stable status right now. It may never this stable again. If you save your friend, the unstable El will harm the Eldrasil again... If that happens, all the efforts you have put to keep our village safe will be for naught.
Rena: Haha... Maybe... But don't worry. Even if the El becomes unstable again, he will be able to restore it again. Because he is Elsword! So, please wait a little longer, Elder!
Raven: ... It's foggy, I can't see anything. I guess I'll just have to follow this path.
???: You are the enemy of my family...
???: Because of your raid, my father...!
???: It's all because of you!
Raven: Are these voices... resenting me? ... It's all my fault, I know that.... A sin that I will atone for the rest of my life... However, I can't let this stop me. I must save Elsword as soon a possible.
Seris: Raven.
Raven: ...!!
Seris: Raven...
Raven: No... It can't be... Seris? How is this possible...? Seris?
Seris: Raven, if the El becomes unstable again, people will suffer. Are you willing to hurt innocents with your own hands again?
Raven: ... Argh...
Seris: Don't go, Raven. Just give up one Elsword before you make a bigger mistake.
Raven: What...? (Seris would never say something like this... Is this an illusion?) ... If you are really Seris, be patient with me. I know you will trust me no matter the choice I make.
Eve: Even Moby and Remy can't detect the energy of the El Search Party...... I guess I have become separated from the others. There seems to be only one path. Will I encounter the others at the destination?
Eve: Is it the fog..? I can't get a proper reading of the area. This path seems to resonate with the power of El energy..
Adrian: Eve, there you are.
Eve: Adrian..?! Why are you here? Where are you? I can't see you.
Adrian: Eve, will you let the El absorb the child?
Eve: Why would you want me to let that happen?!
Adrian: Eve... Your purpose is to revive Nasods... You may never get an opportunity like this ever again. If the El becomes unstable again, you would be getting further away from your goal. Let him be, he's just a boy that you've encountered on your journey. You have wasted too much time. Your goal is getting further away as we speak.
Eve: I don't understand, Adrian. We Nasods have always excelled with the El being stable or not. Because we are your children. Don't worry, Adrian. There is nothing to be concerned about. Elsword can be bothersome... But saving him won't interfere with my purpose. Because I'm Eve, the Queen of the Nasods.
Chung: A fog...? Is anyone there?! ...... I guess I'm separated from the party... I'll have to move on by myself for now.
Chung: I hope everyone is okay... They should be, right...?
Guardian Stone: Prince... Seiker...
Chung: This is... my voice...!
Guardian Stone: I'm your spirit inside the Guardian Stone. The one that converts your will to devastating power.
Chung: ... I see. Is that why you're speaking with my voice...?
Guardian Stone: Don't go another step, Seiker.
Chung: ... Why?
Guardian Stone: How naive, due to the power of the complete El, our powers have also become complete. If not now, when do you think you'll be able to save your father?
Chung: Uggh...
Guardian Stone: The fact that you are wasting your time saving Elsword means... You have no intention of saving your father.
Chung: That's not..! I want to...!
Guardian Stone: If you want to save your father, give up on Elsword. Get out of here and save your father!
Chung: ... I refuse.
Guardian Stone: Why is that?
Chung: My father always told me to follow my beliefs. If I don't, my beliefs will fall prey to my situation or the people I deal with. Beliefs aren't something that should change depending on the situation. Abandoning my beliefs will only make us weaker. I don't be able to save my father without conviction. I will continue to strive to stay true to my beliefs! ... To protect my friends, act on good will, and be unmoved by worldly temptation. That is the will that gives us strength, Prince Seiker!
Ara: Huh...? I don't see the others, did I get transported to a different area? I need to find the others, will you help me, Eun?
Ara: ... I called, but no one is answering... Maybe I can meet the at the exit...?
Eun: Ara, why don't we just leave?
Ara: Huh? Leave? You mean through the exit? Yes, I agree.
Eun: No, I mean to stop wasting time on this journey. We can save your brother and go back to the village.
Ara: But... I have to save Elsword. Please give me some time.
Eun: Do you event want to save your brother?
Ara: Of course, I do. How could you say that...!
Eun: It just sounds like your are putting it off. If you drag the boy out from the El, the El will become unstable again. That will delay the whole process of saving your brother, won't it? It will be harder and harder to get your brother back to his original self as time passes.
Ara: That's...
Eun: Let's just stop and go back. You need to save your brother and rebuild your village. Come on.
Ara: ... I'm sorry, Eun. But I can't.
Eun: Why?
Ara: I was able to come this far, thanks to the help of Elsword and the El Search Party. Being ungrateful and acting on my own interest is not something the Haan family was built upon.... If Aren were here to find out later, he will scold me for sure. I will go save Elsword.... No matter the consequence, this is something I should accept, not avoid. I'm ready for anything.
Elesis: ... The fog is so thick! Is Elsword really here...? Master Denif did say this is a strange place, I'll just have to take his word for it. Okay, let's go.
Elesis: I guess... Elsword will be at the end of this path...? Elsword, hang in there a little longer. Your sister is coming to save you.
Elkashu: Elesis, stop.
Elesis: This voice... Father...? Where are you, father?!
Elkashu: Elesis, if Elsword becomes separated from he El, it will become unstable again. You will also have to sacrifice yourself and become the El Lady for the rest of your life.
Elesis: Uggh...
Elkashu: Give up, let Elsword become on with the El. I don't want your to sacrifice yourself for Elrios. This is also something Elsword has done to save you from sacrificing yourself. Do you want Elsword's sacrifice to go in vain?
Elesis: ... Father, I...
Elkashu: Come to me, Elesis, to your father. We need to protect Elrios in Elsword's place. Can't you see that's what Elsword wants?
Elesis: ...... Remember what you asked of me before you left? You asked me to take care of Elsword. If you are saying this because you are worried about me, then I'll be fine.... Even if I happen to become the El Lady... Elsword and I will find a way. Just you wait, father. I'll find you, with Elsword.
Add: ... What the... Where is everybody? Am I alone? I should investigate the area.
Add: The fog is everywhere, this place is giving off a bad vibe! I can't see anything because of this stupid fog. Elsword, that bastard... making me go through all of this hassle, I'll make sure he pays for this.
Grace: ... Edward...
Add: ...!! This voice.. Mother?!
Grace: Edward, if you let the El be, you can travel back to the past. The current El can support that kind of energy...
Add: Mother...
Grace: Come to me and find me, Edward...
Add: ... Argh......
Grace: Edward...
Add: ... Something's off. Why is mother here? This isn't even the correct timeline. Dynamo, analyze and identify the person speaking to me....... The reading, it's not a person... I knew this was a trap. Hmph, it won't make a fool out of me. Tsk, Denif was right, trying to make a fool out of me...... But I admit that I was distracted too easily. That wasn't like me. Let's go, Dynamo.
Lu: Hmm... It's not just the fog, something else is making this place feel stuffy.
Ciel: It's strangely full of the El energy. This must be the El Rift... Is it because you are a demon, Lu? You don't seem to feel the El energy.
Lu: Hmph, I don't care! Let's keep going. I want to get out of here as soon as possible!
Lu: ... The fog is getting thicker... Ciel, do you sense anything else? ... Ciel...? Answer me!
Ciel: Terre...
Lu: ... Ciel, what are you look at? Get it together!
Ciel: Right, Terre... with Verni...
Lu: Huh? It's no good, he's hallucinating! Ciel, get it together! Do you hear me? This isn't working. I'm sorry, Ciel. I have no choice! (Smack)
Ciel: Argh! Ouch... Wh, what the? Lu?
Lu: Are you awake? Do you hear my voice?
Ciel: Lu! Did you hear Terre and Verni's voice? They were talking to us!
Lu: It was just you.... It might have been caused by the El energy.
Ciel: Then... was I hearing things...? I almost fell for it.
Lu: ... Don't be sad, the world will continue the cycle of life and death. You will eventually meet them again. When the day comes, you may give them the pleasure of introducing me. But until then, don't be fooled by illusions, Ciel.
Ciel: ... Okay. I promise that I'll introduce them to you. Thank you for saving me, Lu.
