Do the following
Enter Elysion after achieving Level 99
Complete the [Dungeon] The Moment of Choice story quest
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.
Ain: ... I'm still not getting restored to my original form. I guess it can't be helped. Since Elsword's choice has completed the Goddess' mission, I'm no longer needed here.... But the mission wasn't completed properly... Goddess Ishmael... Elsword... No, the El Search Party is indispensable to Elrios... If they're gone, the El can become unstable again.... I have to save Elsword... Even if it goes against my mission...
Ain: ... As I expected... I thought I was just imagining things, but I was right. Ishmael's ultimate authority over me has changed to Elria, the Creator of the Goddess Ishmael... I was destined to disappear soon as my mission was complete. It was strange that my presence still lingers, but now I understand. I was already being erased when my mission was complete. However, I was restored by the power of Elria... Even this extraordinary change, was caused by Elsword's power...... Elsword, you are truly full or surprises....... That's why I can't let you disappear inside the El... Elria, the Holy Creator... Please kindly look over the El Search Party that strives to keep the El, your blessing and your creation. Please allow me, Ainchase Ishmael, to aid them on your behalf to the end of their journey.
Elsword: Where am I...? It feels warm...... I feel at peace... and full of energy. As if... I was born and raised here... What was I... worrying about...? It must have been something important...... Whatever, I just wanted to rest...... Who... was I...
Elesis: Elsword!!
Elsword: ?! ... What was that?
Elesis: Elsword!! Wake up! Pull it together!
Elsword: This voice...... Sis...?
Aisha: You dummy! Stop causing trouble!
Rena: Elsword! Do you hear me? Elsword!
Elsword: Rena...
Chung: Elsword, the El Search Party's mission is not yet complete!
Eve: I said I trusted your choice, but I didn't mean that I would accept your sacrifice.
Add: Get up, you rascal. You've caused enough trouble to everybody. How bothersome...
Ara: Elsword, you promised that you would stay with us until the end!
Lu: Come on and get up already! How dare you make me worry!
Ciel: Wake up, Elsword. There are people outside waiting for you.
Raven: That's right, you the sake of everyone that trusts you... You can't just disappear now, Elsword.
Elesis: Don't cross the bridge until you come to it. We have made it this far together!
Aisha: We'll figure it out. Have you forgotten? We're the El Search Party!
Elsword: El... Search Party... That's right, we were the El Search Party!
Add: We got a million things to do because of you. We have no time to waste here!
Elesis: Alright, hands, everybody!
Rena: Focus on one thing!
All Together: Going back to Elrios with Elsword...!
Denif: Oh, you are back. Thank El you're safe. Is this red-haired boy Elsword?
Elsword: Huh? Who is this little kid?
Elesis: Elsword! Mind you manners! This is Master Denif that helped us save you.
Elsword: You save me...?! Thanks, man! Ah, I mean... Thank you, Master Denif!
Denif: What an energetic boy! Quite impressive that all of you were able to survive the El Rift. I'm sure the power of El must have tried to stop you from saving Elsword.
Ara: You mean those voice we heard were all fake?
Denif: Yes. The rift is affected by the El energy. It's only a mirage created by the El energy.
Add: ...
Raven: ...
Denif: No human being would be able to survive there. If you were bewitched and followed the voices, you would've never made it.
Rena: Boy, that was a close call.
Aisha: What would've happened if I followed that voice...? Ugh, just thinking about it gives me the chills.
Denif: As expected, the El has quickly started to grow unstable as Elsword escaped.
Elesis: ... Kugh...
Denif: Don't you worry too much. The Diceon energy Solace has injected is somewhat slowing down the process. The Priestesses and I are doing our best too, so it'll hold for a while.
Eve: But it won't hold for long. The amount of energy the El radiates is dwindling even as we speak.
Denif: Correct. Once the injected Diceon energy is exhausted, the El won't become stable again without another sacrifice. Before then, we need some kind of energy to stabilize the power of El...
Chung: I expected as much. Let's go, everyone! We must restore the El!
Rena: Yeah, let's go find a solution instead of sitting around and worrying!
Lu: We mustn't go unprepared! Everyone must be tired, let's rest up. I need a moment to gather my strength...
Ciel: Lu is right, it won't be efficient with everyone being so tired. We have a moment for tea.
Denif: Fufu, the El Search Party is back. I'll do all I can to stabilize the El on my end, good luck.
Ain: The El Search Party is at its full power again? It's been a long time since we've been this lively.
Raven: Hm? It's nothing new. You have always been with us, Ain.
The El Search Party came back with Elsword. But the El began to become unstable again. Denif sends the El Search Party to the Water Dragon Sanctum, claiming that a powerful relic long protected by the Water Dragons will be useful.
Rena: Sigh... I did say it with confidence, but... I have no idea where to find this new energy to stabilize the El...
Aisha: Me too, I'm clueless.
Denif: Hm... Now that I think about it, there may be something that'd be helpful to you...
Raven: Do you have an idea?
Denif: There is a Sanctum that we, the Water Dragons have been protecting. I wouldn't know what's in there as it's been sealed for a long time. But I definitely felt a strong El energy even when it was sealed... It must be something very powerful.
Chung: It it was giving off such strong El energy... It might be able to restore the unstable El!
Elesis: Where is this Sanctum, Master Denif?
Denif: Unfortunately, the region where the Sanctum existed has been engulfed by the Rift of Time and Space. You won't be able to simply walk to the Sanctum. The Sanctum will be somewhere beyond the outside barrier of the Rift of Time and Space. Since I remember the energy pulse of the Sanctum, I can send you to the barrier. However, you'll need to find the entrance on your own.
Aisha: Whoa...Barrier of Henir? Isn't Henir... extremely dangerous?
Denif: In the beginning, Henir was part of Elrios. Henir wasn't always like this. It's actually unusual that mixed energies are causing chaos. According to an ancient document, the creation activities performed by the large El in the past had left a trace of Henir's power as a reaction.
Rena: That means... it's being repeated now? New creation activity has begun?
Denif: I'm not certain... this extraordinary change seem to have a different nature than the past. Not only distorting the Time and Space but also showing a pattern of extinguishing living beings around it.... I can't help but think that something wasn't there before got involved...
Aisha: Sigh... Finding the entrance would be the biggest challenge especially when we don't know how it looks like...
Denif: The Sanctum would be asleep as well, so you won't be able to reach it simply by knowing what it looks like. However, I don't think that would be an issue.
Rena: Why is that?
Denif: The fact that the Sanctum has such strong El energy means that the pure power of the El is preserved inside. If it's that pure, it will for sure react to Elsword and show itself.
Elesis: ... To Elsword's power...?
Denif: Elsword's power is at a level where is almost restored the unstable El. It would have been impossible if it was just his strength. It suggests that Elsword's potential is very similar to the El's nature.
Ain: (... It is indeed very similar.)
Elsword: Hehehe, I don't know what it is, but it means I'm awesome, right?
Raven: ... I guess you're really fine as you seem quite yourself, Elsword.
Rena: Haha, what a relief. I'm glad he looks well.
Elesis: Then... Can we find the Sanctum with Elsword's power?
Denif: Yes, of course there will another problem once the Sanctum awakens...
Chung: Another problem?
Denif: The gateway of the Sanctum are locked with ancient seals. They may have needed powerful seals to block the El energy from escaping. Even if you find the Sanctum, you won't be able to enter unless you can unseal it. Unfortunately, I'm not qualified to unseal it. Which means, you need to find someone who can do that for you... The thing is, there weren't many who could break the ancient seal even in the Elrian Kingdom. Not to mention how long it has been since then...
Lu: You mean, there's no use finding the Sanctum if we can't unseal it?
Denif: I'm afraid not...
Aisha: Wait, me! I can do it, Master Denif!
Denif: What...? Are you sure?
Aisha: Hehe, I used to find and unseal ancient relics with my grandpa.
Denif: Amazing... Your grandfather must be an extraordinary man.
Aisha: Totally? My grandpa is the greatest sage in the Landar family.
Denif: What...?! The Landar Family...? They are the greatest family of Magicians in all of the Elrian Kingdom! Can't believe you're from the Landar Family... I never thought I'd meet one here.
Elsword: ... I'm not sure what you're talking about, but are you saying Aisha is a great magician?
Ara: Aisha... I didn't know you were from such a well-renowned family...
Aisha: Hehehehe... You're all making me blush..
Denif: Good, you should be able to unseal the Sanctum and check what's inside. I hope that it's something that'll aid in restoring the El.
Elesis: Please take us to the outer barrier of Henir, Master Denif!
Denif: Aisha, was it? Good luck.
Aisha: Thanks! Just leave it to the genius magician!
Add: (... I've read about the Landar family. The Elrian Kingdom... and the Landar family... Kuku, interesting how things work out. Together with Eve's Core, this could really work. It's fare better than taking a risk extracting the energy from the El. Let's see how this goes, kukuku.)
Chung: I think we've investigated every inch of the outer barrier... Do you feel anything, Elsword?
Elsword: Hm... I'm not sure. How do I even feel the El energy?
Add: Don't rush it, kid. Take your time. Even though it's sealed, there may be some identifiable marks on the ground. Let's me go take a look. Why don't you all get off your lazy butts and go find something, too?
Elesis: ... Huh? Why is Add so helpful? That's strange...
Aisha: I know, what's up with him...?
Eve: Everyone, I have detected traces of a special element from this area.
Aisha: Special element...?! Eve, did you find a clue of the Sanctum.
Ara: ... Hm? What's this? A rock...?
Ain: Don't touch anything suspicious, Ms. Fox.... I feel the energy of Henir.
Eve: Not only Henir, but I'm also detecting multiple unknown elements as well. They are not normal materials that can be found in Elrios.
Rena: meaning, this did not originate from here?
Raven: This isn't something we should take lightly. Let's take it back to Master Denif.
Rena: We keep finding weird stuff rather than the gateway... Sigh, are we even going to find the Sanctum today...?
Lu: Eh? Look, I feel something here. I sense it to be something special.
Ciel: Mm? ... This just looks like... a collapsed wall...? Hm, should I tell them just in case? Hey guys, will you take a look at this?
Elsword: What is it? Did you find something?
Rena: Whoa! It began to glow as Elsword got near!
Elesis: You're right! Elsword! Put your hand there
Elsword: Huh? ... Like this?
Chung: Wow, the light is getting immensely stronger!!
Elesis: ... Unbelievable... Something huge is soaring from the ground!
Ara: Is that... a gateway?! It must be the gateway to the Sanctum!
Rena: As expected, it reacted to Elsword's power!
Lu: That's a REALLY huge door.
Aisha: There is a seal on the door written in ancient writing. Not an issue, leave it to the genius magician, Aisha! Let's see. "Half the fruit. Who dare disturb the asleep? After countless years the power of life bears fruit. Both hope and despair gather."
Chung: Whoa, the door is open! You're amazing, Aisha!!
Aisha: Hehehehe, don't hold back, you can say more. It's nice to hear!
Elesis: Ahaha, seriously, you're amazing, Aisha!
Add: It's amazing that you were actually useful, what a surprise!
Ciel': Add... I don't think that's a compliment...
Raven: Alright, be careful everybody, we don't know what kind of danger lingers in the Sanctum.
Ain: Especially you, Elsword.
Elsword: Huh? Careful of what?
Ain: The stronger the power of El becomes, the stronger you'll be drawn to it. If you change in like usual no one will be able to help you. I don't want he same thing to happen again, Elsword.
Rena: That's right, Elsword. Don't push yourself too hard. Trust the people you're with.
Lu: You are one of the few humans that I've saved. Be honored and care for yourself.
Aisha: "Half the fruit slumbers beneath the protection of the Holy Dragon, when darkness fades, and light shines, the world will become one."
Aisha: It looks completely unsealed now. That was the last spell of the seal!
Raven: We made it here safely, thanks to you. Thank you, Aisha.
Aisha: Hehehe. No biggie! Anyways, it should be somewhere in here, right?
Raven: I guess so...
Add: Could it be... that stone sitting on top of the alter?
Eve: Strange, there isn't a strong El energy radiating from the stone.
Elsword: But don't yo think it's something important since it's on top of an alter?
Rena: Normally... However, it's the room itself that's radiating the strong El energy... What...? You mean this powerful El energy was used to seal away that tiny stone?
Ciel: We won't know for sure until we take it back.
A Mysterious Man (Hennon): Thank you for disabling the seal.
Chung: ...?! Who's there?
Lu: ...!! Everyone, be careful I can sense great power!
A Mysterious Man (Hennon): This is the fragment of the Primal El... I'll be taking this.
Aisha: This voice...! Now way, are you...!
Rena: Aisha, do you recognize the voice?!
Aisha: That is the person who stole the Ring of Mimir!!!
Rena: What?!
Elsword: That...!?
A Mysterious Man (Hennon): Well, well, well. If it isn't the junior magician who lost her little ring?
Aisha: You! Give me back the Ring of Mimir!
A Mysterious Man (Hennon): How foolish. It didn't even belong to you in the first place.
Aisha: But... the ring contains my magical power!
A Mysterious Man (Hennon): I'll use the power for something better. Thank you for your donation, keukeukeuk. I'll take my leave then.
Aisha: Wait! Stop right there!
Lu: Stop, look over there! Unknown figures in black clothing are approaching!
Ciel: They don't even have any weapons... They look harmless.
Lu: It's just hard to move because of the water. I'm not having trouble because I'm weaker than those vermin! Uuu...
Eve: I've never fought this type of monster before and it's making it hard to read their next move.
Ain: The monsters pouring out from the right. Let's keep moving.
Rena: This place is just full of water here... Is it because the Water Dragon was protecting this area?
Chung: Also, the sky is pitch black even though we are outside. Master Denif did say that it's beyond the outer barrier. Does that mean this is part of Henir?
Raven: Most likely.
Elesis: ... Strange...
Aisha: What is?
Elesis: There is now way an ordinary person would know about Henir's Time and Space.
Aisha: You're right... but those people transformed into monsters... Maybe they weren't human?
Eve: They were definitely human. However, I can't really explain how they turned into monsters using those orbs.
Ain: (Even if it's part of Henir's Time and Space, such objects that can change a human into a monster couldn't have just appeared out of thin air... There must be someone behind it all.)
Ciel: That's a dead end. The thief must be in there.
Lu: Argh... Be careful, everyone.... I feel an overwhelming demonic energy.
Ciel: Demonic energy? Does that mean the thief is a demon?
Lu: No, it's not the energy of a demon. If I'm right, this is something from deep down the demonic realm... How strange, how is a human able to have this kind of demonic energy...
Raven: ... If it's something even Lu can't identify... We'd better catch the thief and find out.
According to Solace, the culprit who is creating the Henir rifts is somewhere within the Elrianode City. The city will be taken over soon if you don't defeat them.
With the help of Rose, the El Search Party has found the entrance to the underground of the Elrian Palace. They enter inside to find the passage said to be connected to the core of Henir.
