Hamel, the capital of the Senace Kingdom. Located in the southern Elrios Continent, Fluone, Hamel, known as the city of water is a partially submerged city.
Vanessa has sent us on a journey to Hamel to call the Red Knights for reinforcements back in Velder. However the situation in Hamel turns out to be equally as bad.
Due to the influence of the Dark, the city has been partially submerged and part of it is taken over by the forces of the dark. The area around the Capital, however, belongs to the rebels of the dark, hoping to fight back their nemesis and rebuild their city of Hamel.
Chapter 12: Hamel Fell into Darkness
Elsword and the gang deliver Vanessa's rescue letter to Penensio, the chief of the Red Knights in Hamel of the Senace Kingdom. They help the Red Knights drive the demons away, and while most of the Red Knights retreat, Penensio and his loyal comrades stay behind. Penensio and the El Search Party sense an ominous force emanating from the demons around Hamel, and so they begin their investigation.
Vanessa: Welcome, I have been waiting for you. Thanks to you we are able to make a temporary camp around here to recover our strengths.
Elsword: At least we solved the most urgent problem... But the Palace is still taken over by Demons.. We can't stop here.
Vanessa: In order to get our Castle back we need the strongest Knights in our Kingdom, the Red Knights. But the Red Knights are in Hamel to stop the demon invasion.
Elesis: The Red Knights should currently be under Penensio, did you ever ask for their aid?
Vanessa: We've sent word but there hasn't been any reply. Most likely the messenger was killed by the Demons.
Raven: The sea route to Hamel is probably taken over by the Demons.
Vanessa: We'll keep the demons from escaping Velder, could you go to Hamel and deliver this letter to the Red Knights?
Vanessa: Welcome, I have been waiting for you. Thanks to you we are able to make a temporary camp around here to recover our strengths.
Lu: Huhuhu... I was pretty good but Vanessa was the one responsible.
Ciel: It's unlike you to compliment someone.
Vanessa: In order to get our Castle back we need the strongest Knights in our Kingdom, the Red Knights. But the Red Knights are in Hamel to stop the demon invasion.
Ciel: It's a half assed victory... It can't be helped, they'll need aid.
Vanessa: We've sent word but there hasn't been any reply. Most likely the messenger was killed by the Demons.
Lu: Those bastards, so they've got the sea already?
Vanessa: We'll keep the demons from escaping Velder, could you go to Hamel and deliver this letter to the Red Knights?
Penensio: Captain Elesis?! Good to see you! Are you hurt?
Elesis: Penensio, good work but the situation's pretty grim.
Penensio: I see.. Velder was taken over by Demons... That's bad news.
Elesis: The demons really thought this one out. How's the situation here?
Penensio: Velder is in trouble but so it Hamel. Hamel's guards somehow stopped the first attack from Demons but ever since the disappearance of Helputt things have been taking a turn for the worst. With the Red Knight's help we've barely managed to turn the tide of battle.
Raven: If Hamel gets taken over, Velder might share the same fate as well.
Aisha: Hm? Is it that urgent?
Elesis: Raven's right. If Hamel were to fall right now, Vanessa and the alliance would fall under demons sandwiching them. Hm... At this rate, even retreat is not really an option.
Penensio: I see.. Velder was taken over by Demons... That's bad news.
Lu: I've somehow managed to defend the Palace but it's a slippery rope.
Penensio: Velder is in trouble but so it Hamel. Hamel's guards somehow stopped the first attack from Demons but ever since the disappearance of Helputt things have been taking a turn for the worst. With the Red Knight's help we've barely managed to turn the tide of battle.
Lu: Hmm, that's unfortunate...
Ciel: If the demons take over Hamel, then Velder will fall as well.
The Red Knights decided to retreat to Velder. However, Penensio the Squad Leader of the Red Knights, needs help in Hamel. He wants us to investigate Resiam Outskirts and destroy the demons!
Penensio: Retreat has been decided. Red Knights will split into two squads and send the first squad to Velder and the 2nd one will stay in Hamel to fight the demons before moving to Velder.
Elesis: I think this is best for now. Penensio, the situation's bad but send the 1st squad.
Penensio: Yes, Captain!
Eve: She's decisive.. Unlike her dumb brother.
Rena: If the demons realize that Red Knights are split up, they will focus their attack even more.
Elesis: Yes, and we stay behind in Hamel and participate in neutralizing the demons.
Penensio: Ohh, Captain! This brings back memories! I'll support you the best I can.
Eve: ...Another dummy.
Penensio: Could you check the Resiam Outskirts? It's near Hamel and it should be a prime location to check Demon activity.
Penensio: Retreat has been decided. Red Knights will split into two squads and send the first squad to Velder and the 2nd one will stay in Hamel to fight the demons before moving to Velder.
Lu: That might be for the better, but if they ever find that you've retreated, they won't just idly stand by.
Penensio: Could you check the Resiam Outskirts? It's near Hamel and it should be a prime location to check Demon activity.
Ciel: Lu, will you be alright?
Lu: Well, we have to know what they are up to anyways. Let's go.

The Guardian Stone is black and we need to investigate the stone by using a furnace. In order to do this, we need a fuel with a high energy. Let's go to Resiam Outskirts and collect the Shadow Crystal from Shadow Defender!
Horatio: The material is definitely similar to the Guardian Stone.. But it's darker in color and also radiating demonic energy.. Strange.
Elsword: Can't we just melt the gem to look inside?
Chung: But Seiker Family's guardian stone is made with Water El Shard.. It won't be easy to use it.
Horatio: Of course, the guardian stone can't be melted so easily.. But if you can raise the heat similar to molten lava.. Then it's not impossible. My furnace is hottest in all of Senace but it's still not enough. I need something that would spark my furnace to intense heat.
Aisha: I've seen a demon with intense fire spirit on the outskirts of Resiam.
Penensio: Are you talking about Shadow Defender? If it is their energy crystal, it might be possible.
Horatio: The material is definitely similar to the Guardian Stone.. But it's darker in color and also radiating demonic energy.. Strange.
Lu: What is it? We can just melt it and find out, no?
Ciel: The Guardian stone is a bit different from regular gems.
Horatio: Of course, the guardian stone can't be melted so easily.. But if you can raise the heat similar to molten lava.. Then it's not impossible. My furnace is hottest in all of Senace but it's still not enough. I need something that would spark my furnace to intense heat.
Ciel: Oh that... I remember seeing a demon with very strong demon spirit around Resiam Outskirts.
Penensio: Are you talking about Shadow Defender? If it is their energy crystal, it might be possible.

Penensio: Ahem.. So Lord Rod Ross went missing to meet the Water spirit? Not to inspect the area?
Rena: You went out inspecting for other reasons.
Eve: I can't tell who's more pathetic..
Daisy: That's not important! You must save Mr. Rod Ross! If he is gone.. Nothing matters. Not Hamel... and not Daisy..
Elesis: I'm sure he won't be much help.. But if the Lord of Hamel were to disappear right now it would be demoralizing for the soldiers here.
Penensio: Understood. Let's plan a rescue mission for Lord Rod Ross.
Daisy: What? The Water Spirits had these? Why...? Mr. Rod Ross, why would you give your attention to them instead of me..?

Ciel: Sigh... Then we have no choice but to find him.
Chung: Resiam is still submerged in water. Normally it should be visible by now.
Rena: Are you saying the water levels near Hamel are rising?
Penensio: I've heard similar but.. We would have to consult Denka, the town's alchemist.
Denka: Hmm.. Yes.. Yes.. I see...
Elsword: Don't just think about yourself! You have to tell us too!
Denka: I see two causes. One, the Water Priestess that would control the Water El has been missing.. Second, Ancient Waterway that controls Hamel's water levels is broken.
Chung: Ancient Waterway and the Water Priestess could be related to demons.
Denka: Right, they kidnap the Water Priestess and submerge Hamel in water to bring confusion.
Eve: Demons have been kidnapping Priestesses starting from Velder.. What are they planning?
Penensio: In order to restore the sea levels, we would have to investigate the ancient waterway.

Penensio: I've heard you're the most knowledgeable in all of Hamel regarding gems and accessories.
Lucy: Of course, I may not be the smartest person but I have the best knowledge in this field.
Horatio: Horatio says you knew more.
Lucy: Water Seal? There aren't many people in Hamel that know of its existence.
Horatio: Y.. You know?
Lucy: On the outside the Water Seal just looks like something that represents the ruler of Hamel... But in reality it is handed down to the ruler of Hamel to keep its secrets safe.
Elsword: Secret? That's why you didn't give it to a guy like Rod Ross!
Lucy: Rumor has it that the Water Priestess and the El Priestesses are protecting what's called the 'Prophecy of the Wold's Root'.
Aisha: World's Root..!
Rena: First seal of.. Prophecy of the World's root?
Lucy: Yes, Key would be an accurate description. The Water Seal is the key to unlocking the prophecy's first seal.

Elsword: That's why they search Resiam and the Water Temple to find the Water Seal.
Add: Kh... dirty bastard.

Avalanche: I... I see... You killed off my corrupted body and pulled my soul from the bottom of the abyss..? There's not much time.. I'll tell you everything before my soul disappears.. First..
Elsword: T.. This is the Water Seal?
Avalanche: When the demons invaded the Water Temple, they were after the Water Seal. I kept the Water Seal with my staff and removed my memories so my demonic self would not remember where I placed it.
Chung: Priest... you protected the Water Seal right to the end.
Avalanche: I'm glad the Water Seal did not fall into the demon's hands. I wasn't wrong... I will soon be punished for my sins...

Rod Ross: That... How?.. I'm the Lord of Hamel! How dare you?!
Penensio: Rod Ross, seems you are mistaking me for one of your Knights. As we speak my Red and Knights and Hamel's Soldiers are dying to the demons. Stop playing games and tell us the truth! You WILL tell us what kind of deal you've made with the demons!
Rod Ross: But... Ran said this would never happen...
Chung: Ran? Rod Ross... I won't forgive you!
Elsword: Chung.. Calm down! We have to hear the truth first, rage comes later!
Penensio: You've made a deal with the Demon Leader...? How could you...?
Rod Ross: I... I didn't know it would come to this. Ran only asked me a small favor...
Penensio: What.. Was it?
Rod Ross: Ran has asked me two things of me. Give something to Helputt and the Water Seal. Ran said if I were to do these two things for him, he would give me power fitting for the Lord of Hamel.
Rena: I knew it..
Rod Ross: I had bribed the Water Spirits with my accessory and looked all over Resiam and the temple to find the water seal... If I had found it by now I would be...! That's right... I wanted to prove my power to those who would laughed at me from behind my back!
Chung: <Huff Huff> How can you sell out your own country for a worthless reason like that?
Eve: The worst.
Chung: Because of you... Because of you... My father...!
Rod Ross: Haha... ha...
Elesis: Ran got his hand on the water seal... What follows is obvious..

We found a letter regarding the Symbols from Helputt! The Demon's Ink is written all over it. In order to read the letter we must go find some Secret Ink! Head over to the Halls of Water and gather Demon Ink from Shadow Port Voider.
Penensio: Master Denka! We brought you the head of a high ranked demon.
Denka: Give it here. I guess I'll have to use this language deciphering device again.. Let's see..
Aisha: Oh, here it comes.
Helputt: If this letter has been found it means my soul has already been corrupted by the demons... I wanted to protect Hamel at all cost but... Ran has made me choose... During the first demon invasion, Lord Rod Ross handed me my son's corrupted guardian stone and a letter. The blackened guardian stone meant they could corrupt my son at any time and the letter contained a time and place. I... had to go. Even as I wrote this letter.. I may never know if I made the right choice. But no matter how many times I think about it, I had to do what I could to save my son. The only way for me to save my son was to surrender myself over to the demons. Ran invaded the Water Temple in order to get the prophecy of the World's Root. That prophecy... was the the location of the El Lady and Ran was after her the whole time. If Ran were to get a hold of the El Lady's location I don't know what would happen. Please safe Hamel, the Water Priestess, and Elrios from Ran.
Penensio: Impossible... Sir Helputt..
Eve: The prophecy was the location of the El Lady... That's why Ran kidnapped the Water Priestess, he wanted that information.
Chung: You... What are you! Why are you protecting Ran! Are you dealing with the demons as well?!
Ara: I...
Elesis: So, you're telling me the demon Ran is your brother Aren. Who sacrificed himself for your family but came back as a demon?
Rena: I don't know what happened.. But we couldn't let her Brother die..
Ara: Yes, just give me another chance! I won't ask you to forget what my brother... Ran did... But if you just give me a chance I'll turn him back to his old self... Sob.. Sob
Aisha: ...
Chung: ... I know..
Ara: ... What?
Chung: I know the feeling of losing a family member to demons... I know... You want to turn them back.. Just a glimpse of hope haunts me..
Elsword: Chung...
Raven: We have no time, we have to rescue the Water Priestess before it's too late!
Sasha: I...?
Raven: Are you awake? Ran is already gone.
Sasha: You saved me... I'm ashamed to say I lost all hope.. <Sigh>
Elesis: Priestess, you shouldn't be moving right now...
Head over to Sander to meet with Priestess Anudran
Description
According to the Water Priestess, the demons want to find where the El Lady has been revived. The demons have been seen to be moving away from this continent. Not far away from Hamel lies Sander Village. There is a strong power of Wind El emanating form there. Go seek Sander Village's Chief and ask about the Wind Priestess.
Denka: Finally feels like Hamel is turning back to normal. Having a Priestess sure can work wonders.
Penensio: Priestess, what was the prophecy of the World's Root?
Sasha: The prophecy contained the location of the El Lady.. That is what Ran wanted to get from me..
Elsword: I knew it... The El Lady does exist... She wasn't just a myth!
Sasha: I haven't met her or her whereabouts but... The prophecy will become much clearer when all six priestesses gather.
Elesis: So, one prophecy is not enough...?
Eve: Then the demons must be after the other Priestesses as well.
Add: Velder's already too late.
Sasha: Yes.. The Earth Priestess and the demons are currently on their way to meet the other Priestesses. The closest Priestess to here is the Wind Priestess, just past the desert, I can feel her even from a distance..
Denka: Across the desert... So it's Sander.
Sasha: Please, save the Priestesses. We cannot let the demons have all of the prophecy.
Penensio: It seems like a temporary peace but our work here is done. We're going to finish up here and head back to Velder.
Elesis: I'll go to Sander with these guys. Penensio, I can leave the Red Knights to you, right?
Penensio: Haha, leave it to me! You like to wander around anyways, please be safe. You have the faith of the World on your shoulders.
