- Elsword: He... Stopped!
- Aisha: There's black smoke coming out of him!
- Lu: That would be the demonic energy he was surrounded with. It looks like it's burning away.
- Ara: I can't believe a human could handle that much demonic energy...
- Rena: Whoever he is, he's not an ordinary human.... Is that his true form?
- Raven: !... He collapsed.
- Elsword: Hey! Are you alright?
- Aisha: You dummy! Don't go charging ahead like that!!
- Ain: Elsword, wait. If you touch him like that..!
- PSSSS-
- Elsword: Agh!!
- Aisha: Elsword! Your hand...
- Elsword: ... He's burning hot. Is he ok?
- Add: It will be more surprising if he's fine after all that beating.
- Ventus: You're right! You were really relentless. I was shuddering from the viciousness of it all!
- Add: Wait, what?!
- Ara: Master Ventus?!
- Ventus: Phew, sorry I'm late. I did try my best to come here on time, but you know how it is! I thought I was going to die several times over! You sure know how to pick your adventures.
- Ventus: Oh no no, you don't want to touch him right now. You'll just get burnt again!
- Elsword: How did you get here? Wait... Do you know this guy?
- Ventus: Of course! We know each other very well!!
- ???: ... Shut up and help me up...
- Ventus: Yes, yes, whatever you say.
- Elsword: You're awake!! How are you? Are you okay?
- ???: ......
- Elsword: ?
- Rosso: ... Rosso.
- Elsword: Huh?
- Rosso: ... Since somebody persistently asked me my name...
- Rosso: My name is Rosso. And I am... What they call the Fire Master.
- Elsword: Whaaaaat?!
- Aisha: Fire Master?! I, uh, what are you doing in the Demon Realm?
- Raven: ... Now I see why Elsword and Ain thought this place was similar to Lanox.
- Elesis: So the energy from the golem and the scythe must have been the energy of the Fire El...! Why didn't we think of this before? It has such a distinct feeling.
- Add: What is the Fire Master doing here in the Demon Realm? Surrounded by demonic energy for that matter.
- Rosso: ... What makes you think I would answer your question?
- Add: What? You little...!
- Ventus: Now, now, I'm sure you're just dying to hear his answer, but as you can see, our friend over here is a little worse for wear. If it's alright with all of you, I'd like to take him to heal his injuries. You understand, don't you?
- Rena: (Ahaha... He just smoothly avoided having to answer Add's question...)
- Rena: Anyway, how did you end up all the way here, Master Ventus?
- Ventus: Oh, I almost forgot! Here you go, Rena.
- Rena: This is...?
- Ventus: Well, you need a way back to Elrios, don't you?
- Rena: Wait...!
- Eve: I can't believe we forgot something so essential...
- Elsword: Huh? Can't we just go back the way we came from?
- Eve: When we entered Henir's Realm, the masters and priestesses opened a way for us, but when we go back, we have no way to communicate we're just beyond the barrier.
- Ventus: Haha, that's why I brought this Wind Spirit Stone. I can roughly tell where you are as long as you hold onto it. If you make it just across the barrier beneath the El Tower, we'll open the path again.
- Chung: So you've come all the way here to give us this stone?
- Ventus: Well, yes. But it looks like I would be taking home something much bigger now.
- Ventus: My, just like the good old days. Has it been 2 years already? You look exactly the same as the last time I saw you!
- Rosso: ... You idiot. Of course it's been more than just 2 years. No sense of time what so ever. Ugh...
- Ventus: Hahaha! Who cares about the details! You should stop your nagging and rest. Now then, what do you want to do? Shall we go back together?
- Ara: Thanks you for the offer, but we have somewhere to go to learn about the location of the Dark El.
- Ventus: You've already found a lead? Ama-zing! Then I, with Rosso here, will be waiting for you at Elrianode. See you later!
- Rosso: You there,
- Elsword: Eh? M, me?
- Rosso: ... Be on your guard. The Master of the Crimson Eye must be lurking about.
- Ara: As they say, gone like the wind.
- Rena: Haha, as expected of the Wind Master.
- Elsword: Well, I'm sure Denif will be able to explain what happened when we go back.
- Lu: If everything's settled, let's go back to where the spirit is waiting for us.
- Chung: I hope he wasn't too startled with the tower collapsing all of a sudden.
- Lu: He should be grateful! After all, we not only solved the issue, but completely eliminated the source of the problem! Now, let's go.
