While on the road to the Temple of Frozen Water, the El Search Party hears the news that Chung's father had turned evil, and that Duke Rod Ross, together with the Dark Earl Ran, plans to steal the Water Seal to create the kind of great power never before seen in the continent. The army of Red Knights gets weaker as several of their members switch over to the demons' side. Elsword and the rest of the El explorers rescue the Water Princess from the evil Ran and save Hamel from ruin, once and for all.
Elsword:Well either way, we have to get to the Water Temple to find out about the Water Priestess, right?
Penensio:First, we need to investigate Magmanta's Cave.
Eve:Magmanta's Cave?
Penensio:The Water Temple is a secretive place, I've heard it is somehow connected to Magmanta's Cave.
Denka:I agree, inspect the cave closely and you might find something useful.
Elesis:I hope I don't get lost inside the cave, I'm not so good at directions.
Rena:I have a feeling the demons already took over that place too... But shall we go?
Ara:No matter, we have to deal with the demons in order to get to the Water Temple. I'm sure I'll also find my brother there...
Penensio:First, we need to investigate Magmanta's Cave. The Water Temple is a secretive place, I've heard it is somehow connected to Magmanta's Cave.
Denka:I agree, inspect the cave closely and you might find something useful.
Ara:I'm sure that place is also taken over by the demons. Right now, I can take one any demon!

Rena:I have a feeling the demons already took over that place too... But shall we go?
Elsword:Shrine... Shrine...
Chung:Elsword, what's up?
Elsword:Didn't somebody say that they need to go to the shrine?
Aisha:What? We're heading there.
Elsword:No, not us! I'm sure that... somebody said earlier... that they need to go to the shrine...
Rena:Wasn't it Chung?
Chung:N, no... I'm worried of course, but I've never said that.
Elsword:It's weird... I swear there was somebody...
Ain:(... It's useless. Elsword, you... you don't recognize me anymore. Nobody recognizes me. I.. am merely a ball of light... Elsword... you are no different than any other human. The energy that I felt... the natural El power... was I mistaken?)
Elsword:... In...
Aisha:In? What's that?
Elsword:Ain...?
Ain:(...!)
Elsword:Ain...?
Ain:El... sword?
Aisha:Ain, have you checked the shrine already?
Ain:Huh? Ah, I mean... yes...
Elsword:Why do you stammer, it's not like you, Ain. You're looking weird too...
Ain:(He... recognized... and called me... As he called me, my body... returned. Elsword... you are... definitely...) Elsword, together we can do many things.
Elsword:Demon Caves... Their attacks are insanely strong!
Penensio:As expected, their are a lot of demons here. Just shows how important this area is to them.
Penensio:Where exactly is the passage that leads to the Water Temple?
Denka:Recent rumors has it that this thing called 'Giant Hammer Barbosse' is blocking the bridge. Be careful.
Elesis:Barbosses...? Even the name sounds stupid.
Chung:We have to defeat him and cross the bridge. Then we will know if that path leads to the temple.
Raven:He uses a hammer as a weapon, we have to right carefully so we don't demolish the bridge.
Elsword:Alright! This path was the right way to the Water Temple!
Raven:Now to take care of the demons remaining inside the cave.
Denka:Good work! Find anything strange or out of the ordinary?
Penensio:I was just going to tell you. Please look at this charm for a moment.
Rena:Found it while dealing with the demons.
Denka:Hm? Let's see... What type of demon did you get this from?
Elsword:What was the name..? Shadow... Port Trickster?
Denka:I see. They were empowering their demon allies using this charm! Go take care of them first, hurry!
Penensio:As Master Denka said, inside the cave were demon shamans that were applying power through these charms.
Elesis:No matter how many times I've defeated them, they just kept coming back from this weird charm.
Penensio:I've deployed some of our Red Knights in the cave so the demons should not be able to use their charms.
Daisy:Mr. Penensio! Mr. Rod Ross would like to know how the battle with the demons is going?
Penensio:Understood. I've left some men in the cave so I'll let you know when they report back.
Penensio:Miss Daisy, there has been no message from the Red Knights. I'll go and investigate with the El Search Party, please tell Lord Rod Ross to hang on.
Daisy:Yes~ Please~ But please bring good new!
Denka:I heard from Daisy. Did you end up saving the Red Knights?
Penensio:I've found clues but couldn't find them. I've searched some of the cocoons left in the cave and found piece of their clothes.
Denka:Those spiders made a cocoon trapping the Red Knights?
Denka:If those spiders encased them in a web cocoon.. That's not good at all! Those Knights encased in the cocoon are probably still alive but those spiders can use them to feed their young at any time.
Eve:Those cocoon are for feeding their young ones and if we attack the cocoons the spiders will attack us.
Elesis:I can't let my Red Knights be sacrificed! Let's go!
Add:I'm twisted enough to watch them get eaten alive.
Penensio:The Red Knights are back safely, thank you!
Elesis:Phew, I wasn't too late.
Elsword:You are always scared, you kept getting my way when we were fighting.
Aisha:N... NO... I hate spiders!
Ara:The demons, they're endlessly pouring out.
Penensio:As expected, their are a lot of demons here. Just shows how important this area is to them.
Penensio:Where exactly is the passage that leads to the Water Temple?
Denka:Recent rumors has it that this thing called 'Giant Hammer Barbosse' is blocking the bridge. Be careful.
Ara:In order to cross the bridge and get to the Temple, we have to defeat him regardless.
Ara:As expected, it was the right path to the Temple! Now, we just have to take care of the demons inside the cave!
Denka:Good work! Find anything strange or out of the ordinary?
Penensio:I was just going to tell you. Please look at this charm for a moment.
Ara:I found this while taking care of the demons.
Denka:Hm? Let's see... What type of demon did you get this from?
Ara:It was the Shadow Port Trickster.
Denka:I see. They were empowering their demon allies using this charm! Go take care of them first, hurry!
Penensio:As Master Denka said, inside the cave were demon shamans that were applying power through these charms.
Ara:They mass produced these charms that constantly brought them back to life, no matter how many times I defeated them.
Penensio:I've deployed some of our Red Knights in the cave so the demons should not be able to use their charms.
Daisy:Mr. Penensio! Mr. Rod Ross would like to know how the battle with the demons is going?

Ara:To feed the babies... That's horrible. We can't let the Red Knights get eaten!
Penensio:The Red Knights are back safely, thank you!
Ara:I... I don't particularly like things that have more than 8 legs but I did my best.

Ain:Sorry, I didn't introduce myself earlier. I am Ain, a priest serving the Goddess.
Add:... Isn't there something you should be telling me?
Ain:You too have something to say to me... don't you Mr. Ancient?
Add:..! You... are not a normal human being.
Ain:The same applies to you too, doesn't it?
Add:What exactly are you supposed to be? Those guys didn't even remember you... You showed up out of nowhere and fit yourself in with people. As if you have known them all along.
Ain:... Let me make a suggestion.
Add:A suggestion?
Ain:I know that don't belong in this time dimension. You are probably from... a long time ago. I'm not sure how you did it, but it doesn't matter. I don't care what you are trying to do. And I'll never be interested. So why don't you do the same for me as well?
Add:So just shut up and mind my own business?
Ain:You catch on fast, Mr. Ancient.
Add:(What an obnoxious brat. Whatever... I really don't care what he does...) Good. Let's not mind each other's businesses. No matter what it's about.
Ain:(I'd better be more careful about what I do. I couldn't help it this time... but it would be trouble if it happens again.)

Penensio:The Red Knights are back safely, thank you!
Elesis:Phew, I wasn't too late.
Elsword:You are always scared, you kept getting my way when we were fighting.
We need to finish preparations to move towards the Water Temple. Let's defeat the giant spider, Magmanta inside the deep corners of Magmanta's Cave to find the entrance to the Temple!
Penensio:Miss Daisy, we've rescued the Red Knights. We haven't found it but there must be a passage through the Temple from the cave.
Daisy:Please hurry, Lord Rod Ross is anxious to hear the way to the Temple.
Chung:You don't care if any of the Knights survived?
Penensio:We have to find the passage to the Water Temple even without Lord Rod Ross's request. We will send another search party, so please be patient.
Penensio:Miss Daisy, is Lord Rod Ross here? We need reinforcements from Hamel to search for the Water Temp--..
Daisy:Mr. Penensio! Mr. Penensio! Mr. Rod Ross.. Mr. Rod Ross has..
Penensio:Calm down, Miss Daisy. What is wrong?
Daisy:Lord Rod Ross left saying he had to find something from the Water Temple.. but he hasn't returned yet, what do I do?
Elsword:Again?
Raven:Again..
Penensio:Again..? Sigh... Alright, we'll go search for him.
Penensio:Lord Rod Ross, why did you make your way there?
Rod Ross:Right? Sneeze! I think so too. If something were to happen to me, it would be a great loss for this country.
Eve:Maybe I shouldn't have helped.
Elesis:... I agree, to think that joker is the Lord of Hamel.
Daisy:Mr. Penensio! What do I do? Mr. Rod Ross has..
Rena:Again?
Elsword:Better not get lost again..
Daisy:That's not it! Mr. Rod Ross always wears the finest tailor made clothes and because he was at a frozen temple, his feet ended up with frostbite. He says it itches so much. Please get him a cure, I head Chilling Hedgehog's oil is really good for frostbites.
Elesis:Hey, you? Do you even know the situation right no---...~
Penensio:Understood. We have no choice, we'll look for a cure to frostbite.
Chung:Penensio?
Penensio:Miss Daisy, here's the Chilling Hedgehog oil that you requested. Can we talk to Lord Rod Ross?
Daisy:I can hand it over to him.. Here.
Penensio:That's fine, I need to brief on some things so I'll give it to him myself.
Daisy:...!

Penensio:That's fine, I need to brief on some things so I'll give it to him myself.
Rod Ross is looking for the 'Water Seal' inside the Water Temple... There seems to be a Giant Linker who is carrying around a similar symbol inside the Temple of Frozen Water. Let's head over there right now!
Penensio:But you have to tell us? Why did you go to the Water Temple? There are so many things that don't add up. You weren't actually kidnapped back in Resiam, were you? I've battled the mermen, there's no way those vicious mermen would have left you alone without harming you.
Eve:Scanning complete. I found no signs of frostbite on his feet.
Penensio:As you heard, now tell us the truth Lord Rod Ross. Why did you send us to Resiam and find the path to the Water Temple? And why did you personally go to Resiam and Water Temple?
Rod Ross:Mm... Water Seal.. I went to find the Water Seal. In order for me to search the area safely I needed someone to take care of the demons.
Penensio:Water Seal?
Rod Ross:E-Enough! Don't torture me any longer!
Daisy:Mr. Rod Ross? Where are you going? W-Wait.. I'll talk to you all later!
Penensio:I see... Water Seal, huh? We'll have to investigate along with the Water Priestess.
Penensio:You said it was a symbol of Hamel's Lord... Maybe...
Elsword:Hm? Who?
Penensio:Let's go ask.
Penensio:Horatio?
Horatio:Hm? Penensio, you again? What brings you here?
Penensio:Hm... Horatio, you used to be very close to the previous Lord of Hamel, Lord Rod Gess.. right?
Horatio:Lord Rod Gess? He was a great lord... He was never arrogant and always humble.
Penensio:Horatio, Lord Rod Ross seems to have found something called a Water Seal... But is hiding the details from us.
Horatio:Water Seal? Hmm, it's the sign of Lordship in Hamel.
Penensio:This is actually a secret... But Lord Rod Gess did not approve of Rod Ross so he even thought of not handing over the Water Seal to him.
Horatio:Lucy might have a better idea of the Water Seal than I do.
Penensio:Miss Lucy? That's unexpected.. Thank you, Horatio. We'll ask Miss Lucy about the Water Seal.
Penensio:Good afternoon, Miss Lucy.
Lucy:Look who it is, Penensio! What brings you here? Have business with me?
Raven:I was expecting an old sage inside a grand library.... But you're rather young.
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.
Penensio:Miss Lucy, do you happen to know anything about the Water Seal?
Elsword:Horatio said you knew more.
Lucy:Water Seal? There aren't many people in Hamel that know of its existence.
Penensio: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 World'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.
Penensio:This... might be related to why the demons invaded Hamel in the first place... We must go see Lord Rod Ross!
???
???

Rod Ross:Th--Thank you.. Now give me that...
Penensio:But you have to tell us? Why did you go to the Water Temple? There are so many things that don't add up. You weren't actually kidnapped back in Resiam, were you? I've battled the mermen, there's no way those vicious mermen would have left you alone without harming you.

Ain:The seal and the key... 'Giant El' must be the Large El. So then is the prophecy of the El hidden?)
Penensio:This... might be related to why the demons invaded Hamel in the first place... We must go see Lord Rod Ross!
Rod Ross says the Water Seal is somewhere inside the Water Temple. However, we didn't see anything inside the Temple of Frozen Water. Let's head to the Temple of Frozen Water and look for the Priest!
Penensio:Lord Rod Ross! You need to tell us about the Water Seal, now! We don't have much time!
Rod Ross:GASP
Rod Ross:That's right.. My father didn't trust me to be the Lord of Hamel so he never gave me the Water Seal. The Water Seal was to be kept safe by the Priest until the next Lord claimed it. But the Water Priest went missing after the demon invasion.
Elsword:That's why they search Resiam and the Water Temple to find the Water Seal.
Add:Kh... dirty bastard.
Elesis:First, we have to stop the Water Seal from falling into demon hands. Although, we might already be too late.
Rena:We can't let the demons have something that important. Let's get to the Water Temple!

Ain:(A mere human was looking after such an important things... I've got to hurry. I cannot miss out on any clues that could restore the Large El.)
Penensio:Master Denka, we fear that the Water Spirit Hagalaz is fighting alongside the demons.
Denka:Not only Hagalaz. Hamel's many spirits and creatures are under control by demons and rampaging.
Elsword:The Demon's specialty is mind control and necromancy, right?
Chung:Yes.. So this is how they slowly corrupt you. How scary.
Denka:Then why are you here to see me? Go and free those under the demon spell. Hurry!
Denka:Did you free Hagalaz.
Elsword:Denka! The Priest... The Priest was a Demon!
Denka:Eh?... What?
Eve:I definitely heard it. The Hagalaz that were protecting Avalanche called him 'Priest'.
Denka:Could it... be?
Denka:The Water Priest... became a Demon.
Chung:.. But.. Why?
Denka:Demons ambushed the Water Temple and fully corrupted the Priest and the spirits... Those who are fully corrupted can no longer be uncorrupted.
Chung:... Even my Father?
Aisha:... Ah..
Raven:.. Hmph.
Denka:Please go free the Priest's soul.
Avalanche:Kaaaaahhh! Gaaahhhh!
Elsword:We did it! We defeated Avalanche!
Chung:Please! Priest! Tell me about the Water Seal... What happened in Hamel?
Avalanche:That voice...? Are you the child of Sir Helputt?
Chung:Priest, are you awake?
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...
Elesis:...
Avalanche:One last thing. Don't trust Lord Rod Ross, he has made a deal with the Demon Commander Ran.
Ran:You are talking too much.
Chung:Y... You are?
Ran:I'll take this.
Elesis:The seal!
Ran:Avalanche had it? It was right under our nose all along. I had no use for Rod Ross anymore, you lot wait your turn and I'll kill you swiftly.
Elsword:Urg.. S--Stop..!
???
???
???
Denka:What's wrong this time?
Penensio:Master Denka, we fear that the Water Spirit Hagalaz is fighting alongside the demons.
Denka:Not only Hagalaz. Hamel's many spirits and creatures are under control by demons and rampaging.
Elsword:The Demon's specialty is mind control and necromancy, right?
Chung:Yes.. So this is how they slowly corrupt you. How scary.
Ain:I've seen them use this trick a couple times already.
Denka:Then why are you here to see me? Go and free those under the demon spell. Hurry!
Denka:Did you free Hagalaz.
Elsword:Denka! The Priest... The Priest was a Demon!
Denka:Eh?... What?
Eve:I definitely heard it. The Hagalaz that were protecting Avalanche called him 'Priest'.
Denka:Could it... be?
Ain:(Humans... have turned into demons? Demons shouldn't be able to... This isn't even possible.. even for an angel like me, but how... No, no. This isn't the time to think of such things. They said the priest had... the Water Seal. He sold his soul to the demons... it's possible he may have handed it over to them.)
Denka:The Water Priest... became a Demon.
Chung:.. But.. Why?
Denka:Demons ambushed the Water Temple and fully corrupted the Priest and the spirits... Those who are fully corrupted can no longer be uncorrupted.

Elsword:Urg.. S--Stop..!
Ain:Demons... and the Water Seal...! (It didn't seem like a regular soldier. Was it a commander?)
Chung's father, Helputt had turned wicked and Rod Ross had plotted with Ran to steal the Water Seal. Let's go to the Halls of Water to stop Ran from this madness!
Penensio:Lord Rod Ross, you've made a deal with the demons. You'll need to tell us why.
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..
Add:Probably after the prophecy kept by the Water Priestess.
Elsword:We have to stop Ran before he acquires the the prophecy of the World's Root.

Penensio:Lord Rod Ross! Lord Rod Ross!
Rod Ross:What's wrong? What about the Water Seal?
Penensio:Lord Rod Ross, you've made a deal with the demons. You'll need to tell us why.
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:Haha... ha...
Ain:(Nothing's new. The Lord of Elder and the Lord here... are very alike. Their filthy greed brought them to an end.)
Elesis:Ran got his hand on the water seal... What follows is obvious..
Add:Probably after the prophecy kept by the Water Priestess.
Elsword:We have to stop Ran before he acquires the the prophecy of the World's Root.
Penensio:What? So the Water Priestess Sasha was being held in the walls of the Hall of Water after all!
Aisha:She was inside that big dark sphere Ran created. We need to hurry.
Penensio:This is bad news, the Demon defenses are much too strong.
Elesis:Even with the Red Knights and the Hamel alliance... The demons are desperately trying to stop us.
Rena:I guess Ran is doing something crazy inside..?
Penensio:We can't stop here, we must break through their defenses and stop Ran!
Elsword:Demons are already enough.. but the Red Knights? Why did they attack us?
Penensio:The Red Knights? That's impossible, Red Knights would never surrender to demons.
Elesis:It's hard to believe... but I saw it too Penensio.
Penensio:The demons must be taking their forms, can you please investigate this?
Penensio:This... It's a different color but it's definitely the Red Knight's armor... How can this be?
Penensio:Maybe there's a secret to why their armor turned black.
Rena:Demons... Even in Feita and Velder, they took over others and made them into their army.
Chung:(.. Could it be? Just like my father?)
Penensio:First, I think we need Master Denka's help.
Denka:This Red Knight's black armor has a similar aura to Helputt's corrupt guardian stone.
Chung:Just like my father's armor turned black when he was corrupted... The Red Knights were the same?
Denka:There must be a place where they are corrupting the Red Knights within the Hall of Water.
Raven:We have to search the temple again, we can't have any more casualties.
Eve:Eliminated. Moby, Remy, return.
Add:(The most efficient attack with the least amount of energy... Kuahaha! Queen of Nasods... You're the best!)
Aisha:Hey, you! Why are you staring at Eve!
Add:... Kh.. Nothing.
Aisha:... I'm not scared... a little bit..
Elsword:They won't be able to turn people into Demons anymore.. What's this? A letter?
Chung:This letter... It's the symbol of the Seiker Family!
Penensio:What is it?
Chung:But it has nothing written on it... Nothing... What is this?
Penensio:Master Denka, we found this letter inside the Hall of Water.
Denka:This is...? A letter written with demon ink.
Elsword:Demonic Ink? Is that why I couldn't see anything?
Denka:There is a way to read this... That's right! I heard you could only read these with high ranked demon's eyes.
Penensio:Then we'd need the head of a demon. Let's hurry!
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.
Rena:Chung..
Chung:<Sob.. Sob> Father... Father!!
Add:.. Tsk.
Chung:How could this be...? My Father... Because of me? But... I've... I've only..
Denka:I understand how you feel but there's no time to be sad. Don't forget what Helputt requests of you..
Elesis:Yes, don't forget what he has fought for, Chung.
Penensio:My thoughts exactly. We need to find out what is happening in the Halls of Water.
Penensio:You found a secret passage inside the Halls of Water?
Aisha:Yeah, there was a path below the statue of a lady holding a water vase.
Denka:A Secret Entrance.. It must lead to the Altar of Water... I don't know what is happening but I have a feeling you should hurry.

Ain:If there's such a place, of course it should be destroyed. Leave it to me.
Eve:Eliminated. Moby, Remy, return.
Add:(The most efficient attack with the least amount of energy... Kuahaha! Queen of Nasods... You're the best!)
Aisha:Hey, you! Why are you staring at Eve!
Add:... Kh.. Nothing.
Aisha:... I'm not scared... a little bit..
Ain:I've been watching you, but you have not done anything Mr. Ancient.
Aisha:Mr. Ancient...?
Ain:Huh? Does it sound strange? I call him that because he seems a little old-fashioned. Look how he's dressed.
Aisha:It... it? Hmm...
Add:(Don't give me that. Why don't you go mind your own business?)
Ain:(Haha, I just helped you out as you seemed to be in trouble.)

Rena:Chung..

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...
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?

Elsword:Chung...
Ain:(... How can they accept so easily? Don't they understand this is the same person who caused problems in the first place? What an absurd idea! The families of those human beings have already turned into demons. Considering they did to Elrios... They deserve to die. Yet... they understand and accept anything. They even want to turn them back into 'humans'... I just do no understand. But... humans may be stronger than I thought.)
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...
Sasha:No.. First, I must stabilize the Water El.
Ain:(Now... I can read the memories of the El.)
Aren:K... ugh... Get... Get out... Get out of my body...!
Ran:It's no use... struggling. This body belongs to me.
Aren:No... No.... way... How could you.... do this...
Ran:Kugh...! Relax! Sit back and watch. Wasn't it you who called me? Isn't it because you need me?
Aren:I, I didn't... call you... I didn't want something like this... I...
Ran:It doesn't... matter! Whether you wanted it or not, your body is... quite useful.
Aren:N, no... Stop... Stop...! (... It's not something... I wanted... I'm sorry... Ara...)
Ain:(...? There's no more memories to read. Is it because the El's power hasn't been restored yet? I don't really need the memories of a demon army commander. No... It may be useful to that human.)
