 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.
- Denif: 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.
- Denif: The Sanctum will be somewhere beyond the outside barrier of the Rift of Time and Space.
- Denif: 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.
- Denif: 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.
- Denif: Not only distorting the Time and Space but also showing a pattern of extinguishing living beings around it.
- Denif: ... I can't help but think there's something involved that wasn't there before...
- 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.
- Denif: 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.
- Denif: 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: Will we be able to 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.
- Denif: Even if you find the Sanctum, you won't be able to enter unless you can unseal it.
- Denif: Unfortunately, I'm not qualified to unseal it. Which means, you need to find someone who can do that for you...
- Denif: 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!
- Denif: I 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...)- Add: (Kuku, interesting how things work out. Together with Eve's Core, this could really work.)
- Add: (It's fare better than taking a risk extracting the energy from the El. Let's see how this goes, kukuku.)
 Rose: We're here. This is Elrianode, Zero. Zero: Some black things are juddering in the sky! Is that the fissure of Henir?!- Denif: Ah, you're back.
- Rose: Thanks to you, Master Denif.
- Denif: What a relief. So, he's your comrade... Zero?
- Zero: Huh?! This man... He's in my database. Denif, a Master of Elrian Kingdom!
- Rose: I know, Zero. Master Denif is the one that helped me save you.
- Zero: Damn it... I don't even know what the hell happened. So, for what it's worth, thanks...
- Rose: Master Denif, I saw the boy asleep in the Hall of El.
- Denif: The boy... You mean Elsword? Elsword was here just a moment ago.
- Rose: !! Then, the one that I saw wasn't him?
- Denif: If you were abe to still see Elsword even after he left, it may have been the afterimage of him left in El's memories.
- Rose: So it was... an afterimage... Where is the El Search Party now?
- Denif: Speaking of, I was going to ask you to go help the El Search Party.
- Denif: They are headed to the Sanctum, to find a sealed relic. Unfortunately, because the Sanctum is now part of Henir, I cannot figure out the current status of the Sanctum.
- Rose: Did you want me to support them since there may be trouble ahead?
- Denif: Yes, that's right.
- Rose: I'd be glad to. My mission is to investigate any unusual changes in Elrios, so I will aid the El Search Party while continuing my mission.
- Zero: Ugh... It sounds like a hassle.
- Rose: How many times do I have to tell you, Zero. We are here to complete our mission, not to have fun.
- Zero: Tsk... Fine, fine, we'll go.
- Denif: I appreciate it, I'll send you to the entrance of the Sanctum. The El Search Party may have already found the entrance. I sensed when it was being unsealed.
- Rose: We're ready.

- 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.
- Add: Even though it's sealed, there may be some identifiable marks on the ground. Let's me go take a look.
- Add: 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?- Ciel: 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 closer!
- Elesis: You're right! Elsword! Put your hand there!
- Elsword: Huh? ... Like this?
- Chung: Wow, the light is getting immensely stronger!!
- Rose: ... It looks like we missed them again, I don't see any traces of them near the entrance.
- Zero: Look over here, Rose.
- Rose: Hm... Is that a fragment of an orb...?
- Zero: Dangerous elements are being detected!
- Rose: We'll report this later to Master Denif. Let's go inside, Zero.
- Rose: ... I see a sign of battle.
- Zero: Arrgh, it's full of monsters. Did the Sanctum get swarmed by monsters?
- Rose: I sense something unusual from this area. Maybe because it's the realm of Henir?
- Zero: It could be, but just that alone won't be able to create monsters like these.
- Rose: You mean there could have been something else, Zero?
- Zero: Yes, I can sense traces of tinkering, like it was done on purpose.
- Rose: You mean someone may have been involved.
