 Aisha: Since Rena also got it, we can assume the curse also spread to people. If must have avoided Veiga. Veiga: Thankfully so. After sending Anduran to Sander, I chased the visitor on my own to the mountains.- Veiga: And there... I saw a horde of monsters that seemed to be of the same species from the visitor.
 Chung: Demons... Of course... They were waiting for the right moment to strike.- Veiga: I could not handle the numbers on my own and was immediately discovered, so I hurried over to Sander.
- Veiga: They are planning on reawakening the Behemoth and controlling it with the Priestess's power!
- Aisha: The Behemoth!
 Vapor: Are you certain?! Ara: Am I... The only one who's confused? What is a 'the Behemoth'?- Aisha: The Behemoth is a gigantic monster that ravaged the Sander lands around 200 years ago.
- Aisha: But I thought warriors appeared and defeated it. It was still alive?!
- Vapor: That's what everyone thinks. Truth is, the Behemoth is actually a holy beast.
 Rena: A holy beast? But why would a holy beast act so violently?- Vapor: We do not know. But it was corrupted, and went berserk one day. The Wind Priestess at the time sacrificed her life to seal it in Parugo mountain.
- Vapor: The Kaluso Tribe helped with sealing the Behemoth, and guarded Parugo mountains so it will not be revealed to outsiders.
- Veiga: Lady Vapor is correct. It is unknown why the holy beast, the Behemoth, was corrupted and was enraged.
- Veiga: But if the seal is broken, the tragedy that happened 200 years ago will happen again!
 Elsword: No... We can't let that happen... Raven: ... Elesis: This is such an epic scale... I don't even know where to start. Eve: I believe we should stop the monster that almost led Sander to extinction, or prevent it from waking all together. Add: That sounds ludicrous. It will be much easier to take care of demons.- Elsword: But we can't just let Sander suffer alone. Since it was sealed before, maybe we can do something similar this time?
- Add: Let me spell it out for you. There were two main factors that led to sealing the Behemoth. First, is the Wind Priestess, the principal agent that sealed the Behemoth.
- Add: Second, is the Kaluso Tribe. According to granny over there, they helped with the sealing, and maintained the seal.
- Ara: Currently, neither conditions are fulfilled. The Priestess is kidnapped, and there's trouble in Kaluso village.
- Elesis: We need to resolve both if we want to do anything with the Behemoth. I guess Kaluso village would be easier to take care of?
- Chung: If they aim to awaken the Behemoth, they must have taken the Priestess of Parugo mountains. How about we head there?
- Veiga: I'm sorry. Because I was found, I suspect they are guarding the place more heavily.
- Rena: If we go there when we don't have any information about the seal, we might put the Priestess in needless danger.
- Rena: They won't harm the Priestess as long as they have use for her. Or... perhaps this wishful thinking...
- Raven: We need to check what they are doing at Parugo mountains and confirm the safety of the Priestess, but having too many people raises the danger of being discovered.
- Elesis: How's this. Veiga, lead us to Kaluso village. Afterwards, one of us can accompany Veiga to Parugo mountains to keep a look out.
- Elesis: The rest, can take care of what's happening at the village and collect information about the Behemoth and the seal.
- Ara: Perhaps we need one more person for look out?
- Elesis: That might be one too many. Plus, I want as many of us as possible to go to Kaluso village. If they are still not back to their senses, we'll have no chance but to fight our way through.
- Elsword: I see. We have to hold back, because we're trying to get them back to their senses, not beat them up.
- Elesis: You got it! We need to make sure Aisha is well protected. She's the one capable of breaking the curse.
- Aisha: Hohoho! Hear that? You better worship the ground I walk on!
- Elsword: Alright! You're the greatest, happy now? I'll humor you since this is really important.
- Chung: Yes! Aisha, I will not let anything harm you.
- Eve: I will go with Veiga to Parugo mountains. Moby and Remy will also serve as my eyes.
  Moby & Remy: ~! ~!- Rena: We can always count on you, Eve. Then let's do this. Lady Vapor, please stop the search. We will go rescue the Priestess.
- Chung: ... Oh... If the Kaluso Tribe, Trocks, and Harpies are all under the curse...
- Chung: Would Emirate be alright?
- Aisha: Ahhhh! We completely forgot about him! What do we do?
- Rena: ... I take back what I said. The mercenaries and the volunteer guards should search for Emirae. We will check Kaluso village since we're headed that way.
