 Elsword: (... Wh- What did I just see...?)
- Elsword: ... This place is...
 Master Solace: ... Did you see everything?- Elsword: ... Yeah.
- Master Solace: I'll say no more. You know very well what happened after.
- Elsword: ... The El exploded, and the shattered pieces spread throughout the continent. Only Ruben's El Shard... and the six protected by the Masters and Priestesses survived..
 Hernia: (Ishmael... your power... I wasn't able to protect it!!)- Elsword: Kugh, another hallucination...
- Master Solace: ...
- Elsword: You... What exactly were you trying to do? What were yo trying to achieve by crossing over to this dimension?
- Master Solace: ... What did you feel after experiencing my memories?
- Elsword: That's...
- Master Solace: Hernia fell into hibernation from the shock of the El exploding.
- Master Solace: Hernia fell into hibernation from the shock of the El exploding.
- Master Solace: It wasn't her fault... but she blamed herself for not protecting the El...
- Master Solace: The El... Why must we depend on its existence?
- Master Solace: As I searched all over to find a place to conserve Hernia's body... eventually arriving in Elysion.
- Master Solace: How did we end up become so dependent of the El...?
- Elsword: We can't survive without the El!
- Elsword: That's why I want to find the El Lady and restore peace to this world.
- Elsword: We've come all this way to make that happen!
- Master Solace: No, that's not how it works.
- Master Solace: You should know by now. The reason I... why we had to do this.
- Master Solace: Hernia imprisoned herself with guilt after the Great Explosion. She won't wake up until the El is restored and this world returns to how it was..
- Master Solace: But if the El is restored, Hernia will resume being victim to the El as the El Lady.
- Master Solace: Elsword, do you think this is what I wanted? Even after seeing what happened?
- Elsword: Were you showing me all of this to educate me?
- Master Solace: Yes indeed, your existence is important. You hold the strength to change this world and build a new future.
- Elsword: What?
- Master Solace: I have no doubt that Elsword is the one who holds the strength to change the future of Elrios.
- Elsword: What... Are you talking about?
- Master Solace: A power that resonates with El... And the pure desire to restore the El.
- Master Solace: I've been watching you. Your existence touches the deep roots of the El.
- Elsword: It can't be... The visions Your existence touches the deep root of the El...
- Master Solace: Those visions that torment you are proof. Our beliefs you are the one that will change the world were not wrong.
- Elsword: It can't be... The visions I've been having... were being delivered by the El?
- Master Solace: Those visions that torment you are proof. Our beliefs that you are the one to change the world were not wrong.
- Elsword: No, it can't be... I have memories of my sister, friends, and everyone I've met until now. My memories with them are there.
- Elsword: Even if there's a part of me that I know nothing of... It doesn't mean I exist solely for the El!
- Master Solace: ...
- Elsword: I've walked this path with the help of others... for those who supported me... I promise to restore the El and bring peace to Elrios no matter what!
- Master Solace: ... It was expected that you wished to recover the El.
- Master Solace: But if the El is reconstructed through your unconditional desire, history will repeat itself.
- Elsword: ...
- Master Solace: The El Lady, Masters, Priestesses, and I have existed for the El. We do not wish for any more sacrifices.
- Master Solace: A world without one absolute El... That's the future I desire for Elrios, and for this I have prepared until now.
- Master Solace: All lifeforms are sharing the strength of the combined energy of Ruben's El Shard and the six elemental Els to live.
- Master Solace: With this we can create an Elrios which does not depend on the El.
- Elsword: That's foolish... I can't believe it! Elrios will collapse without the El...!
- Master Solace: ... If this is against your wishes, you can defeat me. You can restore the El as it existed in the past with the El Lady.
- Master Solace: But if you choose this path, sacrifices will be made. Starting with you sister... who is the successor...
- Elsword: ... Sis...!!
- Master Solace: Elsword... You must have felt something while fighting alongside your friends...
- Master Solace: You guys are strong and were able to withstand a demon army.
- Master Solace: But do you think you were able to win those battles due to strength alone?
- Master Solace: No... it was the result of all the people that helped you along the way.
- Master Solace: You can't change the world alone... To maintain the world and change it... you must be aware of all lifeforms that exist.
- Elsword: I already know that! I know what kinds of sacrifices it took to get here.
- Elsword: I'm only here because of all the sacrifices everyone had made... I don't want to put anyone through this again.
- Master Solace: ... Now, the time has come for the chosen one... the one who holds the world's fate in their hands... to decide.
- Master Solace: What path will you take to protect Elrios?
- Elsword: The path... to protect Elrios.
- Master Solace: Choose the future you desire, Elsword.
