The Other World

The next day, Shailyn sets out for Acheron once again, this time hiding her true identity by adopting the new name of Mahogany, and settling in Arledge as a wandering painter. One day, while she was done painting in front of the town square, she went to a pub, where she met a man who was kind enough to introduce her paintings to a group of tourists from the Daystar Purgatory, and together, they all ate their food and got out of the pub.

Outside of the pub, Mahogany tells her new friend Rumo about the food she ate, and he wanted to go out with her if he wanted, when suddenly, a mysterious man shows up in front of them, as they were about to eat a snack. Turns out, the man was one of the three drug lords, along with his younger sister and older brother, who along with their group, were terrorizing a faraway village where their group are based and the entire village of Aberdeen, where the El Search group are based in.

The man asked Mahogany if she could be his girlfriend and help him out in his terror in Arledge, only for her to reject him accordingly, stating that she doesn't want to betray her new friends, but he refused to listen to her, which led to Rumo punching him in the face, telling him to leave her alone and if he doesn't, then he'll call the guards to take him away.

However, the man refused to listen to Rumo, and tried to stalk Mahogany, but thankfully her friends Elsword and Aisha saved her from him, calling the guards to take him away, in which the guards took the man away from the scene and threw him to prison. The scene switches to the two telling her if she was okay, and she said that she's okay, before finally revealing her true identity as Shailyn to them and their allies, while keeping her identity as Mahogany to the public.

The scene switches to a faraway village, where the man's two siblings being informed by an spy that their brother have been arrested and the brother said to his sister "Damn it! This couple... How dare they put our brother to jail just because he fell in love with our target!" in a foreign language, to which she replied "Let's teach them a lesson right away!" also in the same language as her brother.

The scene switches again to the duo trying to find their targets in Aberdeen, only for the sister to fall into their booby trap, in which she had her ankles tied by a rope and her brother tried to save her but it was no use, as their mutual friend Rena shot an arrow at him and kicked him in the face, throwing him to the ground. Elsword and Aisha thanked her for saving them from the drug lords, in which they cut the other half of the rope that trapped the sister, and Raven ties the two up next to each other, and the guards arrived, taking the two drug lords with them and throwing them to the same prison as their brother.

The scene switches to Fabian, Frostine and Fawn wandering around Arledge, when suddenly, they saw several hooded men, and the trio went to ask the villagers about what were these men doing, and one of the villagers, a female bartender, told them that these men were after Elsword, Aisha, Rena and their allies for putting their idols, who happens to be the the three drug lords that have been terrorizing Acheron, to prison.

Later that night, in Chung went outside of the house to open the mailbox, only to receive threatening letters from one of the men, and he went back to his house, in which he reads it to his allies, and this resulted in their horror. Shailyn tells her allies to run for their lives before these men catch and kill them before summoning a portal to her world.

As a result, the people in that house teleported to her world and were nowhere to be found. On the other hand, since their targets were gone, the hooded men decided to target Fabian, Frostine and Fawn, who were in Arledge, instead, resulting in a villager taking the trio away to their underground shelter, away from the men. The scene switches to Eve and Add communicating to each other near the beach in Aberdeen, with her saying to him "Who are these men who's after Elsword and our allies?" He replied, saying "I heard they were fans of the drug lords and wanted to get revenge on us." 

Lu walked into the scene, waving to them and saying "Hello Eve and Add!" before switching to Ciel and saying to them "I have some bad news for us." Eve got shocked and said "What?" He responded with "I've heard from a spy about why these men you were both talking about wanted to get revenge on us.", before switching back to Lu, who then told them "If they see us, let's go follow our allies to the other world!" Eve and Add got horrified at the same time, and they agreed to listen to her.

The three barged into where Shailyn was first discovered, and asked if she could teleport them to her world, in which she agreed to let them into her world. By the time they arrived into the world, Elsword wakes up, with Aisha, Rena, Raven, Ain, Lithia and the others following suit, upon her return. The group hugs Shailyn, along with Eve, Add, Lu and Ciel, before she walked to the center and said to everyone "Welcome to the other world of Philomena."

However, to no one's surprise, Fabian, Frostine and Fawn all appeared out of nowhere, falling down to the ground, through a mysterious void. Shailyn said to the people who were here before the trio arrived, "Wait, who are these people who came to Philomena without my permission?" Aisha responded to her "Oh, you mean that guy right over here? That's my husband and his sister's cousin Fabian and these are his friends Frostine and Fawn."

Back in Acheron, the hooded men were unable to find their targets, so they went to follow their idols at the prison they were being both held in a faraway land. On the other back, while in Philomena, Elsword and Aisha arrived in a small town, where they went to a library, and they made plans to return to Elrios from their adventures in the Daystar Purgatory, Nether Valley, Acheron and Philomena. By the time they got back from the library, they saw Chung helping Ara out after she fell to the ground while she was on her way to carry a collection of spears to the weapons seller in Acheron.

The two asked Chung and Ara if they could help them with the spears, in which they agreed to let them help. The four of them asked Shailyn if they could come back to Acheron to bring the spears, in which she refused to let them go, stating that the hooded men will be after them, but Chung said to her "Don't worry, I'll protect my friends so that we won't be killed.", only for her to reluctantly accept them to leave Philomena.

Back in Acheron, the four of them went to Aberdeen, where they went to the weapons shop and gave the collection of spears to the seller, who were very generous for their donations to his shop, and left, before teleporting back to Philomena.

Back in Philomena, a mysterious void appears behind Shailyn, and she tells everyone "Be careful everybody, I'll not be there to help you all guys, but run for your lives!" before gaining wings, flying away, while everyone but her fell off from the clouds, with Elsword managing to grab her wrist, saying to her "Shailyn, wait! Don't leave...!" She responded to him "Sorry, but it's too late now, . It's my choice to protect you all." before he let go of her, and she said to everyone "Thank you for everything, everyone.", right before she was nowhere to be found.

However, it turned out that the other world of Philomena wasn't Shailyn's actual world, but rather, the mysterious void that appeared behind her was her actual world, as she was destined to fight against the cult that has been invading her actual world instead. On the other hand, the people that lived in Philomena found themselves in the apple fields, back in the Daystar Purgatory.

Fabian wakes up, and said to Frostine and Fawn "This is how we started our journey to the Daystar Purgatory, right?" Fawn replied "Yeah, this is the fields where I met the El Master Ventus, and saw you and your cousin Elsword saving his companion Lincy from that Nightmarish Tree before, remember?" The trio talked about their experiences in the land, until suddenly, a mysterious portal to Elrios appeared out of nowhere.

Add and Eve saw the portal, and said to their allies "Someone summoned a portal and by doing so, they allowed us to go back home safely.", before Mania, the descendant of the queen regnant of the fallen kingdom of Acheron, Solveig and Astros, the female leaders of the Nether Valley and Daystar Purgatory respectively, appeared out of nowhere.

The three leaders said to everyone "Thank you for saving our land. As a result, we have summoned a portal to Elrios, so you guys can go back home and continue your adventures beyond our land. Feel free to leave, everyone." As a result, Elsword, Aisha, Rena and Raven told their allies "It's time for us to leave this land. Let's go back to our home." in which they all listened to the four, with Laby and Noah coming to the scene, and together, the El Search Party left the Daystar Purgatory for good.

Now back in Elrios, everyone were back to normal. In Ruben, the Tree of El was now restored to its former glory, and the village prospered, with Fabian, Frostine, Fawn, Seneca reuniting with Froid, while on the other hand, Elsword, Aisha and Rena took a break from their adventures to rest at a hot spring after a long journey in the lands of Acheron, Nether Valley and Daystar Purgatory.
