Fishing King

As the group of five starts fishing, Fabian was secretly watching them behind the bushes, and wonders if he could fish along them, but Frostine told him to find another place other than the port, as it was already occupied, in which he listened to her and the two left the scene to go fishing somewhere else.

Back at the fishing port, Makutu managed to catch a large fish, and after a few hours of fishing, it was time for the fishermen to take a rest at a nearby beach, before going home. Upon arriving at the beach, while Elsword and Aisha were both building a sandcastle, they saw a fisherwoman named Rhea, looking at a group of three young boys abusing a turtle, whom she managed to save and let it go to swim in the ocean.

Upon seeing the scene, the former two continued to build their sandcastle and within a few minutes, it was done, and upon its completion, they left along with Rena, Ain and Makutu to their homes later that night. 2 days later, while Rhea was out fishing on a boat, a large turtle came out of the sea, to thank her for saving the turtle and tell her that she'll take her to an underwater palace.

Arriving at the palace, Rhea met the prince who thanked her for saving him and spent a few more days with him at the palace. When it was time for her to leave, she felt homesick and thought about her husband and their two daughters, and as a result, she bid farewell to the prince, who tried to dissuade her but eventually left her alone with a parting gift, whose lid shouldn't be opened.

Now back to the beach, Rhea realized that everything had changed, as her house and family were gone, and the people she knew were nowhere to be seen, and asks anyone if they know her, in which a man answered that he and the locals heard someone of that name had gone missing at sea years ago, to which she discovered that 3 years had passed since the day she left for the underwater palace.

Rhea opens the gift, and the mist appears from the box, turning her into an elderly woman. Turns out, it was a dream, as her husband and daughters were still alive and he had to carry her back to their house, which was nearby, followed by their daughters.

Meanwhile, by the time Elsword, Aisha, Rena and Ain made it back home, the house was clean, but Lithia was nowhere to be found, so Aisha tried to reach out to a nearby neighbor, who was a farmer, but he tells her that he has no idea of who she is, and she described the missing hostage to him. Eventually, he recognized what she was looking for, and noticed that someone abducted her while the four were away from home to go fishing and he tried to stop that person, but he was fast enough that even the neighbors couldn't catch him, and was extremely good at fishing, which the locals gave him the title of the "Fishing King".

While in the middle of a conversation, Elsword walks in to the scene, wondering about the whereabouts of the Fishing King1, when suddenly, Eve and Add both walked into the scene, dressed in black tuxedos and the former of the two tells everyone that she and her partner-in-crime have found the forest where the Fishing King was hiding and taking Lithia hostage, to everyone's horror.

Later, a seller, who was an expert in weapons, came out of his shop where he sells weapons and later reassured everyone, and tells them that he knows about the Fishing King, as he tells them that he was his regular customer, who came there to buy the weapons he was selling from a local blacksmith, and felt bad for the hostage and her allies, who were trying to find her.

He later tells her allies to be careful around the Fishing King, as he is known to be armed and equipped with fishing gear, whom he uses as a weapon. After telling them the dangers, the weapon seller gave Elsword a shield but he tells him that he already has a two-handed sword, and upon realizing his mistake, Makutu walked in the scene and he tells her to summon a magical shield on the person who he was trying to give a shield to, in which she agreed and summoned a magical shield in case, to which he thanked her for summoning a shield before she left.

Upon seeing that Makutu left, Rena later tells her allies "Let's make some plans to save Lithia from the Fishing King." Before starting her plans, she explained that the Fishing King was armed and equipped with fishing gear, and was accompanied by the fish he caught, to attack the people he doesn't like. Ain tells her "What should we do to gain the Fishing King's attention?" and then saw the legendary fisherman, who they met a few days ago, wandering with a bucket full of the fish he captured, and he told the two "This is a heads up that instead of defeating the Fishing King, someone must beat him at fishing and the others has to save your friend from him."

Upon hearing the words of the legendary fisherman, Elsword and Aisha chose to save the friend from the Fishing King, whereas Rena and Ain decided to challenge the Fishing King to beat him at fishing. Eventually, the plans were decided, and the next day, the group separated from each other to save her and went to different places. Arriving at a market, while hiding behind one of the stalls, the former two decided to dress up as one of Acheron's local deities, most notably the sea god Lamar and the fishing goddess Anemone to attract the attention of the Fishing King. 

By the time the two disguise masters got out of the stall, the Fishing King couldn't recognize them, and Aisha, while disguised as Anemone, tells him that there are two people behind him, and he looks behind, and saw Rena and Ain, who were also disguised, this time as one of the fishermen he beat at fishing before, who challenged him to a fishing duel, in which he agreed to challenge them, with Lamar and Anemone leaving the scene to explore the forest, and after defeating some slimes on the way, they found the shed where Lithia was being taken hostage.

However, to no surprise, the door was blocked by the sea monsters the Fishing King had summoned, including a Hydra. However, Lamar and Anemone managed to defeat the Hydra by cutting its heads and combining their fire abilities to burn its neck. After the Hydra was defeated, it wasn't the end for the two heroes, as Lithia managed to break the shed door, and thanked her friends for saving her, except that she didn't recognize them, as they were disguised as the deities she was unfamiliar with. The two disguise masters reveal themselves by removing their wig and fake eyes, with them reassuring her that they're her friends and hugging her.

After a while, the three stopped hugging each other and Elsword told her "Be careful, as the Fishing King might come back. Let's all run together, you, her and me." She carefully listened to him, and the three ran away from the forest before the Fishing King arrives.

On the other hand, Rena and Ain won against the Fishing King, and many of the local fishermen congratulated them on their victory, except for the man himself, who was jealous towards them, and Ain tried to calm him down by giving him some of the fishing bait so he can use it to continue his fishing skills, and the man slowly calmed down, with Elsword, Aisha and Lithia coming to the scene, to watch the story unfold.

After calming down, the Fishing King tells everyone the truth about what was going on with his life, and turns out, he was Rhea's long-lost younger brother Adair, and back in the past, he had a wife, who was a professional fisherman who used to live in the same town as him, and by the time they got married, she refused to clean the house and cook food for him, which resulted in their eventual divorce and in turn, he developed an interest for fishing and became the Fishing King.

Upon hearing the truth, Rhea and her husband felt pity for him and hugged him along with their daughters, and the husband told the five allies "You guys, it's best to leave my brother-in-law alone and move on from him." They left him alone, and moved on.

The group of four then arrived at an abandoned village, which was once home to a shrine that worshipped one of the ancient deities from another world. By the time they arrived there, there was yet an another Dark Elsword waiting for them along with Dark Aisha, Dark Rena and Dark Raven.

Raven walked in the scene, and he said to Ain "Wait, who brought these guys here?" The latter replied "I don't know, but I've heard from the villagers that there was a mage who wanted to get revenge on Frostine just because she was more skilled in magic than him, but upon realizing that she's no match for him, he decided to take revenge on us by summoning those dark clones to outsmart us."

However, the two of them saw Dark Aisha trying to attack Rena, Aisha and Lithia, in which the middle of the latter three defended herself and her allies from her dark clone's attacks by using an magical shield. Meanwhile, Elsword managed to defeat his dark clone and was fighting with Dark Raven, when suddenly, the latter pushed him to the ground and was about to stab him with his blade, when suddenly, he managed to kick him in the face and got up, pointing his sword at him, before tackling his shoulder and eventually just as Dark Raven was about to fight back, Elsword managed to defeat him.

Upon seeing the fight, Ain and Raven decided to intervene in the scene, where the four allies were dealing with Dark Aisha and Dark Rena, and thanks to their help, they successfully defeated the dark clones and gained access to the shrine in question. As they entered the shrine, they encountered the mage, who was responsible for summoning the dark clones, and he said to them "Who are you guys?! How dare you defeat the clones that I've summoned to protect my shrine?!" 

To his surprise, a priestess for the shrine appeared, and she told him "Dude, that's not your shrine. This shrine is meant to worship one of the ancient deities from another world that is different from ours." The mage refused to listen to her, until an priest came to her rescue by trying to resolve the conflict peacefully, but the mage himself became insane to the point he summoned the ancient deity himself, who initially saw the heroes as his enemy, before the two priests reassured him and he eventually calmed himself down.

The deity introduced himself as Crimson, who then told everyone that he lives in an another world and asks if they're interested in visiting his world, to which the group of six refused, and left the abandoned village to go back to where they left off in Acheron, and went to the beach, where Elsword was approached by a group of thieves, whose male leader told him that his group was asked to do a favor to attack him, to which he bowed down to him, out of respect, trying to calm down the situation, but the leader refused to listen to him. 

On the other hand, a woman can be seen hiding in a tree, talking to herself "Elsword, this is what you get for humiliating my lover at the shrine with your friends earlier!" The scene switches to the leader of the thieves trying to attack him, but in turn, he fought back and the leader tried to fight him back by trying to steal his sword, when Ain came to his ally's defense, protecting him and telling the leader "Hey, you thief! What are you doing with?", to which Elsword responded "Thank you Ain!"

The two of them were ready with their weapons, and the leader of the thieves told his group to attack the duo in turn, but they managed to defeat every single of them but the leader himself, who was stunned upon seeing them getting defeated and asked about who was the guy next to the target, to which Ain responded to him "I came here to be with the El Search Party, and I won't let you near him or my friends!"

While in the fishing boat at the sea near the beach, two local fishermen were gossiping about the strength and abilities of the characters involved in the fight, saying to themselves "We have no idea that these fishermen are strong." Back at the beach, the leader of the thieves said to the duo "Don't act cool here! I'm the strongest one here!", and in turn, the duo beat him up, knocking him to the ground.

By the end of their fight, Ain asked Elsword if he was okay and he said that he was okay, to which he hugged him and the mage's lover appeared behind them, saying to the former of the two men "Hey, why are you helping that guy?!" and he responded "Wait, are you that woman who wanted to kill my friend..." only to get interrupted by her, claiming that she was way better than him and tried to lure him into getting married with her, to which Elesis appeared out of nowhere, and said to her "No way!" and tells her not to come near her brother ever again, and in turn, the lover got scared of her and ran away from the scene.

At the end of the scene, Ain, along with Elesis, Aisha, Lithia and Raven, hugged their ally and the group went back to their house in Acheron, where they all had a great day and went to bed that night. 

The next day, Elsword went to buy a two-handed sword from the weapons seller, who he had seen the other day and by the time he got home, there was a mysterious person2, who appeared out of nowhere, sleeping in a bed. 

The mysterious person appears to have light purple hair, and pink eyes, and she comes from a different world from the Acheron, Nether Valley and Daystar Purgatory, and had nowhere else to go since there was a cult in her own world, and as such she settled in Acheron for help but nobody cared about her in that land as her reason why she came here to shelter in the first place. Aisha came to the room, and her husband told that there was a mysterious person in his room and he had no idea of who she was. 

The couple then discuss whenever to listen to her story and to help her out. As such, the three went to the living room, where they told her allies about an strange discovery, and everyone felt all bad for her, so they decided to let her into their house rent-free. Later that night, while looking at the starry sky in the rooftop, the mysterious person saw an mysterious void coming out of nowhere, and there was a huge bonfire in the plains. Next to it, was a group of five mysterious summoners, who were discussing plans to summon portals to an otherworldly world and destroy people's houses. 

Upon seeing these summoners, everyone in Acheron went to sleep and they continued their plans. The next day, a town meeting was held in Arledge after one of the summoners pretended to be Chung and defrauded an former nun out of gold. In the meeting, there were the mayor of Arledge, the head of the church, the group of summoners, the actual heroes' group, as well as the people of Arledge, in which the actual Chung testified that he didn't do nothing wrong, and nobody but his allies believed him.

The mayor of Arledge stood with him, and ordered the summoner who pretended to be the victim himself, and after hours of negotiations, the Chung impostor was arrested and sent to a prison, located far away from Arledge, to the victory of the people of Arledge and the allies that in the end, the latter held a party for him to calm him down.

Three days later, in the midst of a summer festival in the village of Aberdeen, near the same beach where the El Search group faced against a group of thieves earlier, the group of summoners appeared on a parade float, throwing fake bombs to the ground to everyone's horror that some of them all evacuated from the festival, except for remaining of the people and the El Search group, although without their mysterious ally of theirs, who also appeared on a parade float, and thus, the battle begins, with the applause of the remaining participants of the festival, including the head of the church of Arledge, who supported the latter group.

By the end of the fight, the festival organizers called it a day, and the festival was over, with the group of summoners being kicked out of the festival and permanently suspended from the festival. Later that night, outside of the house next to Makutu's house, the mysterious person decided to bid farewell to Elsword and Aisha, as well as their mutual friends Rena and Ain, in which she finally introduced herself as Shailyn, but the four of them never wanted her to leave, so she took them with her to her own world by using party balloons.

By the time they arrived to her world, Shailyn came to the castle's entrance gate and bid farewell to her new friends, before the group of four fell down from the entrance, falling through the sky, until Aisha used her staff to fly down, with Elsword riding on it alongside her, while on the hand, Ain and Rena flew down as well, and the four of them made it to where they left off in Acheron, and went back to the house, where they all discussed plans about reuniting with Shailyn by the time she finally returns to the land in question someday before going to sleep.
