With this information, Adol made plans to head to Celceta and help the country out, thus continuing his adventures. Before setting sail, Adol is greeted by Dogi who insists he go now as Lillia could give him a had time doing so.
After sailing to Promalock with Dr. Flair who lept onto the boat when it was about to leave in search of a special medical flower there, he meets up with an old friend remembers Bigsen and Norton saving Adol after he drifted ashore while in rough shape prior to Adol saving the world from Darm.

After riding a horse carriage, he learns of Five elemental swords prior to riding into Romun territory where he learns about monster attacks happening in Celceta. Not long after, he gets caught by Romun guards when he talked with them.
Prior to his pardon, he hears about the Eldeen and an ancient castle of gold. Adol also learns from Dr. Flair that the empire seek to conquer Celceta. After arming himself, he sets off to find the writer of the letter he found.
Upon reaching some ruins, Adol inspects a mural of five people and reads a message about the waters of Celceta turning to red then darkening and needing to call upon this several people.
Just then Adol witnesses a woman fending off several monsters, she realizes Adol was about to jump in an help and assures him she can handle herself, but appreciates the help. She introduces herself to be Karna of the Wind Village Komodo which is close by and there have been issues with villagers disappearing.
She was searching for her friend Lemnos who was the latest person to be missing and have not been able to find him.
She also explains that the ruins were of the ancient Celceta kingdom and the mural was of Lefance's five disciples and the big statues are of Lefance. She then asks Adol to see her at the village.
Once Adol heads west to the village, Karna there asks him to see the elder. When Adol shows him the letter he found in a bottle about Celceta being in danger and need of help, the elder, although unaware of who the sender was, acknoledges that all has not been well in the country and asks Karna to explain.
Karna reminds Adol about the vanishing people and states that the lake was turning blood red which she considers an omen like the words Lefance passed down. She also tells Adol that the Great Sage of Celceta is tending to Lefance's tomb and they must speak with him.
When Lemnos's dog ran towards the crater, Adol scouts ahead to try and find him. Another old man in the village also suspected someone was behind these disappearances and another person believing it has to do with the monsters.
After defeating a transformed Lemnos who got hurt when Adol defends himself. Karna arrives with help to get Lemnos, who returned to normal, medical treatment.
It has been also revealed that Gruda has been turning the missing people into the monsters that plagued Celceta at the Sacred Stormvale castle when the people started disappearing. Adol then gets the Eye of the Sun before parting ways with Karna.
When Adol travels to Highland, he finds that the people there were hostile and they are repulsed by swordsmen. When Adol finds Leeza and shows her the bottle, 
she is shocked to hear how the bottle got to Esteria, when Adol asks about where the Great Sage of Celceta is, Leeza tells him to cross the bridge to the Stormvale and venture through the mountain pass.
She then pleads with him not to venture too far before he leaves as it was very old and dangerous. When Adol ventures a significant portion into the Stormvale, a lightning strike burns several trees before sending him flying into the castle.
When Adol investigates, he overhears a meeting between Gruda and his cronies about Adol defeating Lemnos and using the Romuns to weaken the resolve of Komodo when Eldeel appears and blows down the wall Adol was hiding behind, leading to Gruda and his flunkies beating him within an inch of his life before leaving.
Leeza gets Adol to safety and after nursing him back to health, asks him not to enter the Stormvale castle again. When Adol asks who Eldeel was, Leeza does not talk and asks him to forget.
After Adol travels the forest again and traverses an ice cave, defeating an ice golem, he meets Gazok as he was investigating the Temple of the Earth, a ruin from Celceta's lost civilization. After Adol shows the Eye of the Earth from Karna, he learns Gazok once use to live in Komodo. Gazok also tells Adol what was written on the mural of Lefance's disciples was a warning to his people.
When Adol asks Gazok about the Great Sage, Gazok asks him use a pickaxe to head to the lake to witness the phenomenon where there have been cave-ins. While Gazok continues his investigations, he asks Adol to see his wife.
Adol witnesses the change in color and finds out Gazok's wife is ill and she asks him to get her husband. As Adol heads to get Gazok, he finds that the water was darkened and must hurry.
Adol heads back and learns that Gazok found the Eye of Earth, but Adol warns him about his wife's illness. Out of medicine, Gazok asks Adol to fetch the medicine from Selrei and gives him a bomb to blow up rubble on the right side of the temple.
At Selrei, Adol gets the medicine and takes it to Gazok so he can cure his wife, receiving the Eye of the Earth after she recovers. Gazok then asks Adol to go see the sage.
Back at Selrei, Dr. Flair greets Adol and reveals he helped Lemnos recover. He also takes Adol to the Elder's house so they can talk about the sage. When Adol explains he received the s.o.s. from Celceta, the elder asks Adol to find the Eye of the Moon which was later revealed to be in Esteria.
Flair also asks Adol to ride with Zem the fisherman to bring the Celceta Medicine to the victims of a demon attack that plagued Esteria when Gruda sent the Dark Knight to retrieve the Eye of the Moon. 
Adol manages to intervene in the Knight's invasion force, while having made sure to have delivered the medicine, and succeeds in putting down the Dark Knight himself, ending his attack on Esteria.
Adol continues his search for the Eye of the Moon where he finds it was in the hands of Lillia. When he heads to Lance Village, he finds out from her mother Banoa that her boarded a boat to Promalock on in the misguided attempt of bringing the Eye of the Moon to him.
Before seeking out Lillia, Adol gets his Wing back from Goban. The moment Adol reaches Komodo, Eldeel kidnaps Lillia and takes her to the Sacred Stormvale Castle as part of his plan to use her as a sacrifice.
Adol gives chase only to find the Romun Commander planning to exterminate Komodo if it does not surrender. When Adol intervenes, the commander retreats with his faction to the plaza in order to kill Adol and subsequently destroy Komodo.
However, Adol manages to manages to cut down the commander and his entire faction. Adol heads to Highland where he witnesses Karna push Leeza off her feet for being in the way of stopping the transformation of innocents into monsters at the Stormvale which had became a haven for evil.
After Adol explains to Leeza that he needs to save Lillia from being sacrificed, she offers no resistence and allows Adol to pass. As Adol infiltrates the castle, Karna's men hold back the monsters while Adol fights his way through.
Adol soon finds a mage in the process of turning an innocent into a monster and defeats the mage and his minions. Adol also finds several humans who have been turned into monsters.
When Adol reaches Leeza's cell, an unnamed Beast Master intervenes. Although Adol bests the knight, Bami knocks Adol out before he could save Lillia. When he wakes up, Lillia was taken somewhere else, but found the Eye of the Moon.
Karna reports that while the Castle has been taken, Eldeel and the Clan of Darkness were nowhere to be found. She then asks Adol to talk with Leeza who knew more than she let on while she tends to the wounded.
When Adol returns to Highland, the villagers apologize for how much they've wronged him and the elder explains to Adol that Leeza left after he entered the castle. He also explains Leeza had not been truthful with him at his first meeting and left out vital details.
The Elder realizes Adol might have been frustrated by Leeza not explaining what happened as the villagers wanted to make sure the Stormvale's hallowed grounds remained pure. She was assigned to look after Eldeel, revered as a god, before he turned evil and she sought outside help.
Adol also learns from Duren, his former cellmate, that the Great Sage has ties to Lefance. When Adol shows the elder of Selrei the Eyes, the latter escorts him to the Great Sage who explains how dangerous the ancient power of Celceta is to the world which might have what interested the Romuns.
The sage also explained to Adol that humanity was in war with the Eldeen when it turned out the latter planned to use the humans in Celceta for slaves and food. Then Lefance arrived with his five disciples to lead mankind to victory and captured the Eyes. The Eldeen's city was also sank with Lefance ordering the survivors of the Eldeen to live in the Stormvale with attendants.
Lefance also prepared a warning about the city's return when the lake turns blood red and darkens. The Sage then orders Adol to find the Hero Sword from the Mountain of Flame in order to see Lefance.
Before this, the sage tells Adol to see Gazok in order to see how he can proceed. When Adol shows the Eyes to Gazok and asks him about how to enter the Mountain of Flame, Gazok explains that it is on the opposite side to the Mountain of Ice.
After learning from Gazok's wife about a cave under a waterfall west of her family home, Adol heads there and navigates it to enter the inside of the Mountain of Flame. Adol fights his way through to get the Sleetwind Sword needed to create a path to reach the area where Lefance's sword rests, defeating several dragons that were in the way.
After getting the sword and showing it to the Sage, Adol summons the spirit of Lefance to get his help and learns the latter was why Leeza's letter was in Esteria. As the time to stop the ancient power of Celceta from destroying the world was coming close, Lefance sends Adol to get the Golden Pedestal from Pim and use it to break the ancient city's seal at an altar on top of the border pass.
Lefance then conveyed his power onto his old sword. After Adol breaks the seal on the city, he infiltrates it in order to try and save Lillia and the world. When Gadis tries to kill Adol on Gruda's orders, Adol was forced to fight and and kill him.
After further exploration, Lefance's disciples call Adol over to their statues and explain that Lefance's hero equipment is needed and the Mask of the Sun has been stolen, they empower the Hero Sword and send Adol to try and stop the sacrifice of Lillia.
When Adol reaches the sacrificial chamber, Bami makes him surrender the Eyes under the false promise of sparing Lillia from sacrifice. Fortunately, Leeza brings Adol Eldeel's necklace so he can revive her at the ressurection chamber.
After Adol revives Lillia, he tries to escort her to safety only for them top fall down a hole where Dogi manages to break them out or the cell and take over protecting protecting Leeza while Adol tires to stop Gruda and Eldeel.
When Karna and her men could not break open the gate to the Golden Shrine, Adol is ordered by Lefance to climb Iris Tower to find another way into the temple. While climbing the tower with a human-turned monster telling him to hit the switch that activates the mirror warps, Adol is confronted by Bami who offered to make him a monster loyal to Gruda. When Adol refused this, she tried to kill him, forcing Adol to fight back and kill her.
At the top of the tower, Adol meets Gazok and his wife where he learns that the Wing of Valor he obtained from a lower floor should enable him to fly down to the Golden Shrine. After Adol flies down, he confronts Gruda on the way to face Eldeel and learns the Clan of Darkness leader corrupted Eldeel and intended to use him as part of his plan to attain to attain the ancient power to rule the world.
After Adol calls him out for this along with causing pain to Leeza, turning people into monsters, and the lack of care on how many people die, Gruda tells Adol that Eldeel will be his puppet and will share none of the power with the Romun empire as everything will grovel at Gruda's feet.
When Adol swears to defeat him, Gruda reveals that the Black Pearl came from Celceta and that it's more powerful than Darm and that it will be his (Gruda's). Gruda then proceeds to try and kill Adol to prevent further interference, but even when he turned into a dragon, Adol still kills him in battle.
After the fight with Gruda, Lefance communicates with Adol and assures him that he can stand a chance against Eldeel with the Hero's Equipment while he aids him. After Adol reaches Eldeel, he was thought he was to late and Eldeel completed the ritual.
When Adol tries to talk him out of unleashing the power of the Black Pearl, Eldeel instead says the world belongs to the Eldeen. Lefance assures Adol that Eldeel does not have all the power before the fight.
When Adol could not scratch Eldeel, he puts Eldeel's necklace on him to try and stop Eldeel, but this does not stop the fight. When Adol cuts Eldeel's hit points to half way, the Eldeen summons the souls of Gruda and his two flunkies to turn them into his armor.
After Adol had to endure having to survive this phase, the spirits of Lefance's disciples arrive and destroy his armor in order for Adol to defeat him. After Adol manages to stop Eldeel, the hero sword shatters and Eldeel lays dying, expressing remorse for all the pain and suffering he caused when Gruda corrupted him and thanks Adol for not letting him die a monster.
When Leeza comes to the room, she wanted to stay with a dying Eldeel, but the Eldeen refuted her and asked her to restart her life without him, warping her along with Adol and his friends out of the city when it starts to collapse.
After the warping lands them back in Promalock, Duren greets them and wonders if there had been a wild goose chase, but is relieved everyone was okay with Leeza apologizing for the trouble she caused them.
Adol tells her to stop hanging her head and follow her own path. Dogi tells Leeza to be careful and may need to learn a few lessons from Lillia. Karna proceeds to make plans with Lemnos to rebuild Celceta as a great nation.
Dr. Flair arrives come with Adol, Lillia, and Dogi on Zem's boat so he does not become doctor fulltime in Promalock. Lillia asks Adol to come back to Lance Village if he gets that chance.
Dogi asks Adol not to stick around too much around Lillia too much or she might track him down, much to her annoyance.
After returning to Esteria, Adol and Dogi make plans for their next adventure when the latter asks Adol to keep in touch with Lillia as he might not want her to drag her to the wedding chapel.
