Elsword (Knight Emperor Path)

==Summary==
Elsword has always been a strong-willed Knight. He never gave up, always trying to become stronger. Improving his skills like never before, he began to create new ways of fighting with his sword with more speed. After being trained by the people of Elder, he became known as the mighty Sword Knight.
As soon as Elsword arrived in Velder, he began to train his swordsmanship skills once more. Being trained by Vanessa, Elsword grew stronger than ever before. Soon the other knights in Velder started to respect him, and he was appointed Lord Knight.
No longer obsessed with 'catching up with his sister', Elsword now walks his own path while shouldering everyone's expectations as the Knight of Elrios. Elsword never gave up, even in difficult situations, as he overcame many trials to become stronger. To be closer to his sister, Elsword became a Knight of Velder, eventually working up the ranks to become Lord Knight, the strongest of the knights. But he was discouraged when he met his sister again and realized that Elesis had also become stronger.
His lack of confidence influenced his decision to sacrifice himself in the end. However, when his friends did everything they could to save him, he realized the importance of friendship and decided to believe in himself, just like his friends believe in him. Elsword no longer chases the shadow of his sister but finds his own future to walk towards with everyone he cherishes.
"We will never lose, we'll just get back up every time!"
Elsword will now leave his own mark on history, forging a new path with his hands every step of the way.
