[Machine Translation] The battle to determine the champion of the flying land ended in a bitter draw between the "Dragon King," the king of the Harpyrians, and the strongest flying ship in the west, the "Flying Dragon Battleship," who both inflicted fatal wounds on each other. In the aftermath of the battle, a greedy merchant is active in the flying land. When his evil hand reached the center of the earth, a pillar of light of doom was extended to the sky. An unprecedented earthquake struck the flying land. Whether you are a Westerner or a Harpyr, you cannot live without the support of the earth. All forces were caught up in the flow of the pillar of light. At the same time, Ernesti, who had taken over a flying dragon battleship on condition that it be repaired, was in a good mood and headed off to investigate the situation while turning the flying dragon around. As they approached the pillar of light, Ernesti and his team learned that it was the aether that had erupted. They learned the true nature of the ether that had been thought to have erupted.
