According to Empyrean history, it is said that he along with the other members of the Four perished during the Machine Revolution.

Ash Core, the Flame Dragon
One of the three strongest dragons that protect their king Bakal's castle.
Ash Core commands the power of fire and is just as hot-tempered and fierce as the fire he controls.
He'd followed Bakal since he was a hatchling, and even joined him in the War of Dragons that occurred in Pandemonium.
Having grown up fighting, he doesn't think it's bad for the strong to bully or kill the weak.
For the same reason, he's also ready to die at the hands of someone stronger than him.— Source: DFU[1]
Story Excerpt:
화룡 애쉬코어 (Fire dragon, Ashcore)
- "죽고 싶지 않아...!"
약한 놈은 죽어야 한다.
- "사, 살려줘!"
약한 자신을 탓하며 사그라들거라.
수십의 천계인이 비명을 내지를 새도 없이 순식간에 재가 되어 사라졌다.
애쉬코어는 아직 꺼지지 않은 잔불을 바라보며 숨을 크게 들이마셨다.
피, 재, 흙먼지가 모두 뒤섞인 채 맴도는 옅은 비릿함.
냄새는 바람이 불자 불씨와 함께 빠르게 흩어졌다.그래. 이보다 더한 냄새를 질리도록 맡았던 기억이 난다.
애쉬코어는 새끼용 시절의 기억을 떠올렸다.
자신이 본 바칼은 모든 것을 찢어발기고 있었다.
건축물, 마계인, 심지어 같은 용족일지라도. 바칼은 말 그대로 눈앞의 모든 것을 깨부수고, 불태웠다.
누구라도 그의 비늘 끝 하나 건들 수 없었던 압도적인 모습...
그런 그를 동경했다. 애쉬코어는 그런 바칼의 강함을 동경했다.약한 놈이 죽는 건 당연하다. 강한 자만이 살아남을 수 있다.
바칼의 발자국을 따라 천계에 도달한 그는 자신의 지론을 실천하기 시작했다.
수많은 사람을 죽였다. 이유는 단 하나. 나약해서였다.
동족이라 할지라도 거슬리는 놈들은 모두 찢어버렸다. 역시 이유는 단 하나. 나약해서였다.그리고 강한 자만이 바칼 님의 곁에 당당히 설 수 있다.
지금, 자신의 강함이라면…
생각에 잠겼던 애쉬코어는 주먹을 까득, 소리가 날 정도로 쥐었다.
바칼 님의 눈에 들 수 있을까?
그의 그림자를 쫓아 힘만을 추구하며 달려왔지만, 알 수가 없는 노릇이었다.
- “정말 불쾌하기 짝이 없는 광경이로군요.”
- "기분 나쁜 놈이 왔군."
들려오는 목소리에 애쉬코어는 뒤도 돌아보지 않고 대꾸했다.
- “느마우그… 내 영역을 뻔뻔하게 침범해놓고 할 말은 아닌 거 같은데?”
- “이런, 이런. 전혀 악의는 없었습니다. 단지 전해드려야 할 말씀이 있어서.”
내용과는 다르게, 느마우그의 발언엔 기분이 나쁠 정도로 과한 감정이 담겨 있었다.
- “전할 말?”
- “바칼 님께서 저희를 호출하셨습니다.”
- “바칼 님께서?”
애쉬코어는 눈썹을 씰룩이며 황급히 뒤를 돌아봤다.
주변을 바라보며 혐오스럽다는 표정을 짓던 느마우그는 애쉬코어와 눈이 마주치자 애써 작위적인 미소를 지었다.
- “네. 저희에게 특별히 하실 말씀이 있다는군요.”
애쉬코어는 다시 한번 주먹을 쥐었다.
그러나 이전과는 다른 감정이었다.
터져 나오는 웃음을 참을 수가 없었다.
역시나... 바칼 님께선 나의 힘을 눈여겨 보시고 계셨다!
- “후후후… 빨리 가자고. 바칼 님을 기다리시게 만들 순 없지!”

Move Set
Phase 1
- Flame Zone: Ash Core's main pattern throughout the entire fight. Each time he uses any of his attacks, a patch of flames will always be created on the ground which not only inflicts a
Burn (Status) when stepping into them, but constant exposure actually lowers party members' burn resistance through a fire-styled marker that appears on screen which stacks up to five times in total. In other words; Ash Core has an advantage to deal amplfied burn damage.
- Fireball: He'll throw a single fireball projectile going forward. Around his Fierce Phase, he'll throw out two of them going in a separate Y and X-Axis directions.
- Rush Attack: Ash Core gets into a position, and try to target and rush at a random player's location. If he misses, this causes him to go airborne and slams the ground within that area. If someone is grabbed, he'll use an attack which functions similarly to the Berserker's
Bloodlust.
- Flame Branch: Ash Core stands still as he creates multiple flame trails of four directions around him that spread out like branches, twice in a row.
Phase 2
- Fire Road: Upon reaching Phase 2, occasional fire wave trails appears in the ground from left to right which are notified by the red arrow lines below.
- Ring of Fire: Ash Core begins to gather energy with a red circle beneath, hitting him during this pattern increases the circle's area range while he's continuing to power up. When the time gauge depletes, he'll create flames within that circle, and then delivers a roomwide-attack out of it.
- Rage Explosion: Similar to some of his other powering up AoE patterns, Ash Core gets into a position to gather energy for an attack. Hitting him increases the range for this pattern and once the timer gauge fills up, he'll cast a flame attack within that range, with meteors crashing downwards.
- Flame Circle: Ash Core dashes to the middle section and forms a circle around him, while two waves of flame pillars outside of it's range are going within a clockwise rotation. After the circle shrinks down twice, he'll turn the flames into meteorites.
- Extinguishing Breath: Ash Core dashes over to either the left or right side of the room's edge, as he prepares to deliver a AoE Fire Breath spread. During the charging up period, he is left wide open for party members to not only counter attack him, but this also reduces the pattern's attack range.
- Fireball Volley: At 80% of his HP, Ash Core absorbs the flames around him into energy, as he goes airborne and starts shooting down a volley of Fireballs at party members, and then tries to perform a strike down at someone's position.
Phase 3 (Fierce)
- Flame Explosion: Upon entering his last Phase, Ash Core gets into aerial stance and prepares for a room-wide blast as he lands downward. While he is casting the attack, a random player is given a fire ring around them, which functions like a safe-zone from the explosion. Those three players who didn't recieve a ring must stay within the marked player's position and stay out of Ash Core's range when he performs the pattern.
Strategy
- While Ash Core himself isn't a very difficult boss to face, micromanging his Flame Zone can be quite hectic, especially within his latter phases.
- Apart from his elemental weakness to
Water Element, he has a few abnormal weaknesses to 
Bleed (Status), 
Frozen (Status) and 
Confusion (Status). - For Flame Zone, there are several methods to extinguishing Ash Core's flames:
- A device that Commander Irine points out, allows you to generate a whirlwind by jumping and landing on the ground, being able to clear flames within it's range. This whirlwind can be much larger in size through longer air time if skills such as;
Leap, Female Spitfire's 
Nitro Motor, or Dragon Knight's 
Dragon Wing are used sparingly. - If you or any party members specialize in Water Element whether it'd be a enabled Cube Contract or
Jack Frost Flask, Irine points out that using a melee (X-String) attack can clear them out in one hit. - Incapacitating Ash Core through breaking the Neutralize Gauge or depleting his HP per phase instantly removes any of the flames he created.
