Quest Acceptance Dialogue
(...SLAM!) Champion: ROAAAR!! Eris: As expected! The victory goes to our one and only Champion! Spectator: YEAAAAH!!!! Ricardo: Boring. Ricardo: What fun is an easy win with no fight. Ikus: Still, a win is a win, Boss. Ricardo: A match should go back and forth like tug-of-war, and a champion should be scrawny and petite to have people underestimate them. Ricardo: That way, the hyenas can actually harbor the delusion of taking down the lion. Ricardo: But look at that. That size? Threatening. The muscle and weight packed beneath the tough skin? Deadly. Who would want to challenge that? Ricardo: It's an absolute bore. I'm not going to place my bets on this one. Eris: Next! No other challengers? Ricardo: I don't think there will be any. Get the Champion out of there and bring out the scrubs. Ricardo: They're equally boring, but at least they put on a show with their desperate act. Ricardo: Now what to do with the losers... Shame the Abyss has been closed. Hm... Ricardo: Oh yeah. Tell them, the losers are going to be thrown over the Steel Wall. That should make the show more entertaining. Elsword: ... I thought it was getting noisy, but what's all this? Rena: Fresh air! Finally! Noah: What's happening at the front? I thought I heard cheers! Clamor: Whoa, there's so many demons I've never seen before! Ain: It seems all of Magmelia's guests came here. That means, this is... Raven: ... The Arena. Ricardo: Ohh!? Look who's here! You're finally here, my guests! Ricardo: Ey! Up here! Good to finally see you in the flesh my guy! Raven: ....... Laby: Is that the guy Raven mentioned? Ricardo: Yeah! I'm the big bad boss of Torta! Aisha: We finally see face to face, you stalker! Ricardo: Huh? Stalker? Elsword: Yeah. Don't come barging in other people's dreams and say whatever you want! It's annoying! Ara: That's right! And please open the path to the Land of Steel! Ricardo: I like how lively you all are. Finally! A good show! Hahaha... Ricardo: Ey! A new challenger. Get them on the elevator! Ikus: Yes Boss! Will you place the same bets? Ricardo: Are you kidding? The party's just getting started. I'm placing all my winnings on these ones! (MUMBLE MUMBLE) Spectator A: Placing bets on the challengers? This isn't rigged, is it? Spectator B: You obviously don't know Ricardo. He doesn't care about losing as long as it's entertaining. Spectator C: Did you hear? Those challengers came through the sewers! Spectator C: They defeated Torta's beasts. They can't be half-bad if they managed such a feat. (YEEAAAAHH!)
Quest Completion Dialogue
Add: Why are there so many spectators? Move! Get out of my way! Add: There's no other way up... I'll have to look around more to be certain, but if there isn't, the only way up is through the elevator... Damn it. Aisha: Add, slow down! Add: Maybe you should hurry up. Elsword: Pant, pant, at least tell us why you're in such a rush! Add: Can you even understand if I explain? Add: Tsk... The code I put in the device is Nasod Ruler code. It's not a code for Nasods. Now, the only one with the code is me. Add: The code was ideal as a dummy to use for basic troubleshooting, since it's not supposed to react to anything. Elsword: Ah... ok? Add: But it wasn't a malfunction! It caught a signal! For a code that shouldn't exist! Add: Damn it, see? Why ask if you're not even going to understand half of what I say! Elsword: My bad, my bad! We should still know what's going on. Anyway, so you want to check because you found something that shouldn't be there? Add: I NEED to check! Aisha: Let's look if there's a way up together. Together, since it'll be hard to find each other if we get separated, alright? Add: Fine. Damn it... Add: (At least the signal is not moving. Or maybe it's reacting to something similar...) Add: (Sigh... Alright. Maybe there's no reason for me to overreact.) Add: (But.... What if... What if there is...?)

An introduction that grips the attention of the crowd comes out of the amplifier and speakers, reverberating throughout the arena.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Eris: Hunters, Adventurers, Thugs, and Spectators! We're now at round 4 and new challengers are joining the fight! Eris: They are up and coming fighters that even caught the eyes of our Boss! Rumor has it they have something to do with the recent Abyss...! Believe it or not! Chung: Ugh... Are we really doing the right thing? Eve: I believe Eris gave us sound advice. A 1 on 1 is much more advantageous for us than an all out war with Tortas. Chung: True... But being a spectacle seems to put Lu on edge. Maybe we should have stopped her. Spectator A: Come on! Show us a proper fight! Show them that size doesn't matter, kid! Lu: Who are you calling kid! Do you know who you're talking to? Ricardo: Hm? And who might you be? Lu: I am the Steel Queen, the true ruler of the Steel Throne! So stop this foolery at once and open the path to the Land of Steel! Ricardo: What?! The Steel Queen?! Forgive me, your highness! Ricardo: How could I fail to recognize the Steel Queen... Men! What are you waiting for! Show her the way! Lu: Huhu, at least words still go through that thick skull of yours. Ricardo: ... As if I'd say that. Lu: Huh?! Ricardo: Ah, I'm sick of it! If I had gold for every instance someone claimed they're the Steel Queen, I'd be as rich as the Queen of Gold! Ricardo: The first few, I took them to the wall, but they were all fake! All enticed by promise of the bounty... Ricardo: My brothers! Next time someone claims they're the Steel Queen, beat them up and kick them to the curb! Lu: I, I, I... I won't stand for this offense! I am the true Steel Queen! Ricardo: Yeah, yeah. Take her away and send for the next one. Lu: How dare you! Insolent fool! I won't let you get away with this insult! Rose: ... There must have been a lot of demons who impersonated Lu. Ara: Since Torta's territory is at the border... All those impersonators must have passed through here. Ciel: Then there must be something that can distinguish the true Steel Queen from the fakes near the border. That's useful information. Ciel: (But a wall? I don't remember Lu mentioning one...) Ricardo: I'm done waiting! Bring him in! Let them face the Champion! Raven: ....... Ricardo: Come on... Hurry up and show me! (STOMP, STOMP!) Champion: GRRRR.... Rena: Let's go, Raven! Win and take him down a notch!
Quest Completion Dialogue
(...CRASH!) Eris: Unbelievable... The challenger takes down the Champion! What an amazing feat by the challenger! Rose: Phew, what a relief! Rena: Of course he wins! It's Raven, after all! Ikus: Boss! He's stronger than he looks. For the Champion to go down like that! Ricardo: Of course! I'm the one who picked him, and I'm never wrong. Ikus: It's not something to celebrate, Boss! We don't have anyone to send out! Shall we close doors for today? Ricardo: We can't end the party now. I picked him out, but I know his entourage ain't half bad either. Ricardo: Let's make them fight each other. Oh, it won't do if they get hurt themselves, so make sure to stop them before it gets too heated.

When the champion goes down, Ricardo push for the El Search Party to fight each other. Ciel offer himself to fight against Raven.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Ara: ... What? A fight amongst us?! Elesis: That's no good. I don't think Raven will come down before he gets to fight the King. Ciel: The Champion match did end faster than expected. I'll go. It won't require much if all they need is a time killer. Rose: Will it be alright? Ciel: It's fine. We'll just pretend to fight each other and give everyone a good show. Can you ask around and learn more about the Great Steel Wall in the meantime? Chung: Will do. Raven: What are you doing here? Ciel: They told us to fight. Raven: They're making us a spectacle. Ciel: What can you do. Can't exactly refuse and bring the mood down. Ciel: Your goal is the King anyway. Let's give them what they want for now and see where it takes us. Raven: Tsk, I thought he'd be itching to move by now. Raven: (... I'll have to rile him up then.) (CLANG!) Ciel: A rigged match is nothing to scoff at. My wrists are hurting already. Raven: Ha, I'm sure you'll live. Ciel: I didn’t think I'd ever get to fight you. Raven: Hm? Did you know me before we met? Ciel: I wouldn't say I knew you. I just heard a few things whispered in the back alley. Ciel: A place where people namedrop renowned fighters claiming they can do better. Raven: And they mentioned my name? That's unexpected. I didn't know I was known all the way in Fluone. Ciel: It was when the Black Mercenaries were starting to make a name for themselves. That's how many people first become known. Ciel: I also received a lot of questions, as I was also considered up and coming back then. Ciel: Can you win against the captain of the Black Mercenaries? That sort of thing. It's pretty childish. (CLANG!) Raven: Ha... And what did you say? Ciel: I just showed them three fingers. Raven: Meaning? Ciel: That I only need 3 minutes. Raven: Oh? ... You thought it would only take 3 minutes? Ciel: I'm an assassin. There's no need to fight fair and square. Ciel: All I need is 3 minutes to place poison on the drinking glass or utensils when the other lowers their guard. Raven: Ah, that's reasonable. (CL-ANG!!) Ciel: Ugh? Raven: Then... How many minutes if you face me directly? Ciel: Ha? Ciel: Hm... Let me think. Ciel: 30 minutes... Should be enough. Raven: Interesting. Let's see if you're right. (SLASH!!) Elesis: Oh. What's going on? Are they fighting for real? Spectator A: Oh! It's finally getting interesting! Rena: Wha, what? What are those idiots doing!
Quest Completion Dialogue
(CRASH! ... CLANG!) Ciel: Ugh.... Raven: Hm.... Ciel: My mistake. I overshot my capabilities. I'm not sure I'd even last 30 minutes. Raven: Yeah? I thought the time was very accurate. Ciel: You flatter me. Ciel: We were planning on taking this lightly, but now I'm getting curious. How about we take this to the end? Raven: We probably won't get an opportunity like this again. Ciel: Let's see once and for all who's stronger so we have no regrets. Ciel: Alright. Lu: Wh, what are you doing! Ciel: Huh? Lu? We're dueling.... Lu: What are you thinking, playing into their games! Shouldn't you be conserving your strength? Ciel: Wait, but... Lu, you're also... Lu: Stop at once and come down! Ciel: Oh, alright... Lu: You too, Raven. You're both grown men. This is no time to act childish. Spectator: (BOO!!) Spectator B: Spoilsport! Get lost! It was just getting interesting! Spectator C: The fake queen entered the field! It's a three-way fight! Lu: Who! Called me a fake!! Spectator: (HAHAHAHA) Raven: (Hm... Maybe I took it too far. Probably best to end it now.) Raven: (The main fight has yet to begin.) Ricardo: Ku, Kuhuhuhu... Now this is what I call masterpiece.

Description
The fight ended due to Lu's intervention, but it seems Ricardo is satisfied enough. Ricardo's voice from the mike is full of exhilaration.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Raven: And? What are your thoughts? Ricardo: Exactly what I've hoped for. Nice... Very nice... Ricardo: The body full of scars, the terrifying machine arm, the vicious drive displayed in the way you throw your entire body into a fight regardless of the dangers presented! Ricardo: A seasoned fighter whose whole body can be considered a weapon. Hahaha! You're the culmination of my ideal warrior and hero. Raven: You have strange taste. Since I've met your expectation, do you mind giving me some answers? Ricardo: Ah. Sure, go on. What do you want to know? Raven: You used dream walking to spy on us for a while. I want to comment on the method, but we'll skip it for now... Raven: You didn't just call us over for this joke of a business... What is the Wall? Ricardo: Kuhuhu... Thanks for asking. I wanted to tell you anyway. Where should I start... Ricardo: Ey, Spectators! Are you enjoying the Arena? (YEAAAAH!!) Ricardo: Too bad. What you're feeling is all fake. Ricardo: Watching matches from a safe place talking about danger and thrill... Are you serious? You're all pathetic! Aisha: Yikes, the spectators are stirring. Add: A total killjoy. What is he getting at? Ricardo: If you're in denial, let me tell you. We had a goal. A goal that was put aside when too many of our brethren were lost. Ricardo: But now that goal is back with the closing of the Abyss! A path unimaginable for those satisfied with these silly games is just beyond the other side. Ricardo: Understand? A true challenge where you cannot predict the victor, a hunting ground full of dangers is right around the corner! Laby: Where? Where is he talking about? Ain: Who knows what he's pointing from the underground... Ricardo: I will remind our goals to the lucky people presented here today. Ricardo: Torta will conquer the Land of Steel, the Land of Demise! Ciel: What?! Lu: WHAT?! Ricardo: And we will do that with these brave warriors! Ciel: Ha, haha. How about it, Lu? They want to conquer your land together. What do you think? Lu: Hmph! I can't even find the words to describe how ridiculous it is. How dare he covet my land, insolent fool... Raven: Why are you trying to conquer the Land of Steel? Are you also after the treasure that's said to be there? Ricardo: Who cares about gold that only weighs down your body! You didn't jump into the Abyss looking for treasure. Ricardo: When you see a mountain, you climb it. When you see an enemy, you fight it. When you see danger, you jump towards it! That's all there is to it. Ain: ... He's acting like we're friends. Mr. Half-Nasod didn't seem too happy about meeting him in dreams. Ain: Still, we can use his one-sided familiarity to our advantage. Maybe he'll be much more willing to answer our questions. Raven: I heard Dream Demons are not as affected by the plague. Raven: I imagine the dangers of the Land of Steel you speak of have nothing to do with the Contamination... What dangers are you talking about? Ricardo: You're pretty sharp. You're right. There are dangers beyond your imagination dwelling in those lands... Ricardo: But that's all you get for now! If you want to learn more, you have to accept my offer. Raven: I'll ask another question. What will you do if I refuse your offer? Ricardo: Unfortunately that will mean the end of our acquaintance. You'll have to leave Torta immediately. Ricardo: Though let me tell you one thing. If you refuse my offer, you will never be able to reach the Land of Steel. Raven: Are you going to stop us? Ricardo: Nope. There's no need. Ara: That's unexpected. I thought they'd force our stay like the other Dream Demons. Eve: Either he's lying or has done something. Or maybe it's that difficult to get to the Land of Steel. I wonder which it is... Raven: I see. So our options are either to accept the offer, or to leave. Noah: The offer must be to join them as Dream Demons. Chung: Then it's decided. We refuse and look for another way to the Land of Steel. I'm sure we can find a way. Raven: ... Neither options are acceptable. Why don't I make a suggestion? Come down to the Arena. Ricardo: ... Ha? You talking to me? Raven: Yes. You may be satisfied with our performance, but I'm not. Raven: Shouldn't I be able to test if you're all talk, or actually strong enough to lead us? (CLING!) Raven: Draw your weapon, King of Torta! I challenge you to a duel!
Quest Completion Dialogue
Eve: So this is how it goes. Can't say I didn't see it coming. Rena: I'm a bit worried for Raven. We fought with beasts on the way here, and then he fought with Ciel. He must be exhausted. Wouldn't he be at a disadvantage? Ciel: Mm... I couldn't help it. The fight got too heated. Rena: Then maybe you should have cooled your head! Ricardo: A duel with me? Hahaha! That sounds interesting! Fine, I accept! Any other conditions? Raven: If I win, you have to open the way to the Land of Steel. Ricardo: Then what will you give me if you lose? Raven: (Eri said he might even accept the short end of the stick as long as he's entertained. Then, let's see...) Raven: ... I will seriously consider your offer. Ricardo: Wow. Should I bow down for your amazing offer? Hm... It's really not a fair trade, but sure. Ricardo: I was dying of boredom, but I think a fight should be fun! Raven: You, the master of the Arena, don't get to fight? Ricardo: I only accept duels that excite me. I'll let you go first. Come at me!

Raven faces with the reason for his insomnia but cannot get into battle due to various reasons that trouble his mind.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Raven: (... There's a reason he's the King. For all his laidback persona, his skills are a real deal.) Raven: (It seems like he's full of openings, but if I take the bait, I'll be trapped. It's tricky...) Ricardo: This ain't it... Your movement is all different. You weren't like this in the Abyss. Raven: Is that so? I don't really remember how I fought in the Abyss. Raven: (I was on edge due to the suffocating demonic energy and the limited sight from darkness... It's a miracle everyone made it out alive.) Ricardo: It was so much better. Ah, what a bummer... Ricardo: They say you reach your utmost potential in extreme circumstances, but I can't exactly match that condition... How about you take out your anger on me? Raven: My anger? (CLANG! CLANG!) Raven: Come to think of it, you said the same thing in my dream. Do I look like I have a lot of pent up anger? Ricardo: You don't just look that way, you actually do. Raven: ......? Ricardo: What, don't tell me you didn't know? You must be one of those with a serious gap between your ideal and reality. A typical harbinger of justice and all that. Ricardo: That's how dream walking works. You can't choose what you want to see, but if you concentrate, you can, not only see the memory, but experience it alongside the host. Raven: You felt my anger? Ricardo: Yes. Swelled up like a balloon, ready to pop at any moment. It was fascinating. (CLANG! KEEE....) Ricardo: Tsk, stop poking around and actually face me! All you've done is dodge my attacks. Raven: I tend to be cautious. Especially in front of sadistic demons who would slash open the face of their allies. Ricardo: Hm? Ah, so you met them. How are they doing? (BOOM!) Raven: Good. No thanks to you. Ricardo: Whoa, that one was good. I don't get it, what's the difference? Raven: I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not doing anything different. Raven: (The fight might last longer than I expected...) Raven: (I'll have to apologize to others later.) Ricardo: No. This isn't it. The movements were much more fluid in the Abyss and the land of beasts! Ricardo: But you can't seem to concentrate. What's the difference? What's on your mind besides fighting with me? Raven: Hm. I admit I'm distracted. I apologize. Raven: But that doesn't mean I'm not taking this seriously. You're not exactly an easy opponent. Ricardo: But you're not giving your all! Tell me, what do I need for you to take this seriously? Raven: Hm. Even if you say that... Ricardo: You better make this fight worthwhile for me. Ricardo: Oh, that one attack earlier was pretty good. You know, the attack made immediately after you mentioned the renegades. Raven: You call the Magmelia Dream Demons renegades? Raven: ... Come to think of it, there was a Dream Demon from Torta without a scar. Ricardo: Ah, I think I know who you're talking about. You mean the one with glasses, right? Raven: I thought all renegades received the same treatment? Ricardo: Nah, he was entertaining. He lied and said he was the one who instigated the escape, but he was a barely noticeable scaredy cat while he was here. Ricardo: The courage he showed while he was shaking in his pants was memorable. So you could say it was a reward of sorts. (CRASH, BOOM!) Ricardo: Whoa, what was that? It hurt. Raven: A reward? You really only care about your entertainment. Raven: For all your talk about dangers and thrills, you're no different from your spectators. Ricardo: In what way? Raven: You don't know what it feels like to be the only one to survive when all your comrades go down... until you experience it. Ricardo: Aha... So you want to educate me? Ricardo: Fine. At least you're finally taking this seriously. Show me what you've got!
Quest Completion Dialogue
Ciel: ... Wait, what's going on? Elesis: What is he doing?! Shaddie: Oh? What is it? What's going on? Chung: Raven charged suddenly... and is now giving an all-out-attack. Rose: What happened? An all-out-attack will not be to his advantage. Rena: Yeah. Didn't you say Raven's strategy was to watch his opponent's movement and buy time until he can counterattack, Rose? Ain: I think the King managed to get a rise out of him. Lu: Really.... Ara: Um, I'm sure Raven has a plan. All we can do is believe in him and cheer on. Rena: Yeah... I'm sure he'd be fine. Anyway, can you tell us more about the Land of Steel's border? Shaddie: A wall! It's very long, and very tall! It's a sight to behold! Zero: Is having a wall really that big of a deal? Most borders have them. Though, I guess I haven't seen that much in the Demon Realm. Elesis: Do walls even provide an obstacle to you guys? You have wings. Shaddie: We get muscle cramps! Saying you should fly over the wall is like saying you should run across Red Demon Territory without resting! Noah: It must be a very high wall. Rose: Maybe we can ask Asella if we can borrow the airship? Shaddie: I heard about those. We didn't try, but we saw some Glitters flying over the wall using small airships. Shaddie: But I don't recommend it. Boss seems to like you. He'll be sad if you go that way. Noah: Why? What happened to the demons that used airships...? Shaddie: The wall is so tall, we couldn't see anything from below when they went over the wall. But... Shaddie: ... It was followed by loud noise and light flashing! Ugh... It still gives me the chills! Rose: ......Were they shot down? Ciel: Sounds like it. Scary. Chung: ... What about the sea? Have you tried getting on a boat? Shaddie: We haven't tried that either! I do think it's possible. You'll have to weave between rocks, but you can remain undetected. Shaddie: But you need a very small boat to steer between rocks. At most 3 per boat. Chung: That means it's useless for us. There must be elite forces placed near the border. Chung: Going over the wall may be more difficult than we initially anticipated. Noah: Maybe they'll open the gate if they recognize Lu...? Though we don't know if the current master of the Land of Steel is Lu's friend or foe... Eve: Whichever it is, we should be able to go through the gate. Or there's no reason why they'd have the bounty. Ara: That's right. But for some reason... I have a bad feeling that we're missing something important...

(CLANG! CLANG! CLIIICK! ...BOOM!!) Ricardo: Ah... Much better! So it was a matter of will all this time? Raven: ....... Ricardo: I was wondering why you were talking about them, but you just wanted to confirm that I was the one to do it. How earnest. Raven: Don't pretend like you know who I am just from glimpsing in my dreams. Ricardo: That's not the only thing. Isn't it obvious? You and I are completely different breeds. Ricardo: That's why I can guess that you're the sort who needs to know what's right or wrong. Raven: ... I don't prioritize my emotions, but it's different when your facing against someone who's morally bankrupt as opposed to someone who's good. Ricardo: And I am a bad guy, through and through. Good, bad, it's too tedious for me. Ricardo: If I don't like the guy, I will stomp, crash, and destroy! Why avoid bloodshed? I don't see the point! Raven: I can see that. Ricardo: But I like people like you. Those who are honorable. It's not me, but it's cool. Ricardo: It's finally getting interesting now that the fight is heated up! Hahaha! (FLIP! THUMP...) Ricardo: I have an idea. Let's change the terms. Ricardo: Ey, get the elevator moving! Top floor! (RUMBLE RUMBLE-!!!)

Noah: Was that the wall they were talking about? It's so tall... You can't see where it ends! Ricardo: Here. Now that the path is open, let's raise the stakes. If you lose, you and all your friends have to work under me. Raven: I refuse. I can't accept that. Ricardo: Don't leave the stage! I told you, I play dirty. The only fair and square I need is this fight up here with you. Ricardo: One step, and my hounds will rip your friends to shreds and offer them to me! Aisha: Wha?! Where! Where...?! Raven: (He's bluffing. The fight with me was unexpected. There's no way he prepared a side measure for this particular kind of situation.) Raven: (Even if he did... We have the frame connected to Magmelia. There's nothing to worry about.) Raven: ... I didn't think you'd go this far for a fight. Why are you obsessing over this battle to the point of making overt threats. Raven: Does that mean you won't mind being taken down by me before you get to conquer the Land of Steel? Ricardo: You don't know until you try. Raven: ... Sure, we'll raise the stakes. I'll need a couple of dogs to climb a wall like that. (SLING!) Raven: I defeat the alpha dog, the whole pack come serve under me. Ricardo: Hahaha! You still drive a hard bargain. Fine. If you win, I will give you all of Torta... Give it all you've got!

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Ricardo: Pant, pant, ha.... Raven: (For some strange reason, it feels like a heavy burden has lifted off my shoulders...) Ricardo: Your movements are much smoother, but you seem to lack the power. Don't tell me you're exhausted? Raven: Not as much as you. Ricardo: Haha... Yeah, I'm exhausted. But... I can still fight. Ricardo: I'm going to regret it for days if I pass out and have to end this fight early when I finally got someone worth fighting against. Raven: You're very stubborn as well. It would have been easy for you as a Dream Demon to use allure or other spells to cause confusion to gain an easy advantage. Ricardo: What's the fun in that? I don't want to use back-handed methods. Raven: Can you promise not to use them after this fight? Ricardo: Sure. I never break my promise. Raven: Or forcibly detain us using your subordinates. Ricardo: I won't. And to tell you the truth, all that stuff about your friends were all lies. Raven: Ha, I knew it, you bastard. Raven: I don't want to admit anything you said was right, but this fight is serving as a good opportunity to take out my anger. Raven: (Come to think of it, all the fights up until now were in outrageously adverse conditions.) Raven: (But right now, there's no need to protect anyone. There's only one opponent. No tricks, no spells.) Raven: (Having nothing to worry about is actually freeing...) Raven: (As he said... I am enjoying this fight.) Ricardo: It seems you're finally showing off your skill. That arm also moves much better now. Why didn't you do this from the start? Raven: Hm? My arm? Ricardo: Not your sword arm, your mechanical prosthetic. Raven: Ah... I see. Raven: I wasn't thinking about it.... Ricardo: Time flies by when you're having fun. We should end this. Raven: Yes. Next attack should determine the winner. Ricardo: I had fun. Whoever the victor may be, let this be a match without regrets. Lilith: ....... Lilith: ... Target confirmed. Commencing intervention. Eve: ...?! What? Something is coming this way... Ricardo: Hm?! Raven: Weren't you the one complaining about not focusing during battle? (SWISH!) Ricardo: Wait, stop! Something's not right! (FLASH!) (BZZZZZTTTT--!!)

Aisha: Gasp, cough, what was that? Lightning? Was it lightning? Ara: Raven! Raven! Uh, cough! I can't see anything because of the smoke! Is Raven alright? Ain: ... Let's go. Ricardo: Ey, ey! Are you alright? Wake up! Raven: Gah, ugh.... What... hap.... (THUMP) Ciel: Someone entered the Arena! Add: Wait... No.... Add: What... No, What's going on?! Lilith: Mission complete. Lilith successfully executed the order. Add: You, that, that face... That's... Eve: Nasod? She's not in my code... Eve: She's not from Elysion either. The Demon Realm... How? Ricardo: You. You're the one that was hanging around near the wall. How dare you interrupt the match... You want to die by my hands?! Lilith: I've come here as a warning. You may want to proceed with caution or risk being discovered by the lord of the Land of Steel. Ricardo: You... 'advice'? After ambushing someone unguarded?! Ain: No need to make a fuss. Mr. Half-Nasod is just unconscious from the shock. Ain: You. Ms. Mystery Nasod. Did you say the lord of the Land of Steel? Who would that be? Lilith: I have no obligation to give you an answer. Eve: Who... Who are you? Are you from Elysion? Or from before...? Add: You...! What are you? Lilith: My name is Lilith, a multi-purpose AI. Add: That's not what I'm asking! Damn it, who made you. Who is it! Lilith: I cannot answer that question. I do not have the authority to give the answer. Add: You know what I'm asking! Where is he? Add: Answer me! Why, you don't have authority over this, either? Lilith: My creator is on top of the Great Steel Wall. Ain: ... You said advice. What will you do if we decide to ignore it? Will your master come and stop us? Lilith: That is not a matter I can decide. I can only give advice, nothing compulsory. Elsword: ... On top of the wall? Let's go. Let's see who's behind this mess. Noah: But we have to save Raven first! The result of the match... Ricardo: ...... It's fine. Ricardo: I'll show you the way. Shaddie! Close the Arena and kick out the spectators! Laby: Why? We lost...? Ricardo: Haha... I don't even have the strength to move a finger. If it weren't for the intruder, I would have lost. Ricardo: And... ... It finally looks like we can set out to the Land of Demise! Who cares about the details when a chance to move to the bigger stage is upon us! Ricardo: Come on. I got something to show you.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Rena: Yes, that's it. And then you tie the knot. Ain: The bandage can come loose while you're applying, so make sure to watch out for that. Laby: Ok! Like this... ... Done! Laby: Yay! All better! Now high-five! Rena: Haha... Raven is not fully recovered yet. That was just basic first aid... Ain: Yes. So no high-five for you, Mr. Half-Nasod. Raven: I wasn't planning on it. Ricardo: That looks convenient. I wonder why we don't have a healer? Lu: That's because you only need a little rest to be fully recovered. If you're really jealous, go lick your wounds. Ricardo: That's no help... Ey, Shaddie. Support me better, will you? You're tilting me. Shaddie: Sorry, will power is not enough to make Shaddie taller! Ricardo: Anyway, who are you? I didn't see you in any of their dreams. Lu: Hmph. Of course you haven't. That's because my presence is too immense and ancestral to be witnessed by your power. Ricardo: Wait, really? You're the real deal? Lu: Absolutely disrespectful... If you don't believe me, watch and see. Everything will be proven once we reach the Great Steel Wall. Ricardo: ....... Ricardo: ... I don't know. I doubt it. Lu: Tsk! You would still talk back to me? Ciel: Calm down, Lu. Be the bigger person. Rose: (He's still abrasive... But it seemed that he finally acknowledged who Lu is.) Rose: (... What will be waiting for us ahead?) Ciel: How much farther do we have to go? You're not leading us somewhere suspicious, are you? Ricardo: Have so little faith in me? Look over there. You should be able to see the gate that way.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Elesis: He's right! I see the gate! Why haven't you been able to go through? Ricardo: Let me show you. Ey, check that contraption next to the gate. Eve: There's a sensor. Perhaps the door opens when it recognizes the subject? Ricardo: Heh, why don’t you try. Lu: Hmph, of course it will open. Behold, I shall show you that I'm the true Steel Queen. Lu: Now, open the gate! ...BEBEEP. BEEP- BEEP- BEEP- Lu: What...! Why doesn't it open? I said I'm the true Steel Queen! BEEP- BEEP- BEEP- Ciel: (Does it not recognize her because it's not her true form?) Ain: You lied to us all this time, Ms. Demon? Lu: Stop it! I'm in no mood to jest! Mrr... This must be a mistake! There's something wrong! Ricardo: Hahaha! Keep going! You do it five times or so, and you'll be attacked by a battalion of airships. It's really a sight to behold. Raven: Speaking from experience? Ricardo: You can say that again. That gate does not open. It's made that way. Ricardo: The gate is also just carved to look like a gate. Go look closely if you're curious. Noah: It doesn't open? Why would someone make something like that? Ricardo: It's all a trap. Hahaha! Isn't it entertaining? Ricardo: The massive bounty on the Steel Queen was a scam! A ploy! Who would have imagined! Eve: The alarm is set to ring after a slight delay when you reveal your identity... Eve: It's made to harm whoever claims to be the Steel Queen, whether real or fake. Lu: After... me? Why...? To this extent... Ain: ... We understand we cannot use this gate. Then how can we go over this wall? Shaddie: For that, we have forged a path! If it's alright with you, I'll take you there, Boss! Raven: Um... Shaddie: Yes, Boss! What can I do for you? Raven: ... What did you call me? Shaddie: Huh? Well... You won against Big Boss, so you're the new Boss. That's why I'm calling you Boss! Elsword: Wow... Raven, you have subordinates now... Rose: I don't think Raven is interested in becoming a part of your group... Besides, he's not a demon. Shaddie: Aw, it's fine. We don't care about those things! Raven: I uh... still would rather if you don't call me that. Shaddie: Wha...? Boss, what do I do? It seems Big Boss doesn't want to be called Boss! Ikus: Then what do we call him? Ricardo: I don't know. Why don't you like it? This never happened before. Eris: Mm hm... Oh! What about Chief? Shaddie: Oh, that's good! You can also differentiate from Boss! Raven: I'm not comfortable with that either... Chung: I don't think you're allowed to refuse. Ciel: That's right! Didn't you say something like, everyone serve under you if you defeat the alpha dog... Or something like that? Ciel: You act all cool, saying those things only to abandon them the next moment? They want to serve you, just let them be. You fit the role. Raven: You seem too entertained. Am I sensing your grudge from the earlier match? Ciel: Nope! You must be hearing things. Raven: ....... Add: Enough with the chit-chat and lead us the way right now! We're in a hurry!

[Village] To the Great Steel Wall

{{

Quest Acceptance Prerequisites	Objectives
Complete the [Village] Torta's New Leader story quest	Talk to Vasili in Magmelia
Description
Torta Dream Demons tell the El Search Party what they've learned so far as they challenged against the Great Steel Wall. Now the only thing that remains is to leave.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Ricardo: Aren't you impatient? You see that gate over there? If you go a bit further, you should see that one of the lights on the wall is out. Ricardo: The pathway connected to it is near the Arena. If you use that, you can climb up the wall without being discovered. Ain Are all those lights installed for security reasons? Anyone with half a brain cell won't leave a broken light unfixed. Shaddie: If you break them, they're fixed in a couple of days. But all we need to do is go break it again! Ricardo: A machine comes to fix it. Whoever the new ruler is, he's definitely a coward. Ricardo: The machines on top of the wall can be a hassle, but you can see what their limitations are when you keep facing them. Ricardo: Enough said. You'll know what I'm talking about when you face them yourself. Shaddie: Anyway, we destroyed the security light on the wall and installed a transportation device. You don't have to bother climbing the wall! Ain I suppose at that point, even stolen talent can be considered a gift. Shaddie: Boss! I'll teach you some more useful tips! Shaddie: The wall is not as it seems! There are several more layers inside. The height is the same as the most outer layer and ugh... It's like a web of convoluted paths! Shaddie: You're not spiders, so you shouldn't climb off the wall! Laby: Always travel on top of the wall... Got it! Ikus: Also, there are security lights all over up there. If you go up, you'll be discovered immediately. Shaddie: But there should be a device somewhere that receives and sends out the signal. We haven't actually confirmed, but we're pretty sure! Ricardo: We didn't manage to find it, but if you find and break it, all the devices on the wall should stop operating. Ricardo: Then we'll be able to follow you and enter the walls. Shaddie: If you clear the path, we will follow! Aisha: Wow! You learned a lot! You guys... I didn't think you'd help us so much. Ricardo: Of course we'll help with Chief going. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go right this moment. Ricardo: We'll leave it to you, advance party. Rena: It's like they're completely on our side now... Shaddie: Here, this is the map that we made. It's not complete yet, but it should still be helpful! Eve: Thank you. Eri, you should go back as well. Use the frame and go back to Magmelia. Eris: Will you be alright? If I go back with the frame, you won't be able to run in an emergency. Elsword: We have the map so we should be fine. We received a lot of help, too. Elsword: Plus, we also have a task for you. Eris: Oh? Do tell. Elsword: We don't know what's beyond the wall, but it's probably going to be more difficult once we're on the other side. Elsword: We have many engineering experts here as well, but an engineer from the Demon Realm is probably more well-versed on Demon Realm technology. Can you contact the people if we give you a list? Eris: Roger! Just give me the word! Shaddie: I guess this is farewell for now, Chief! Good luck! Ikus: You have to win. We'll follow you shortly! Raven: Sigh...
