*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''We only enjoy this life because we realized when we escaped from our restraints, how futile everything is. Huhu, but I know you don't understand yet.''

*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Ahaha. I just want you to understand our way of life. Yes, many underestimate Dream Demons.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''They think we are foolish, seeking only pleasure and passion without thought. But we are beings that walk ahead of you.''
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''... If life is one long journey, some might say you have already reached your destination.''

*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''With that kind of determination, I'm sure you'll leave even after I turn you into one of us. And that's no good for me.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Thought the ritual is already complete... I accept your strong determination to refuse our courtesy!''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''So then... shall we continue with this show?''
*''(YEAAAAAAH!!)''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Continue? You won't stop?''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Yes. It's a way to neutralize a complete ritual. We just need to leave it be until the sun rises and that will scatter our magic for the night.''
*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''I would say... we have time for three more songs.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''We just need to stall for time...? Then what should we do?''

*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''That's my condition for ending the ritual. I won't forgive you if you act like amateurs and try to ruin the show again!''

*{{StoryIcon|Victoria}} '''Victoria:''' ''Haha, at least pretend. Once you let go of yourself even a bit, your mind and body will do the rest.''

Meeting with the New Queen

Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives
Description

The El Search Party follows the origin of the curse and finds themselves at the crowded Magmelia Square.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Rena: What a crowd! Looks like all the Dream Demons in the village gathered here!
  • Ciel: What's that installation? It's new, isn't it?
  • Elesis: What is going on? Let's take a closer look!
  • Chung: Excuse me! Coming through!
  • (TAP, TAP, TAP)
  • Crowd: (WHOOOOO!)
  • Victoria: Silence!
  • Add: Is that the new Succubus Queen after Karis? It's the first time we're actually seeing her.
  • Victoria: Ladies and gentlemen of the night... Huhu, hello! I am happy to have all of you gathered here again tonight!
  • Victoria: It seems like yesterday when we settled here, but look how marvelous our village has grown... It's giving me tears of joy!
  • Victoria: I know you all feel the same. Now, put your hands together for Magician, Puppet Master, Shadow, and all my brothers and sisters who allowed this dream to become a reality!
  • Victoria: But we can't be satisfied here! It's time to expand our horizon with even more comrades and even bigger land! It's time we have our voices heard!
  • Victoria: Tada! These humans wish to be with us, so let's begin this ritual just for them!
  • Victoria: To our new brothers and sisters! Let's go!
  • Elsword: ... Is she talking about us?
  • Lu: Brothers? Sisters? What's going on here?
  • Add: Hey, what's this on our necks? Get it off!
  • Diana: Huhuhu, no can do. You can't escape until the ritual is over.
  • Eve: Why are you doing this? Are you seeking revenge?
  • Diana: Revenge... Not going to lie, I did entertain the thought.
  • Diana: But once I saw how much you enjoyed this place, I decided to resolve this in a peaceful manner.
  • Diana: Now, become one of us and stay!
  • Rose: You have a convoluted idea of peace.
  • Elsword: But... How can we become one of you? At least Lu and Ciel are part demons, but the rest of us aren't...?
  • Diana: Huhuhu, it's fine! I know just the thing. Once the show comes to an end... You will meet the end of your first life.
  • Aisha: What!!?!
  • Diana: Oh? Hahaha, you sound so surprised. I was just like you once. Remember, Vasha? I bet it was hilarious.
  • Vasili: For the last time, my lady... I wasn't even born when you became a Dream Demon.
  • Add: Damn it! How do I get rid of this? I can't... even grab it!
  • Aisha: I, I don't want to die! We've went though too much to die like this!
  • Noah: (Will I be able to go back even if I become something else? Back to the beginning?)
  • Vasili: Let it go. Besides, you're not truly dying. You will soon be resurrected.
  • Vasili: Next time you open your eyes, you will forget your old life and live your second as one of us.
  • Diana: We'll be together until Death do us apart the second time. Forever!
  • Rena: Nooo!!!!
  • Diana: I invite the ladies to the decadent and alluring world of dreams brought by night.
  • Vasili: Become the servants of darkness, an avid follower of nightmare and chaos hidden by night!
  • Victoria: Now, the show has already begun. Until the brilliant morning sun parts the darkness and steals our power... Please, enjoy!
  • Laby: Are we going to become like them if we stay still?!
  • Raven: We can't let that happen. Stop her!
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Laby: Ugh, where is everyone?
  • Rena: Ara! Ain! Elesis! Ciel! Ugh, who else is missing?
  • Eve: Rose and Aisha are also missing. We've been split up by the crowd. It won't be easy finding them.
  • Raven: Now's not the time to worry about that. We won't notice them even if they're close with this crowd...
  • Raven: If you attack without thinking, we might end up attacking each other. Do not act rashly!
  • Add: Damn it, think of the other possibility. If the others do anything, then WE'RE doomed!
  • Lu: This is unfortunate. A ritual like this... It didn't even cross my mind.
  • Noah: But why? Aren't we their enemies?
  • Elsword: Yeah. Why are they trying to turn us in to one of them? It doesn't make any sense.
  • Lu: I thought so too, initially. However, I failed to consider their ecology. Remember how I told you that all Dream Demons are already dead?
  • Lu: How do you think they increase their numbers?
  • Eve: I see. They must turn other species in to their own through this ritual.
  • Raven: It's lie a contamination... Like vampires from legends.
  • Raven: Once we're Dream Demons, whatever relationship we had before will be rewritten... So it's actually beneficial for them.
  • Chung: Oh... But I don't want that to happen! Is there any other way?
  • Add: Are you all going to sit around and do nothing? If that's the case, I'm leaving!
  • Elsword: No, Add! If you're alone...
  • Chung: He's gone. I bet he's going to destroy the stage.
  • Elsword: Tsk, not every one can fly to wherever we want like him.
  • Lu: Wait, destroy the stage? That's not a bad idea.
  • Noah: ... How is it not bad other than taking out our frustrations on the Dream Demons?
  • Rena: A component of the ritual! She said there are procedures that must be met in order to have a successful ritual. If the ritual is in the form of a show, then...
  • Chung: Once we stop the show, we can stop the ritual.
  • Laby: Then let's all follow Add!
  • Chung: How are we going to relay this plan to others? It's so loud, I doubt they can listen even if we shout.
  • Noah: ...... Gurumi.
  • Noah: Laby! Get Gurumi up! Have it float above us, then move towards the stage!
  • Laby: Aha! And when everyone sees Gurumi, they'll follow us to the stage. Good idea, Noah!
  • Laby: Ok, Gurumi! Grow and grow! Float to the stage!
  • (... PSS... BOOM!)
  • Rena: A signal flare! That must be Rose!
  • Raven: They must have gotten the message. Alright, let's go!

  • Ara: Everyone! I'm so happy to see you all again!

  • Rose: Yes! Along with a spark that looked like Add.
  • Ain: Do we have a plan to deal with this situation?
  • Elsword: Yup! We need to stop the performance to interrupt the ritual before it's too late!
  • Victoria: Oh? Looks like our special guests have arrived on stage. Welcome! Let's create a wonderful performance together.
  • Add: Kugh, ... There's a barrier surrounding the queen. How inconvenient.
  • Aisha: It makes sense to protect the one performing the ritual... Chung! Can you fire a cannonball in the air? One that's really big and flashy!
  • Chung: Oh, of course! If we make a big commotion, they might be distracted. I'll try.
  • Chung: Everyone close your eyes!
  • (PSSS... ... BOOOM!!)
  • (YEAAAAHHH!!)

  • Elesis: How about it, want to try breaking the barrier? It might be possible if we all strike together.
  • Noah: Clmore, what do you think? Can we remove the magic?
  • Clamor: It's a waste of time. That guy over there has been attacking it for a while now, but hasn't even made a dent. The ritual is going to end before we manage to do anything.
  • Aisha: The stage set! It's amplifying the sound, so they'll have to stop if we destroy them!
  • Victoria: Ahaha! Everyone having fun? Unfortunately, we're already on our last song. Let's enjoy it 'til the end!
