*Seria: Phew, even after getting this far it looks like we still have a long way to go...
*Seria: Tilith, can't you just transport us there with your powers?
 	
*Tilith: No way!
 	
*Tilith: If I try to teleport so many people at the same time to a place so far away from here...
*Tilith: ...who knows where you'll all end up in the process!
 	
*Seria: Say what? Your powers as a goddess are useless then!
 	
*Tilith: Seria's being a meanie!
 	
*So, it looks like you're bringing the humans with you after all.
 	
*Tilith: Ark!

*Ark: Disciple Tilith.
*Ark: You plan to betray Lord Lucius by siding with these humans, don't you?
 	
*Tilith: No!
 	
*Tilith: I...!
 	
*Seria: You have no idea of what're you talking about, do you?
*Seria: Tell me, how can you be so stupid if you're Lord Lucius's disciple?
*Seria: Why would Tilith ever betray Lord Lucius?
*Seria: Tilith is just following her orders.
*Seria: She's taking us to Lord Lucius, just like he asked.
 	
*Ark: Hmph, what you say seems true enough.
*Ark: Disciple Tilith.
*Ark: If you are indeed doing what you claim to, do you remember Lord Lucius's last words to you?
*Ark: Anyone who dares to oppose him shall be rightfully punished.
 	
*Tilith: ......
 	
*Ark: Humans.
*Ark: I have but one thing to say to you.
*Ark: You may think yourselves heroes as you make your way towards Lord Lucius...
*Ark: ...but one word from you...
*Ark: ...could drive Lord Lucius to decide on the destruction of humanity as a whole.
*Ark: Do you understand the importance of the responsibility you bear?
*Ark: Lord Lucius's power is great.
*Ark: His powers have not been completely restored yet, so he cannot leave this region.
*Ark: But even so, he holds power far greater than that of the Four Fallen Gods.
*Ark: Do you seriously intend to move forward knowing this?
 	
*Karl: Of course.
*Karl: If we don't move forward, nothing will get done.
*Karl: However, we don't have any intentions of fighting Lord Lucius.
*Karl: We just wanna have a talk with him about the future of the human race.
 	
*Seria: That's right.
*Seria: I'm sure Eriole also wanted to do something similar...
*Seria: ...but I just don't think that Lord Lucius would destroy humans so easily.
*Seria: I mean, it was he who saved all humans in the first place, right?
 	
*Ark: ......Very well.
*Ark: I am now aware of your intentions.
*Ark: If you are people of your word, then head towards the Tower of the Oracle.
*Ark: I will test you there.
*Ark: We'll see if you humans are truly worthy of an audience with Lord Lucius.
 	
*Lugina: Hey.
*Lugina: Aren't you the one going against your master's wishes?
*Lugina: Didn't he order you to bring us directly to him?
 	
*Ark: Well, as a former human, I would also like to avoid the destruction of humanity.
*Ark: That is all.

*Lugina: Tsch, he's gone.
 	
*Seria: Well, what are we gonna do?
*Seria: Tilith's here with us anyway, so should we just ignore him?
 	
*Karl: No, I'm curious about his plans. Let's head towards the Tower of the Oracle for now.
*Karl: It might do us some good to collect more information before we actually talk to Lord Lucius.
 	
*Lugina: It's gonna be a pain, but it's the right thing to do.
*Lugina: But more importantly, that Ark guy...
 	
*Lugina: Hey! !
*Lugina: We have no idea of all the headaches that are coming our way!
*Lugina: But even a moron like you should be prepared for anything!
*Lugina: I won't forgive you if you don't hold your own, you got that?!
*Lugina: C'mon!
*Lugina: Start moving!
 	
*Paris: No matter how far we've come, he's still as vulgar as ever...
