**A Proud Beast** is a Legend quest released for the Belial Showdown/Super Belial Festival event for the Japanese version of Crash Fever (in the Japanese version, the quest was labelled as Wizard difficulty instead).

At one point, Belial was enjoying riding his motorcycle through downtown ALICE. While he is admiring it, someone tells him to watch out, and before he knows it, Belial crashes his motorcycle into another person. Belial is flung into the air, and passes out.

Belial wakes up and figures he was in a terrible accident. He suddenly hears a scream from a girl, and Belial runs to see the source of it. He sees a princess that looks like Dirac being attacked by Jerry-like slimes, and he asks if she is OK while saying to hold on while he goes to help her. Princess Dirac asks who he is, and warns him to back off since the Jerryims aren't just basic monsters, but are followers of the "Demon King". She says that she doesn't know who he is, but he needs to get out of there while she tries to handle the situation.

Belial says he can't just overlook a person in need of help, but thinks to himself that the situation looks bad. Belial says to himself that he can't just give up, and tries thrusting out his hand - and suddenly, a vivid red flame rises from his palm, that scares away the Jerryim. Belial wonders what just happened, while Princess Dirac says that she didn't think he had that kind of power. She asks if it is possible that he is the "Crimson Lotus Savior" from their legends, which just confuses Belial as he doesn't know what she is talking about.

She suddenly asks him to please help her in their time of need. Belial just remains confused, and Princess Dirac explains that this world is ruled over by the Demon King, who torments them with his enormous power and cruelty just for the fun of it. She says that they are at their wit's end, and someone needs to put a stop to the Demon King. She admits that it's really her job, as a member of the royalty, but states that she was chased out of the castle. She scolds herself for not doing better, but Belial asks if she really needs to be so hard on herself.

Princess Dirac says he doesn't have to act so nice, but he says that rushing in to a dangerous place to save someone isn't what a pitiful person would do, and asks if she'd laugh at someone who did that. Princess Dirac says that she wouldn't and would applaud their gumption, but never laugh at them. Belial points out to her that she is better than she thinks. He says that while he doesn't really have a clue about what is going on, like where he is and why, if she is willing to have his help he will fight by her side.

Princess Dirac thanks him, calling him "Savior" once more. He asks her to stop calling him that, and to just call him Belial. Princess Dirac introduces herself as the first princess of this land, and asks him to do whatever he can to save their world.

As they travel, she explains what she knows about this world. Belial admits he really doesn't know anything, as there are places that look like ones he knows, but in the end it's like a completely different world. Princess Dirac tells him that while he may not be very knowledgeable about this world, it would be best for him to keep his bewilderment to a minimum. She explains that part of the legend of the Savior is that he comes from another world, and she can't just act completely stunned at learning that it's all true.

They soon arrive at a village, and Princess Dirac says they should stock up on necessities before they head to the Demon King's castle. Belial says that's fine, but then points out that it looks like everyone is avoiding them. Princess Dirac clarifies that this is a demi-human village, and that they're probably just scared of them. She says that the Demon King scorns demi-humans and calls them inferior, while making the other peoples do the same out of fear of angering the Demon King.

Belial is angered at the oppression, and Princess Dirac agrees with his outrage saying that the Demon King's actions are unforgivable. As they are talking, Belial accidentally bumps into a demi-human girl. He apologizes, and then recognizes the girl as Forneus. He asks what she is doing there, but Forneus asks how a human knows her name and who he is. Belial asks what she is talking about and asks why she is here. Forneus tells him to get away, and calls to her sister for help. Another demi-human walks over and threatens Belial to get away from her sister.

Belial recognizes the other demi-human as Baphomet, and wonders what she is doing here as well as wondering what is going on. Baphomet gets angry and tells him to shut up, while asking where he heard their names and what is a human doing in their village. She asks if their usual oppression is not enough anymore, and attacks while saying they won't take anymore from them.

She fights while declaring that demi-humans are not inferior, and calls his claims of being a Savior as lies meant to trick them. Belial, however, refuses to attack her, which just infuriates her more as it is an insult to her pride. Belial thinks to himself that he can't attack him, but at the same time he can't let this go on much longer. A transparent plank appears in front of Belial's eyes, and the skills inscribed on it suddenly rush into Belial's mind.

He then uses his knowledge to use the skill "Mind Heal", and a light comes from his hand. Baphomet is blinded by the light for a moment, and begins to cry. Forneus begins to cry as well, and comments that the light is warm and soft. Belial explains that it is a skill that heals your mind and spirit in exchange for tears, and comments that how much they are crying is indicative of how much pain and suffering they've been in.

Baphomet asks if he really means what he said about toppling the Demon King, and he says of course he did. He says he can't look past someone who hurts people like this. Baphomet apologizes for attacking, and Forneus does as well admitting that they were scared. Belial tells them to not worry about it, and Princess Dirac says she should apologize to them. She then says that they will indeed defeat the Demon King, and they just need to wait.

Baphomet says that she doesn't want to wait, and instead will be going with them on their trip. Princess Dirac asks why she would do something like that, and Baphomet says that the demi-humans are proud warriors. Waiting around to be saved is not something they want to do. Forneus says that she and her sister are strong, and they can be of help. Belial welcomes them into the party, and they continue on their way.

The story is continued in Our Lady of God.
