10TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_SEQ_00Yaana is beside herself with grief.
21TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_SEQ_01Still reeling from the revelation that Eutrope and the other fighters have already perished, Yaana implores you to avenge them, and bring the president to justice. To leave that man─that monstrosity─unpunished for his crimes would be a crime in itself. And so you ready yourself to face the serpentine Lindwurm. ※AAC Heavyweight M4 can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
32TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_SEQ_02With its astounding ability to twist, contort, and regenerate its body, the Lindwurm is a fearsome foe indeed. Yet through all the venom and gore, you triumph, bringing the great serpent low. The matter of the cure still remains, however...
43TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_SEQ_03Just as Yaana demands the location of the Drop of Life, Metem steps forward to explain that it must be extracted from the Lindwurm's heart. With sorrow in his voice, he continues his explanation, but is cut short when the felled beast suddenly regenerates once more. Seeing this, Yaana abandons her regulator, inspired to fight the monster unenhanced after your example. Your retired comrades soon join to even the odds, and just when it seems their combined strength is not enough, who should appear but the presumed dead Brute Bomber. Beckoning them to channel their aether to him, the reviled heel then sends you a fiery infusion of energy. With everyone's strength behind you, you dropkick the Lindwurm and bring it down yet again. It is at this moment that the Tyrant and other heavyweights appear, and summarily end the tormented president's life. The Lindwurm's heart at last extracted, Metem vows to see every soul cured of the disease─Eutrope and the immortalized not least of all.
54TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_SEQ_04You speak with Neyuni at Tritails Training, hopeful that your afflicted comrades will make a full recovery from psychonekrosis. After a not-insignificant wait, you are relieved to see them return alongside Metem, who informs you the Drop of Life was effective. Furthermore, he states that the souls in the Arcadion's repository have been freed, and henceforth, matches will pit only unenhanced fighters against each other. This unfortunately means you can no longer participate, as no fighter can contend against you. On the bright side, you still have your crowning ceremony to look forward to. Metem bids you come to the Arcadion when you are ready for the big event. ※In the event that you leave the area, you may return by speaking with the Arcadion attendant in front of the Arcadion.
65TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_SEQ_05Your crowning ceremony is once again interrupted by the belligerent Brute Bomber. This time, however, it is the agile Black Cat who leaps into the ring, and makes ready to brawl against him in your place. An apt way for the new era of the Arcadion to begin, if the audience's excitement is any indication.
76TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_SEQ_06Apologizing for the sudden altercation during your ceremony, Yaana is hopeful that people will continue to enjoy the Arcadion's shows, and will do her best to raise the excitement to higher highs. Reflecting on all that has come to pass, she admits that she played into the president's hands from the start─yet for all his scheming, without you at the center of it all, she is sure this favorable outcome would not have been possible. With that, she hopes that you, the newly designated “eternal grand champion,” will drop by to see her and everyone else when time allows. And as she departs, you feel deep down in your heart that the president's final words ring true─the Arcadion's future is bright indeed...

4948TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_POMB_100_000Meow...
5049TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_SYSTEM_100_001As before, Pomb mews somberly in front of the doors...
5150TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_000Deep down, I'd feared we might be too late. I'd steeled myself for the worst. But the reality was too much to bear...
5251TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_001When I saw how the president had exploited my sister and all those others, I tried to use a feral soul without thinking.
5352TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_002I want nothing more than to fight with you, but I know I'd only hold you back. And I'd be a fool to tempt fate again with a feral soul.
5453TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_003In his twisted mind, the president might think this is just a show. But to me, this is a reckoning. For Eutrope and all the fallen fighters, bring that monster to justice, Player!
5554TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_010This “Lindwurm” is a complete mystery, so I can't offer you any meaningful advice.
5655TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_011But you're the grand champion for a reason, Player. You've bested every opponent you've faced, and I'm sure you can best this fiend too!
5756TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_100You did it, Player! Just as I thought you would!
5857TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_101Now, tell us where the Drop of Life is! We won't allow anyone else to die!
5958TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_102That which you seek lies before you. The aether yielded by the Lindwurm's heart is the stimulant for the regeneration factor.
6059TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_103Now, set aside your grief, for Eutrope and the other fighters have not perished. Everyone can still be saved. Everyone, except the president...
6160TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_104Wh-What?
6261TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_105Everything has been part of the president's plan to produce the cure to psychonekrosis.
6362TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_106When the first fighter was diagnosed with the disease, the president was utterly shaken. He cursed himself for ever introducing the use of feral souls.
6463TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_107Determined to find a cure, he turned to the treasure that had been passed down through his line: the egg of a Lindwurm, a creature known for its phenomenal regenerative abilities.
6564TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_108After much experimentation, he ultimately extracted the soul of the unborn beast and took it into himself. And though he transformed into a monstrosity possessed of preternatural regeneration, he sadly could not use his power to heal others.
6665TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_109To make matters worse, that power meant he was forever locked in its serpentine form. So it was that he was forced to confine himself to this mausoleum.
6766TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_110For a small blessing, his regulator still allowed him control over the Arcadion's devices, and he could remotely operate machinery.
6867TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_111That was how he was able to make contact with me and convey his intent: to sacrifice himself, and have the cure made from his heart.
6968TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_112Alas, the Lindwurm was too powerful. Even the Tyrant proved no match, and the Arcadion remained in operation as the search continued for a warrior capable of defeating him.
7069TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_113Those fighters who developed psychonekrosis had to be retired and put into a deep sleep─a cold stasis to keep the disease at bay until they could be cured. It was for this reason that Eutrope was kidnapped. The president lamented subjecting more souls to the disease, but for want of other solutions, he could only press on with his plan.
7170TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_114If that's the truth, then why didn't you tell us!?
7271TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_115The president was nothing if not a showman. He dedicated his regrets, his desire for atonement, and indeed his very life, to bring greater thrills to the masses.
7372TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_100_115In so doing, he would promote fiercer competition and give rise to ever stronger fighters, one of whom he hoped would rise up to challenge him.
7473TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_116It was to keep the competition running that the disease was kept secret. And though many fighters showed promise, it seemed as though none would ever transcend the Tyrant. 
7574TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_117That is, until you appeared. From the moment he saw you, the president was certain that you'd be the one to defeat him.
7675TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_100_117All he needed to do was to spur you on. And to do so, he cast you as a rebel who would tear down the Arcadion, and himself as the greatest heel it has ever known.
7776TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_100_118The man couldn't help but turn everything into a spectacle. It's so absurd, one can't help but admire it...
7877TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_118So this entire time, we've been puppets in the president's play?
7978TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_119Confound it, he's already recovered!
8079TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_120
8180TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_THEHOWLINGBLADE_000_121(-Retsarra-)We'll help too!
8281TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_122It's no good!
8382TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_000_123(-Hoarse Voice-)Everybody, listen up!
8483TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_000_124The questions can wait. Right now, I need you all to channel me your aether!

8786TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_000_127Use it, Player! Our combined power!
8887TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_128We need to finish him now!
8988TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_THETYRANT_000_129(-???-)You've fought well, champion. Leave the rest to us.
9089TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_THETYRANT_000_130The president confided in us long ago. We've been acting according to his instructions.
9190TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_THETYRANT_200_130It was my duty to serve as the challenger's final test...
9291TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_THETYRANT_100_130And to ensure their hands would not be sullied!
9392TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_ARCADIAOWNER_000_131It was the battle of a lifetime... Even without feral souls, the Arcadion's future is bright...
9493TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_THEHOWLINGBLADE_000_132(-Retsarra-)Hector, I thought you were gone... That you'd died after becoming that fiend...
9594TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_000_133I'd thought the same. But then I woke up, and I was myself again.
9695TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_000_134Metem explained everything after that. The president had given me less-potent souls for the bout, and then his people restored me back to normal.
9796TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_000_135I've been resting in the Arcadion's infirmary ever since. But when I saw what was happening on the broadcast, nothing could keep me from coming to help.
9897TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_136I-I might've pushed myself too hard... Forgot I had this...little disease...
9998TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_137R-Right, that! We should move everyone to the infirmary immediately and have the cure created!
10099TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_138I shall personally tend to matters from here. Every soul will be saved, I give you my word!
101100TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_HONEYBLOVELY_000_150I have to say I'm a mite miffed that Brute stole the spotlight, but I'm glad everyone is safe!
102101TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_DANCINGGREEN_000_151Heh, had a feeling it'd play out like this. For all his quirks, I knew the old man couldn't truly've been a villain!
103102TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_SUGARRIOT_000_152Try not to encourage the verdant dancer. He's already insufferably smug enough as it is.
104103TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_NEYUNI_000_200I watched the broadcast from start to finish! You were absolutely amazing, Player!
105104TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_NEYUNI_100_200Though it's taken some time, you've inspired me to change my view towards souls. Like Yaana, I've decided to remove my regulator as well.
106105TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_NEYUNI_000_201By the way, some people from the Arcadion dropped by earlier to apologize for the president's deception. They even helped fix up the gym.
107106TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_NEYUNI_000_202It's been quite a whirlwind of events, but it seems the worst is over. All that remains is to pray that everyone is cured...
108107TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_SYSTEM_100_300Some time later...
109108TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_300I'm pleased to say the treatment was effective! Everyone has made a full recovery from psychonekrosis!
110109TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_301The symptoms are completely gone! I feel like myself again thanks to the cure─and of course to you as well, Player!
111110TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_EUTROPE_000_302Yaana has told me all. Words do not suffice to show my gratitude...but please accept my thanks.
112111TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_000_303Uh...yeah, mine too...
113112TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_000_304I owe you one!
114113TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_THEHOWLINGBLADE_000_305Before setting off for their homes, the heavyweight fighters and those who were in stasis also expressed their heartfelt gratitude for you.
115114TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_THEHOWLINGBLADE_000_306And it'd be remiss of me not to do the same. Thank you, Player.
116115TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_307I, meanwhile, must apologize to everyone. Though it was to conceal the president's plan, the fact remains that I deceived you.
117116TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_308I am truly sorry...
118117TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_Q1_000_000What will you say?
119118TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_A1_000_001All's well that ends well.
120119TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_A1_000_002You need to be punished!
121120TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_A1_000_003And here I thought you were the true mastermind...
122121TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_309Ahhh, those words mean more to me than you can know... There were times when I felt I would be crushed by the weight of the deception...
123122TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_310O-Oh dear! Have mercy, I beg you! The fighters are all hale and whole─surely you can find it in your heart to forgive me?
124123TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_311Me, the mastermind? You give me too much credit. I've not the imagination to conceive such an audacious plan.
125124TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_100_311That said, I did work behind the scenes to ensure all went according to script. In light of this, perhaps I *could* be considered the mastermind.
126125TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_312In the end, everything is as the president had hoped. Wherever he is now, he too would doubtless be overjoyed...
127126TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_100_313He sacrificed himself to save us all... Another debt I can never repay.
128127TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_100_314The president actually had one last wish: that those who still bear love for the Arcadion, even after everything, continue to fight and bring excitement to the fans.
129128TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_THEHOWLINGBLADE_100_315Heh, he really had us all figured out. It's as if we're still dancing in the palm of his hand.
130129TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_313Ah, lest you wonder, I've arranged for the souls in the repository to be set free as you desired. Never again shall feral souls be wielded in the Arcadion.
131130TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_314From now on, matches will only be fought between unenhanced warriors. The upstart's revolution was a success.
132131TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_315This means, however, that there are none at present who could offer you contest. Until our fighters have become strong enough, I'm afraid we won't have any matches for you.
133132TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_Q2_000_000What will you say?
134133TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_A2_000_001I was looking forward to defending my title...
135134TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_A2_000_002I'm sure that day will come soon.
136135TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_316I think I speak for everyone when I say I'd love to face you unenhanced. I won't stop training until I'm ready!
137136TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_317Now then, there is to be a crowning ceremony for the new grand champion.
138137TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_318Naturally, it can't begin without you, so pray come to the greenroom at your earliest convenience!
139138TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_350The ceremony will be held in the very ring we fought in. It wasn't all that long ago, yet somehow it feels like an age...
140139TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_351But come, everyone's already out there waiting. Make sure you're dressed for the occasion, because all of Alexandria will be watching!
141140TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_Q3_000_000Begin the ceremony in your current attire?
142141TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_400My fellow citizens! We are gathered to recognize a new grand champion in the Arcadion─an unstoppable force of nature who tore through every obstacle in her way!

145144TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_000_403(-Hoarse Voice-)Hold it right there!
146145TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_000_404(-Hoarse Voice-)It's a farce that you're grand champion! I refuse to accept it!
147146TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_405Oh my! The Brute Bomber has barged into Player's ceremony again! Does the man never learn!?
148147TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_BRUTEBOMBER_000_406I demand a rematch! Just you and me, unenhanced!
149148TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_407(-Dignified Voice-)Not so fast!
150149TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_408Watching you get tossed aside by Player would hardly be entertaining! *I'll* be your opponent!
151150TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_409Black Cat has leapt into the ring! I daresay this should be an even match!
152151TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_410With the president no longer with us, it falls to my humble self to authorize matches!
153152TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_411And on this occasion, I am pleased to approve an impromptu exhibition!
154153TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_412Let this be the clash to christen the Arcadion's rebirth!
155154TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_413She's the claw that gleams in revolution's shadow! The rebel that prowls the dark, Black Cat!
156155TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_METEM_000_414He's the man who's been to hell and lived to tell the tale! The incorrigible, reprehensible Brute Bomber!
157156TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_500Hehe, I did it! I beat the Brute Bomber!
158157TEXT_KINGRA306_05440_YAANA_000_501Sorry for spoiling your moment with that charade, but we wanted to kick off the new era of the Arcadion with a bang. Metem came up with a last-minute script, and I agreed to join in.
