- Genya Arikado: They want to resurrect the lord of darkness. Like some sought to do with Dracula.
- Soma Cruz: I guess they don't like the fact that I didn't become the "lord of darkness".
- Genya Arikado: Not only that, they intend to create a new lord by eliminating you.
- Soma Cruz: So those two are the dark lord's candidates...
- Celia Fortner: Correct. They were born at the same time as Dracula's demise. They are inheritors of Dracula's dark powers.
- Soma Cruz: But that's no guarantee that they can become the dark lord.
- Celia Fortner: They can. By shattering Dracula's soul.
- Soma Cruz: Then that means there will always be a need for a dark lord. All because I ducked out from becoming the next in line!
- Genya Arikado: Don't misconstrue me! Perhaps there is a need for the dark lord... But there is no reason at all for you to become the dark lord.
- Soma Cruz: But if it weren't for me, none of this would have happened!
- Genya Arikado: You're neither a god nor a demon. You're only human. You have no chance at ever achieving perfection. Or are you saying you want to be the dark lord?
- Soma Cruz: No... Of course not.
