Yami comments about how he Iai spell within the condensed Mana Zone, never misses. Dante drops his sword and starts to rip his clothes.

Dante says that he can't get enough of the malice emotions that he is feeling, and says that Yami is magnificent. Dante explains how he was bored and tired of everything, and that nothing would satisfied his malice, while remembering everything that he has done to satisfied himself. Dante says that this is were is all starts, and that Yami is going to open up a world that is far more magnificent. Yami tells him to quit it since Dante is creeping him out. Yami says that Dante called Yami that key to link this world to the underworld, but Dante is wrong since Yami doesn't have any kind of power like that. Dante explains that the link is a magic channel called the Tree of Qliphoth and that in order to create it, he need a Dark Magic and World Tree Magic user like Yami and William.
