[Battle Arena]

(Soma returns to the boss battle area and finds J there)

J: Ohhh...

Soma Cruz: J, what's wrong? You look pale.

J: D-don't worry... just now... all of my memories came flooding back.

Soma Cruz: What!?

J: It seems that your dark power triggered the return of my memories.
Just like I guessed... I have quite an extensive history with Dracula.

Soma Cruz: I thought so...

Julius Belmont: My real name is Julius Belmont...
I'm a descendant of a clan that has fought against Dracula for ages.

Soma Cruz: And the person who destroyed Dracula in 1999 was...

Julius Belmont: Yes. It was me... but there were others who assisted me...

Soma Cruz: So, if Dracula is revived again, just as it is written in the prophecy...

Julius Belmont: Then I must destroy him! It is my destiny.

Soma Cruz: You haven't met a man named Graham yet, have you?

Julius Belmont: Graham? Oh, you mean that missionary, right?
I met him a little while ago. But when he saw my face, he turned and ran.

Soma Cruz: He told me that he was Dracula.

Julius Belmont: I did sense Dracula's powers at work within him...
but it's difficult to believe that he's Dracula... rather...
I think... No, forget it. It is nothing more than a hunch.

Soma Cruz: Huh?

Julius Belmont: Assuming that he is Dracula, I won't be able to kill him yet.

Soma Cruz: Why not?

Julius Belmont: I need my weapon.

Soma Cruz: Your weapon?

Julius Belmont: Yes. It's a whip that was handed down to me. It's called "Vampire Killer."
In 1999, I sealed it in this castle to weaken his spirit and magical powers.

Soma Cruz: That means it's in this castle somewhere?

Julius Belmont: Yes. And I know exactly where it is. I'll go and get it now.

Soma Cruz: Alright. Please be careful.

Julius Belmont: Pray that my hunch proves to be wrong. Farewell for now.
