Black Alice

Alipheese Fateburn VIII (Eighth), also known as Black Alice, is one of the main antagonists of the game. During her reign as Monster Lord, she attempted to take over the world. Supposedly defeated by Heinrich 500 years ago, she was kept alive by Ilias. In order to keep Black Alice in line, Ilias threatens to kill her if she makes any action which may go against Ilias’s cause.

Why she’s referred to as “Black” Alice is unknown. This may refer to either her true form or her personality.

Biography
Lilith & Lilim mention that Black Alice entrusted them to lead the succubi to a haven for their own race.

Queen Elf reports to Granberia that Black Alice came to them to join her cause, but declined. Granberia then states that there is a rumor about a character calling allies named “Black Alice”, rebelling against the Monster Lord.

At the same time, she recruits Shirohebi's sister and tells her not to worry about the Monster Lord’s causes. To prove her status as the former Monster Lord, Black Alice provides the lamia some of her power.

After Luka rebels against Ilias, the goddess orders Black Alice to lead the reorganization of the world; the former Monster Lord will crush any human as well as any weak, unfaithful monster that stands in her way, selecting pure, powerful monsters for the next generation.

After Promestein retreats from the Monster Lord’s Castle and Luka chases her to Remina, Black Alice appears and reveals Promestein's secret laboratory, then vanishes.

After Luka and a young Alice defeat Promestein, she attempts to inject herself with a syringe, but Black Alice appears and stops her, stating that it is too early to use that "White Rabbit" injection. After Promestein vanishes, Alice angrily asks Black Alice if she is a mimic, but the 8th Monster Lord radiates power and reveals to be the exact same. She then explains that Ilias saved her from Heinrich's clutches for her own reasons, and that Black Alice serves her just to continue her goals of exterminating the human race. Black Alice then vanishes afterward.

Sometime later, Black Alice and Ilias compliment the "party" starting; Black Alice sent her subordinates to Sabasa and Grangold kingdoms, being the most powerful. Ilias then talks about the "White Rabbit" Promestein attempted to use, stating that her plan may go astray if it goes wrong. Ilias then states that no matter what one drinks, they will not become the same as a god, and even so it isn't as pleasant as one thinks. Ilias then dispatches Black Alice afterward.

After Luka reclaims Sylph, Eden and Black Alice are shown discussing about each others failures. Black Alice just says they already won the war, all they need is Luka's defeat.

Once Luka recovers Undine and has all four spirits returned to his possession, Promestein and Black Alice are shown calling Eden names for her repeated failures. After Promestein leaves, Black Alice jokingly says they should have a tea party with Ilias, but Cupid arrives and says that the tea and cookies would taste bad. Eden angrily orders Cupid to give her report later, but Black Alice decides to leave, not wanting to interrupt. Eden scowls, stating that they don't understand the pain Ilias had gone through.

First Fight
This battle is not hard, but keep one of the spirits summoned at all times. You can summon Gnome for defense and struggle when she uses her "Push" move this will knock Luka to the ground, in order to use her Monster Lord's All-Night Vigil, which will KO Luka very swiftly, or you can also summon Undine to avoid her attacks as well as her Push. Use the SP for meditating, do not use SP for your strong attacks. When her health reaches 1/4 empty, the fight will end.

Trivia

 * Black Alice strongly resembles the Alice from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
 * With Alice I (First) as her ancestor and Alice XV (Fifteenth) and Alice XVI (Sixteenth) being Alice VIII’s descendants, it is possible that Black Alice has a Lamia form. That, or she’s another type of monster altogether. What she is remains unknown at this time.
 * According to Tamamo, Black Alice strayed from her initial path of being a Monster Lord due to an unrevealed “incident” which made her hate humanity.
 * After dealing with the situation in the Succubus Village, among talking with Lilith & Lilim, they will note that a certain hero, who is similar to Luka, “destroyed Black Alice’s love”. Lilith & Lilim are unable to recall the name of the hero but it’s probable Heinrich was involved.
 * Much like the other two main antagonists, Promestein and Ilias, Black Alice’s motives still remain unknown.
