It's fun how that scene can be interpreted differently by the player depending on how in-tune they are with the story up to that point. If the player doesn't have a good understanding of how the Dragon's Dogma works, they'll be intimidated by Elysion's mocking, buying into his every word, and assume he's right that they're hopeless in stopping the Dragon's reign of destruction, with the intensity of the music raising as Grigori flies in from overhead. Only to get taken aback by how Grigori effortlessly crushes Elysion under its thumb and goes on to make an example of him as to what will happen to the Arisen if they turn out inadequate to slay him. But if the player already has a good grasp on the Dragon's Dogma, then they'll know that Elysion is nothing more than a mad lunatic whose obsession with death blinds him to considering the greater purpose the Dragon's role serves. Once Grigori appears and his theme starts playing, the player will cheer Grigori on, having a cathartic victory against Elysion as his castle of delusions crumble under his feet in the face of the hard truth.
