Sophia's arrival immediately drew attention from everyone around her.
William opened his mouth as if to say something, but his body betrayed him. A tremor ran through him, and the light in his eyes began to fade, dimming like a flickering candle about to go out.
He tried to speak, but even lifting a finger was beyond him. His battered body finally gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.
Sophia froze, her expression locking in place.
Before she could react, a soft glow enveloped William, and his form dissolved into a white light, vanishing into the air.
Metatron appeared beside her, his expression calm, almost indifferent. He glanced at the stunned young witch and said flatly, "Don't worry. He's just fainted."
