Soul Eater Ranks

"Did you honestly believe that I'd shown you my maximum speed earlier?" Cassius asked condescendingly, once again materializing next to William. "For something presumably centuries old, you sure are naive."

"YOU—!"

Before the Soul Eater's actual physical form could leave William's destroyed body, Lilith's cold edges penetrated it and appeared out the other side. Somehow, the Soul Eater's massive presence had also been pierced straight through!

"My Lilith here is more special than most weapons, you see," Cassius said. He nonchalantly positioned himself beside the shocked Soul Eater's illusory blue form—one that was halfway outside William's body. "She's not only proficient at dealing physical damage," he continued, shoving Lilith even deeper into the scary-looking Soul Eater, "soul damage is also possible. And you, the purest kind of soul, are especially susceptible to the danger she presents to everything in existence."
