Defeated by Cerberus, Grim Virulence
What is the real nature of the undead? To cling to life to fight regardless of the former history that claimed them in the past? Could a being shrouded in depravity be able to express their own soul's will, even through the throes of corruption? In this case, it would seem that they can. Without malice blade and poison is swing in the air, the force of spritural and arcane energies clash against itand an expression of a purpose that managed to transcend death is heard. A difficult encounter indeed, one that the Mystic Blade was ready to meet in the end. With the knowledge gained from Nix's guidance, speed was what needed to overcome this foe...but in the end it was not enough.
Bone and virulence, blade and arcanel, the victor was Cerberus. But the Mystic Blade would continue to move on, regardless of the loss.
There was always a lesson to be learned, and with this one...he had to be faster, he had to strike harder, he had to be better.
