When Marcus' mouth was unsealed and he was able to speak again, he looked at William and asked carefully, "Are you going to let me go now? You've already taken my Soul Strength and my dignity, what else do you want?"
Marcus was currently incredibly weak from losing his Soul Strength. Even a gentle kick from Charlotte might spell death for the old man if it hit the right spot.
William thought for a moment. It's like the System said, he's too dangerous to be left alive... what should I do?
The answer presented itself in the form of a stray Superior Tribulation that glanced off of William's shoulder and pierced through Marcus' forehead cleanly. With a dull thud, Marcus fell to the floor, stunning everyone present silent.
"Is he... dead?" Carl asked while Charlotte rushed forward to heal Marcus. William helped too, but their combined efforts weren't enough. Marcus was dead, and with no Soul Strength he wouldn't even leave behind a soul.
