Normal humans would not have been much of a match for Inferno, but Kilik and Xianghua possessed mystical weapons that rivalled Inferno's power. He had collected so many souls that his power was tremendous, and he was able to finally manifest in his true form.Ī trio of warriors, Kilik, Xianghua, and Maxi came to challenge the newly released Inferno. By this time, however, it did not matter whether Soul Edge had a host or not. He finally freed his mind from Soul Edge's influence and was able to separate himself from Soul Edge. Although he succeeded in creating an apparition of his father, Siegfried realized it was not real and began to resist Soul Edge even more. As Nightmare, Siegfried used some of Soul Edge's power in an attempt to resurrect his dead father Frederick. Unlike Cervantes, who had gladly accepted the unholy possession, the young knight was actually attempting to resist Soul Edge's control. As he grew stronger and stronger, Soul Edge noticed that Siegfried's will was increasing as well. With the help of several minions, Nightmare was able to harvest many souls to power Soul Edge. The destruction of one of the twin swords and the release of the Evil Seed had left Soul Edge depleted. Soul Edge transformed Siegfried into the foul creature Nightmare, and used his new host to rebuild his strength. The Evil Seed rained down all over the world, causing chaos and destruction unlike any in recorded history.

Soul Edge used his remaining power to shower humanity with the Evil Seed, which he had been preparing all those years when Cervantes was dormant in Spain. The victory turned out to be Soul Edge's, however, for when Siegfried took hold of the demonic blade, the essence of Soul Edge was able to completely possess the unstable young warrior. Half of his power was gone, though, and Soul Edge was defeated. Realizing that Cervantes was now useless to him, Soul Edge entered Cervantes' body and began a battle with Siegfried. Another young warrior, Siegfried, stumbled upon Cervantes' body. Although she was badly wounded, Soul Edge was nearly destroyed, and the loss of control caused Cervantes to lose his next battle to Taki. During her battle with Soul Edge, Sophitia managed to actually destroy one of the twin swords. This was Sophitia, a sacred warrior who was protected by Hephaestus, Greek god of the forge. There was one, however, that proved to be more than a match for Soul Edge's power. Many ventured to the small port town in Spain that Cervantes used as his base, and Cervantes destroyed them all easily. Under Cervantes' control, Soul Edge often manifested himself as a pair of swords instead of just one. He eventually learned to use his power, and began harvesting souls for the sword to feast on.įor two decades, Cervantes possessed the swords. In the 16th century, Rock's father had bought the sword in an auction, but Cervantes, a pirate in the employ of Vercci, attacked Adams' ship and made off with the Soul Edge.
