29->At the Battle of Schwarthafen, [[ClassicalMovieVampire Vlad]] was cut down by Jerek Kruger, leader of the Knights of the White Wolf, and the army of Sylvania was defeated by the forces of the Elector of Middenheim. Yet within a year, Vlad von Carstein was leading another army, and Kruger's smashed and bloodless body was found at the foot of the Middenheim spire. At the field of Bluthof, von Castein fell [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice with five lances through his body]] and the Count of Ostland's Runefang blade lodged through his heart. Three days later, he was seen ordering the crucifixion of prisoners outside the town gates. At Bogenhafen Bridge, a lucky cannon shoot took von Carstein's head off. Within the hour, the cannon crew were dead and the village was overrun. The soldiers of the Empire were gripped with terror in the face of so seemingly invincible a foe.

32->As the crowd howled and hollered around him, Lord Commander Cyrius caught his [[CombatSadomasochist laughing opponent]] by the throat. Grinning a mirthless smile, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown he pounded Lucius into the scarlet sands of the arena until there was nothing left but a red ruin of broken bone]]. The Emperor's Children had lost their favoured duellist, but gained a memory to be savoured for years to come.\
33Over the next few weeks, Lord Commander Cyrius underwent [[BodyHorror a hideous transformation]]. His mane of hair fell out in clumps, his eyes changed colour, and the copulating figures that decorated his armour writhed and flowed to depict a host of laughing Daemons. To the commander's mounting horror, dark lines appeared under his flesh, pushing outward with each passing night until they formed a maze of scar tissue. His screams were a source of great interest to his fellow Emperor's Children, but [[LackOfEmpathy none came to his aid]]. In the Lord Commander's fate they saw the hand of [[GodOfEvil Slaanesh]] at work. Some swore that Cyrius' shrieks changed in tone, becoming ever more like maniacal laughter.\
34The next gladiatorial event saw Lucius stride the sands once more, his power armour adorned with [[AndIMustScream the tortured, moaning face of Cyrius]]. The heavily scarred swordsman had been reborn, [[CloneByConversion and the Lord Commander had been taken in his place]].

67->Now, All Might was not incompetent (at least not in this retrospect) and was, in fact, completely aware that Midoriya's demise was entirely possible. However, after spending several months training the boy, he had come to the conclusion that this was not a problem. Not because he disliked Midoriya, quite the opposite, but rather because Midoriya was immortal so him dying was entirely okay and actually really normal.
