Khan remained alert. He still didn't know much about the cursed knife, and his senses had proven unreliable. Yet, the final confirmation arrived from Fergus himself.

The mana Fergus had spread throughout his body began to leak out of his skin without saving any of it. That energy was freely dispersing, returning the Major to his original appearance.

As the mana left, Fergus' sturdiness plummeted, and his knees gave out, making him fall sideways. He slammed lifelessly on the ground, lifting a cloud of dust.

Khan felt convinced by then, but his paranoia screamed at full power now. He used his right leg to turn Fergus up, ready to run away at the first twitch. However, nothing happened, so Khan planted his foot on the man's chest.

The lack of defensive techniques and protections allowed Khan's stomp to pierce through skin and bones. His shoe destroyed Fergus' still heart, killing any doubt. The man was truly dead.
