Three aspiring agents of Death come together (eventually) at school and learn to be better collectors of souls. For two characters, Maka and Black Star, they are on a mission to create an ultimate weapon for Death, and to do so, they need to collect 99 souls of humans and one witch, which they feed to their weapons. Their weapons also can become anthropomorphic entities with strong personalities that must match their weapon-masters soul energy. Otherwise, wielding them is nearly impossible. Our third character is none other than Death’s son — Death the Kid — a reaper with a powerful pair of guns as his weapons.
On the other side of the castle, away from Silver Eve, a few witches plot in a jail cell. A wizened old man draws many glyphs on a young man and promises that he will turn into an ooze and be able to escape this cell. What he fails to tell him is that there is a horrifying leech guarding the outside of the castle walls, and the man fuses with the leech to create a large monster that invades the castle town during the festivities. The Knights are deployed but have a difficult time fighting the many arms of the monster, and most witches cannot figure out what type of monster they’re fighting. As the giant leech feeds on blood, it grows stronger and covers more of the city, seeking out even more victims.
