An old man, the Edge Master—adviser and teacher of the
Ling-Sheng Su martial arts—found Kilik's unconscious body in the temple. He set
the corrupted temple on fire and carried Kilik home. After two days, Kilik
finally awoke, and Edge Master told him the truth: Kilik and Kali-Yuga had been
infected with the Evil Seed, the source of which was the demonic sword, Soul
Edge. The only thing protecting his sanity was the Dvapara-Yuga, and he could
never remove the holy mirror from his shoulder at any time. Wrought with grief
that his life had come at the sacrifice of Xianglian's, Kilik trained with Edge
Master for three years, trying to learn to control the evil within himself and
Kali-Yuga. Once his training was complete, Edge Master gave him the final test
of destroying the Soul Edge, and Kilik embarked on that quest to purify himself
and his weapon.

On his journey, Kilik traveled to an Indian Port to request
a pirate ship to take him where he wanted to go. He met the Japanese pirate of
the Ryūkyū Kingdom, Kyam, who instantly took a liking to him, and granted
Kilik's request for boarding, provided the ship's captain, Maxi, agreed when he
returned. As Kilik waited for Maxi, a mysterious ship approached, which resulted
in an attack, led by Astaroth. Maxi returned and Kilik assisted him during the
attack. Astaroth managed to remove Dvapara-Yuga, causing Kilik to lose sanity
and attack Maxi. Maxi suppressed Kilik long enough to put Dvapara-Yuga back on
him and they continued to fight, but every member of Maxi's crew was left dead,
and Maxi decided to aid Kilik in his quest. Later, the two met Xianghua, a
member of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Guard, who aided them in their travels.
(Although neither Kilik nor Xianghua knew that Xianglian was her long-lost
sister.) With Maxi and Xianghua's help, Kilik stormed Ostrheinsburg Castle and
defeated Nightmare, although Maxi was thought to be killed and the Dvapara-Yuga
was destroyed. Kilik figured out he had learned to control the demonic powers
within him and Kali-Yuga as he kept his sanity after Dvapara-Yuga was
destroyed.

After Nightmare's defeat, Xianghua and Kilik were challenged
by the demonic entity, Inferno, within a demonic void. Kilik was too weak to
fight, so Xianghua fought in his stead. During the battle, her keepsake MediaWiki:Badtitletext transformed into the holy sword, Soul Calibur, allowing her to defeat
Inferno. In the end, however, she was forced to leave the sword behind in order
to drag Kilik to safety as the void collapsed.

### Soul Calibur 2

Afterward, Kilik returned alone to Edge Master's hermitage, continuing to
perfect the technique of neutralizing and purifying evil energy. Four years
later, he sensed the return of Soul Edge, and set out on another journey to
defeat Soul Edge once and for all, so that he could atone for the sins he
committed the night of the fateful Evil Seed. Along the way, he encountered
Xianghua again. They argued over their difference of opinions (namely, they
both argued that it was their duty to destroy Soul Edge this time), but they
still traveled together in the end.

### Soul Calibur 3

While purifying a town infected with evil, the two
encountered Zasalamel. Kilik engaged Zasalamel in battle, but lost. Before he
lost consciousness, Kilik heard Zasalamel tell him that if he challenged Soul
Edge unprepared, he would be trapped in its dark abyss. He awoke a month later
in Edge Master's hermitage, carried there by Xianghua. Sensing a terrible
energy within his wounds, Edge Master had performed a special ritual to treat
them. Kilik realized that he would not be able to seal Soul Edge with his
current strength. Thinking to himself, he placed his hand on his chest and
realized that the fragment of the Dvapara-Yuga was gone.

Edge Master then ordered Kilik to begin training. He
surrounded himself in a dark aura, similar to a person affected by the Evil
Seed. Armed with only the Kali-Yuga, Kilik realized that his target should be
the evil energy within Edge Master. Within three months, Kilik managed to
strike Edge Master with a purifying blow, enough to free his teacher's mind,
but at the same time, seriously injuring him.

Edge Master told Kilik that even though he still lacked
skill, and that a pure spirit strikes only at evil without harming the body, he
noted that Kilik had made good progress in a short time. He handed Kilik
another fragment of the Dvapara-Yuga and a letter from Xianghua. She wrote that
she would improve on her skills and regain her courage, and she believed that
together, they would be able to destroy Soul Edge. With these words, Kilik set
out west to once again pursue the evil.

### Soul Calibur 4

After finishing his training, Kilik realized that Soul Calibur was an entity
that was no different from Soul Edge. Their powers had to be balanced so they
could eliminate each other.

He and Xianghua had been traveling together for quite some time. He knew
that she had feelings for him, as he had feelings for her, but he could not
return them because she looked almost exactly like Xianglian, the woman whom he
looked up to as an older sister. Every time Xianghua smiled at him, he was
reminded of the fact that he murdered Xianglian with his own two hands.

As the two of them got nearer to the cursed city of Ostrheinsburg, Kilik
planned on leaving Xianghua when the time was right. He convinced himself that
he must bring balance between the two swords.

Soul Calibur 5

The light of the moon filtered through a single window. A
smile gracing his lips, Kilik caressed the cheek of the sleeping Xianghua one
more time and layed down his cherished pendant beside her; the stone that was a
keepsake of his elder sister.

Surrendering to his destiny, he had decided to interfere in
the battle of the source of evil, Soul Edge, and the spirit sword, Soul Calibur,
to find a way to stop them. It is a harsh path; one where he must abandon all.
He lamented it for the young woman who loved him dearly, Xianghua. She had
accepted Kilik and his terrible fate entirely, embracing him, wanting to be
together no matter what...

"It's because you have accepted me, that I can live
with my destiny."

Before the stroke of dawn, there was no longer any remaining
trace of Kilik. To atone for his own crimes, he will protect the world of his
beloved. These were all events at the end of the 16th Century.

During all that time he spent trying to close the astral
gates, Kilik touched the memories of the souls that wander Astral Chaos which
allowed him to learn both their styles and that of those who defeated them. The
weapons were apparently re-materialized with the help of the "power of
chaos".

## Endings

### Soul Calibur

Despite losing its physical form, the demonic blade still burned fiercely
and prepared to scatter itself throughout the world again.

Kilik chanted quietly but with resolve, "Om Vajradharma Kilik."
The Dvapara-Yuga that protected him split apart and extinguished the evil
flames. Over the course of many intense battles, Kilik mastered the skill to
tame the evil within him. Not one to rest on his laurels, Kilik subjected
himself to more intensive training.

### Soul Calibur 2

Kilik channeled the evil energy into the Kali-Yuga, for it absorbs all
spiritual energy, good and bad. The evil aura, thought to be limitless in
power, gradually waned and vanished. Then Kilik disappeared—perhaps to embark
on a quest to extinguish the evil. And he would likely remain on that quest,
until the day when all the sins of the past are exorcised.

### Soul Calibur 3

Kilik and Xianghua were in a beautiful field. As Xianghua admired the view,
Kilik showed her the grave of the woman who saved his life. Now that everything
was over, Kilik wondered if they did the right thing. "Of course it was
the right thing!" Xianghua said, "Besides, this is only the
beginning!" As the two began to leave, Xianghua lost her balance.

#### Input

Kilik caught her, and now that they were face to face, a
confused Kilik was unsure of the correct way to ask Xianghua to stay with him.
"I don't know how to say this, and I don't understand it myself either,
but I want you to stay with me." "That's just like you... but that's
just how I want you to stay." Xianghua replied as they hugged.

#### No Input

Xianghua fell to the ground, and Kilik laughed. "You're
hopeless," Xianghua said, as Kilik helped her up. Maxi then arrived and
called out to them. As Xianghua and Kilik ran up to Maxi, he asked them if they
were ready to go. As the three friends walked away, Xianghua pulled on Kilik's
arm and said, "I'm not going to give up on you that easily!"

### Soul Calibur 4

Kilik watched the defeated Algol as he realized that he was
unable to control the power. "Spare me your pity. I, Algol, have no
regrets." With these final words, Algol dropped Soul Edge and became
covered in crystals. Kilik began to absorb all of Algol's power into his staff.
As Kilik walked away from the area, he said that he would do everything he
could to control this new power and that he had no other choice.

The text-only epilogue reveals this: He disappeared alone.
The two powers forever rested in peace and never stirred again.

## Critical Finish

**Ling**
Sheng Su: Dynastic Phoenix:
Kilik prepares his Critical Finish with the words "Ling-Sheng Su Bo."
He kicks and jabs his opponent to the ground with his rod. Then, he jumps high
up in the air with the cry of a phoenix, saying "this is the
end !", and he slams his rod onto the opponent, causing golden
feathers to suddenly appear. He ends by saying, "Nothing personal."
