Ciel was fighting Crimson Moon.
Ciel had fought the self-sealed Arcueid many times, and each time, she had managed to gain the upper hand.
But fighting Crimson Moon was incredibly strenuous; she had even fallen into a disadvantage.
When Arcueid used Marble Phantasm, she was still relatively rational and rarely employed indiscriminate attacks.
