O...kay. Base on the description, here's how the instant death aura works: it insta-kills nearby players of significantly lower level than the level instance of the particular Soul Eater, with the aura of the highest level Soul Eater having priority.

Ergo, it's not an RNG mechanic where a Soul Eater has a 1% chance to insta-kill on hit, but rather a deliberate mechanic that zones out low level players.
