Mark's eyelids wavered as steam was produced by the Commander's body.
Only then did he notice his mistake.
The exchanges were depleting his Endurance, Health, and Mana Points.
But what were such exchanges to a beast that fought him and Elisa, the Demon Lord's Pet, and countless Krishrens and other Monsters while crossing the Border?
While Mark's reserves had been decreasing, the Commander's had been recovering.
'Shit-'
As a Berserker, her Strength was incredible. But her Endurance and Vigor were her strongest points. Her stamina was extraordinary. And so was her ability to recover.
Only a Berserker capable of healing and recovering in the midst of battle can jump in headfirst without a care in the world.
"You killed him..." Ani's fist descended on her thigh. Perhaps a way to determine how well she had recovered. "Before I could rid his face of that smugness."
Mark instinctively stepped back.
