While locked in the brutal, unrelenting combat with the Masked Man, Dame had noticed a profound, unusual characteristic about his opponent: the energy surrounding the Cerebus warrior was strange, to say the least.
Conventional magical principles, such as Qi and Mana, although originating differently, seemed to share certain fundamental, immutable principles, rules that the world naturally flowed by, involving conservation of energy and measurable expenditure. Therefore, the core question became: was it truly possible for the Masked Man to possess an effectively infinite, self-renewing amount of Mana, specifically pure Light Magic, that allowed him to ignore these laws?
Could this elite Cerebus warrior genuinely constantly heal and regenerate while Dame was forced to expend his own energy, tiring out? It certainly appeared to be the case, as Dame felt himself growing progressively more tired, weaker, and slower with every grueling exchange.
