[If Mara seems a touch distracted, surely he has good reason. His hands are trembling, as if there's an ornery blacksmith fighting him with all his might.
He throws a punch, but his fist finds nothing.]
Give him back? As if it were that easy!
[He zips past Dan Heng to pick up his sword, looking less and less put together as the fight drags on.]
His soul is MINE. Your karma, bound to his for eternity, means I shall claim you both!
[He brings his sword up, ignoring the blood pouring out of his broken skin so he can cleave the ground. As one would expect, the air pressure sends the earth exploding and a good chunk of rock in Dan Heng's direction as well.
Something becomes clear, then: Blade's body is resilient, but he's not nearly as strong as his past life. What makes Mara dangerous is what, precisely, he can do with his vessel's own life... as well as the lives of people who are weaker than he is.
Not waiting to see if his attack hit, he charges forward with more Wind-augmented strikes.]
