comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would the opponent use such a self-destructive tactic that harms the enemy by a thousand while damaging oneself by eight

paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wound on his destroyed shoulder was even more ghastly, almost exposing the stark white bone inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body was covered in injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he laughed, nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughed heartily, beyond comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Won this nearly
