alright. this is way more alphys's thing than mine, so bear with me here. you know how human souls persist after death, but monsters don't? that's because of something called "DETERMINATION". the idea is monsters don't have that... i'm guessing because we have magic? or are magic. again. really not my field.

i dunno how you did it, but you tapped into that determination to bring yourself back to life. and also give yourself that whole power boost. the downside is... that's not sustainable. monsters's bodies aren't meant to handle determination. even if you'd won against wrath, even if you hadn't gotten hit again, you'd probably have died. ...again.
