When a monster adopts a "Battle to the Death" reaction, it becomes an unstoppable force driven by sheer determination and an unyielding will to fight. Upon engaging in combat, the monster displays a ferocious and relentless demeanor, attacking its foes with everything it has. Retreat is not an option; the monster is committed to the fight, disregarding its own safety in pursuit of victory.

As the battle rages on, the monster's focus remains unwavering, pressing the attack even when wounded or outnumbered. It ignores opportunities to flee or surrender, instead doubling down on its efforts to defeat its opponents. This reaction indicates that the monster will continue to fight until it has either slain all of its adversaries or succumbed to its injuries, making it a formidable and dangerous opponent on the battlefield.
