Unlike all other reinforcement stages, giant scars were something special, and intimate to Gael. If he used them, it meant that he was recognizing that the opponent could kill him.
Before Ereg hadn't used Ether, and his ghost hadn't started turning from green to blue one, Gael wouldn't have even considered such a thing, but now everything had changed.
Neither white ash nor black one could help him win, as well as other sizes of scars.
Ereg's Ether changed everything because dealing with a force with absolute freedom was an extremely difficult task. The only way to deal with such a force was to use extreme measures.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
The space shook while one scar after another opened on Gael's body. There were seven in all, and each time, the aura around him grew stronger, instilling fear in anyone watching the battle or within a few kilometers of him.
