Gael tried to win quickly and deadly, or rather, he hoped that his two scars would be enough for Ereg to get seriously wounded.
In fact, his haste was of strategic importance, for if he were to delay even a few seconds, he wouldn't even stand a chance.
However, none of that mattered anymore, for Ereg's blue ghost had already grown to 80%. Sure, it wasn't the full power of the ether, yet. When the blue ghost reached 90% and even more so 100% then the change would be more significant.
"Alright, I destroyed all of your attacks, which means it's my turn now, isn't it?" Ereg smirked before running forward.
He already had too much Ether to channel energy solely into his claws, he could do that, but there was no point right now. Thus, after a few steps, blue flames enveloped his legs, making him faster.
Gael didn't move, he just lowered his sword, waiting for Ereg to reach him.
