Trauma was resurrecting his hate and thus his anger, which in turn poured out in red aura.
Although this happened, it did not stop his dantain from showing more cracks on the walls.
These cracks would heal up as a result of the Blue rune of hope that granted healing properties, but would then crack up again.

like the roots of a tree, blue cracks started to appear all over his body.
Barbara saw this. She knew what it meant. Mani was overloading. He had given it his all, but the power was too much for his body to handle.
Mani raised his head slowly and painfully to her, "Com...Commander..." he stammered, "....I need help. IGBI!"
Barbara frowned. She was hoping to fully utilize Mani before using Igbi. However, as things were, it couldn't be helped.
