In an instant, the air around Eratz crackled and erupted. His aura surged like a tidal wave, slashing through the air with a visible, jagged edge.
The red marks on his skin began to glow and slowly vanished, fueling a savage energy that radiated outward in a blinding flash.

For a fleeting moment, her lips parted in realization.
"What's that?… I don't feel a soul in this... this isn't aura," she whispered, her voice filled with disbelief. "It's... pure, physical strength."
