Gauss felt the cold energy flowing from the ogre leader's body rapidly merging into his ghost-transformed bloodstream.
Although he had just finished a fierce battle, he did not feel exhausted. On the contrary, the influx of this energy made him feel very full.
This allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, every time he used the Ghost Form in conjunction with the Hardened Scales state, there were often significant side effects upon release.

He glanced at the ogre leader who had just fallen to the ground.
The dust dispersed.
It lay on the ground, body convulsing violently.
With each twitch, bluish-black foul blood gushed from a gaping wound the size of a bowl on its back.
The energy within it had completely spiraled out of control.
The purifying energy Gauss injected was still surging within its body.
He reached out to recall that surge of Holy Water, then raised his palm slightly.
