Shinnok coughed blood from the edged weapon slicing near his neck, a blow that would have been fatal to a Human being. Since Shinnok had stolen the ninpo spell from Ryu earlier. . . he remembered to use it right about now, that he was safely away from Ryu. Ryu would have noticed him using the same spell. . . Frustratedly closing the wounds on all his body. Shinnok noticed with amusement that Ryu Hayabusa could have been the best Kombatant in the Realms. Conjuring a skeletal arm and claws, he soared the giant projectile at Ryu Hayabusa, all the more using his his magical skills to slam Ryu downward to the ground.
