Shinnok growled like an infuriated bear that had been slapped with a Rancher's hunting rifle. The sword sliced into him, drawing a rising fire to protrude from Shinnok's pierced body, only for Ryu to kick him hard in his horned head and fire off several more fireballs into his body. Shinnok felt the repetitive, quick action injure his god-like body time after time. He quickly got back on his feet. Clutching his body with the right hand he flicked his right hand's fingers towards Ryu Hayabusa, using his magical force over kinetic energy to repeatedly slam Ryu against the hard ground again and again and again. 

He dangerously then pointed his hand as Ryu was slammed the last time against the cold, hard ground and made a twisting motion, attempting to turn Ryu's head off it's body. Shinnok didn't know what the outcome of such a magical gesture would be, however. Maybe he would only succeed in temporarily paralyzing the Hayabusa ninja, appearing to kill him. If that appeared to happen, Shinnok would cast the healing spell on himself another time.
