"Dust Release..."
Ōnoki flew backward almost on instinct, forming hand seals as he went. A veteran fighter, he could clearly sense the malice rolling off Shinji!
Shinji grinned.
"Dust Release, huh? Interesting..."
Clap!
Shinji pressed his palms together, then parted them slightly, forming a large triangle between his thumbs and hands.
Ōnoki fell squarely within it.
