Missing Something
Ryu slid out of the way of a swinging vine, or at least it moved so quickly that it was truly difficult to pick up on what it truly was. Thick fur? A tentacle? A tendril of some sort? It might have even been an arm moving at extreme speed.
Even so, Ryu slipped and shuffled forward, moving in the midst of the swinging vines as though he had eyes dotted all across his body, there was nothing that he couldn't see and his movements were no longer hindered by such speed.
When he was fighting against the panther spirit, the reason he kept getting caught up wasn't because of his mind, his mind was plenty fast enough to see through the movement and his eyes were the strongest part of his body. While these "vines" looked like blurs to almost anyone else below the Sky God Realm, to Ryu they practically moved in slow motion.
