One second is all it took.
Crow just watched as White poked his cane forward in the air. It was a very light poke. But he could feel dense spiritual energy at the end of it. Only if he could figure out what that energy is going to do before it happens.
Crow tried to rebuild his speed and wanted to dodge.
Energy shot out in invisible ripples. The ripple effect is eerily similar to the ripple style, but it is also different to its core. Crow felt the ripples of energy each one that felt like an ellipse, wash over his body.
The energy he was about to build up was dispersed once again.
Crow didn't suffer any damage, but whatever he wanted to do became useless. He is surprised, but that didn't stop him. He proceeded further with his attacks.
