With Shinjiro's strength and the element of surprise, he managed to interrupt Wendigo's spell and slam him into the pavement. The ground seemed to shake from the impact, and an icy rush of air swept out from where he landed. Perhaps the Ice Dance wasn't performed, but he had gathered enough magical power to send a blast of cold out to freeze anyone who happened to be near. Which, in this instance, landed Shinjiro at the epicentre of the wave from his close proximity.

While the sub-zero temperature may not have been anything that a fellow ice-user like Jin would've batted an eye at, a brittle frost began to spread across the Persona user's skin, starting with his hands and quickly covering his body. Wendigo rose once more, and took the opportunity to swat Shinjiro away while the man was momentarily immobile.

This distraction, however, left an opening for the swordsman's strike. His black, hairless chest was wide open.
