The massive white furball covered the black silhouette just in time before the Echidna's attack reached.
As the magic attack hit the furball, the explosion one would expect did not happen. Instead, the magic attack seemed to seep into the furball, instantly dying its white fur red.
An angry wail escaped the Echidna when it saw its attack was ineffective.
The massive furball, which had now turned red, spread its fur and revealed the black silhouette inside. Silver concentrated energy gathered on its left, and a dark purple concentrated energy gathered on its right.
The two energies overlapped as the black silhouette aimed it toward the Echidna.
Even before the overlapping silver and dark purple energies descended, the Echidna slithered away to avoid the attack. At the same time, it employed a red translucent scaly barrier for additional protection.
BOOM!
