Mystical Awakening Online: SotPM [Part 1] (CPN)

Chapter 61: On the Defensive

I barely got to my feet in time to position myself in front of my attacker. With my stamina bar barely filled a quarter of the way and combined with my poor stats and gear limited my options for a proper counterattack.

Within the last second of the attackers approach he swung his sword aiming for my midsection. The attack was wild and wide, nearly throwing himself off balance with his own attack.

Before his attack even came, I had already started a back step, and as the attack came at me I once again stepped backwards to fully avoid the blow.

The only thing I could do at this point was just wait for my stamina to full recover. My breath was still ragged and labored.

Speed and attack strength even breathing rate and other such things was tied to the stat «Stamina». As «Stamina» lowers breathing becomes harder and at specific percentages attack would decrease.

In the few moments between the attacks, I would wait for my stamina to recover at a few points per second.

My stamina was now at about fifty percent, now my counterattack begins.
