My stats jumped significantly. Having a core really boosted everything. Imagine if it was the Dragon Core.
"Lucas!" Raymond shouted. "Behind you!"
Lucas spun around. One of the Veronicas had circled around and her blade was already descending toward his neck.
Time seemed to slow.
In the game, this was where the tutorial would explain combat mechanics.
How to channel mana into your weapon for enhanced strikes. How to reinforce your body with mana for increased speed and durability.
But this wasn't a game anymore.
Lucas moved on pure instinct.
Mana flooded into his legs, and suddenly he was gone. He moved faster than he'd ever moved before.
