I forced myself to my feet, grabbing my sword again. The sand crunched beneath my boots as I steadied my stance. My body ached, but I wasn't finished yet. I had to outthink her.
I couldn't get close enough to attack her, my wind spell was too weak to do anything to her, and I couldn't keep disrupting her spell since she could use a spell without any hand movement like what she just did.
A smile formed on my face and Mirabel noticed, she had the advantage and the momentum so me smiling was a surprise to her but I had something else up my sleeves.
[War Buff]
[MANA: 50+75]
[STR: 60 +75]
[AGI: 59+75]
[STA: 70+75]
[VIT: 49+75]
[CHA: 140+75]
I activated War Buff and immediately felt a surge of strength rush through my body. My muscles felt lighter, my reflexes sharper, my eyes were focused on Mirabel and in my head I was already in front of her.
