As Fred began to charge up his attack, the air around him crackling with electricity, Ken's system alert flashed urgently in his mind's eye.
[Warning!]
[Your opponent is preparing to launch a Lightning Bolt attack at you]
[Attack Speed: 2.5 seconds]
[Recommended Action: Evade or Counter]
Simultaneously, a quest notification popped up
[New Quest!]
[Survive at All Costs]
[Reward: 200 Exp, 100 Mana]
Ken's thoughts accelerated, his mind racing with strategies and countermeasures. "If he's planning to use the Lightning Bolt skill, I need something to counter its effects. But what can I use? I don't have a shielding skill that could protect me from his attack."
In a flash of inspiration, Ken's mental blockade lifted. He recalled a crucial page from his Lightning Skill book, a highlighted skill that was very essential for defense.
