Chapter 17: Second Job Advancement (4)

I jumped off the rope and cast Mana Guard. Mana Guard was a very important skill, a must-cast protective skill for bossing purposes. The skill allowed the MP bar to be drained upon receiving the attack instead of the HP bar. Of course the MP bar must be constantly full then, else the HP bar would take a cut. Being a mage, my MP bar was higher than my HP bar. I also peeked into my inventory and saw that I still had three Advanced MP Potions. One Advanced MP Potion could replenish my MP by 7000. This was the strongest MP Potion that I had in my inventory, and I could not buy more because I did not have enough money. Sigh.

When Red Asura noticed me, he turned around and approached me with slow but menacing steps.
