Mystical Awakening Online: SotPM [Part 2] (CPN)

Chapter 223: Crippling Wounds

The [hobgoblin] ran straight at us with its bone dagger in hand. Xuelian stood her ground, spreading her legs apart in a battle stance. I lowered myself to the ground and dashed around trying to cut the monster's legs and hopefully weaken it.

The [hobgoblin] raised its arm to hit Xuelian with a downward strike. Bringing her arms up Xuelian crossed her hands blocking the attack. On her status bar I saw her «health» had dropped by about ten percent.

Immediately I dash behind it's legs driving my dagger into its tendons and pulling the knife through.

I backed off to see the damage from my attack while still keeping my guard up.

As I had thought the monster suffered from the status condition [Crippling Wound: Disabled Foot]. This condition caused the victim to be unable to use that extremity until it 6 hours had elapsed, or the condition is healed, which ever happens first.

Because of the [hobgoblin's] size and lack of armor it made causing that status condition much easier.

With that the fight was a cake walk. Aside from a few monsters that would appear and try to attack us, we cleared the mission with fifty seconds left.
