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

Chapter 308: Staying and Swaying Blades

My sword and Yuwanyx's blades were locked together. I could feel his strength; that pressure alone was intense.

'He's strong, can I hold my own against him. Can I overpower him. I don't think I can.

I glanced over at Xuelian who was holding her own against Phenyvone. As I glanced at them, they appeared to be even, in power, skill and «Health».

All I could think now, was 'Can I continue to do this.'

"You're doing well Tsubasa, very well. However, there's one thing," Yuwanyx said as he leaned in close.

I looked at Yuwanyx as his sword continued to slowly push me back. Each second it felt like I was closer to being pushed away.

"Tsubasa why are you hesitating, why are you holding back?"

"What, what are you talking about?"

"I can feel it, I can feel your hesitation, fear, and anxiety emanating from your sword."

"...," I couldn't say a word. Was he right, was I fearing something?

"I can feel it in my sword, through my arm, into my soul. Your stance, the way your sword shakes, the pressure behind your sword, your facial expression. Something is holding your sword back."
