"What the hell " this was what I thought when I entered the boss room . I saw Hobgoblin lying on the ground lifeless it's dry as if it's soul a has been sucked completely but then my gaze fall on the throne where sited a green figure glowing red eyes with sinister smile while licking his lips as if looking at its prey. It has a staff and a bone necklace. It bodies emitting a blood purple ominous aura .

" System what the hell is this ? "I asked without any fear surprisingly

'Damn this is serious I have to go all out from the start ' i thought

" What are you laughing at ugly bastard are you so eager to die " i taunt him

" Kekeke die by a pathetic human like you even ant are stronger keke"

" Let's see if you can smile later i kick your ugly face " i taunt him again

However this time it didn't say anything instead walk towards me and stopping a few metre infront of me ready for battle .

The dungeon was alive with tension as I faced the Goblin Shaman, a creature known for its cunning and dark magic. The Shaman, standing infront of me was a sight to behold, with its green skin, jagged teeth, and a staff adorned with twisted bones. It cackled, summoning dark energies that crackled in the air, ready to unleash chaos upon Noah.

Battle (pov)

Noah standing there his eyes without any fear and unwavering ready to take down the monster standing .Noah knew he had to act quickly. He can only use Fireball, Mind Acceleration, Flash Step, and intermediate sword skills.He also had time limit before this creature evolves .He focused his mind, feeling the surge of power as he activated:

" Mind Acceleration"

Allowing him to perceive the world in slow motion and running thousand of scenario in mind. The Shaman's movements became clearer, and Noah could see the moment it began to channel its magic.

Without hesitation, Noah unleashed a 'Fireball', a bright orb of flame that shot toward the Shaman. The creature responded with a wave of energy, summoning a shield of dark magic that absorbed the impact. The explosion sent sparks flying, illuminating the forest. The Shaman laughed, taunting Noah, and began to conjure a series of lightning bolts.

Noah knew he had to dodge. He activated Flash Step, blurring into motion as he darted to the side, narrowly avoiding the first bolt that struck the ground where he had been standing.

However, the Shaman was relentless, sending another bolt in his direction. This time, Noah was not fast enough; the lightning struck him, sending a jolt of pain through his body. He stumbled, feeling the burn and the shock coursing through him.

"Arghh damn it hurts" He winced in pain

With his body aching, Noah quickly regained his composure. He reached for his sword, its blade gleaming in the dim light. He activated Mind Acceleration again, using the enhanced perception to anticipate the Shaman's next move. He charged forward, closing the distance, and executed a series of swift sword strikes, each one aimed with precision. The Shaman, caught off guard, raised its staff to defend but was struck by Noah's blade, causing it to howl in pain.

The Shaman retaliated, launching a wave of dark energy that hit Noah squarely in the chest. He fell back, winded and injured, the pain radiating through him. Desperate, he fumbled for his potion, a shimmering liquid that promised to restore his strength. He uncorked the vial and drank it in one swift motion, feeling the warmth spread through his body, revitalizing his energy and endurance and another one which quickly help him regain his mana back .

Fueled by the potion, Noah surged back into the fight. He unleashed another Fireball, this time with greater intensity, catching the Shaman off balance. The explosion sent the creature reeling, and Noah seized the moment. He dashed forward using Flash Step, closing the gap between them. With a final, powerful swing of his sword, he struck the Shaman down, the creature collapsing in a heap, its dark magic dissipating into the air.

'Thud'

As the dust settled, Noah stood victorious, his body battered but unbroken. He had faced the Goblin Shaman and emerged triumphant, proving once again that determination and skill could overcome even the darkest of foes. The room , once filled with the echoes of battle, now lay silent, a testament to his strength and resilience.

" Haah haah I was lucky I had a system or i would have died i really need to become strong" breathing heavily lying on the ground his clothes were a mess let's check the rewards .
