William supported himself using the wooden staff in his hand. His clothes were dyed with blood and his breathing was ragged. The battle against the Hobgoblin Witch Doctor had just ended, and it was a very close call.
Floating not far from him was a golden Beast Core, which proved that he had slain the Class A Monster.
"Congratulations, William," David said via telepathy. "Now, touch the Beast Core and unlock the next stage of your Shepherd Job Class."
William forced himself to stand and used his wooden staff to walk towards the floating golden core.
"Finally," William muttered as he reached out his hand to touch it. Immediately, William was bathed with a golden light. The Half-Elf closed his eyes as he felt a new kind of power wash over his body.
It didn't take long before a system notification broke him out of his daze.
