The shaman goblin started to read a spell to Tom and after 1 second a purple spell flew at Tom.
Tom was prepared for it, he managed to dodge the spell and ran at the Shaman.
The shaman threw a punch Tom used his ability to slow down time and dodged the punch by a small margin.
Tom slashed at the shaman goblin and the shaman goblin roared in pain, angrily using his own blood to cast a spell on Tom.
It was as if this spell had pushed the Shaman too far, but he knew it was worth it, there was nowhere for Tom to run.
"System message curse of pain server suffers exponentially increasing pain from needle poke until the battle is over"
"The special abilities of the system message server kicked in and the time changed to 10 minutes.
The more Tom fought, the more he suffered, but the goblin had no idea that the shaman had done Tom a favor.
The more Tom fought, the more distracted he became, but he kept his focus, as if a little more would get him through a bottleneck.
Tom heard a cracking sound and his senses began to sharpen, becoming more focused and growing as he fought.
The shaman goblin sensed that Tom's footsteps were becoming more uncertain and that Tom was more dangerous.
The shaman goblin decided to cast another spell, one that he would activate by force using his blood.
But Tom didn't know that this was the moment Tom had been waiting for with all his senses. As soon as Tom felt the shaman forcibly activating the spell, he wanted to try something new.
Tom had 25 mana left and he forcibly transferred all the mana to his time ability Tom felt time stop at that moment, he pulled his katana and the shaman blew the goblin's head off from the open part.
Tom had just used all his mana to go up to 120% time slowdown but it had come at a price Tom vomited blood and was very weak.
Tom went to the dungeon boss and looked at his rewards.
Essence of the shaman goblin: increases intelligence and mana by chance
Congratulations, you have won an expert level chest. Normally the prize would be divided into pieces per party member, with novices and high contributors getting a normal chest per person, but since Tom had cleared the dungeon on his own, the prize was integrated into a single piece.
Tom opens the chest and a faint light shines, revealing an earring in Tom's hand.
Amesist earring: when activated it creates a shield that absorbs the next attack 100% (1 hour cooldown)
Tom thought it was perfect for him, he could think of so many potential uses.
Tom used his shaman essence and curiously opened his stats.

Tom saw that his adrenaline ability was active, it used to be gray, but the goblin's pain spell had unlocked it and Tom felt happy.
When he looked at his other abilities he saw that his demon steps had been leveled up, that was why his steps were faster and more confusing to the shaman during the battle.
Tom stood up and walked towards the exit of the dungeon, he had to go and hand in the quest and then he made up his mind to go to the wolf dungeon.
Tom was finally back in the city, he went to the quest distribution building, he told the receptionist about the goblin quest and handed 60 goblin ears to the receptionist.
The reception transferred 300 points and said congratulations, Tom thought a bit and pulled out the gotblin heart and the reception was immediately surprised.
Gotblin said, "Gotblin heart, we can buy this from you for 500 points, it is the main ingredient of high level healing potions" Tom agreed and she transferred 500 points to his account.
Tom looked at the art that caught his eye
Intermediate katana art (800 points)
Intermediate fist kick art (1200 points)
Intermediate sword art (1200 points)
Tom bought the katana art and a series of katana arts flowed into his mind, and on the skill chart
Intermediate level katana art (beginner): you have mastered the katana, when you reach the expert level you can use 1 technique quick slash
Quick slash (a technique that allows you to perform 20 attacks at the same time)
As far as Tom understood, the katana arts went from the lowest to the highest level and they were all part of one art and he wondered what would happen when they were combined.
Tom took the wolf tooth quest to go to the wolf dungeon and went to sleep, he was very tired today and needed to rest or he might be in danger in the dungeon.
He went to his tent and looked around, set some warning traps around the tent and at the entrance as a precaution and fell asleep.
