章節 28: Chapter 28 - Beasts of Dungeon Ground 43
When Daichi looked up he saw three giant angry apes looking down at him. With eyes red and spit drooling between their teeth, the giant apes snarled at him. They were the size of an adult human.
Daichi didn't make any sudden moves and used 'observe'.
[LV.24] [Long Armed Ape]
HP: 3681 CP: 2430
[A primate with particularly strong and long arms. These apes are savage and usually hunt in the evening or nights. They travel in packs of 3 or 4. They are very territorial creatures and would attack and kill anything that trespasses into their domain. They use their fists to smash their prey. This Ape came here due to the sounds of the bat it heard earlier. This Ape wants to kill you for entering its hunting area.]
[LV.23] [Long Armed Ape]
HP: 3247 CP: 1988
[LV.23] [Long Armed Ape]
HP: 3350 CP: 2020
'OH man! These things have double the health and chakra points I have. And their bodies look pretty strong. I need to go for the necks and joints. Cut their limbs and make them useless.'
As Daichi was thinking about his next move the apes jumped down and quickly surrounded him. They were much faster than they looked. The ape with the level 24 went at Daichi.
Before he could do anything, a fast powerful fist plowed into Daichi's gut sending him flying back.
[-203 HP]
"Ghaa.." Spit and blood flew out of his mouth. He crashed into a tree and slumped down into the ground.
'Ahhh…Damn it that hurt!... If it were me in the old world I'd be a paste right now. That monkey just took out 200 hp with one punch. The speed and strength of these things are ridiculous. If I take much more like that... I'm a goner for sure.'
Daichi slowly got up. Watching the prey it just smacked away get up, the level 24 ape got even more aggressive. It charged at Daichi while the other two stood on either side and shrieked.
The ape sent a punch just as powerful as the one before but it missed its mark. Daichi dodged and tried to cut the ape with his tanto but he missed his target as well. Both ape and human attacked and dodged each other. The ape had the advantage of long arms and had a larger reach. Meanwhile Daichi had a sharp short sword as his weapon.
Seeing as he was getting nowhere Daichi decided to go a different route. He subtly took out a smoke bomb and threw it at the apes face. The moment it made contact and exploded, Daichi using sprint skill rushed the ape and slashed.
Daichi's attack made contact but he felt that it didn't do much damage. The ape jumped out of smoke and looked at the wound on its right arm. A shallow diagonal slash running down its elbow. The fact that something it viewed, as a prey, managed to wound it made it angry.
"Rooaar…" It roared into the night and pounded its chest. The 2 accompanying apes roared and pounded their chests as well.
'An intimidation tactic. Well… it isn't not working. I'll give them that…'
"Fine… you want it your way… you got it." Daichi shouted at the apes as he put his sword back in his inventory and equipped his fists with knuckle dusters.
'If I can't cut you, then I'm gonna pound you into the ground.'
This time both Daichi and the ape rushed and met halfway. Both fist colliding and sending a small wave of air around them. Daichi had used 'strong hit' and boosted the strength and speed of his punch and still he came up slightly short. His arm was slightly numb but he pushed himself and kept attacking.
As the fight progressed Daichi was assessing his situation. 'Rage and strength are its advantages. But it has no sense of strategy. The wild punches are getting easier to predict and evade. And that's my advantage.'
'A prolonged fight isn't to my benefit. Need to end him and deal with the other two as well. If they decide to attack me together I'll have no choice but to use some of my points... Let's see what happens.'
Daichi evaded the punches coming his way and dodged all of them and got in close. He used the skills sprint and strong hit to increase his speed several fold. Daichi sent a fast, precise blow to its neck. Due to the sudden unexpected speed increase, the attack hit its mark. It completely crushed the ape's throat and windpipe.
[-842 HP]
Not even wasting a fraction of a second Daichi took out a kunai and stabbed it deep into its skull through its eye.
-2321 HP
[Skill Vital Strike's level has risen by one.]
The giant ape fell backwards and hit the ground with a thud. A few seconds later it's remaining HP was down to zero and it dispersed into smoke.
[Enemy killed.]
[+1300 Exp.]
[+195 Exp.]
Watching their brethren get killed the two apes were in a frenzy. They rushed at Daichi and punched his head and chest. Both attacks landed but the next second the person they attacked turned into a log.
Suddenly one of the apes had a sword pierced through its back.
[-1025 HP]
[Enemy Negative Status - Wounded buff in effect.]
A blue box appeared showing the damage he dealt.
Daichi stabbed the sword all the way to the hilt and let go. He jumped backwards and landed a few feet away. The ape tried to take the weapon out but failed each time and shrieked in pain. The last one went for Daichi.
Daichi created several clones while running towards the ape. The newly made clones distracted the simple minded animal and it attacked each one it saw. As it attacked and passed through several clones, suddenly it felt a punch striking the back of its head.
Daichi kept randomly appearing around the creature and attacking it. Ducking and weaving through the wild swings of the frenzied ape, Daichi kept on the assault. A slash from a kunai on its joints. A fast powerful punch to the head and legs.
It tried to jump away but Daichi didn't let go. He reduced its health little by little and when the ape had less than 700 HP he saw his chance. He took his kunai, plunged it deep into its neck and kept slashing it. He activated 'vital strike' and within a few seconds killed it.
[Enemy killed.]
[+1200 Exp.]
[+180 Exp.]
Daichi looked at the last one stumbling around. Its health points, less than 1000. Daichi took the kunai and held it in a reverse grip. Rushed to the ape and slashed it all over.
After a few moments his last enemy here was also dead.
[Skill Vital Strike's level has risen by one.]

'So a battle is considered training huh… whatever. My stat growth has been stagnant for the last couple of months with just training… Good to know that high stakes fighting increases my stats.'
Once the skill buffs ran out Daichi was wheezing and gasping for air. His limbs started to slightly tremble. He slowly walked through the trees and settled down in between two rocks. It was like a small cave barely able to hold one person. Daichi sat down and took some much needed air.
'The only reason I wasn't seriously harmed and was able to kill those things was because of the skill buffs. That speed increase due to sprint skill and the strong punch skill are the only reasons I haven't lost much health. But it drained my stamina.'
'But even then I was only able to barely dodge them and I couldn't match their raw power head on. And something tells me there are animals much stronger here. If I could use chakra to increase my strength and speed it would help me but that technique requires at least water walking level chakra control.'
Daichi took a deep breath and looked at the map. For the moment he didn't see any red dots near the area. He started meditating to recuperate. He rested for almost 3 hours. He was once again at full strength when he resumed his exploration of the jungle.
It was dawn. The morning dews dripped from leaves and the first appearance of light in the sky before sunrise. As Daichi was walking through the jungle he suddenly sensed an Ill feeling.
[A new skill is created due to a particular action.]
[Through continuously sensing the danger intent of your enemies, the skill 'Danger Sense' has been created.]
[Danger Sense - Passive(LV.1): A skill created from the natural survival instincts. The ability to sense the killing intent of your enemy in a certain range. The higher the skill the greater the range. Above level 60 this skill can detect even enemies who have masked their intent.]
[Effects: Current range - 10 meters.]
Before he could even look at the map something small jumped from the midst of the tall grass leaves. It swiped its claw at his face. Daichi leaned to the side and used a kunai and slashed at his new enemy.
'Observe'
[LV.20] [Saber tooth cat]
[HP: 1354] [CP: 1025]
[The saber tooth cats inhabit areas with dense vegetation. They are carnivorous animals with long, curved saber shaped canine teeth. They hunt during the dawn and in packs. Once they set their sites on a prey they never let it go until it's dead. It hunts by stalking its prey, followed by a sprint or a leap. They attack soft areas of the body such as the belly or throat where biting deep generates a killing blow.]
Daichi quickly read through the information presented. He cursed in his mind for not paying more attention to the Minimap. He was already armed with a dagger and a kunai.
Daichi could see several areas of the grass moving against the wind all around him. Indicating that he was surrounded. Daichi looked at the map from the corner of his eyes and he counted 12 red dots.
He used 'observe' and could see that all of them ranged from Level 20 to 23
[You have sensed killing intent.]

[Skill Danger Sense's level has risen by one.]
'I get it!!! I'm in danger. Stop spamming me…!!!' Daichi was slightly annoyed as the notifications appeared.
As if they were given an invisible signal, all the saber toothed cats started attacking together. Daichi quickly used substitution and disappeared. He threw several shuriken and controlled them with chakra threads.
His speed and accuracy had increased and all hit their marks killing their targets.

The jungle cats scattered and hid. Their hunting method was to take their prey by surprise. Daichi replaced the kunai with his short sword. Armed with a dagger and his tanto he waited for the enemies to come to him.
His goal was to learn and train to face multiple opponents at the same time. He focused and his senses were heightened. He tried to sense their chakra and thus their location.
As he was in the midst of trying to ascertain the enemy locations the attack began. The jungle cat in front went for his throat and the one behind him aimed at Daichi's neck. A couple of others rushed to bite down on his legs.
Daichi's senses told him exactly where each one was. He swiftly slashed all around him. He strengthened his legs and stomped on the ones that came from below. Daichi cut them down 2 at a time as both his hands almost became a blur.
Due to there being about a dozen attacking him, several got through his guard and bit and scratched his body. But Daichi made sure they were non vital areas. Daichi kept up his relentless attack and the jungle cats were just as ruthless.

Several notifications popped up but he ignored them all. Daichi slashed and severed the neck of one while he plunged his dagger deep into the belly of another. He threw the ones trying to tear his legs off him and when they came back he stomped on their heads crushing their skulls.
He kept slashing and hacking away and after several minutes no enemy was left. Daichi kept looking around and when he didn't see any, he looked at the map. No red dot appeared near him.
He had killed all of them and didn't even realize it.
Daichi was cut up, bleeding and in pain but he had a mad grin on his face. He didn't realize it at the time, but the thrill of this fight, the adrenaline coursing through his veins and the feeling of extreme danger… all of it excited him.
This dungeon… It had awakened Daichi's hunger for battle.
[You have leveled up.]
As he looked at the latest blue box his smile only widened.

章節 29: Chapter 29 - Dungeon Boss Fight - 01
"Ow… ow… ow… God that hurts..." Daichi was moaning in pain as he cleaned and bandaged his wounds. Once the adrenaline ran out and he came down from his battle high, Daichi felt the painful effects of the cuts all over his body.
"Damn that hurts. If I see those little devil cats again, I'm gonna skin them…"
'Then again I did make the dumb decision to fight them all at once. And I didn't even try to get away...Yeah… Maybe not my best strategy.'
Daichi was hiding behind a large bush hidden from plain view. He periodically kept checking his Minimap to make sure he wasn't taken by surprise again. Several hours went by as he rested. Meditation helped his healing and recuperation. Once he was fully healed and rested he resumed his journey.
The sun was high in the sky. The temperature rose far above that of normal as the sun reached its peak. 'Even the climate of this dungeon is weird. It was really cold last night but now it feels like I'm walking in the desert at noon with no clothes.'
Daichi made his way to a small lake shown on the map. He took a look at the map and saw no enemies near him. Daichi relaxed a bit and reached into the lake. He took a handful of water.
'Observe'
[WATER]
[A tasteless, colorless, odorless liquid. Composed of chemical elements hydrogen and oxygen. No contamination particles detected. Safe for consumption.]
'Ok. Looks like I found myself a water source. Excellent.' Daichi happily brought his hands to his lips and drank the water.
"Ohh that feels good." He took another handful of water and when Daichi went on for the third time, his danger senses warned him.
[You have sensed killing intent.]
He jerked back as fast as he could and the next instant he saw a giant crocodile snapping its jaws close where his head was a second ago.
"Fuck… This thing almost took my head off. 'Observe' "
[LV.24] [Iron skinned crocodile]
[HP: 2970] [CP: 2761]
[This large crocodile is native to the freshwater habitat in this dungeon. They prey on animals coming to or near the lake. Their skin is dense and as tough as iron so sharp weapons will not be useful against them. They are a very aggressive species of crocodile and opportunistic Apex predators. They have enough bite force to tear through even metal.]
Daichi quickly backed away as he read the information. He jumped and got up on a tall branch and observed the creature.
It had green blackish scales and a long tail slowly wagging from one side to the other. Daichi watched as the crocodile slowly backed away and into the water. In just a few moments Daichi lost sight of it.
"If you think I'm gonna come to you, then you're gonna be waiting for a long time."
Daichi turned around and left. He planned on killing it but only after he gained some more levels.
Daichi jumped through the trees. He felt the wind on his face and had a smile. It was his dream ever since he came here to travel around like a real ninja. Hopping on trees and walking on water. As Daichi traveled some distance he encountered several creatures.
Daichi spent over six days exploring the dungeon. He encountered various creatures living in the different terrains and successfully killed them.
The bloodthirsty bats that lived in a giant dark cave attacked him at night while wild saber tooth cats that made the grassland their home attacked him at dawn.
The strong savage apes that lived up in the trees assaulted him during the day and night. Daichi also fought with vicious wolves and strong Bisons. He also found ways to draw out the crocodiles living in the depths of the lake. He would use some meat with a strong aroma he stored in his inventory and patiently wait near the lake. Once the reptile came to eat he would fight and kill them.
He got injured several times a day but he always persevered and kept at it. Daichi was extremely cautious. He would always wait for his body to heal completely and his chakra and stamina to become full before engaging in enemy contact.
During the few times the animals rushed to him during his rest Daichi would find ways to escape. His shuriken jutsu, chakra threads, tree climbing skill and several others increased in level. His stats have also grown along with his level.

During the last 6 days Daichi killed over 190 beasts and it gained him 6 more levels getting him to level 24. He was just a few thousand exp away from another level up.
An explosive growth that was attained through several life or death battles. Along with levels Daichi gained a couple of new skills to his ever growing list of abilities.
It was night time and Daichi was currently battling against two giant bats. His new skill chakra sense aiding him in successfully finding the creatures of the night.
Daichi threw several shuriken at two bats and while one of them evaded the other wasn't so lucky. The force with which Daichi threw the shuriken allowed it to pierce through its body. The other folded its wings and evaded the projectiles and then disappeared into the night.
Daichi closed his eyes and concentrated. Several seconds passed by with silence and no movements. The next instant Daichi jumped up and twisted his body so that he was upside down to face the bat that was clawing where he stood a second ago. With a single fast slash Daichi bisected the creature and smoothly landed on the ground.

[You have successfully eliminated all the bloodthirsty bats in this dungeon.]
[You have sensed killing intent.]
"I know you're there. Come out." Daichi said, looking at the top branches of a tall tree. Out of the shadows came a giant red ape. It was far larger than the ones before.
[You have encountered one of the three bosses of this dungeon.]
[LV.30] [Great Ape King - Ozark ]
[HP: 5032] [CP: 6847]
[The ruler of all apes and one of the three bosses of this dungeon. It has red fur with white streaks running down the middle giving it a ferocious yet regal look. It is far stronger than all the others of its kind. This Ape is capable of using chakra to enhance its limbs and thus makes it more dangerous. A ferocious and savage king. It wants to kill you.]
'Holy hell. This thing is 6 levels above mine. And it can even use chakra. If I make even a single mistake...I'll die in this place.'
Daichi had sweat rolling down his face. The presence of the enemy boss was on a completely different level than the others.
Daichi blinked for only a split second but when he opened his eyes he saw a fist headed straight for his head. The great king Ozark blasted Daichi's head into bits. The next second, Daichi's body turned into a log.
Daichi had a cold sweat running down his neck as he looked at the scene from a distant tree. 'If I had been late in using the substitution jutsu for even a fraction of a second, I'd be dead right now.'
The ape lowered its fist and turned around. It looked at Daichi without showing the slightest bit of surprise at what happened.
'It found me even though I'm hiding behind these covers and no sound was made… And it looks like this thing is much smarter than the rest. A direct confrontation isn't to my advantage. Not like last time. And something tells me this thing won't just let me leave… If and when I make it out of this dungeon I'm gonna need to learn the shadow clone jutsu. ASAP.'
Daichi dropped several smoke bombs and moved. 'Stealth and speed will be my greatest assets in this fight. Instead of a frontal assault I'll use an encirclement attack strategy.'
Daichi was suddenly taken out of his thoughts as the ape king landed right in front of him. Daichi barely evaded the giant fist that came his way. Tightening the grip on his daggers he used 'sprint' and started attacking from all directions.
The ape king Ozark had a strong physique. The cuts Daichi inflicted on its body were shallow. It swung its long arms with enough force to blow apart a giant sturdy tree. Daichi evaded all the attacks aimed at him. Tired of not catching the enemy, it tried a different tactic.
The ape king raised both its arms up high in the air and then slammed them into the ground. It added chakra to enhance its already fearsome power. The strength behind the attack cracked and ruptured the ground for several meters in all directions with the ape at its center.
Daichi, who was in the middle of attacking it, was caught off guard by the destruction and the ruptured ground made him lose his balance. The ape waiting for its chance jumped and attacked. A swift powerful fist was thrown at Daichi.
It was only due to his increased senses and speed that Daichi was able to evade the attack. But even then he was not completely successful. The punch clipped his right shoulder and sent him spiraling several feet away. Even though Daichi evaded most of the damage it was still enough to dislocate his right arm.
[-240 HP]
[Negative Status - Right Shoulder dislocated.]
The red notification status popped up showing the damage. Daichi crashed into the ground and rolled a few times before stopping himself. He didn't even get the time to scream in pain as the ape was already on him. He rolled out of the way as the giant monkey stomped where he was a second ago.
He got up and ran up the tree trunks and the ape followed. Daichi used 'sprint' and focused solely on escaping for even a few seconds. With one arm useless he would die if he tried to fight it.
After a minute of dashing through the treetops and using some of his smoke bombs, Daichi lost his enemy and he quickly assessed his arm.
'Damn that fucking monkey…' Daichi looked over his arm. 'There doesn't seem to be any serious damage except for the dislocation. But it's a good thing I know how to fix it.'
Daichi bit down on the handle of his kunai and then held and adjusted his right arm in a certain way. He then rammed his arm into the trunk of a tree, snapping his shoulder joint back in its socket.
"Ghnnn…." He bit down hard and groaned into the kunai. After several seconds the pain faded and Daichi took several deep breaths. The negative buff notification disappeared. He gently started moving his arm. After a couple of minutes he was able to move it as normal.
'This isn't working. I need to weaken its momentum. I'll go for its legs first.'
Daichi formed a plan in mind. He could hear the roars of the dungeon boss not far from where the fight began. He made a few preparations for his second round.
He started slowly making his way back. He grabbed and held two rocks about half as big as him in both hands and rushed the ape from behind.
Daichi aimed one of the rocks at its head. Sensing the incoming attack the ape turned around and blocked the big rock with both hands. The next second it felt a crushing blow to its left knee. Daichi slammed the second rock into its leg and broke it's knee. He used the first attack to block the ape's line of sight for the second attack.
[-546 HP]
[Enemy Negative Status - Wounded buff in effect.]
Enraged, the great ape pounded Daichi into a nearby tree.
[-402 HP]
"Ghaa…" Daichi spit out a wad of blood from his mouth. He coughed for a couple of seconds and took in large gulps of air as the punch took his breath away. He got up and got out of the way as the ape landed near him.
Daichi ran around his enemy attacking it from all sides. Slashing its joints and muscles. Daichi mainly focused on the legs to reduce its movement speed. The ape tried to jump away but with one leg crippled and Daichi's continuous attacks it couldn't escape.
Minutes went by and his efforts seemed to be gaining fruit. After a couple more swipes from his sharp dagger the ape Ozark fell to its knees.
[Enemy Negative Status - Crippled buff in effect.]
Daichi put away one of the daggers back into his inventory. He could see the HP points slowly reducing. He clenched his fist and ran straight into his enemy. With the boss immobilized, Daichi was looking forward to exchanging blows to test his strength and limits.
Both human and ape started fighting vigorously. Daichi deflected most of the blows because of their strength but some landed on his body. He returned quite a few of his own as well. The strength buff skill along with his speed and physique was nothing to scoff at. Daichi was several times stronger than someone his age had any right to be.
[Skill Strong Hit's level has risen by one.]
Each punch that landed made the other only fight harder. They both knew that only one would leave this place alive. Both their health and chakra were slowly but steadily declining.
Daichi slashed the apes' chest and tried to inflict a deep wound. It slammed its fist into Daichi's back bringing the boy to his knees. The ninja in training quickly stood back up and sent a swift powerful uppercut to the monkey king's jaws.
The sounds of powerful blows were heard throughout the jungle. Waves of wind blew everywhere from the collision of their fists.
[Skill Physical Endurance's level has risen by one.]
Despite the dangerous ordeal Daichi was enjoying himself. His lips curled into a small smile as he traded blows with his enemy. Not even the punches that landed and made him spit blood took that smile away. With the moon light shining down at him and his bloody and bruised appearance, that smile gave him a deranged yet glorious beauty.
As the fight progressed Daichi was analyzing his opponent and looking for his chance to strike. The ape king favored its right arm to attack and left to defend. Daichi used this information to his advantage.
As it raised its right arm to attack, Daichi quickly stabbed his dagger into its right shoulder joint. And then trapped its left arm in several ninja wire with shuriken at end. He used a nearby tree as an anchor to hold the shuriken in place. With both its arms disabled, it had no way to defend against Daichi's powerful attacks.
Grabbing the dagger from his inventory he sliced the apes' eyes. The ape roared and tried to break free from its binds but Daichi made it impossible. Daichi sent a fast double ear clap strike to the ape intent on rupturing its eardrums. A somewhat cruel but effective tactic.
[Skill Vital Strike's level has risen by one.]
Successfully blinding and disorienting his enemy, Daichi kept attacking the vital spots of its body. The neck, joints, and other soft areas. Fast deep cuts and powerful blows rained down on its body. Daichi kept attacking relentlessly for several minutes.
The ape king's body was powerful. It weathered all of its enemy's strikes for some time before succumbing to its wounds. And soon the battle came to an end.
