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.
[Enemies killed.]
+1300 Exp.
+195 Exp
[Skill Death blow's level has risen by one.]
[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.
[Skill Vital Strike's level has risen by one.]
[Enemy killed.]
+2500 Exp.
+375 Exp.
[You have leveled up.]
[You have successfully eliminated all the Long Armed Apes in this dungeon.]
[You have defeated the boss Great Ape King Ozark.]

章節 30: Chapter 30 - Dungeon Boss Fight - 02
Daichi sat down and closed his eyes for several seconds. His mind replayed the battle he just went through.
'Finally… I'm getting stronger and stronger each day... One day I'll be powerful enough to walk the path I want without any fear.'
He looked at the new skill he got as the reward for defeating the first boss of this dungeon.
[Ozark's Resilience - Active(LV.1): The power to resist and be resilient even during overwhelming odds. When the health points fall below a certain threshold, this skill increases certain stats for a limited period of time.]
[Effects: +2% to Strength, Vitality and Agility stats for 20 seconds when HP falls below 20%.]
[Cooldown time: 8 hours.]
Happy with a new skill and the level up, Daichi went to sleep. Since he eliminated all the creatures that lived there, he wasn't worried. He slept for over 6 hours and when he woke up he felt refreshed. His HP, CP, SP, MP have all been restored.
He checked the status of his dungeon quest.
[Enemies killed:] [195/201]
'6 more huh… Looks like I'll be done with this dungeon soon.'
Daichi checked his map. He looked all over the place and soon found the location of the remaining 6 opponents. There was an enemy near the lake. And 5 others were grouped together some distance away.
'Should I go for the one that's all by itself or the ones in packs. Based on the map the lake is near. I'll get the crocodile boss first then deal with the rest.'
Daichi made his way to the lake. Due to his map he had the exact location of the boss monster that resided there. He didn't go into the water but instead planned on drawing the crocodile out.
The lake was located near a cliff. Daichi got his hands on a handful of paper bombs before the dungeon run. He only used a few during the first few days when he was overwhelmed. He currently has 4 remaining.
Daichi took out two paper bombs and placed them on two giant rocks. Once he set the timer for 30 seconds he dropped the rocks into the lake. They would drop to the bottom of the lake right where the next boss of the dungeon was.
Daichi jumped back and gained some distance between him and the soon to be battlefield. Before long two loud explosions rang out from the lake seconds apart. As Daichi looked on he could see the water beginning to churn and twist into a whirlpool.
[You have sensed killing intent.]
Suddenly, without warning a strong water blast shot out from the lake. Daichi quickly evaded to the side and looked at the destruction. The water blast tore through rocks and trees leaving nothing but wrecks.
"Maybe I should have saved this guy for last…" Daichi looked back at the lake. The water bulged for a second before blasting apart. A giant crocodile emerged and made its way to the surface. It was several times larger than Daichi.
[You have encountered one of the two remaining bosses of this dungeon.]
[You have sensed killing intent.]
['Observe']
[LV.31] [Water Tyrant - Krodos ]
[HP: 5520] [CP: 7011]
[The apex predator living beneath the lake. This crocodile is the largest and most vicious of its species. It killed several other crocodiles and became the ruler of these waters. It can use chakra attacks and has a powerful water affinity. Despite its large stature it is quite agile. When disturbed it is known to be extremely violent, often flying into rage and killing everything in its path. The water beam it shoots from its mouth has the power to shred most targets. A ruthless tyrant and the strongest of the 3 bosses of this dungeon. It wants to kill you for disturbing it's slumber.]
[Note: Killing this boss rewards +1 Level.]
The reptile boss Krodos set its eyes on Daichi once it set foot on land. It wanted to kill the one that woke it from its sleep. Despite the giant body it had, it was extremely fast.
Daichi jumped up and barely avoided getting eaten. When he was in the air Krodos's tail came with surprising speed and struck Daichi across the torso.
[-514 HP]
The attack not only sent Daichi flying but also cut him up badly. Red warning boxes popped up.
[Negative Status - Bleeding.]
"Aaahhhhh... It's scales are like blades." Daichi gritted his teeth as he somehow balanced himself in midair and managed to land on a tree branch. Daichi held his bleeding belly. He quickly took out some bandages and wrapped them around his wounds.
Daichi didn't get the chance to do anything else as a fast jet stream of water shot the branch he was standing on. Daichi fell but before he hit the ground he threw a shuriken with a wire attached to another tree and swung himself to safety.
The angry crocodile followed Daichi. It was determined to kill the little human. It smashed through trees and followed Daichi into the jungle leaving a path of wide destruction.
Daichi was jumping from one branch to another. 'From the observation skill's information, this thing has a good water affinity and fighting it near the lake would be a bad call.' Daichi's plan was to bring it into the middle of the forest where he would have more advantage.
'This thing just tramples on anything in its path. Even the giant trees and rocks are getting smashed. It's scales may have a strong defense but it's belly must be soft like the rest of them. But how exactly do I attack the belly of this thing?'
Daichi thought of several strategies and discarded the most impractical ones. 'Whatever the case maybe, I'll have to make him use up his chakra. Get him tired. Then things will go a lot smoother.'
Daichi created several clones and used them to distract the water beast. It swiped its tail and tried to kill the afterimage clones. It shot several water blasts trying to kill the real Daichi.
Before long Daichi lured the beast far away from the lake.
"Grrrrrr….." The beast growled. It sucked in a breath of air and bellowed loudly.
"GRRRAAAA…" The jungle shook from the angry roar. It ran and swiped at the tree Daichi was standing on. With just one strike from its leg, the tree snapped. Daichi aimed several shuriken and kunai at its eyes. But Krodos evaded them all. They bounced off his hard iron like scales without even leaving a scratch.
'Sharp weapons won't work. So my dagger is useless. Against an enemy like this it's best to use blunt brute force… But if I punch that thing, it's scales will shred my hands. And I don't know any powerful offensive jutsus…'
'I could use my points…'
'No. If I use points to increase my strength everytime I run into trouble, I won't survive the real world for long. And I'll be out of points when I really need them…'
'Damn it...What should I do?'
Daichi was evading the attacks of the crocodile boss and was in a bind. He couldn't think of a way to attack his enemy. That is until he saw them.
Two rocks a little over half of Daichi's size. They were wrecks from a larger stone Krodos destroyed earlier. Suddenly a new idea formed in his mind. It wasn't a solid plan but it was the best he could think of at the moment. For his plan to work he would need a minute.
Daichi lured the giant angry boss away from the area and once they were some distance away he used smoke bombs and 'sprint' to escape as quickly as he could and return to where he saw the two rocks.
'I can use these to attack. But I just can't grab and try to smash that monster with them. I won't be able to inflict the maximum amount of damage that way…'
An idea formed in his mind. Daichi grimaced at what he was about to do. Or more specifically about the pain he was about to experience. He took a piece of cloth, rolled it up and put it between his teeth.
He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. He clenched his fists and focused. He concentrated his chakra on both hands. Specifically below the elbow. And after a few seconds he opened his eyes. They reflected a determination someone his age seldom showed.
Without wasting anymore time Daichi punched both rocks. His intent wasn't to break them but to wear them like gloves.
BAM… "Aaahhhnnnn….." Daichi groaned in pain as he managed to bury his hands, elbow deep in the two rocks.
[-168 HP]
[-161 HP]
[Negative status - Broken fingers, Bleeding.]
A couple of fingers on both hands were broken and the sharp edges of the rock tore into his skin on both his arms. Tears ran down his face as he gritted his teeth in pain. But he never made a single sound. A few seconds later all the pain he was feeling turned into anger.
Daichi turned around in the direction of the crocodile. He had a vengeful vicious look on his face.
[A new skill is created with a specific action.]
[Through continuously projecting your murderous intent, the skill 'Killing Intent' has been created.]
[Killing Intent - Active (LV.1): The ability to project your will and intent on your enemies. The user of this skill exudes pure killing intent and has it affect their opponent to the point of paralyzing them with fear. At higher levels this skill can give the victims visions of their own death. ]
[Effects: Enemies with a 3 level gap between the user are paralyzed for 2 seconds.
Enemies under 4 levels below the user are struck with terror and paralyzed for 4 seconds as well as 3% reduction of their physical stats.]
He had blood running down his lips, his teeth grinding against each other. Along with bloodshot eyes and veins popping up on his skull, Daichi exuded a truly fearsome image.
He didn't even bother reading the description of the new skill. Daichi's sights were set on killing his target. Without wasting time he ran to his enemy. He reached the boss monster in a few seconds. He jumped high and from behind attacked. He fell down and punched its head with both hands. A powerful double blow that had enough force to slam its skull onto the ground.
[-388 HP]
"Take this you giant fucking lizard."
Daichi subconsciously let his chakra flow into the rocks, coating them with it. So it didn't break apart when he used it as a weapon. Daichi punched its head a few more times before he jumped away.
Krodos shook its head and looked around. Once it spotted Daichi it roared and shot a water blast from its mouth. Daichi evaded using sprint skill. His speed increased and he attacked the giant crocodile from all directions.
"Think you're so tough…!!!? THINK AGAIN!!!."
Daichi used as much force as he could when he punched the beast. He kept attacking and evading the large reptile. Dozens of strikes landed on its large body. Several notifications popped up as he fought the boss crocodile.
[Due to the extreme physical training, you have obtained +1 STR.]
[Due to the extreme physical training, you have obtained +1 AGI.]
[Due to the extreme physical training, you have obtained +1 STR.]
The crocodile used its tail to smash Daichi several times but he always successfully evaded. Daichi's stamina was slowly depleting due to the use of sprint skill but he was reducing the health of his enemy as well. The damage from the powerful bashes was taking its toll on the large beast. It tried to to kill its tiny enemy with all its might. Daichi after evading another strike from its tails and legs jumped and smashed one of its eyes.
He used 'strong hit' to boost his power. He destroyed its left eye.
[Due to the extreme physical training, you have obtained +1 STR.]
[Due to the extreme physical training, you have obtained +1 VIT.]
"Grrraaaa…." Dungeon boss Krodos roared in pain. It thrashed about and destroyed everything around it. Daichi, evading it's raging frenzy, kept attacking. Even with chakra coating the rocks they started to show signs of cracking. After several more strikes Daichi used a powerful double uppercut on it's jaws.
That was more than the rocks could take. The force of the punches broke them apart around the boy's hands. His fingers bloody and a mangled mess. Both his hands below the elbow were torn in several places and bleeding.
[+1 STAMINA]
Daichi ignored his wounds and pain and with shaky hands took the last two paper bombs. He tied them to a shuriken and when the beast opened its mouth to roar, Daichi activated the bombs and threw them into its mouth.
They reached their target and went deep inside the beast. After a couple of seconds the sounds of two powerful explosions rang throughout the jungle. The body of Krodos bulged several times due to the force of the explosion and then shrunk back down.
The mighty tyrant Krodos fell down with a loud thud and in a few seconds it turned into smoke and disappeared.
[Enemy killed.]
+3000 Exp.
+450 Exp.
[You have leveled up.]
[You have successfully eliminated all the Iron skinned crocodiles in this dungeon.]
[You have defeated the boss Water Tyrant Krodos.]
[Reward: Skill 'Water Style - Hydro Blast Jutsu'.]
Thanks to the level up, Daichi regained half his lost stamina and health points and healed small wounds. Even though his negative status of bleeding and broken fingers were removed due to the healing, he was still in no shape to face another opponent. Especially a boss one.
Daichi planned on resting and healing himself completely before starting the next fight. But unfortunately fate had other plans.
"Oh you gotta be kidding me." Daichi exclaimed looking ahead.
For in front of him stood the remaining enemies of this dungeon. 4 wolves and their leader. A huge alpha wolf and the last boss of the dungeon.
