Chapter 108: 4th Dungeon Completed

Daichi looked at the two imposing enemies guarding the ninth floor of the castle.

'It doesn't matter how much power one has if you can't hit your opponent it's no use. So I'll go for the one who's the speed type first. I need to distract the black one while I deal with the white general.'

All these thoughts passed through Daichi's mind in a second. After quick careful thinking he decided to fight the white armored general first.

Daichi tensed and the moment he made the first seal to create the shadow clone, a sword was coming straight for his head.

Daichi's eyes widened and from his perspective everything slowed down. He saw the sharp gleaming edges of the sword about to bisect him in half.

'If I don't dodge it, I'll die!'

Daichi flooded his body with chakra and used the sprint skill in combination with his body flicker.

The white general brought his sword down and cut through Daichi. But the next instant the cut Daichi vanished like a mirage.

Daichi was on the other side of the room. His heart was pounding in his chest. Sweat was dripping down his forehead as he looked at the white armored ninja.

'Fuck! Holy fuck! If I had been even a moment late I'd be dead I haven't felt like this since my battle in the first and second dungeons.'

At that moment Daichi's senses alerted him to another enemy coming near him. Daichi jumped to the side and evaded the fist. The spot Daichi stood on cracked and slightly caved.

Daichi skidded a few feet back and looked at the second enemy. 'If the other one's speed is anything to go by then this guy's power must also be insanely high.'

Daichi kept both his enemies in his field of view. 'I need to decrease the white ninja's mobility... I have an idea but I can't do it alone. And I can't fight both of them at the same time. I need to create a few shadow clones.'

Daichi slightly narrowed his eyes and discreetly took several smoke bombs from his inventory. The moment he dropped them on the floor he saw the white speedster ninja coming for him. Daichi was ready for him this time.

He evaded the sword strikes and at that moment the the smoke bomb went off around them. Daichi retreated and created 4 shadow clones.

"You guys know what to do!" Daichi spoke as he kept his senses on his enemies.

"Yup. Leave it to us." The clones replied and disappeared.

The smoke was blown away and the white general rushed towards Daichi. The boy took a dagger and a short sword and readied himself. Both of them began their fast paced battle.

Even though the enemy had a higher level, due to Daichi's many passive skills he was able to match the general's speed. Both Daichi and the armored ninja evaded strikes from the other and tried to cut their opponent.

Daichi was completely focused on the ninja in front of him. He trusted his clones to keep the black armored ninja busy and to enact the plan. Daichi looked at the blue embers burning in the enemy's eye holes.

'It feels like I'm fighting death itself. What a frightening presence'

Daichi evaded the sword swings and parried the next couple that came after. Half dozen strikes were sent each second. Each swing and sword strike the pair unleashed was precise and deadly. It also was a precursor to the next strike and so on.

A chain combination attacks. But if a strike is sent that the enemy can get through completely or leaves the person exposed it would be the end.

'Both of us are mostly dodging the attacks but sooner or later one of us will make a mistake and the other will capitalize on it. The one who makes the first wrong move gets destroyed.'

A precise, deadly fierce and fast battle. This was Daichi's fight with the white general.

On the other side of the room several small explosions could be heard. The clones were keeping the other general occupied.

Daichi had something else up his sleeve. He was slowly leading the enemy to the middle of the room. As the fight continued, suddenly for a second the white general seemed as if his limbs were petrified and he struggled.

Daichi smiled as he saw the general restrained by numerous chakra threads. Daichi used his speed and vanished from the enemy's view.

The general coated his sword with chakra and cut through the strings. At that moment he sensed an attack coming from behind. The general quickly turned around and parried the sword strike. And sent a fierce counter.

The white general twisted Daichi's sword away from his body and rushed at him. Once he got close the general stabbed his sword through Daichi's chest all the way to the back.

Daichi looked shocked and dropped his sword but the next instant he exploded in a sticky substance and completely covered the general. The general struggled to get free but the adhesive properties were too strong.

The real Daichi rose out of the ground a few meters away from him. He went through several hand seals and fired several earth dragon bombs at the retrained ninja. The clone joined Daichi and started using fire style jutsu.

'The plan worked. 3 clones distracted the other general while the fourth created a Sticky Syrup Clone and then waited for an opportunity. The moment it restricted the general's movements I rushed to his blind spot and substituted with the clone. And when the clone was destroyed the syrup completely covered him, immobilizing him.'

Both Daichi and the clone unleashed powerful ninjutsu and before long a notification appeared.

[Enemy Killed.]

+2300 Exp.

+345 Exp.

[Enemies killed: 53/55]

'Time to finish the other one.'

Daichi didn't waste anymore time and joined the other fight that was going on. Due to the enemy's strength the clones had to fight from a distance. They used genjutsu and ninjutsu but were unable to do serious damage to the black armored ninja.

Daichi put the sword and dagger back in his inventory and equipped his knuckle dusters. He rushed at the ninja and attacked the joints and weak spots of the enemy.

'Man, this guy is powerful. Even with my strong blows his health is only getting reduced a bit.'

Daichi increased his speed and attacked from several directions while the clones tried to keep the general tied up.

Due to the Light steps skill Daichi was able to adapt to the terrain quickly and he used this to his advantage. Daichi's clone sent a fireball which was overpowered by a water wall jutsu by the enemy.

King Egrien sent several quick flying sword slashes from where he stood. One of the clones dodged but the other got dispelled.

'This guy is no joke. He quickly gets out of genjutsu and he's able to fight me and my clones without much problem. I can see now why this guy is the king of this place.'

Daichi created 2 new clones and ran at the enemy. Both the king and Daichi engaged in a fierce battle. Both were evenly matched in strength and speed but due to Daichi's clones he had the upper hand.

As the battle continued both of them slowly chipped away at the other's health. During the fight Daichi deliberately left an opening for the king to strike and when just before Egrien struck Daichi, he substituted with a syrup clone.

The strong adhesive covered the king from head to toe.

'Now's my chance.'

As Daichi moved in for the kill, he suddenly felt uneasy. He immediately substituted himself with a shadow clone. The next second a long sword pierced right through him.

Daichi looked at the king that emerged from the ground. And the one coated in sticky syrup vanished in a puff of smoke.

'This guy He used the same strategy as mine. He lured me into a false sense of security to finish me off That was too close. If it weren't for my senses I'd be a goner.'

Daichi and his 2 clones surrounded the King. Daichi used the swift skill to increase his speed and the battle resumed.

'I just need another shot.'

Daichi parried and slashed at the enemy's strikes. He made sure the king's attention was on him. At that moment several chakra threads and ninja wire immobilized the king. Before he could escape lightning flew through the wires paralyzing him.

Daichi jumped back and went through several seals. 'This will drain most of my chakra but I have no other choice. Since he's not a shadow clone I have to go all out.'

'Water style - Water Dragon jutsu.'

The water dragons emerged and swallowed the king. With the water pressure and lightning coursing through, King Egrien was petrified. His health slowly depleted.

The chakra of Daichi and his clones were also quickly being drained. It was a matter of what would give out first. Daichi's chakra or the king's health.

Daichi concentrated and compressed the water dragons around his enemy to increase the pressure several folds.

'If he survives this, then I won't have any choice but to use my stat points.'

'Come on Come on!'

At last the battle came to an end. Daichi was the first to have his chakra be depleted. He fell to his knees and took several breaths of air. Daichi looked at the standing king.

'Damn it.' Just as Daichi was about to increase his chakra points something happened to the king.

The king stood still even after the lightning water dragon disappeared. It was only several seconds later that the king slowly took a step forward. But that step was his last. He fell down and was reduced to smoke. The compressed water dragon completely crushed every portion of his armor and drained away the king's heath.

Daichi was on his hands and knees taking large gulps of air as he heard the blue system messages pop up. He didn't care about any of them at the moment.

Due to the level up his stamina was half restored. Daichi took another breath of deep air and took out his comfy small bed.

'Time to get some shut eye.'

He went to sleep completing the Kikyo Castle dungeon.
