A new day arrives.
The faint light became brighter as the day started and the animals had already begun to wander.
These creatures of the tower have already started their day and the race for survival has already claimed new victims.
In the 3rd floor, a kid's silhouette was cautiously moving through the bunch of weeds, trying to go unnoticed as he was looking for the enemies in this floor.
He has already found some hints that indicate that they are bigger than the dogs in the previous floor. He noticed it because of the deep footprints in the dirt and the bones he found in the way.
"These footprints look bigger, but not as much as I thought they would be. Maybe there were wolves or another creature like those? I guess, huh." As the first floor where they were separated in their strong points Naruto thought that it might be the same here because the size didn't change as much as when he arrived at the second floor.
"Mm, but this place looks the same, it doesn't get bigger as I thought." Being a bit confused, Naruto wasn't sure about his conjecture. He was looking at the surroundings but the only difference he noticed was the fact that there were no walls.
With doubts and nothing to lose, Naruto accelerates his pace and starts to actively look for them. His training was always painful and not having anything to beat to vent annoyed him.
Having his limbs inflated like balloons while he was trying to actively manifest his chakra to the outside was always an horrendous experience. He has made progress in this regard, but it was a difficult feeling to swallow.
Stopping thinking about the bad things, Naruto continued looking for the enemies. He supposed that they were on the move all the time and didn't stay in the same place for more than a while, but he has the feeling that soon he will encounter them.
Trusting his instinct, Naruto didn't accelerate his pace and continued the same as he enjoyed the smell of the weeds. The humidity in the environment made it better.
There were bad things as he had to chase them, but the good thing was that he liked the environment of this place, the fresh air made him feel better and the floor of dirt reminded him of the days where he was running in the village.
Even though those days were bad, he didn't have to be worried and was with his master.
He was being nostalgic, but his training didn't stop even in that situation. He was continuously moving his chakra on his legs to get used to the feeling of having big amounts moving at a time.
He wanted to train his body to be allowed to burst into bursts without getting badly injured. The chakra wasn't a violent energy, but in big amounts the control decreased and the injuries began to appear inevitably.
That also helps him to train his body, the continuous damage and the healing that follows after slowly strengthening his body.
It's an auto-destructive training that was only possible to him, many circumstances created a method that would kill anyone else in a few weeks.
The miracle capabilities of healing water, the HP potions, and his regeneration that was slowly increasing made it possible.
As he continued, time passed and he finally found them.
In front of him, a pack of boars was peacefully eating without any worries.
Just looking at it was intimidating.
Every one of them were almost 1.25cm tall with a length of 190-210cm the average. The thick hair in their skin protects them from the environment and the small injuries.
They have no fangs, but the strength in their jaws was enough to crush a dog's head. Naruto could imagine what would be his fate if he falls for them.
[Wild boar 150HP]
"150? Isn't as much as I think. I wonder if all of them are the same." Looking with curiosity at the animal, Naruto wanted to meet the other variant if they exist or it was the same to all of them. Measuring them and looking how fat they were, Naruto was impatient as he thought these boars would taste better.
"It may be lonely to stay in this place, right? Let me help you and become my fo- a part of me and come to see another places" His words seemed sincere, but listening to him swallow his saliva didn't convince anyone.
The hunger in his eyes was burning the boars' flesh.
Eating became the most important thing to him since he experimented what starving to death means.
Wiping the corner of his mouth, Naruto took his position and was thinking on how he could kill them all in the fastest way.
They were 5.
"I can kill 2 of them if I burst my chakra, considering that they're not bosses the dmg output probably will be 140 or more? They seem to be slow, before they could react I think I can land another hit before the retreat...let's try."
Making an improvised plan, Naruto didn't lose time and like he does in his training, he channeled a considerable amount of chakra on his arms. The color of his chakra has changed a bit, having now a deep blue color but he doesn't care about that, as long as it works.
Moving a smaller amount to his legs, Naruto gathers strength.
Letting out a deep breath, he charged against the enemies.
The sudden sound in the weed alarmed the boars but it was too late when they reacted to it. Naruto was already beside one of them with his fist shining in a dark blue color and without any doubt, he landed a hit to the boar's head.
The animal tried to dodge the blow, but it was too slow and only could watch how the fist got bigger on his sight.
Even though the animal has only animal instinct, the fear then comes from the deeper of his self filled its mind.
[Wild Boar takes 137 dmg]
The animal was knocked down and before it could ever react, the second blow arrived.
[Wild boar takes 149 dmg][Wild boar dies]
As the other boars looked at how their friend died in their eyes, the one near Naruto tried to attack him but he quickly dodged it and kicked him followed by an elbow strike in its head.
[Wild boar takes 127 dmg] [Wild boar takes 162 dmg] [Wild boar dies]
The lament of the boar only sounded for a second before it stopped suddenly.
2 have fallen, 3 more to go
Naruto took a hard stick out of his inventory and used it to defend himself from the other boars' attacks.
The stick breaks after the first touch but it was enough to annoy the animal.
Taking a step back, Naruto took another stick and stabbed the boar's eye.
[Wild boar takes 42]
The boar's lament echoed in the battle. Even though it didn't do much dmg, the pain was another matter.
Losing an eye and worse of that, the stick breaks the moment it stabs it eye and the shavings were scattered inside the eye socket.
The pain erased the boar sanity and charge against Naruto, trying to get a piece of him.
His intentions were commendable, but the reality wasn't formed by intentions. Seeing the savage animal trying to attack him, Naruto stepped aside when it was near to reach him and kicked its legs.
[Wild boar takes 87]
The dmg wasn't big, but that doesn't mean that the animal leg could resist the impact. Without any suspense, Naruto's kick broke his leg.
Losing a limb, the boar couldn't stop and stumbled straight to the ground. Taking advantage, Naruto took another stick and stabbed it in the other eye. Straight to the boar's brain.
[Wild boar takes 185 dmg]
Its skin might be hard, but attacking a soft tissue was different.
It could be a normal stick, but its brain couldn't be as hard as the rest of his body.
Releasing his grip, Naruto took a step forward and jumped the corpse. The last two boars tried to catch him, but it was impossible for them.
They were a difference impossible to overcome.
They couldn't catch him, but Naruto won't lose the opportunity and hit them again. He may have no gold to other things, but beating the shit out of his enemies with sticks was refreshing as always.
He went straight to the legs of the nearest one. Like the previous one, the boar couldn't resist and fell to the ground.
Naruto didn't spare it seeing it in a vulnerable state and gave it a few blows.
[Wild boar takes 137 dmg][Wild boar takes 121 dmg] [Wild boar dies]
Now only the last one remains.
Seeing the lonely creature, Naruto's heart softened and warm words came out of his mouth.
"Poor you, let me help you to find your family in the afterlife."
The creature felt something off and tried to escape as he saw how his whole family was destroyed in such a short time. The boar's cries sounded as it wanted to intimidate its enemy, but Naruto won't retreat after all he did.
Kill it was sad, but It wouldn't be more cruel to let it alone in this heartless world?
Without any suspense, the last boar dies and Naruto takes the loot.
As he broke the bodies, Naruto could see a small piece of wood.
He took it and looked at the information.
[Wooden piece(4): Gather 5 pieces to create an item]
"Oh? Secret room item? That helps me to not have to look around"
Satisfied with his loot, Naruto continued his hunting. It looked like it was luck because he didn't find any other piece at the end of the day.
Returning to the safe zone, Naruto was humming a tune.
Naruto didn't know much about techniques, but all the battles he has gone through teaches him some ways to kill.
It wasn't the best way, but from these experiences he was slowly forming his battle arts.
Arts created with the only purpose to kill his enemies.
Abandoning any doubt he could have and only went directly to kill.
He couldn't have mercy in this place, all these monsters want to kill him as he has to kill them.
It's just a relation from the circumstances, nothing more.
From the nausea he has the first time, to get used to it.
He doesn't think it was good or not, why would someone think about those things when his life was at risk?
He only has to survive, nothing else matters.
