Chapter 6: Lessons to be Learned and the Worst Possible Opponent

Me: *sigh*…I really wish I owned Naruto or Sword Art Online…but I own nothing else but the plot.

Naruto: Oh hey! Do you want me to do the disclaimer?

Me: Sure…this is just depressing to me.

Naruto: *victory sign* This guy doesn't own me or Sword Art Online in any way! In…any…way!

Me: *draws circles on the ground*

Chapter 6 START

Naruto's first title actually suited him better for the first fifty floors. However, I still have yet to see him lose in a duel. He only came once to losing, and that was against himself. It's strange how he can think tactics in the middle of battle, almost surreal.

Slash. Stab. Slice. Uppercut. And then –

"DYNAMIC ENTRY!" Naruto landed a devastating flying kick on the face of the quest boss, sending it flying. It crashed on the wall of the mine, shaking the large cavernous room, the stalagmites shaking and dropping some crystals from the roof. Naruto quickly grabbed a few pieces that fell to the floor, planning on possibly using it later to enhance his gear.

He was at the point where he could almost finally apply crystals to modify and upgrade his weapons, currently at Level 38. Although it had been two months only two more months, it was becoming increasingly difficult to level up. It was getting to the point where constant grinding would only net Naruto and Kirito one level per floor. However, at Level 40, they would be able to apply crystals.

Naruto sighed in exasperation, and then stared at the quest boss. It was a large, purple monkey. Despite its size and ridiculous color, it was extremely nimble and flexible, able to dodge a majority of Naruto's slower attacks. However, it had almost no defense. Therefore, whenever it was hit by a major hit, the monkey boss lost a large portion of its health, almost a full bar every time.

Level 38 boss…I guess I wasn't wrong. Every quest boss is the same level as the highest level player in the group or the solo player.

The monkey, Marcus, the Desperate, screamed in pain and fury. As the dust flew away from the cavern, clearing Naruto's vision, he saw the monkey glaring back him. It was on all fours, its eyes gleaming blue. Naruto took a glance at its HP bar.

One bar left. I only landed 5 hits…but each one took at least five minutes to land.

The monkey leaped forwards, closing the large distance between Naruto and itself, quickly appearing in front of the blonde. It raised its hand and brought it down, smashing it against the earth and creating another crater. Naruto barely jumped away in time, landing a few yards away from the boss.

Inside the boss room for the quest, hundreds of craters marred the ground. Naruto had been hit twice by the boss. The first time was because he was surprised by the boss's speed and agility, causing him to lose almost a quarter of his health. The second time was because the boss caught Naruto by surprise again by deceitfully aiming to Naruto's left. However, its right fist was hidden from view. Half a second later, Naruto was flying through the air and landed on the wall face first, causing to lose almost half of his health. After that, however, Naruto was able to dodge and slowly wear the boss down.
