As Rikuro's leg wound heal, he got out of his tent, ate some fish, and set out.
"After this, I'd only have my wolf jerky to feed me.. yuck." He chewed down on the fish before looking at his wolf jerkies. "I don't know how long this wolf jerky will last, but I hope I can get out before this spoil."
As he finished eating he looked back into his makeshift shelter. "Thank you for protecting me in this unnatural forest." After he had said his thanks, he went and walked once again.
"I should probably keep on destroying rocks to build up my proficiency with Hakai." He grab some rocks and began destroying them, though he could only destroy 3 in an hour, but it's definitely an improvement from before.
As hours passed he kept on running, feeling the cold wind breeze in front of him as he ran. "I'm getting closer to getting out of this enchanted forest." He said as he kept running noticing the clearing in front of him he passed.
He stood upon the edge of the cliff feeling the breeze of the cold air, noticing how the tree tops almost reached him and how much farther he needs to go.
"These trees are too big I tell you. I'm 100 meters above the ground below the cliff and this trees could almost reach me." He looked down at the cliff face, he would die if he jumped down no questions asked. "I also can see a huge town in the horizon, does that mean I have to run for 50 more kilometers.. god damnit" He felt both hope and dread as he saw the far away town. Hope since he'll finally meet other people and dread because of the distance left.
He needs to find a way down so he planned to go around this massive cliff side. "I can probably go down there if I walk to the side and find a slope downwards, time for a necessary detour."
He walked around the cliff edge still looking at the town far in the horizon. He finally found a not so steep way to go downwards and so he used that to run down the cliff.
"Ok if I just go straight I can get into the town in about a few weeks." Rikuro then started walking and days and weeks passed by in a blink of an eye.

"Honestly, I'm pretty lucky because I haven't met any more predators, and I found a lot of rivers and freshwater." He remembered when he got stressed when he ate all his jerky thinking he would die.
"I should be near the town that I saw at this point." As he walked past the shrubberies and vines, he heard a roar behind him that shook the earth beneath him.
"I jinxed it didn't I.." He looked back and saw a huge bears towering over 30 meters tall chasing a moose half its size.
He looked upon the scene as the towering bear pounced on the moose as it's horn traps it between the trees. "I should probably run.." The bear easily overpowered the Moose and causing some of the trees to fall over because of it's strength.
"My eyes did not deceive me did it? That bear just made the tall ass trees to fall." Rikuro looked as the bear now eating the moose, it's fur now covered in blood.
As Rikuro started to slowly walk away, fate decided it's time for him to break a stick making the bear notice him and roar.
"GRRAAAAAAWWWWWWHHHH!!!!!!"
The sound of the bear made his ears ring, leaves fell off the trees and the ground shook. "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! NIGERUNDAYO!!!!!" Rikuro using the secret joestar technique, bolted to the direction of the town, he tried to throw the spears he had but it didn't work, he was smart enough to not throw his last spear.
"THATS A FREAKING TITAN!! I DONT HAVE AN ODM GEAR!! WHY IS IT FOLLOWING ME!? I DONT WANT YOUR FOOD SMOKEY SO LIVE ME ALONE!" He questioned nature itself because of the fact that this behemoth of a bear, the one that broke trees is chasing this small man who isn't even 6 feet tall.
"IT'S ON MY BUTT!!" The bear luckily isn't catching up since the trees offers good obstacles to stop Smokey The Bear. Smoke can be seen even outside the town.
The game of cat and mouse continued for 30 minutes. Rikuro being as unathletic as a pig uses the trees to hide and to take breaks, he can't run for 30 minutes straight.
"Why is it still following me god damnit.. why target me, a human who won't even give you enough energy to pay for the amount of energy you used chasing me."
As Rikuro contemplated his luck and faith, the bear smelt him and started to charge into the tree he's hiding at. "LEAVE ME ALONE YOU BASTARD!" He started running again, hoping that he would make it into the town so they kill that thing.
But this game of cat and mouse ended in Rikuro's defeat, his back searing hot. Pain shot up, and blood squirted out of his back as he fell down, and rolled and hit a nearby tree. "Son of a.. GAAAH!! That.. hurts more than the wolf." He looked at the bear, it's claws now painted red with his blood.
His makeshift top was left on the ground as the slash of the bear broke it. Even through his pain and fear he looked at it positively. 'Im not dead, that slash.. it didn't penetrate me that deeply. It seems only the tip of his claw slashed me.. get up Rikuro.. you can beat that thing with your intelligence and your Hakai.'
'I have to destroy it's brain or heart.. the hear is a no go, it's locked behind the ribs.. the brain..' As Rikuro set up his plan, the bear now destroyed the tree holding it back and roared once again.
"GRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!"
Rikuros ears rang once again and the ground shook. Rikuro threw away his belongings including his last spear.
"Battle Comence!" He shouted, adrenaline numbing the pain from his back, he looked at the bear as it's left paw swiped in his position.
He run into the bear's direction and made the bear missed, he's now under the hand of the bear as he held its fur to climb up it's elbow.
"SAY GOODBYE TO THAT SWIPE YOU LOV-" He couldn't finish his words as he looked up and saw the bears other hand coming straight at him. He let go of the bears fur making him fall but not before he used.
"SOKUJIHAKAI!!" He used his sub skill 『Instant Destruction』to quickly disintegrate the bear's elbow but it wasn't enough for it's left arm to be disabled.
"Shit! Not deep enough, I can see your bone, next time say goodbye to your arm!" He looked up seeing the bear hit his own arm, blood squirted out of the hole he left and the bear screamed in pain.
As Rikuro hit the ground, he quickly rolled to the side to stand up quickly, he winced as his back screamed of pain, but he has no time to stop. He dashed to the side as the wounded arm slammed it's paws down to where he stood.
"Whack a Rikuro! Come on! Try and hit me!" The bear kept trying to slam him with it's paws, but the pain on its left arm from repeated slamming made the bear stop.
"Chance!" He run, jumped and clung into the fur of the bear's left arm, he then touched the bone that was sticking out.
"Hakai! Say bye-bye to your joints!" He then jumped off before the bears right arm hit him.
As the bear hit it's own arm once again, the left hand flopped around, without the elbow joint, the bear can't move it's left arm anymore, blood flowing out of the wound with no sign of stopping.
"One less threat." The bear kept swiping at its claws at him, but Rikuro kept on dodging it's attack. The bear then went back to all fours, but without its left arm it was unstable. The bear then quickly charged into Rikuro, trying to bite him in half
"I'll gladly take you on that offer Smokey!" He run into the bear, and jumped into the bear's mouth, the bear couldn't close it's mouth in time due to its size.
"God this smells horrid!" He used 『Matter Destruction』on the soles of his feet, destroying his shoes in the process but giving him a platform to stand on in its tongue by destroying the slippery side.
He then jump up using it's uvula to swing into the back of the bears throat, he then used 『Matter Destruction』on his finger tips to make a grip on its throat, blood flowed out of its.
The bear can't breath properly due to having Rikuro in its throat. Rikuro used hakai on his upper body except for his hands. The bears blood quickly disintegrating as he dug deeper into its head aiming for its brain.
'i can't breathe, I can't see. Hakai is destroying both air and light from entering.. but with this the bear's blood won't jnfect my wounds.' He digs until he's finally out of the bear, and as he plopped out and gasped for air.
Light went back to his eyes and he looked at where he came out, the side of the skull of the bear. He missed the brain only destroying parts of it.
"I can't use Hakai anymore.. crap." Adrenaline is wearing off, the pain is now clear. He then jumped off and slid down the side of the bear as it hit where he was.
"Does that hurt you freak of nature!?" He asked the bear as it tumbled on its side. He then run to where he threw his belongings and his spear.
He picked up his spear and turned around, the bear now barely able to stand up glares at Rikuro in anger and fear.
Rikuro himself can't move, he's just standing there to bluff. 'Just stand here, make it think I can still fight.'
Time seems to be at a standstill as the two looked at each other. The stalemate was broken when a rough voice penetrate the battlegrounds.
"Mage bind the Brizzly Bear!" As the man said the words, a magic circle appeared beneath the bear and tentacles of stone and earth writhe and locked the bear.
"English.. magic.. Brizzly Bear?" The amount of information he got was big to figure out what kind of world this is.
'Fantasy huh.. lucky.. I want to learn.. magic.' Rikuro is now on his knees, and coughed up blood. His vision is blurred but he can see an outline of a blond man running to the bear wielding a sword that was as big as the man wielding it.
"IGNIS CUTIS!" The blond man shouted, his sword was then engulfed in fire. The man jumped and slashed the stomach of the Brizzly Bear, it's flesh sizzled and cauterized as the flaming sword basically melts it's flesh.
'Magic.. is.. so cool.' Rikuro finally gave in to the exhaustion and fainted, his body slumped on the forest floor.
Darkness engulfed his vision once more.
