Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Immediately afterwards, a high-speed melee combat, fast enough to dazzle ordinary people, broke out between the two.

Both of them use the "Sword God Style" swordsmanship, but in order to cater to Wood, Kyrie Irvine is only showing the level of a high-ranking swordsman.

However, even if swordsmanship skills and techniques are comparable, other factors can still greatly influence the outcome of a sparring match.

Orcs are generally stronger than ordinary humans, but Wood, who is only seven years old, is not only short-armed and short-legged, but also no match for Gilead in terms of strength and stamina.

So the result was obvious: at the beginning, Wood was able to maintain a close match with Gilead in the fast-paced offense and defense.

However, as time went by, Wood was soon gradually suppressed by Gilead.

If you can't gain an advantage in strength, speed, or stamina, then you can only rely on skill.

Despite being constantly forced back, Wood eventually found an opening, and Gilead, with his extensive experience, seized upon it and slashed Wood's wrist with his sword.

As if realizing Gilead's intention, Wood also raised his sword to parry in time. However, the hasty parry was obviously insufficient to deal with Gilead's attack.

So, with a crisp clang of metal striking metal, Wood's sword was knocked from his hand.

If a swordsman has no sword in his hand, then it is no different from defeat. All that is needed for Gilead to put his sword to Wood's neck is to declare the battle over.

However, just when everyone thought Wood had reached his limit, Gilead, who was closest to Wood, discovered that Wood, whose longsword had been knocked away, actually had a confident smile on his face and clenched his fists, assuming a fighting stance.

"The gate is wide open, Miss Kyrie Irvine. It seems that you are the one who has exposed the fatal flaw."

Because he knocked Wood's longsword away, Gilead was indeed wide open at this moment, but such an opening was not a weakness at all for an unarmed swordsman.

Unfortunately, Gilead never imagined that Wood was not just a pure swordsman; besides swordsmanship, he was also skilled in many other things.

Wood's punch, with its powerful force, even generated a gust of wind, and struck directly at Kyrie Irvine's wide-open abdomen.

At first, Gilead obviously didn't take Wood's attack too seriously.

However, when the fist struck his abdomen, Giren quickly realized how wrong he was. As he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, Giren was sent flying several meters away by Wood's punch!

And even a beastman as strong as her slid several meters on the ground before actually spitting out a mouthful of bitter water.

"You're actually a boxer who knows how to use power generation techniques!"

Given the difference in their physical abilities, it would be difficult for Wood to inflict damage on Gilead with his bare hands, but inflicting internal injuries directly on him using "force exertion" is a different matter entirely.

And Wood's attack didn't end there!

Chapter 250 Alternative Uses of Magic!

Wood, who had sent Gilead flying with a single punch, leaped up and instantly caught the sword that Gilead had previously launched into the air.

Wood, who was holding his sword in mid-air, then quickly adopted a swordsmanship starting stance that Gilead had never seen before.

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Itachi-ryu!"

As the blade cleaved downwards, the surrounding airflow seemed to be drawn in, swirling around the sword before shooting out.

The gale transformed into a sharp blade, converging into a massive wind blade strike that shot from mid-air in a huge crescent shape towards Kyrie Il-6 on the ground.

The wind blades sliced ​​across the ground, easily carving a deep trench in the hard surface.

Seeing the powerful slash hurtling towards him, Kyrie Irving endured the pain in his abdomen, gripped his sword with both hands, and unleashed a "Sword Saint" level strike, slashing forward in return.

"boom------!"

The sword energy, carrying a gust of wind, collided with the sword blade of Kyrie Il-sung, which was surrounded by battle aura. The resulting impact caused large areas of the surrounding ground to crack.

The aftershocks of the battle between the two forces created a strong wind that blinded the surrounding spectators.

Several seconds later, Wood, who had jumped into the air, landed smoothly. When they saw the huge "T"-shaped chasm on the field caused by the collision of sword energy, the Boreas family was dumbfounded.

The way Saulos and Philip looked at Wood had completely changed.

Previously, they believed that no matter how talented Wood was, he was at most at the level of Alice.

However, to their utter surprise, Paul, the man who betrayed his family, actually gave birth to such a prodigious son.

If the Notos family knew that someone who abandoned their family name had given birth to such a monstrous genius, I wonder what they would think.

Notos was Paul's previous family, and like the Boreas family, they belonged to the Grerat lineage and were also upper-class nobles in the Kingdom of Asra.

The dust kicked up by the impact on the field gradually settled, and Gigliotti slowly emerged.

According to the "no harm even with smoke" rule in their respective anime, Gilead's current state was not unexpected by Wood. Despite the powerful slash just now, the opponent was still completely unharmed.

However, the only difference was that when Wood received the final sword strike, he clearly felt that the battle aura surrounding Kyrie was no longer at the level of a superior swordsman, but at the level of a true "sword saint".

"I see. So this is the other kind of power that Paul was talking about, different from fighting spirit?"

That's incredibly powerful; no wonder Paul claimed he might not be your match.

Kyrie Irvine is no longer shocked by Wood, because from the very beginning, Wood has surprised her wave after wave, to the point that she is now completely numb to it.

Looking at the unharmed Gilead, Wood sighed inwardly that the difference in level between a "Sword King" level expert and a superior swordsman like Paul was indeed like heaven and earth.

But he did not give up at this moment, and instead adopted an offensive stance again.

After fighting for so long, Wood has begun to figure out Kyrie Io's moves. Although the hope of defeating him is still slim, there is a good chance of forcing him to show his true strength.

"Interesting. Do you want to continue? Wasn't that sword aura attack called 'Kamaitachi' your strongest move?"

Seeing that Wood had not yet lost his will to fight, Kyrie Irvine also laughed, and then revealed a rather expectant expression.

"Of course we should continue. Miss Kyrie is the Sword King, but her battle aura is only at the Sword Saint level. She's obviously not really getting serious yet."

Wood, who had been holding the sword with both hands, now held it with his right hand, and then his left hand, palm down, began to gather magic power.

"Intermediate Wind Magic: Wind Pressure Blast!"

A cyan magic circle appeared unexpectedly in Wood's left palm, followed by a strong gust of wind that swept out from the cyan magic circle.

Intermediate-level wind magic alone is unlikely to be effective against a swordsman of Kyrie Il's caliber.

However, the wind magic Wood used was not primarily intended to attack Kyrie Il, but rather to accelerate!

Because of Lokishi's year of instruction in magic theory, coupled with Wood's own insights into magic, he believed that magic was not just something that could be used purely for attack, but rather had multiple uses.

Rudy's talent in magic lies more in his understanding of magic, which led him to develop the technique of using magic without chanting, and Wood was one of the beneficiaries.

Wood's talent for magic lies even more in his mastery of it.

Just like now, a powerful storm is blowing out from the blue magic circle, but its target is not Kyrie Irvine, but the ground beneath Wood's feet!

Strong winds blowing across the ground create tremendous recoil force, and by controlling the angle of the magic circle, Wood can use this recoil force to accelerate, allowing him to close the distance to his opponent in an instant!

"Intermediate-level magic, and it's even a spell without incantation! He didn't even use a wand, how did he do that!"

Compared to the Boreas family's magic that Wood used without chanting, Kyrie Irvine was only surprised by Wood's speed, which had actually increased again!

"clang------!"

A crisp clang of metal clashing echoed across the training ground, the sound of the blades colliding far surpassing any previous one.

And observant people will also notice that, although it is still a clash of swords, the force used by both sides this time is obviously far greater than before.

The longswords made of fine iron even chipped each other in the collision, demonstrating the immense power of the impact!

Moreover, this clash is different from the previous one where Gilead had always had the upper hand.

In terms of strength, Wood is indeed at a disadvantage compared to Kyrie Irvine. However, under the reverse jet of wind magic, the powerful impact provides extremely strong acceleration, and is also accompanied by terrifying power.

Speed ​​is power! As sparks flew out, Kyrie Irving's body continued to retreat, his feet carving two clear furrows in the ground.

If the stalemate continues into the afternoon, Gilead's iron sword will inevitably give way first.

However, just as Wood was full of confidence and was about to secure victory, he saw that Gilead, who had been fighting hard, was now showing a playful smile.

"Orcs are natural-born hunters; their bodies have long been trained into weapons."

Just as you showed me before, my skills aren't limited to swordsmanship alone.

Withstanding the powerful impact, Wood saw Kyrie Irvine deliver a whip kick that struck Wood's neck in the next second!

Chapter 251: Lost the battle, but won the victory.

Because of the recoil force from the intermediate wind magic, Wood's body was now completely levitating.

And now, with a longsword in one hand and wind magic in the other, he has no ability to dodge, let alone defend himself!

Given Gilead's physical condition, if Wood were to take that whip kick down the neck, he would most likely faint on the spot.

At the critical moment, Wood had no choice but to interrupt the wind magic in his left hand and instead quickly unfold a brown magic circle.

"It's useless! Even if you can use spells without chanting, at this distance, you simply cannot gather enough mana to use intermediate-level spells!"

In addition to long incantations, magicians also need to concentrate their magical power to use magic.

The degree of affinity with the elements directly affects the speed at which a mage gathers elemental magic.

Using intermediate-level magic requires a certain amount of magic power, and given the current distance between Kyrie and Wood, even if Wood has a high level of magical talent, he simply cannot gather enough magic power to use intermediate-level magic in an instant.

"Who says magic has to be advanced to be effective in battle!"

Basic Earth Magic: Earth Spikes!

The magic Wood used was merely a low-level earth magic, on the same level as fire magic like "fireball" and water magic like "water bullet".

In terms of power, this level of magic is not even very effective against ordinary people. Kyrie Irvine really doesn't understand what Wood could do with this kind of basic magic under these circumstances.
