Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

As mages, their mental strength is stronger than that of ordinary people. Wood will be the first to awaken, which means that he is now far superior to Senis in both mental strength and magic power.

Seeing the dim and unfamiliar surroundings, it was clear that this was no longer the market town of Roya City where they had just been, and Senis showed a hint of panic.

Senis calmed down considerably after seeing Wood beside her.

When a person arrives in an unfamiliar environment, it is inevitable to feel nervous, especially since Senis had a past experience of almost being sold into slavery.

However, her panic subsided considerably after she saw Wood, even though he was young and she was the elder in the family.

But in some situations, Senis often felt that Wood was more reliable than her husband, Paul.

"Where's Norren? Where's Aisha? Where have they gone!"

After realizing that she and Wood were both safe, Senis breathed a sigh of relief. However, she quickly remembered that her two daughters had been with them earlier.

Wood and Senis still possess considerable fighting strength; even if they were alone and encountered danger, they would still have the ability to fight back.

But Noren and Aisha are only a few years old. If they were alone and encountered danger, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"They're all fine, they just haven't woken up yet."

Seeing the flustered Senis, Wood quickly stepped aside, allowing her to see Noren and Aisha sleeping soundly beside her.

After seeing that the two little ones were indeed safe and sound, Senis breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Wood, where is this place? And what was that beam of light just now?"

Despite being the elder, Senis unconsciously regarded Wood as her pillar of support and posed questions to him.

This is not surprising, because Senis knew that her son Wood had loved reading since he was a child, and it was said that he had even read through the entire Boreas family's collection of books, and had a very rich knowledge base.

“At first, I felt that the black sphere in the sky was somewhat familiar. Now it seems that the entire Fituia territory has been affected by the ‘transfer magic’ mentioned in the book.”

"Transfer magic? You mean the beam of light that struck us earlier was actually a kind of transfer magic?"

The so-called teleportation magic is a special kind of magic that ordinary magicians cannot master, and the teleportation distance is also very limited, so it is quite rare.

"Yes, I think that's correct, but the teleportation magic we encountered should be considered a natural disaster."

As for why it formed, the book doesn't provide a specific explanation, but it's certain that we're no longer in the territory of Fituia.

Once enveloped by this teleportation magic, you will randomly appear in any region; it could be the central continent, or, if you're unlucky, you might even be teleported directly to the perilous Demon Continent.

After hearing Wood's description, Senis, who had initially felt relieved, couldn't help but start to worry again.

"So, not only were we affected, but Rudy, Paul, and Lilia were also taken to other places by this 'transfer magic'?"

Realizing that her other family members might be going to a dangerous place like the Demon Continent, Senis couldn't help but start to worry again.

"It's not just them; more than 80% of the people in the entire Fituia territory may be affected."

However, we don't need to worry too much. Paul and Rudy are capable of protecting themselves. As for Lilia, we need to find her as soon as possible.

There was one thing Wood was worried about that Senis was being overly concerned about, which he hadn't mentioned: those affected by 'transfer magic' sometimes face dangers not only from external factors, but also from extremely unlucky environmental factors.

Because of the uncertainty of their location, some people may suddenly appear thousands of feet in the sky, while others may appear directly in a lava pool.

In such an environment, unless the other party can fly or swim in lava, it will die without even a chance to struggle.

Of course, people who experience this are usually extremely unlucky, and Wood hoped that Paul and Rudy wouldn't have too bad luck.

Furthermore, given their current situation, they have no energy left to worry about others. Wood had already sensed this from the moment they arrived; not only was the environment they were in dim, but the surrounding magical energy was also quite abundant.

With such a dense concentration of magical elements, Wood couldn't fathom what continent they were on. Furthermore, as a swordsman with keen intuition, he clearly sensed the auras of many creatures gathering towards their location!

"Intermediate Water Magic: Water Wall!"

Wood stretched out one hand forward, and a blue magic circle unfolded in front of him, followed by a wall of water formed by rushing water, which immediately appeared in front of them.

Almost the instant the water wall appeared, a fireball the size of a soccer ball suddenly pierced the darkness and shot towards Wood and his group.

The fireball struck the water wall, immediately causing a violent physical reaction. A large amount of white smoke rose up, but the fireball was ultimately unable to break through the water wall's defenses and was extinguished by the turbulent water flow.

"Intermediate Water Magic: Water Arrow!"

Senis is a high-ranking mage, and her most proficient magic is actually healing magic; however, this does not mean she cannot use other types of magic.

After all, he was a former member of an S-class adventurer group. Although he had been retired for several years, he still had at least some fighting spirit.

Just as Wood managed to defend against the fireball from the darkness, Senis quickly completed her incantation and unleashed a mid-level water spell, sending it flying directly in the direction from which the attack had been launched.

“Puff——————!”

The opponent had just used a fireball attack and was clearly still in a stunned state. Senis's intermediate-level magic was not avoided by the opponent and was cleanly pierced through the body.

Chapter 259 The Labyrinth? Unseen Monsters

Hearing the sound of water arrows piercing flesh from the darkness, Senis was about to get up and go to check what had just attacked them.

However, Senis had barely taken a step when Wood pulled her back from behind.

Almost the instant Wood pulled Senis back, an arrow suddenly shot towards Wood and his group with incredible speed, finally grazing Senis's hair.

"Seneca, be careful. I sensed more than one presence earlier!"

The arrow, which had been aimed at the sky, was dodged. The creature hidden in the darkness clearly did not give up, and instead drew its bowstring taut once more.

Because the enemy's strength is unknown, archers have a far greater advantage than mages when fighting at long range.

Although the power of arrows is not as great as magic, they can be cast infinitely, making them fully capable of killing a mage before the mage can even cast a spell.

Wood could use spells without chanting, but he chose not to at this moment. Instead, he instructed Senis to protect Norn and the others while he charged into the darkness alone.

The reason is quite simple: Wood is currently completely unaware of where they have been transferred to.

In an unfamiliar environment, it is essential to control the amount of magic used and conserve as much magic power as possible.

After all, they have no supplies right now. Physical strength can be restored through rest, but restoring magic power is not so easy.

If he gets injured or in other situations, Wood can still rely on the little magic he has to use to heal.

That's why he chose to abandon using magic to attack directly and instead take the risk of rushing towards the unknown enemy.

Senis is a mage, and her melee combat skills are too weak. Wood cannot expect her to defeat her without using magic, so Wood has no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

The enemy lurking in the darkness—Wood didn't know what they were, but he could judge their strength by their aura.

A few muffled thuds of fists hitting flesh echoed from the darkness. Senis stared intently at the spot where Wood had just rushed in, her face showing extreme worry.

However, Senis didn't worry for long. Just a short while later, Wood slowly emerged from the darkness again, this time dragging a corpse with one hand.

"They're the guys who just attacked us..."

The two corpses that Wood dragged out of the darkness actually looked very similar to humans, except that their skin was extremely dark and their appearance was quite ugly, as if they were cursed.

"What kind of creature is this? It looks a bit like an elf, but if it is an elf, then they should all be quite beautiful."

Looking at the two dead humanoid creatures, Senis noticed their pointed ears and immediately thought of the elves she had encountered when she was an adventurer.

However, she quickly dismissed the thought as soon as it crossed her mind. Elves are all handsome men and beautiful women, with looks far above the average human, so it's impossible for them to be such ugly people.

"Actually, it's not wrong to say they are elves. They should be the kind of dark druids who were cursed and corrupted."

Because they retained the abilities of druids, they were all natural archers and extremely skilled in magic.

But if I remember correctly, Dark Druids should be a race that lives on the Demon Continent..."

People who have never been to the Demon Continent generally cannot recognize races like Dark Druids, but Wood, relying on the extensive library of the Boreas family, not only learned a lot about the Demon Continent, but also taught himself the Demon God Language.

"Dark Druid... So, does that mean we really were transferred to the Demon Continent...?"

Even though she was once an S-class adventurer, Senis's knowledge of the Demon Continent was limited to hearsay; she had never actually been there.

It is said that the environment there is harsh, and it is also thousands of miles away from the continent where they originally lived. Crossing the continent to return is not an easy task.

"I'm afraid things are even worse than that. Although Dark Druids are a race that lives on the Demon Continent, they generally live in the forest due to their habits."

But this place we're in doesn't look like a forest at all..."

Wood looked at the two corpses on the ground. One of the druids had been killed by Senis's water arrow magic, while the other had been killed by Wood's powerful blow that shattered his heart.

If you look closely, you'll find that these two druids have some subtle differences from the druids described in the book.

Those were their eyes, almost reduced to slits, completely unlike those of ordinary druids.

Wood guessed there were two possibilities for this situation: one was that the druids here had mutated.

Secondly, their eyesight has deteriorated due to spending so much time in this dark environment.

However, in Wood's view, both situations were extremely troublesome. If it was the first reason, it meant that there was a powerful creature or source of pollution nearby that caused the druid to mutate.

If the second reason is true, then it means they may not have been transferred to the Demon Continent, but to a more dangerous and unknown place.

Even if he were to arrive in the Demon Continent, with the knowledge of human geography that Wood had acquired over the years, returning to the territory of Fetoa would not be easy, but it wouldn't be too dangerous either.

But now that he was in a strange place, the knowledge he had learned before was completely useless, which made Wood feel very uneasy.

If he were alone, Wood felt he could handle various emergencies, but now he was not alone, but also had Senis and two sisters who were completely incapable of fighting.

The wand that was previously on the Dark Druid is now being used, even though it's not very useful, it's better than nothing.

When I went out with Wood before, he didn't bring either his longsword or his wand with him. Fortunately, Senis always had her wand on her waist.

With a casual wave of his wand, a small fireball appeared in front of Wood, illuminating the surrounding area.

Besides the two dead Dark Druids on the ground, Wood also discovered that they seemed to be in a dark cave.
