Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Because the Demon Wolf King was so large and its injuries were extremely severe, the amount of healing magic Wood used to cast was almost equivalent to the total amount used in the previous battles.

After several minutes of treatment, the Wolf King's injuries finally stabilized, while Wood, due to prolonged use of Saint-level magic, showed visibly signs of fatigue.

Using magic does not consume physical strength, but rather what is known as mental energy.

Physical strength can be restored through messages, but restoring mental strength is not so simple.

Moreover, compared to mere physical exhaustion, excessive mental exhaustion can directly lead to mental confusion or even coma in magic users.

Seeing Wood nearly stumble and fall to the ground, the Demon Wolf King narrowed its wolf eyes, a variety of thoughts swirling in its mind.

Undeniably, Wood was extremely powerful, and it was no match for him at all; it had already confirmed this beforehand.

However, the continuous use of "saint-level" magic had already exhausted Wood, who was comparable to a monster child. If he were to make a move now, the Demon Wolf King believed that his chances of winning were quite high.

After all, the aftereffects of excessive magic consumption are not only affecting one's ability to use magic, but also directly impacting one's combat ability if one's consciousness becomes hazy.

However, seeing Wood about to stumble and fall, the Wolf King ultimately suppressed its strong desire and instead wrapped its soft tail around Wood's waist to prevent him from falling.

After a brief internal struggle, the Demon Wolf King ultimately decided against resorting to violence.

Its previous act of submitting to Wood had already caused it to lose some of its dignity; if it were to repay kindness with enmity now, then it would truly lose even the last shred of dignity.

He was, after all, a wolf king of considerable standing in the maze. Since the other party had accepted his surrender and treated him, then the other party was his master.

The Demon Wolf King, who considered himself proud, would never commit patricide. And as mentioned before, the Demon Wolf King's decision to surrender to Wood was not only for survival, but also because he recognized the potential Wood possessed.

Wood, who was staggering and about to fall, dodged the wolf king's attempt to catch him with its tail by performing a nimble backflip.

When the Demon Wolf King looked at Wood again, he could no longer see the extremely "weak" appearance Wood had just had.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the Wolf King instantly understood the situation and broke out in a cold sweat.

Clearly, the Wolf King saw Wood in a state of excessive magic depletion and believed there was an opportunity to exploit him; it was Wood who made him think that way.

Its purpose was to test its loyalty. If what it had just extended was not a tail, but sharp claws, then its fate would be unimaginable.

"There's no way around it, you're a magical beast, and a wolf king with intelligence at that, so it's always good to be cautious."

Now that you have gained my initial trust, I will naturally treat you as my partner.

Upon hearing Wood's words, the Demon Wolf King lowered its head once more in submission, truly having no intention of resisting at this moment.

With the continuous use of Saint-level magic, plus the water and earth magic used in the previous battle, even a regular "Saint-level" mage should be nearly drained of their magic power after such a drain.

But Wood, who was standing in front of it, seemed to be in complete control, both mentally and physically.

This looks more like a warm-up exercise than a fierce battle!

Judging from the magical power consumed just now, the Wolf King could basically conclude that, regardless of the level of magic, Wood's magical power was definitely at the level of a "King-level" mage, and might even be above that!

After eliminating all dangers, Wood naturally brought Senis and Norren over first.

At first, Norren and Aisha were quite afraid of the Wolf King.

After all, the sight of the other party baring their teeth and attacking them left a shadow on their hearts.

However, with the wolf king taking the initiative to befriend them and Wood standing by to embolden them, the two little girls finally couldn't resist their curiosity and cautiously touched each other's fur.

When they discovered that the other party not only did not resist, but also licked them with its tongue, the two little ones were completely relieved.

At this moment, their worship of Wood has become even more blind, and they even believe that their Brother Wood is the strongest person in the world, and there is nothing he cannot do.

Compared to the naivety of the two innocent little girls, Senis looked at Wood with even greater surprise.

Although she was far away, she wasn't blind; she clearly saw Wood use "Saint-level" healing magic.

This is "Saint-level"! Senis has been a high-level mage for so long, but she has not yet broken through to the "Saint-level" level, while Wood, who is considered to have average magical talent, has already mastered "Saint-level" magic!

And Wood is only 11 years old now. His magical talent is almost on par with Rudy's.

If it weren't for the fact that Wood's beauty mark was below his right eye, and that he had just demonstrated powerful close-combat skills, Senis would have thought that the child in front of her was Rudy instead of Wood.

"I'm sorry, Mother, I've been keeping the matter of magic a secret from you all this time."

But I had no choice. On one hand, I was afraid of upsetting Rudy, and on the other hand, I was worried about being seen as an outsider.

Chapter 266 Information about the Moving Maze

Wood didn't continue lying to Senis about the magic, partly because Senis was just a little childish, but not stupid.

On the other hand, given the circumstances, Wood had no energy left to continue concealing the truth.

No one knows what dangerous enemies they will encounter later, and it's only a matter of time before their strength is exposed.

Since the truth will be revealed sooner or later, it's better to let Senis know her strength as soon as possible, so as to prevent her from doing anything impulsive in order to save herself.

After hearing what Wood said, Senis paused for a moment, then walked silently to Wood.

Then she gently pressed Wood's head into her arms and said with a tender smile, "No matter how amazing you are, in my eyes you are just a child who makes me proud."

A bright, polite child who always thinks of his family.

Seeing Senis hug Wood instead of him, Noren, who had been playing with the "big dog" on the side, immediately became jealous and reached out to hug her as well.

As for the youngest, Aisha, looking at the scene before her, she showed a look of desolation.

Although she is Wood and Norman's sister, Senis is not her biological mother.

Senis, being perceptive and gentle, quickly noticed the dejected Aisha and went over to embrace her.

“Aisha, you are my child just like Wood and Norren, and we will definitely get out of here soon and find your mother.”

Having accidentally entered the underground maze, and with the panic and unease from the previous attack, the warmth of the family of four had been greatly alleviated.

The Demon Wolf King originally had quite a few underlings, but Wood killed more than two-thirds of them, leaving only one-third.

With the submission of the Demon Wolf King, these ordinary red demon wolves naturally followed suit and chose to submit as well.

Because they were in a maze and had limited resources, Wood, after consulting the Wolf King, began harvesting the corpses of the dead demon wolves.

Wood's shirt was ruined, and it's not good to always be shirtless.

So he used the fur of those dead dire wolves to make a coat, which not only covered his body but also retained some fire immunity.

As for the wolf meat, Wood didn't waste it. Instead, he used fire magic to roast the meat and made smoked meat to preserve it.

After all, they didn't know when they would be able to break through the maze, and the most basic problem of food was definitely something they had to consider. Otherwise, it would be too frustrating if they were killed by the creatures in the maze but instead died of hunger.

At first, Wood was worried that cutting off the wolf skin and roasting the wolf meat would displease the wolf king.

After all, these red dire wolves used to be the other party's underlings, and now that the other party has become his underlings, his actions were indeed somewhat unethical...

However, to Wood's surprise, after Wood asked him a few questions, the Wolf King said he didn't care at all.

Even after the wolf meat was roasted, this guy still ate the most!

According to the Demon Wolf King, the resources in the labyrinth are very limited, and in order to survive, it is not uncommon for them to kill each other.

When Wood asked how to leave the maze, the Wolf King shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

The Demon Wolf King was not born with intelligence. It was only by chance that it swallowed a fragment of a magic crystal in the labyrinth, which gave it intelligence and the ability to communicate telepathically.

According to the Demon Wolf King, this maze is a moving maze. Getting in is not difficult, but getting out is not an easy task.

This maze is different from ordinary mazes; it is a moving maze with an unpredictable exit.

Once inside, returning the way you came is not easy. Besides being lucky enough to find the elusive exit, there is actually another way.

That means defeating the guardian of the maze and getting out through that giant magic crystal.

Unlike most of the mindless magical beasts here, the Demon Wolf King, who possesses the ability to think, also yearns for the outside world.

No intelligent being would willingly remain trapped in a confined environment, and the Demon Wolf King was no exception.

However, it also understands that it cannot defeat the powerful guardian with its own strength, so it can only rely on external forces.

This is one of the reasons why the Wolf King surrendered to Wood.

On one hand, it was about survival; on the other hand, it was about freedom!

Wood was the strongest human it had ever seen enter this place, possessing not only powerful magic but also considerable combat skills.

If we join forces with them, defeating the guardian of the labyrinth, breaking through this underground labyrinth, and seeing the outside world is not entirely impossible.

Although the Demon Wolf King didn't know how to get out of the maze, it had provided Wood and his companions with a lot of useful information after living there for many years.

For example, this moving maze is divided into many areas, and each area is separated by something like a door.

The monsters in each area have different strengths. For example, the Dark Druid that Wood and his group encountered before was extremely weak.

The Demon Wolf King and his minions are among the stronger ones, and the Demon Wolf King also possesses some useful information about the guardian of the moving maze, who is the final boss.

For example, the opponent is a giant nine-headed dragon, not only can each head emit powerful dragon breath, but it also has an absurd regenerative ability.

However, its regenerative ability is not absolutely invincible; as long as all of its heads are cut off, it can definitely kill the opponent.

Furthermore, this nine-headed dragon seems to be quite afraid of fire magic, which is a very favorable condition for the Wolf King and Wood.

After processing the wolf skin and meat, Wood collected some wolf teeth and claws and made two simple daggers.

If he could, he would naturally have wanted to make a longsword or a long knife, but unfortunately these demon wolves were all too small.

Given the size of their claws, it was already quite a stretch to make a dagger.

When Wood looked at the Demon Wolf King, it suddenly felt two tremors. As if it understood Wood's intention, it immediately ran to Wood's two sisters and tried its best to please them.
