Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

However, to become a "Sword King," in addition to having the corresponding swordsmanship comprehension and battle aura, one also needs extraordinary physical strength and rich combat experience.

Physical fitness and combat experience are not things that can be achieved through talent alone; they require long-term accumulation.

A genius who can reach the "Sword King" level at the age of 11 is someone Rijrude has never encountered before. Even if someone started practicing swordsmanship in the womb, they probably wouldn't be this good...

"I just hope that Wood will be with Norren and Aisha when the disaster strikes."

Paul and the others at least have some fighting ability, but what about Noren and Aisha…”

Rudy had absolute confidence in his younger brother's abilities and adaptability. What he was worried about now was the rest of the family, especially his two young sisters.

Alice's expression fell when she heard what Rudy said.

Like Rudy, she also worried about her family, even though she didn't have a sister.

However, her father Philip and mother Hilda, despite their high positions, were essentially powerless in combat.

If they were transported to a relatively safe area by teleportation magic, that would be fine. But if they were transported to the Demon Continent like them...

Chapter 269 First Encounter with the Strongest Guardian of the Labyrinth!

In the moving maze, Wood, on whom Rudy placed high hopes, finally reached the end of the maze after months of conquest.

Finally, what stood in their way was the final boss of the moving maze, the strongest guardian known as the Nine-Headed Dragon.

Inside the enormous room, a colossal monster, far larger than the Demon Wolf King and possessing nine heads, stood in the room, with a massive, floating magic crystal behind it.

What Wood and his companions needed to do was defeat the nine-headed dragon in front of them and shatter the magic crystal behind it so they could leave the maze.

However, while the steps are simple, knowing how to do them is not an easy task.

Previously, Wood's knowledge of the so-called nine-headed dragon was limited to what he had heard about as the Wolf King. However, it wasn't until he actually saw the creature in front of him that Wood realized just how dangerous it was.

Without exaggeration, the creature standing before him was the strongest he had ever seen since Wood came to this world!

Even though the other party hadn't made a move yet, Dangdang was already exuding an unparalleled aura just by standing there.

With their minds still immature and their young age, Norren and Aisha have grown up over the past few months and are no longer afraid of many monsters.

However, upon seeing the giant standing on the field, he couldn't help but tremble, and slowly walked behind Wood.

The monster in front of them put them under psychological pressure, and only the strongest brother, Wood, could give them a sense of security.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a monster..."

Looking at the enormous monster not far away, not only Norren and Aisha, but even Senis couldn't help but tremble slightly.

As a former member of an S-class adventurer group, Senis has considerable adventure experience.

Their years of experience as adventurers have also allowed their adventurer group to slay many powerful monsters.

However, Senis could assure herself that the nine-headed dragon before her was the most powerful monster she had ever encountered.

Even if the entire "Black Wolf Fang" adventure team were here, they might not be able to defeat this opponent.

Of course, the "Black Wolf Fang" here refers to the former Black Wolf Fang, since Kyrie Irwin from the original team is now the "Black Wolf Sword King".

"Wood, we need to rethink our strategy. This enemy is beyond our current capabilities to defeat!"

When Senis saw the nine-headed dragon, she immediately backed down.

This wasn't because she lacked courage, but because she believed that given their current circumstances, rashly challenging such a monster would be no different from throwing their lives away.

Based on Senis's adventurer experience, challenging a monster of this level would require at least two S-rank adventure teams, along with a certain amount of supplies.

However, in their current team situation, the only ones who can be considered as combat power are Wood, the Wolf King, and Senis.

Senis was part of the support staff; it was far too much of a stretch to rely solely on the Wolf King and Wood to challenge a monster like the Nine-Headed Dragon.

There are still many areas in the moving maze they haven't explored. They could collect more supplies and equipment before returning to challenge the Hydra.

"Although we don't have to worry about our basic needs for the time being, it's not good to be stuck here forever."

I'm a little worried about the rest of my family, so the sooner I leave, the better.

"And if we want to get out, this monster is always something we can't avoid colliding with."

Even if you can't defeat it, it's still worthwhile to try challenging it and collecting some of its combat data.

Wood did not accept Senis's suggestion this time. They had been trapped in the maze for months, and Wood was worried about the others, so he wanted to leave this hellish place as soon as possible.

Furthermore, while the nine-headed dragon gave him a sense of danger, it was not yet invincible.

Even when trying to defeat a boss, it's essential to gather information beforehand. This way, even if you fail to defeat the boss the first time, you can make the next battle more advantageous.

This time, Wood ultimately did not send Senis or even the Wolf King into battle, but instead planned to go alone to investigate the strength of the Hydra.

As for the Wolf King, he carried Senis and Norren on his back, ready to escape at any moment. If things became unfavorable, he would launch a swift and decisive retreat.

Wood felt confident in his ability to protect himself; even if he couldn't defeat his opponent, escaping alone shouldn't be too difficult.

Despite such a crazy move, Wood spent a long time persuading Senis, and only after revealing his "Sword King" level did he finally get Senis's reluctant agreement.

Holding the longsword that had fallen from the Dark Knight in the labyrinth, Wood used a wind spell to create a recoil force against the ground, instantly appearing in front of the Hydra at supersonic speed.

Almost the instant Wood set foot in the area where the Hydra was, its nine pairs of scarlet eyes opened.

"Roar------!"

The nine dragon heads roared in unison, and the thunderous roars instantly transformed into a wave of sound that reverberated throughout the entire room.

The invisible sound waves transformed into layers of ring-shaped shockwaves, instantly spreading outwards throughout the room. Under this invisible pressure, the remaining red wolf minions of the Demon Wolf King collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way.

This was the absolute pressure emanating from the top predator. To put it bluntly, ordinary magical beasts wouldn't even have the courage to fight against the 9-headed dragon.

Senis immediately covered Noren and Aisha's ears with her hands to prevent them from being affected by their fragile young minds, while her eyes were fixed on a boy who was not very tall in the field.

Wood, who had accelerated using magic, was now much closer to the hydra, so the effects of the dragon's roar were even more pronounced.

However, with his powerful physique and the mental strength of a "King-level" mage, Wood was able to withstand the shockwave from the dragon's roar and the negative effects such as dizziness from the mental level.

With a swing of his longsword, a silver trail exploded in the air. Based on the principle that the vital organs of most living beings are the head and heart, Wood cleaved the opponent's head directly in the center with this sword.

Since it was called a "dragon", its body was naturally covered with dragon scales full of metallic texture. At first, Wood was worried that his attack would not be able to cause enough damage to the opponent, so he used a sword technique at the level of a "sword saint" for this sword.

However, to Wood's surprise, the so-called nine-headed dragon was not as strong as he had imagined, and those dragon scales that looked extremely defensive seemed to be nothing more than a facade...

Chapter 270 You said this thing has a weakness?

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu: Kamaitachi!"

The sharp wind blades transformed into sword energy, completely replacing the power attribute called "battle energy" in this world, and the sword slashed directly at the neck of the nine-headed dragon.

The black blade made contact with the dragon scales, but instead of producing the sound of metal clashing as Wood had imagined, it broke through the defenses decisively and left a huge gash on one of the nine-headed dragon's heads!

The extremely horrific injuries not only caused the Hydra to bleed profusely, but also, after letting out a painful roar, the other heads angrily retaliated against Wood.

The nine-headed dragon has nine heads, each with its own independent attack capabilities. Wood does not know the exact location of its central brain, or whether each of its nine heads contains a brain.

However, at this moment, these heads did indeed complete an autonomous and independent attack.

One of the heads closest to Wood forced him back with its sharp teeth, while the other head rammed into him, sending him flying.

Then, two more heads roared and began to rapidly gather magic power in their mouths. Within seconds, two terrifying dragon breaths crossed and shot directly at Wood, who had been thrown into the air.

Seeing the terrifying dragon breath coming head-on, Wood immediately switched to gripping his sword with one hand, then drew his magic staff from his waist and used magic to defend himself.

"Saint-level Water Magic: Whirlpool Water Barrier!"

A blue magic circle unfolded in front of Wood, and a large amount of gushing water formed a huge whirlpool in front of him, as if it could swallow everything.

However, the power of the nine-headed dragon's breath was even stronger than Wood had imagined. When the huge dragon breath hit the water vortex, although it encountered some resistance, it quickly penetrated the water barrier and directly lifted Wood to the ceiling!

Seeing that his magic could not completely resist the hydra's breath, Wood became desperate and, with the idea of ​​trading injury for injury, he threw out his strongest fire spell!

"King-level Fire Magic - Crimson Lotus Karma Song!"

With a "crack" sound, Wood's wand in the water, clearly unable to withstand Wood's extremely strong magic power, shattered at the same time as the red magic circle was unfolded.

This is not surprising, though, because neither the longsword nor the wand in Wood's hand belonged to him. They were picked up from the monsters in the labyrinth.

A wand of mediocre quality is obviously unable to withstand the magic of a Fire King and Wood's surging magical power, so it was to be expected that it would shatter.

The moment the red magic circle appeared, the temperature in the entire spacious room instantly more than doubled.

With a huge tongue of fire shooting out, a scorching pillar of fire, like a volcanic eruption, also spewed towards the nine-headed dragon, carrying lava!

King-level magician Wood only mastered water and fire magic, and compared to water magic, which is suitable for defense, the destructive power of violent fire magic is much stronger.

The fire-king level magic that Wood is currently using is arguably one of his strongest attack methods.

According to the information provided by the Wolf King, the nine-headed dragon that guards the moving maze seems to be weak in fire magic, which is why Wood risked injury to force a shot at it.

"This dragon breath is stronger than I imagined. It can't even completely block a water saint-level spell. Moreover, the opponent can release such an attack up to nine times in one go!"

It seems I can't conserve my magic anymore. To withstand more than three dragon breaths, I must use a Water King-level spell; otherwise, even I will be in danger.

Wood, who fell from the ceiling, spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although the dragon breath released by the nine-headed dragon was mostly neutralized by the water saint-level magic, it still caused him great damage.

If it weren't for the fact that the clothes he was wearing were made from the fur of the red wolf, which provided some fire immunity, the injuries he had suffered might have been far greater.

Just as Wood drew one of his spare wands from his waist, preparing to cast a healing spell on himself, a faint green glow suddenly appeared on his body, and the injuries he had just suffered from the dragon's breath began to heal at an extremely fast pace.
