Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

However, it was still an "Emperor-level" magic. Although the coat made of red wolf fur had some fire immunity, it quickly reached its limit against this level of magic and began to be gradually burned by the flames.

At the same time, while his body was being burned, the healing magic circle on Wood's body continuously emitted a bright light, constantly healing Wood's body.

In terms of effect alone, the healing magic circles engraved on various parts of the body by Wood's runes are quite similar to the regenerative ability of the 9-headed dragon.

The only drawback is that Wood's magic circle cannot cover his entire body, so at this moment, the only places with healing effects are his vital organs and limbs.

Furthermore, because it is a magic circle that is engraved on, it will be destroyed if it is attacked too many times or too strongly.

Healing magic from magic circles also consumes magic power. Unlike the Hydra, Wood doesn't have an entire moving maze as a source of magic power, so his healing effects have certain limitations and limits.

Chapter 276 Wood, the Lamp Out of Oil

Despite the healing magic circle engraved on his body, Wood still suffered burns covering more than 50% of his body due to the all-around engulfment of flames!

The wounds on his body were now completely charred black, and the blood had been completely dried up.

Even after suffering such great injuries, Wood was still numbly swinging his twin swords.

Thanks to the healing magic, his vital parts and limbs, though also affected by the flames, were barely able to retain the strength to fight.

What Wood never expected was that the hydra, which should have had extremely strong magic immunity, was actually more seriously injured than him after enduring the baptism of fire along with him!

Wood had fought the Hydra a few times, and what impressed him most was its extremely strong magic immunity and terrifying regeneration ability.

Wood had used "King-level" magic on the opponent more than once before, but none of them had been very effective.

Even when he used the power of the "Heart of God" to unleash "Emperor-level" magic, it only resulted in his opponent feeling relaxed.

If Wood could withstand the baptism of the Flame Pillar, then the Nine-Headed Dragon should have no problem at all.

However, at this moment, the nine-headed dragon let out an extremely painful scream as it was being baptized by the flames, clearly indicating that the magic had caused it great damage.

After careful observation, Wood finally discovered the reason why the hydra was injured.

What gives the Hydra its powerful magic immunity, just like the fur that gave the Wolf King and the others fire immunity, is its metallic-looking dragon scales.

However, unlike before, this time when the nine-headed dragon's body was being baptized by flames, its scales had been chopped to pieces by Wood.

Without the protection of dragon scales, the nine-headed dragon naturally loses its proud high level of magic resistance.

It was for this reason that it let out a wail under the baptism of flames.

Furthermore, through observation, Wood also discovered that the information the Wolf King had previously heard was correct.

The weakness of the hydra is indeed fire magic, or rather... after losing the high magic resistance of its dragon scales, the hydra's greatest fear is fire magic.

Because of the corrosive effect of the flames, even the Hydra's troublesome regenerative ability was rendered ineffective!

The flames continued to scorch his wounds, completely halting the healing process and charring them to a crisp.

The 9-headed dragon can survive being beheaded or having its heart bitten off because of its abnormal regenerative ability.

Once the weakness of the opponent's regenerative ability is known, the problem becomes simple.

Having discovered the weakness of the Hydra, Wood saw a glimmer of hope for victory and naturally could no longer act recklessly like a berserker as before.

"shave------!"

Despite the burning pain in his body and the fact that his feet were already blackened from the heat, Wood shattered the ground he was fighting with in a single leap, and his figure instantly appeared behind the nine-headed dragon.

As a blade of wind swept through the air, one of the nine-headed dragon's massive heads fell to the ground.

"Saint-level Fire Magic: Crimson Nova!"

And this time, after Wood severed the head of the nine-headed dragon, as the flesh and blood of its neck writhed, he immediately followed up with a Saint-level fire spell.

The flesh and blood, which had not yet completed its regeneration, immediately lost all vitality after being baptized by the flames, and the severed head of the nine-headed dragon did not grow back.

"Moonwalk! Shave! Moonwalk! Shave!"

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Ittō-ryu - Kamaitachi! Kamaitachi! Kamaitachi!"

Using the high-speed Moonwalk and Shave technique, he continuously evaded the attacks of the Nine-Headed Dragon. Then, he used Observation Haki to predict the dragon's breath and dodge it.

Finally, by continuously using "Kamaitachi" to cut off the nine-headed dragon's heads one by one, and using holy-level fire magic to finish off the enemy, the dragon was prevented from regenerating.

The battle has continued until now. Although Wood has grasped the weakness of the Hydra, it's really not surprising who will win or lose in this battle.

If Wood were at full strength and challenged the Hydra again, knowing its weaknesses, he wouldn't even need to use the power of the "Heart of God." With just a little more effort, Wood would still be able to defeat it.

However, the key point is that there are no "what ifs". The safest approach would have been to leave the room now, regroup, and wait until you are fully recovered before challenging your opponent.

But the key issue is that Wood can't retreat now. He can easily evacuate on his own, but what about the comatose Wolf King and Senis?

Wood had no confidence that he could escape the pursuit of the nine-headed dragon with the man and the beast.

Wood, who doesn't want to give up on anyone, has no choice but to fight Hydra to the death, and now he has to carefully plan every step he takes.

The previous spells, along with the subsequent Emperor-level spells and the healing magic circle that was constantly healing his body, were all consuming his body's magic power at a high intensity.

Now, when faced with the breath of the Hydra, Wood doesn't even dare to use magic to defend against it, because even if he finds the Hydra's weakness, he still needs to leave enough magic power to destroy it.

Fire magic capable of preventing the hydra from regenerating and causing damage to it must at least reach the Saint-level standard.

The opponent has nine heads, meaning that while severing these heads, Wood must retain enough magic power to use at least nine holy-level fire spells.

To conserve his mana, Wood could only push his Observation Haki, Shave, and Moonwalk to their limits, constantly dodging the Hydra's breath and bites.

Even when faced with a situation where there is absolutely no way to dodge, Wood can only forcefully adjust his body to prevent the attack from hitting his vital points, ensuring that he is still in a fighting state.

To avoid running out of magic power to finish off the enemy, Wood even stopped using the healing magic circle on his body.

The lack of sustained healing ability greatly affected Wood's ability to fight a prolonged battle, but fortunately, as the heads of the Hydra were continuously severed, its offensive power and threat level were also constantly decreasing.

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu: Dual-Sword Style Secret Technique: Ryomen Suku!"

A phantom of Shura, filled with a mixture of anger and joy, appeared behind Wood. With his twin swords, he unleashed two black and white slashes in an "X" shape, completely severing the remaining three heads and body of the nine-headed dragon into several pieces. Wood, utterly exhausted, collapsed to the ground.

Weakness from numerous injuries, intense physical fatigue, mental confusion from excessive magical effects, and the aftereffects of the 'Heart of God'.

These side effects all came at once, even completely draining Wood's body.

However, Wood, who had fallen to the ground, bit his tongue with his teeth, using the pain to resist his fading consciousness!

Chapter 277 The Last Emperor-Level Magic!

The final Hundred Demon Sword Style technique, though it cleaved the Nine-Headed Dragon into several pieces, still caused the flesh and blood that fell to the ground to writhe, clearly indicating that it was not completely dead yet.

"Even if I have to wash it, I'm going to drag you down with me... to the grave!"

Emperor-level Fire Magic: Crimson Lotus Purgatory - Finale!

Wood, who bit his tongue to keep himself awake, looked at the not-yet-completely-dead hydra and let out a muffled roar. Then he barely managed to extend his right hand and make a grasping motion towards the air in front of him.

The little magic power that was left in her body was completely drained.

The red magic circle that had been floating on the ground before now emitted a dazzling light the moment Wood made a single hand gesture, and gradually began to shrink!

When the red magic circle shrank to only one-tenth of its original size under the nine-headed dragon, the fire element within it was compressed to its most concentrated state!

"boom------!"

With a deafening roar, the magic displayed the destructive power befitting an "Emperor-level" spell, causing the entire moving maze to shake and turning half of the enormous room into a crimson inferno.

The intense heat of the crimson lotus flames instantly turned the surrounding ground into magma, and the writhing remains of the nine-headed dragon could not withstand the high temperature for long before being completely consumed.

After using this last spell, Wood's body was completely drained, and he fell into a coma.

Although the magic circle ultimately contracted and exploded at the location of the nine-headed dragon, Wood was not far from the dragon's location and was also affected by the aftershocks of the Emperor-level magic.

The powerful high-temperature storm blew Wood away, and his coat made of red wolf fur had already been burned by the flames, so now he had large areas of burns on his body.

As Wood's body, which resembled a tattered sack, was blown away and slid a distance of a hundred meters before landing, Norren and Aisha, the only two unharmed people in the room, rushed over in a panic.

When the two girls saw Senis and the Wolf King being slammed against the wall and unconscious, they were actually quite anxious and wanted to come over.

However, they always remembered Wood's instructions to them: no matter what happened, they were not allowed to enter the fighting range.

Because they not only won't help, they'll also cause trouble.

The two little girls finally couldn't sit still any longer when Wood, looking utterly miserable, was blown out of the center of the explosion by the flames.

Upon seeing Wood's extremely miserable appearance, even on the verge of death, Norren and Aisha completely forgot Wood's previous instructions. They mounted the red dire wolves beside them and urged them to Wood's side.

Looking at the figure on the ground, whose clothes were completely destroyed and whose skin was severely burned on nearly half of his body, and whose once dazzling blond hair was also burned away, Norren and Aisha could not believe that this was their handsome and powerful brother, Wood.

For a long time, Wood had been the most antagonistic person in the world in the eyes of Norman and Aisha.

He is both gentle and knowledgeable, not only handsome but also very powerful. Although they all have the same face, Rudy often makes them feel a bit sleazy.

"Liar... How could Brother Wood have become like this? Noren is going to kill that bad guy!"

Seeing Wood's miserable state, Norren and Aisha burst into tears. Norren was filled with rage and was ready to grab his wand and rush towards the lava area to settle scores with the villains who had injured her mother and brother.

However, before Norren dared to take a step, his arm was grabbed by Aisha, who was standing beside him.

"What! Aren't you angry, Aisha? Don't you want to avenge Brother Wood and the others?!"

Noren, who was being held back, was quite dissatisfied. At only a few years old, she didn't consider whether she was a match for the other person. She only knew that the other person had hurt her family, so she had to fight back.

"Noren, instead of seeking revenge on the bad guys, what's more important right now is treating Brother Wood. Do you want to see Brother Wood die in front of us?"

Compared to Noren, who is a little older than her, Aisha is clearly more mature because of the high-pressure education Lilia gave her from a young age.
