Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Unlike them, I never intended to underestimate you from the beginning, because from the moment you stood before me, the little sprites beside me kept issuing warnings to me.

They told me you are a rather dangerous being. Since even the elves are so wary, it means you must possess not only swordsmanship but also astonishing magical power, right?

Julius Jucrius, born into a noble family, possesses a dignified appearance and elegant manners; he is a knight skilled in both literature and martial arts.

His abilities in swordsmanship, magic, and strategy are all outstanding, earning him the trust of other knights, which is why he is known as the "best knight".

Because the qualities he possessed perfectly matched the virtues of a knight, it was as if the word "knight" was originally used to describe Julius.

Chapter 352 The Overpowered Sword Saint: Wood is very strong!

“My name is Wood, and as you might guess, I’m just an ordinary poor man from a remote area.”

"I dare not presume to offer guidance, after all, you seem to possess a series of rather impressive titles such as 'King's Sword' and 'Best Knight.'"

The moment Julius appeared before Wood, Wood realized that the man was definitely not just a pretty face.

Since Wood came into this world, he has met a number of people, though not a particularly large number either.

Among those who could give him a sense of danger, Reinhard was one, Puck and Emilia together were half, and Julius, who was standing in front of him now, could also be considered half.

In other words, the feeling that Julius gave Wood was stronger than that of Elsa, Priscilla, and others before.

Julius drew his sword and gave Wood a very elegant knightly salute. Then, in the next second, his figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Saying it disappeared might not be accurate; it's more accurate to say that the other party's movement speed was so fast that ordinary people couldn't keep up with it with their naked eyes.

"No way, is Julius actually serious? Does that mean his opponent is going to be killed in an instant?"

Julius's strength is such that, without exaggeration, almost everyone in the entire Royal Guard Knights, except for the overpowered Sword Saint Reinhard, is no match for him.

If Reinhard were to remove the power of "Blessing", his swordsmanship might not be much stronger than Julius'.

It was precisely because Julius was strong enough that the members of the Knights watching the battle were surprised that Julius had been so serious from the very beginning.

From any perspective, the speed that Julius just unleashed has already exceeded the normal level of the team members during their training.

Julius's blessing is called "Blessing of Enchantment," a blessing that makes it easy for elves to like or be close to him, allowing him to share vision and talk with elves.

Because he was naturally favored and approached by elves, Julius possessed the aptitude for six types of magic. By diligently practicing knightly swordsmanship and forming a contract with six quasi-elves of all six attributes, he mastered various spells to enhance his combat abilities.

Simply put, Julius and Wood are actually the same type of swordsman, belonging to the category of magical swordsmen who combine magic with swordsmanship.

Just like Julius right now, he has communicated with the wind spirits in the atmosphere and used wind magic to accelerate his sprint.

With the added bonus of wind magic, Julius's movement speed has reached a level that even the knights of the Knights Order find difficult to catch.

But what surprised everyone watching was that the boy, whom everyone thought was a country bumpkin and would be instantly killed by Julius, actually reacted when Julius disappeared!

"Ding------!"

As a powerful gust of wind swept out from all sides, the two longswords, which were different in style but of similar length, collided directly, generating a large number of sparks.

All the knights present who were watching the battle could hardly believe that what they were seeing was real.

The boy they had previously regarded as a country bumpkin actually unleashed a speed no less than Julius's the moment Julius moved, and directly blocked Julius's sword.

"I have a very good speed, but in terms of strength, I seem to have the advantage."

The two longswords clashed, but the stalemate didn't last long. Soon, Julius felt a tremendous force acting directly on him through his arm.

Then, to Julius's astonishment, the powerful force completely overwhelmed him and forcibly sent him flying.

Julius, whose body was knocked away and is currently suspended in the air, is quite aware that it is very difficult to adjust one's position while floating.

Considering the speed and power Wood had just displayed, Julius reacted quickly, gripping his knight's longsword in one hand and stretching out the other, conjuring fireballs.

The magicians in this world use magic through the magic power (Odor) within their own bodies, releasing magic through "doors".

Since a magician's magic power is stored internally, its strength varies depending on the size and number of their individual "gates".

Due to Julius's "Blessing of the Enchanted Spirit," he gained magic of six attributes, and the size of the "gate" also became larger than that of an ordinary person under the blessing of the spirit.

Nearly ten fireballs, originally only the size of ping-pong balls, burst forth from in front of Julius and instantly expanded in the wind.

When it flew towards Wood at different angles and trajectories, its size was already comparable to that of a football.

However, despite the dozens of huge fireballs falling from the sky, Wood, who was still standing in place, did not show any panic. Instead, he showed a look of fighting spirit.

"A swordsman who also knows how to use magic—to be honest, this is the first time I've encountered such an opponent besides myself in all this time."

Water Saint-level magic: Water Curtain Barrier!

Wood, who also extended one hand, opened the "door" in his body and unleashed powerful magic.

With a slight tremor in the ground, a torrent of water burst through the surface, forming a water barrier right in front of Wood.

When the nearly ten fireballs released by Rius collided with the waterfall, the flames and water produced a violent physical reaction, and thick white mist instantly filled the entire area.

"That country bumpkin... no, that newcomer is actually a genius knight who, like Julius, has mastered both swordsmanship and magic!"

Although Wood and Julius had only exchanged a few blows, no one in the audience dared to underestimate Wood anymore.

To put it bluntly, just the fact that Wood initially blocked Julius's sword, and the water magic he released afterward, was enough to make a difference.

The strength he displayed was among the best, even within the kingdom's Royal Guard Knights.

"Huh, it's quite unusual to see someone doing a 'Knight Simulation Battle' today."

"Indeed, Captain Marcus is very stingy. The 'Knight Simulation Battle' is a type of field magic that cannot be cast by an individual, so it consumes a lot of resources each time. How come he's willing to use it for training this time?"

While the "Knight Simulation Battle" was still ongoing, two figures arrived late to report to the Knights Order.

If Wood were here right now, he would have noticed these two latecomers, one of whom was Reinhard, whom he had met before.

As for the other one, she was a cat-like demi-human who looked extremely feminine, but whose chest was so flat it was as if it were made out of stone.

Despite looking like a pretty young girl and dressing in a rather feminine style, this guy is actually a genuine cross-dresser named Felix Argyle.

Felix is ​​also a member of the Royal Guard Knights, and is the Kingdom of Lugnica's foremost user of healing magic, as well as the youngest inheritor of the title of "Blue," the highest-ranking healer.

Although he is not very good at fighting, he should be able to rank among the top five in the Royal Guard Knights. He is also a good friend of Reinhard and Julius.

The reason the two were late today was because Felt, who had been brought back to the capital by Reinhard, was making a scene again, insisting on returning to the slums, and ended up injuring herself.

That's why Reinhard asked Felix to help with the treatment.

What the two of them didn't expect was that the Knights would be so lively today when they were late.

"Commander, what day is it today? Who is conducting a knight simulation battle?"

Judging from the remaining mana on the field, the battle seemed to have been quite intense.

Reinhard and Felix, who had just arrived at the Knights, soon spotted Marcus watching the battle with his arms crossed not far away. They took the initiative to go up and greet him.

As for Reinhard and Phoenix, two outstanding knights in the Order, Marcus, who was watching the thick white mist on the field, said: "It is Reinhard and a young man who is preparing to join the Order."

Upon hearing what Marcus said, Phoenix immediately showed a surprised expression and said, "Julius? A newcomer who just joined the Knights can fight Julius to this extent!"

Who is this person? Could they be a knight trained by some powerful family in the capital?

As a fellow member of the same knight order and a close friend, Phoenix was well aware of Julius's strength, which is why he was so surprised by the residual magic power permeating the arena.

"The other party is not a knight trained by a large family, but was introduced by Priscilla, one of the candidates for the throne over there."

His previous profession seemed to be that of a thug… no, judging from the current situation, he didn't seem to be an ordinary thug.

"Rogue... If a rogue has such skills, wouldn't the young girls in the capital be in trouble?"

Phoenix said half-jokingly, but he found Marcus looking serious, as if he was really thinking about what he was saying.

"No way, someone who can go toe-to-toe with the 'Best Knight' is actually a thug? This is really..."

Before Felix could finish speaking, the white mist formed by the fireball evaporating on the field was already blown away by the gale created by the collision between Wood and Julius.

As the white mist dissipated, Julius and Wood reappeared before everyone.

When Phoenix saw Wood clashing swords with Julius, his reaction was alright; he was merely amazed by Wood's youth and strength.

However, Reinhard, who was standing next to him, exclaimed with extreme surprise the moment he saw Wood's figure: "So it's Wood! I knew the kingdom had so many powerful swordsmen who could even rival Julius."

Marcus and Phoenix observed Reinhard's reaction; Reinhard clearly recognized the mysterious boy who fought Julius.

"So, Reinhard, you actually know that boy, don't you? Who exactly is he?"

At this moment, both Marcus and Phoenix turned their gazes to Reinhard beside them, clearly curious about Wood's identity.

"Strictly speaking, I'm not that familiar with Wood, but the reason I was able to find Lord Felt last time was because of Wood's assistance."

Furthermore, due to a misunderstanding, I even had a fight with him, so I know he's very strong.

Upon hearing Reinhardt's words, Marcus and Phoenix looked even more surprised.

That handsome young man on the field actually fought Reinhard despite being mistaken for an enemy, yet he still managed to survive!

"And the result? You definitely won, right? After all, you are the strongest 'Sword Saint' in history."

Many people believe that even if the legendary Witch of Envy were to be resurrected, she might not be able to defeat you.

Marcus and Phoenix both believed that Reinhard had won the battle, since they were well aware that the Sword Saint in front of them was an overpowered character.

What they were curious about was how long Wood had held out against Reinhard and to what extent the battle had escalated.

"To be honest, although I won that battle, I didn't feel like I won."

Because in the end, Wood himself surrendered and admitted defeat, and cleared up the misunderstanding.
