Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

"There's nothing special about it. You just need to tell me where you were injured before, even if you're standing still."

Unsure how long the treatment would take, Ram hesitated for a moment before finally sitting on Wood's bed, while Rem stood nervously to the side with her hands clasped together.

"Saint-level Healing Magic - Healing Wind!"

In the windless room, a green magic circle unfolded in front of Wood, and a gentle breeze carrying a green glow blew out from the magic circle.

Surrounded by a gentle breeze, Ram felt completely relaxed. Not only did all her fatigue disappear, but her body also began to sense the magic in the air, something she hadn't felt in a long time.

At the spot where the broken horn was originally on its head, the magic power was now gathering the most. As the green glow continued to gather, a phantom horn began to condense on Ram's forehead, which made Rem, who was standing next to her, look excited.

Ram's magic power continued to rise, but after a short while, the green magic circle in front of Wood began to shatter...

Almost the instant the magic circle shattered in front of Wood, the phantom horn that had formed on Ram's head also gradually disappeared, and the magic power that had been rising on his body began to leak out rapidly like a giant funnel.

"As expected, I knew that regaining my strength was almost impossible."

But this is for the best; after finally giving up, I feel much lighter.

Despite feeling her magic power rapidly draining from her body, Ram was unusually calm, as if she had been mentally prepared for it all along.

Undeniably, Wood's abilities are indeed unique. Just now, under the other party's healing ability, Ram did feel and absorb magic power, something he hadn't done in a long time.

However, in that situation, Wood needs to keep the magic circle running continuously. Once Wood cancels the use of magic, Ram will be directly reverted to his original form.

"Why is this happening...? Rem just felt her sister's demon power recovering."

Mr. Wood, shall we try one more time? Just one more time!

Compared to Ram, who was quite easygoing, Rem was clearly more devastated by the failure of the healing magic, and at this moment she was even more unwilling to give up and begged Wood to try again.

"Rem, didn't we agree that even if we failed, we wouldn't be sad? At least we're still together now, aren't we?"

Despite losing her power and being unable to recover, Ram is now the one comforting Rem.

And Rem clearly still couldn't accept Ram's comforting words; for Ram, her sister Rem was everything.

But for Rem, the same goes for her sister Ram. Her sister Ram became the way she is because of her, and if her sister cannot regain her power, then Rem will never be redeemed in her life.

"Although I don't know what happened in your past, it seems that you, young lady, are carrying a rather heavy burden on yourself."

Family is someone who can always accept your existence and stand together with you like this. That is already a great blessing. Never let your family make you cry, understand?

I think I can understand your sister's feelings. She cares more about you than about so-called power.

So you are you, and you don't need to be anyone's substitute. That's what the person who would give everything to protect you wants to see.

Looking at Ram and Rem in front of him, Wood seemed to see Rudy, Senis, Noren, and Aisha from the Mushoku Tensei series.

Every Sim is a real experience for Wood, so he can understand Ram's willingness to sacrifice everything for Rem.

Besides, Wood wasn't talking nonsense. Compared to Wood Grellatt, who died trying to stop the Dragon God, Ram and Rem were indeed lucky.

Although Ram has lost most of her power, at least they are still able to live and stand together.

Hearing Wood's heartfelt words, which he suddenly spoke with such empathy, Ram and Rem were both stunned.

After Wood said those words, Ram's opinion of him improved dramatically once again.

People with similar experiences and feelings can often gain understanding and empathy, and Ram could clearly feel that Wood, like himself, had done something for his important family members, which is why he could say such things.

"That's true, but I can understand how heavy the psychological burden must be for those families who are being protected."

Fine, since I've decided to help you, I might as well go all the way.

"Considering that you have had similar experiences to mine, I will help you remove these mental shackles."

Seemingly thinking about the pressure Rudy would face in the Mushoku Tensei world because of his rescue, Wood hesitated for a moment before deciding to do everything in his power to help the oni sisters in front of him.

Ram: "But the magic didn't work before, right? Even if we try a few more times, the result should be the same, right?"

Wood: "It's not that it's useless, it's just that the effect isn't obvious enough. Since even Saint-level healing magic doesn't work, then we can use Emperor-level or even God-level magic!"

Chapter 358 Choosing the Maid Who Gives Away Free

Rem didn't understand what "Emperor-level" and "Divine Skill" meant, but she roughly understood what Wood meant.

In other words, Wood hadn't used his full strength yet, and there's still hope that her sister Ram can regain the power of the demon race!

Among the magic that Wood possesses, healing magic is considered to be of a very high standard.

However, in the world of Jobless Reincarnation, healing magic is also the most difficult, as can be seen from the fact that even Rudy, with his immense magical power, could not master it.

Those who can master healing magic are usually either clergy or possess special talents.

Thanks to Senis's bloodline, Wood also mastered healing magic and reached the Saint-level.

Healing magic at the Saint level is already capable of healing old wounds and scars, such as the burns Wood suffered from the hydra.

The horn that Ram lost was, strictly speaking, an old injury, so a Saint-level healing spell should theoretically be effective against it.

However, probably because Ram's "Demon Horn" is a relatively high-level existence, far superior to Wood's previous burned skin, the "Saint-level" healing magic only had an effect but could not restore it.

"A power even stronger than that healing power from before? It shouldn't be the kind of power that doesn't require any cost, right?"

Ram had already sensed the recovery of her strength when Wood used healing magic earlier, so Wood was definitely doing his "best" job in using magic.

If it possesses even more powerful magic or spells, then it indicates that this is its most powerful secret, which could be some kind of secret technique or item.

Regardless of the type, they are clearly quite precious, and what the two sisters currently possess is simply insufficient to pay for them.

Hearing Ram's words, Rem also looked at Wood in front of her. Theoretically speaking, they didn't have much of a relationship with Wood and had no right to demand that he pay a price to help them.

However, if it were out of personal selfishness, Rem would also hope that Wood could help her sister.

So, after weighing the two options, Rem could only look at Wood and say, "If Mr. Wood can really help my sister regain her power, Rem is willing to follow Mr. Wood to the death, even if it means becoming a slave!"

Although Rem and Ram are maids at Roswaal's mansion, Rem and Roswaal are not actually in a subordinate relationship.

Ram only chose to follow Roswaal because he saved them from the Oni village.

Rem, on the other hand, simply follows wherever her older sister Ram is.

"Your senses are quite sharp. To fully restore your severed demon horn, the power I use will indeed require a certain price, or rather, a certain amount of lifespan."

This power is my last resort for survival, so if possible, I hope you can keep it a secret from others.

As for following me, forget about it. I only decided to help you because I wanted to free you from your sister's shackles.

If you follow me because I saved your sister, wouldn't that make me a burden in place of your sister?

As Wood spoke, a faint silver light began to emanate from his chest, and the runes belonging to the 'Heart of God' gradually appeared before Ram and Rem through Wood's clothes.

Although they couldn't understand runes, they still had the ability to sense magic.

The instant those mysterious silver characters appeared, they could clearly feel that Wood's magical power was surging at a visible speed.

Because Wood's entire room had been surrounded by a barrier beforehand, everything in the small room, from paper and pens to tables and chairs, was now floating due to the sudden magical storm that erupted in the room.

"Emperor-level Healing Magic: The Smile of the Holy Mother!"

The raging magic that swept through the entire room suddenly subsided at a certain moment and began to condense into a holy woman in a white robe, holding a scepter.

The aura emanating from the other party was so pure that even Ram and Rem in front of them felt their own weakness and insignificance.

However, this goddess, who exuded a holy aura, did not feel disgusted by Ram's and Rem's identities as oni. Instead, she reached out and stroked Ram's head like a kind mother.

To be precise, the place that this woman, who resembled a saint, touched was the spot where Ram's horn had been broken.

A vast amount of magic power gathered in the Virgin Mary's hands at an astonishing speed, forming a massive vortex.

As for Ram, the recipient of the treatment, she could feel the demon blood surging rapidly in her body. The small, crystalline horn that had been broken off from her head was now slowly growing back at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This process lasted for several tens of minutes, until finally the Holy Mother disappeared into the air with a faint smile, and a powerful magical fluctuation erupted from Ram's body.

The wind blades that erupted uncontrollably around him instantly turned Wood's room into a mess. The tables, chairs, and bedding were all shredded by the scattered wind blades!

But after everything calmed down, Rem, who was standing to the side, hugged her sister with an excited expression.

Ram, belatedly realizing what was happening, touched the demon horn on his forehead, feeling the abundant magic flowing through his body, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Fortunately, Emperor-level healing magic can heal your demon horn. If even Emperor-level magic is ineffective, then I probably won't have any other options in the short term."

Even with the life-consuming "Heart of God," Wood could only use "Emperor-level" healing magic at most.

As for "god-level" healing magic, Wood is currently unable to do so. Unlike other types of magic, Wood has never heard of any human being able to master "god-level" healing magic in the world of jobless reincarnation.

According to Senis, a follower of the Miri God Cult, god-level healing magic seems to be a power that only gods can wield, and its exaggerated healing power can even bring the dead back to life!

"I am truly grateful for your help. I had already sworn to be loyal to Lord Roswaal, otherwise Ram would have definitely repaid Mr. Wood's kindness in saving me."

Looking at the slightly weakened Wood in front of her, and recalling the incredibly powerful healing force he had just displayed, Ram knew that the man in front of her was not lying; he had truly been sacrificing his life force to help her.

Even the proud and sharp-tongued Ram knelt respectfully before Wood, who was like a second life to him, to express his gratitude.

"Alright, helping you is fulfilling our previous agreement, so there's no need for further words of thanks. Anyway, I don't expect your loyalty."

However, if you really care about your sister, I suggest you don't let her get too close to Roswaal; that guy is not simple.

Of course, given your level of loyalty to it, you might think I'm trying to sow discord, so whether you believe me or not is up to you.

I just didn't want the guy I'd finally managed to help to suddenly die without any explanation.

Ram did indeed harbor unusual feelings towards Roswaal, after all, he had appeared before them when they were at their most helpless.

Moreover, the reason Ram has been able to operate normally all these years is because Roswaal provides Ram with magic power regularly.
