Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

"I don't know... that level of magic has far exceeded the limits that humans can possess."

If we really have to count it in units, I think it would probably take two entire magic teams to cast it.

Upon hearing Phoenix's words, Crusch fell silent, muttering, "So, to unleash magic of that level, you need around two hundred mages, is that right..."

A full-fledged mage squad typically consists of around one hundred people, so two squads would be two hundred. This means the magic Wood just unleashed was equivalent to the power of two full-fledged mage squads!

"Kursh-chan, don't overlook other factors. The magic just now didn't unleash its full power before it was dispelled by him."

Moreover, such precise and skillful control of magic power indicates that the strength of this spell and the magic power it consumes are far from his limit…

As a highly skilled mage, Phoenix saw far more than others, and that is why he looked at the figure in the center of the arena with an expression full of amazement.

Previously, Phoenix was somewhat skeptical about Wood's ability to fight Reinhard to a draw, since he hadn't witnessed it firsthand.

But now, Phoenix has absolutely no doubt about this record.

A terrifying physique strong enough to kick a white whale away with a single kick, swordsmanship so exquisite that even the Sword Saint and the best knight couldn't praise it enough, and inhuman magical power and magical attainments...

Wood in front of him could almost be considered a true monster, with virtually no weaknesses.

Although Reinhard is known as an overpowered character, he does have some shortcomings, namely his lack of strategic acumen and inability to use magic.

But Wood was different. Whether it was physical fitness, swordsmanship, or magic, this guy had reached the top, even the superhuman level.

In a sense, Wood is more like a monster than Reinhard, a true monster without any weaknesses or shortcomings, and whose strength is also exceptionally high!

As the white mist from the beluga whale was blown away, the surroundings became completely visible.

When everyone present saw the beluga whale that had plowed a deep trench in the ground, and Wood standing next to it, they were completely stunned.

Because of the dense fog, although they heard the mournful cry of the white whale and the huge commotion from the ground, they did not expect that the white whale, known as the fog beast among the three great magical beasts and having caused trouble for more than 400 years, would be defeated by Wood so quickly.

“Woooooooooooooooooooo!”

With the thick fog no longer obstructing their view, the remaining two parts of the beluga whale were exposed to everyone's sight.

The two beluga whales, now separated from each other, were also covered in wounds from the fierce battle fought by the old gentleman.

Upon seeing Wood, one of the beluga whales immediately abandoned the persistent sword demon Wilhelm and charged headlong into Wood's location.

Chapter 369 The Sloth Archbishop Instantly Killed by Purification Magic

"Hmm, there are actually three Mist Beasts? No, this one's magic power is far less than that of the one lying on the ground."

In other words, you think these mere counterfeit goods dare to challenge me?

Although the beluga whale's clones are not as strong as its main body, their massive bodies, exceeding fifty meters in length, are genuine.

Leaving aside magic and abilities, its sheer size alone would crush even the strongest orc into a bloody pulp the moment it crashed down.

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Itto-ryu - Jorogumo!"

Seeing the white whale crash down like a giant airship, Wood, who was standing still, did not move, but instead gripped his knight's sword tightly.

The black Armament Haki, like ivy, spread from his arm at a visible speed and quickly coated the knight's longsword with a black outer layer.

Then, with streaks of blue trails in the air, a giant spiderweb made of slashes suddenly appeared in front of Wood.

Because Wood drew his sword so fast, many people couldn't even see whether his arm had moved at all.

When the beluga whale's clone crashed into Wood, it clearly didn't expect a large blue net to suddenly appear in front of it.

Driven by biological instinct, the beluga whale's clone sensed the danger, but it was unable to stop itself. So it could only rely on its incredibly strong white fur to crash into the danger!

As a large amount of blood splattered, when the white whale's clone crashed into the spiderweb-like slashes, its white fur, which had a certain resistance to both magic and physical attacks, was completely useless this time.

When the beluga whale's massive body crashed into the blue spiderweb in front of it, its enormous body was almost instantly dismembered in space, forming giant chunks of flesh resembling tofu blocks that fell from the sky.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was instantly stunned.

It should be noted that ordinary swords can only leave white marks on the surface of the white whale. Even a powerful figure like "Sword Demon" Wilhelm can only inflict damage on the white whale, but cannot inflict a so-called fatal wound.

But what they saw now was that the white whale, one of the three great demonic beasts and a creature that had been causing trouble for over 400 years, was torn to pieces in the blink of an eye!

Although the clone does not have the same strength as the original body, apart from lacking the original body's powerful self-healing ability, the clone's physical strength is almost no different from the original body's.

With one less clone to entangle him, the Sword Demon Wilhelm quickly killed the other, already badly wounded, white whale clone.

When "Sword Demon" Wilhelm landed on the ground, looking at his clone that had been chopped into pieces by Wood, and the unconscious white whale body lying to the side, he also showed a complicated expression.

No one knew how powerful the White Whale was better than Wilhelm the Sword Demon, because his wife Theresa died at his hands.

Over the years, Wilhelm has been searching for the white whale while also honing his swordsmanship.

Because he was quite clear that compared to the long lifespan of magical beasts, the lifespan of humans was quite limited, and the same was true during their peak strength.

When Wilhelm received news of the white whale from Julius, he even thought that with his own strength and the assistance of the Karlsten family, he could avenge his wife this time.

However, when he actually came into contact with the beluga whale, he realized just how optimistic his previous ideas had been.

The white whale possesses the ability to create clones, splitting into two bodies. I couldn't even defeat either of its clones, let alone defeat the white whale.

When the Archbishop of Sloth, the great sinner of the Witch Cult, intruded, Wilhelm already knew that the White Whale expedition had failed.

However, when Crusch ordered a retreat, Wilhelm had no intention of leaving at all.

The reason is quite simple: although beluga whales are frequently seen, their ability makes it difficult to track them down.

Now that he's reached this age, he doesn't know if he'll ever have the chance to meet the white whale that killed his wife again in the rest of his life.

For this reason, Wilhelm chose to fight to the death when Crusch and his men decided to retreat.

When the old gentleman decided to come and hunt the white whale, he made up his mind that if he failed to kill the white whale, he would choose to die here.

Unfortunately, the white whale's strength far exceeded his previous estimates. With his aging body, he couldn't even manage to take the whale down with him.

Just as Wilhelm was fighting the two clones of the white whale in the thick fog, thinking that even if he couldn't kill the white whale, he should still make the most of his remaining strength to kill the two clones and buy Crusch and the others more time to escape, the thick fog that enveloped the surroundings was dispelled.

What Wilhelm found even more unbelievable was that when the thick fog dissipated, the beluga whale that appeared in his sight had its horn broken off and lay dead in front of a young man, its fate unknown.

In the midst of his mental lapse, one of the two beluga whales that he had been entangled with broke free of his attack range and crashed headfirst into the young man on the ground.

Wilhelm didn't know how the white whale was defeated, but when he saw Wood next to the white whale, he felt that it was inextricably linked to this young man.

It's already quite remarkable that such a young knight was able to defeat the White Whale. He's probably exhausted by now. If the White Whale's clone succeeds in its sneak attack, and that young man dies, he won't even have the chance to repay his debt of gratitude.

However, just as Wilhelm was abandoning everything, even ignoring the attack from another white whale clone behind him, in an attempt to save Wood, the young knight, whom he thought was already exhausted, suddenly made his move...

And the next second Wilhelm was horrified to discover that the young knight on the ground did not need his assistance at all.

Because the white whale clone that had been fighting him for so long could not even withstand one of the opponent's attacks, it was directly chopped into a pile of meat by that knight!

Wilhelm was known as the "Sword Demon" in the past. Before the current overpowered swordsman Reinhard grew up, he was the strongest swordsman in all of Lugnica. Even the former swordsman, his wife Theresa, was no match for him.

Although he is now old, Wilhelm is certain that, apart from a few people like Reinhard, his swordsmanship is among the top three in Lugnica.

Wood clearly possesses such formidable strength and swordsmanship, yet he has never seen this young man before.

"My name is Wilhelm van Astreya. Thank you for your help in defeating this mist monster. May I ask your name..."

The old gentleman landed in front of Wood, regardless of Wood's position, and first gave a slight bow, demonstrating the utmost courtesy.

Regardless of Wood's background or age, Wilhelm felt that Wood deserved his respect and gratitude simply because of his strength and the fact that he helped him defeat the White Whale.

"My name is Wood Hossin. There's no need for thanks. The reason I'm here is not to slay the Mist Beast or to become a High Sin Archbishop."

I only came because I was worried about my sister; as for helping you, that was just a side benefit.

Because he was unaware of the personal feud between the White Whale and the Sword Demon, Wood was somewhat puzzled by Wilhelm's gratitude, and Wood simply didn't have time to deal with Wilhelm at the moment.

"Those witch cult leaders over there, aren't you thinking of leaving now? Isn't it a bit too late?"

The beluga whale's main body was kicked away, and its clone was instantly killed with a single strike. Now, even the thick fog has been dispelled in an instant. Sloth no longer dares to stay and wait for death.

He had previously thought that Wood only possessed a strong physique and amazing swordsmanship, but the wind magic that just dispelled the white whale made him realize that.

Wood, whom he had previously labeled a monster, was far more monstrous than he had imagined; calling him a beast of burden would not be an exaggeration.

In addition to his powerful swordsmanship and physique, the opponent also possessed superhuman magical power!

Sloth is an elf, currently residing in a human body. In terms of magic and magical talent, elves are far more gifted than humans.

When Wood cast that wind magic, it made the elf Sloth truly understand what real freakness meant!

When he saw Wood targeting him again, Sloth lost his previous confidence and turned to run away.

In addition, while escaping, Sloth also used another of his abilities called "Sloth's Fingertips".

This ability allows Sloth to unilaterally impose a coercive contract, injecting the body's Sloth factor into a person with high aptitude, and achieving the goal of manipulating the other party.

Those affected by the Sloth Factor are called "Fingertips" and possess the power of the "Invisible Hand".

Of course, the "invisible hand" possessed by the fingertips is completely incomparable to Sloth in terms of power and quantity.

However, Sloth doesn't expect these "fingertips" to defeat Wood now; he only hopes they can help him hold Wood back.

The witch cult followers who accompanied Sloth were originally selected by Sloth, and they also had a very high aptitude for the Sloth factor.

Therefore, under the influence of the Sloth Factor, these witch cultists quickly became "Fingertips" and, under the power of "Mental Pollution," completely lost their minds and rushed towards Wood.

The "Fingertips of Sloth" can have up to ten people, and at this moment, Sloth has brought this power to its limit. Under the influence of its ability, the ten followers of the Witch Cult immediately removed their black robes, revealing the same manic expression as Sloth, and used the "Hand of the Invisible" on Wood.

"The so-called bishops of great sins are nothing more than this; they only ever use the same trick."

"Simply having enough quantity doesn't guarantee a qualitative change! Hyakki Mightyō-ryū—Mist Demon!"
