Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Looking at Wood, who was no different from an ordinary person in terms of physique and appearance, Budigandi couldn't help but examine him carefully.

"To be precise, I not only survived him, but I should have injured him a little."

Of course, it's also true that he couldn't defeat him, and he wasn't at his best at the time.

As Buddy Gundy sized up Wood, Wood was also sizing him up. According to his estimation, Buddy Gundy's current strength should indeed be about the same as his own two years ago.

"But as far as I know, shouldn't Rudeus be a mage capable of using Emperor-level magic? And his specialty is also spells that don't require chanting."

"You're not even taking a wand? Are you planning to fight me like this?"

Badigandi can also use magic, and he has a certain level of skill in it. However, judging from his strong muscles and the powerful physique unique to demons, it is not hard to see that Badigandi prefers and is more skilled in hand-to-hand combat than using magic.

Although mages are powerful, they all share a common weakness: compared to martial artists who use battle aura, their physical abilities are generally weaker.

Therefore, when mages fight warriors, they generally maintain a safe distance from the warriors, let alone engage in hand-to-hand combat, in order to make full use of the advantages of magic.

But even someone as experienced as Badigand had never seen a mage like Wood, who stood before him without a wand or any defenses.

"You said it when you fought Alice before, right? You wanted a fair fight on the front lines."

Since you're using your fists directly, how can I possibly use weapons or anything like that?

Upon hearing Wood's words, Budigandi revealed a displeased expression and said, "Are you kidding me?!"

The reason why Badigandi was angry was simple: he was a demon, with an exceptionally strong physique and was skilled in martial arts, so it was quite normal for him to fight unarmed.

However, Rudeus is a magician. Without using a wand, he cannot even use more advanced magic. Moreover, he is so close to him. Is he planning to fight a demon emperor in hand-to-hand combat?

This isn't just playing with him, it's blatant humiliation!

"I think you may have misunderstood. I didn't mean to look down on you at all. On the contrary, I'm quite serious about it."

"It's true that I can use Emperor-level magic, but I don't think I've ever said that I only know how to use magic, have I?"

As Wood spoke, he extended both hands forward, unleashing powerful magic from his body, and two magic circles, one gold and one blue, rapidly appeared in front of his palms.

"King-level Light Attribute Magic - Holy Light Blessing!"

"King-level Ice Attribute Magic - Frost Armor!"

As the first golden magic circle expanded and extended in Wood's hand, an archangel with six wings on his back and a huge holy sword in his hand soon descended from the clouds.

The archangel flicked the six pure white wings on his back and swung the enormous holy sword in his hand, showering down a great deal of holy light.

Because the archangel was so sacred and the scene before them was so real—from the feathers left on the angel's wings to the holy sword in his hand—everything was so real that many of the academy students watching believed they were witnessing a miracle.

Bathed in holy light, Wood's entire body seemed to have been enhanced with special effects, and his skin even had a faint golden halo.

The light-attribute magic that Wood is currently using is not a direct attack magic, but a rare enhancement magic that he recently obtained from the treasury of the Church of Milis.

Although he was pope for only a few minutes, he was still pope. As the former Pope Milis and the current high priest, it shouldn't be too much for him to go to the church's treasury to learn some magic that others couldn't access, right?

Under the influence of this magic, Wood is immune to any abnormal status below the Emperor level for up to ten minutes, and his own attributes are slightly enhanced.

Unfortunately, this attribute boost isn't based on a percentage, so for Wood at the moment, the improvement is minimal, but it's better than nothing.

If Wood were to use this magic on an ordinary person with his magical power, it would probably elevate the opponent from an ordinary person to a saint-level being in one go.

However, Wood's base strength is so great that such an increase seems rather ordinary for him.

As for why Wood still uses it despite the small improvement, it's naturally because the spell is cool enough.

The appearance of the six-winged archangel immediately sets a high standard, and the final golden effect, regardless of its actual combat effectiveness, certainly delivers a stunning visual impact.

Besides the light-attribute enhancement spell "Holy Light Blessing," Wood's other king-level ice-attribute spell, "Frost Armor," is much more effective in actual combat.

Simply put, this magic gathers the moisture in the air around Wood, creating an invisible layer of icy armor on his body, which can protect him from some damage when he is injured.

Because it remains in a state of water vapor when not condensed, this magic will not affect Wood's actions, making it a rather useful auxiliary magic.

After two consecutive "King-level" attacks, Wood's special effects were maxed out. The water vapor-like ice armor, which was originally invisible to the naked eye, became crystal clear under the holy light.

The holy light was dazzling and sacred, the Frost Armor was majestic and handsome, and coupled with Wood's own remarkable looks and temperament, even before the fight started, many of the academy students watching had already become his fans, cheering him on.

Yesterday I was deleted and blocked by the person I like the most. I was in a daze during the day and couldn't sleep at night. I have absolutely no energy to write, so I'm taking the day off. (~_~;)

Chapter 529 The Magician Who Fights the Demon King Hand-to-Hand!

Looking at the wildly popular Wood, Rudy, standing below, looked somewhat jealous and envious.

Wood could do what he's doing now with his magical knowledge, but he just can't seem to learn to be as pretentious as Wood.

Even though they are twins with the same face and build, and even their voices are exactly the same, he is always associated with lewdness and lust, while Wood is always regarded as a noble young master.

Moreover, it seems that he has never won in terms of popularity. It was understandable when he was in the Holy Kingdom of Milis, since it was his first time there and Wood was a hero there, so it was normal for him to be popular.

But this is Lanoa Magic Academy, where I've spent two whole years. It's my absolute home turf.

However, Wood has only been here for less than half a day, and he used two "King-level" spells to show off. Now his popularity is almost on par with "Silent Fizz".

"You intend to fight me like this, without using a wand or chanting magic? That's quite astonishing."

Moreover, you cast two King-level spells in a row without seeming to have consumed any energy, which shows how amazing your magical power is.

However, an ordinary human body, no matter how much it is enhanced by magic, cannot compare to that of a demon. You should unleash your true strength and fight me.

Compared to other students who only superficially saw the special effects on Wood's body, Budigandi, as a strong person and an expert in combat, obviously quickly saw the characteristics of Wood's two king-level spells.

Although Wood's ability to use a wand and cast spells without chanting surprised him quite a bit, he judged that the enhancement effects of these two King-level spells were not enough to allow Wood to engage in close combat with him.

Whether they can be compared or not, we'll only know after we fight. Sometimes, common sense is meant to be broken.

Before you met me, had you ever seen anyone who could use magic without a wand?

Seeing that Budigandi wanted to say something, Wood decided not to waste words with him. He took a step forward and punched the other man in the face.

No amount of words can be as convincing as actions. Since the other party doesn't believe that you are also skilled in martial arts, then let them experience it for themselves.

Wood, having shattered the ground with one foot, shot out at high speed, his fist even creating a sonic boom in the air.

Upon seeing Wood's speed and the punch that hurtled towards him with the force of breaking through the air, Badigandi instantly abandoned all his previous contempt and even reached out to block it with a hint of surprise on his face.

"boom------!"

With his arms crossed in front of him, Badigandi managed to block Wood's punch aimed straight at his face, but despite being nearly twice the size of Wood, he slid several meters across the ground.

His arms, crossed in front of his face, were now emitting large amounts of white smoke from his elbows, clearly caused by the speed and power of his punch.

After feeling the slight numbness in his arms, Budigandi lowered his hands again and looked at Wood with a look of astonishment.

"This is impossible! I have never heard of a human mage in the world whose physical abilities have reached this level!"

Even if you used two King-level spells to enhance yourself, how could a mage possibly deliver such a powerful punch without using battle aura?

Badigandi is a demon king who represents wisdom. He has a certain understanding of various magical knowledge, and he has not only heard of enhancement magic, but can even use it himself.

But he had never heard of a mage who used enhancement magic having a physical strength comparable to that of a demon warrior.

He had clearly felt the power of Wood's punch. Wood hadn't used any battle aura; he had only managed to knock him back with his own physical strength!

This is quite outrageous. Given the difference in their physiques, Wood, let alone a mage, even if he were a martial artist, should not be able to achieve this level of skill without using his battle aura.

"So I said before, although I am indeed able to use magic, and I am indeed a magician."

But as I've already said, I'm not just skilled in magic. Besides magic, I also know a little about swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat.

That's right, Wood is also quite skilled in hand-to-hand combat. After all, back in the pirate world, he initially pursued both martial arts and swordsmanship. It was only through imitating life in multiple worlds that his swordsmanship gradually surpassed his swordsmanship, eventually leading him far ahead.

However, while he may not be as skilled as in swordsmanship or magic in hand-to-hand combat, Wood, who has mastered the "Six Styles" and possesses "Haki," is actually quite formidable in combat.

Armament Haki Hardening! Iron Body - Diamond Smash!

Wood's originally fair-skinned arms were suddenly covered with a layer of black, metallic-like substance under the sunlight. After doing all this, Wood's body shot towards Badigandi once again.

"That punch before was just a reminder, letting you know that I have the ability to fight hand-to-hand, but from now on, I'm serious!"

Even if Wood hadn't said anything, Budigandi could clearly sense that Wood's aura had changed drastically compared to before as he watched Wood rushing towards him.

Because of that previous punch, Badigandi no longer dared to be careless in the face of Wood. He also gathered powerful magic in his hand, but instead of releasing it, he covered and wrapped it around his arm.

This is Badigandi's own unique enhancement magic... calling it magic isn't quite accurate, because what's wrapped around Badigandi's hands is pure magical energy, not a product of using magic.

After simple processing, the high-density and high-quality magic wrapped around Badigandi's six arms like boxing gloves.

The seemingly unstable magical entanglement, once it collides with its target, not only delivers tons of punches to the enemy, but also creates a magical explosion of astonishing power.

With its immense magical power and mass, the explosion generated by Badigundi's magic is comparable to "sacred" level magic.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only "Saint-level" magic. You need to understand that every punch is equivalent to "Saint-level" magic, and the magic power wrapped around the fist doesn't require any incantation time to be released.

In other words, as long as Badigandi's punching speed is fast enough, he can even briefly unleash multiple attacks with "saint-level" magic intensity!

Furthermore, this kind of magical attack can not only be performed continuously, but also has no cooldown time.

"Martial Skill: Comet Impact!"

A black fist covered in Armament Haki collided with two fists wrapped in purple magic in mid-air.

"boom------!"

Despite the vast difference in size between the fists, the collision in mid-air unleashed an incredibly powerful shockwave!
