Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

The students watching from the surrounding area felt a sudden, violent tremor in the ground, followed by large sections of ground collapsing and cracking, which rapidly spread outwards.

Although Lanoa Magic Academy is a top-tier magic academy on the continent, the students here are generally only capable of using "intermediate to advanced" level magic. They have never seen such an outrageous scene before, so at this moment, in addition to being shocked, they are even more panicked.

Fortunately, among the spectators, Rudy and the Dragon God Orsteed reacted quickly, creating walls and defensive barriers with earth magic, which finally neutralized the oncoming shockwave and the collapsing earth, preventing casualties.

When the students who had been knocked down by the shockwave recovered from their initial panic and looked around again, they were completely stunned by what they saw.

The place where Wood and Badigandi had just fought was located at the academy's main gate. As it was a top-tier magic academy on the continent, its main gate was naturally extremely spacious and imposing.

Therefore, the open space at the gate of Lanoa Magic Academy is at least several hundred square meters in size.

But now, the open space in front of them has become a ruin. Not only has the ground sunk several feet deeper than before, but even the gate of the Lanoa Magic Academy, which had been blessed with magic, collapsed under the shock wave!

"What level of battle is this?! These paving stones outside the gates of the Lanoa Magic Academy are made of special anti-magic stones."

Not only could it absorb magic, but it also possessed strong resistance to physical attacks, yet now it's all shattered into dust?

"It's not just shattered into pieces, didn't you see that the entire surface has collapsed a lot?"

"Without this barrier and Rudy's magic, we probably wouldn't have ended up like this..."

Even the anti-magic stones, which possess extremely strong resistance to impact, were reduced to dust by the impact of Wood and Budigandi. Not to mention these flesh-and-blood creatures.

The students of Lanoa Magic Academy never expected that they would be in danger just by watching the so-called Demon King, who had only come to join in the fun and see just how strong he really was!

"So, what was the result? After that kind of impact, the outcome should be decided by now, right? Who do you think won?"

"It should be Demon King Budigandi. Although Rudy's brother is also very strong, under such an impact, even if the two sides are evenly matched, the demon with the stronger physique should be able to withstand the damage better."

"If we follow common sense, then that's naturally the case. But do you think we can judge Rudy's brother by common sense?"

Have you ever seen a mage who can use their physical strength to send a demon king flying several meters away with a single punch?

Seeing that the surrounding area had become ruins, and the place where Wood and Badigandi had clashed was still covered by a thick sand curtain, the onlookers began to discuss among themselves.

The level of the battle before them was far beyond their comprehension. Although many people felt that Demon King Badigandi had a better chance of winning, others believed that Wood, such an outrageous mage, must have some hidden tricks up his sleeve.

"You're not Rudeus, are you? While it's true that you possess strong magic, I've never heard of Rudeus having such high levels of physical skill in addition to magic."

As the sandstorm gradually subsided, two figures, one tall and one short, slowly revealed themselves to the crowd as everyone eagerly awaited their arrival.

At that moment, Wood's fist landed solidly on the face of the Demon King Badigandi. The black fist, covered in Armament Haki, even caused some deformation to the opponent's face.

And Badigandi's last words were spoken with difficulty, even after his mouth had been punched and was crooked.

As for Wood, his condition wasn't much better than Badigandi's, as the opponent's fists landed directly on his abdomen and chest.

Although Wood used Armament Haki at the time, it was broken through by the opponent's burst of magic power. Although the power was weakened as a result, the indentation on Wood's chest and abdomen was extremely conspicuous.

"I don't think I've ever admitted to being called Rudius from the very beginning."

But you only wanted to fight Rudy because he survived the attack of the dragon god Orsteed, right?

If that's the case, then fighting me won't make much difference, since I'm also one of the survivors of that battle.

"And the one who truly harmed the Dragon God Orsteed was actually me."

Budigandi did not respond to Wood's words, and Wood also fell silent.

In that silence, after a few brief seconds, Wood and Buddy Gundy, as if they had planned it beforehand, moved at the same time and threw punches at each other with even more astonishing speed!

"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

"Big wood, big wood, big wood, big wood!"

The high-speed punches produced crisp sonic booms in the air, and each collision created a ring-shaped shockwave that swept outwards, making the already devastated ground even more ravaged!

At first, the speed at which Wood and Buddy Gundy threw punches was so fast that others around them could barely catch a glimpse of their afterimages.

But as their speed increased, Wood and Budigandi's arms became so thin that they were barely visible to the naked eye. The only things that indicated they were still exchanging blows were the continuous sonic booms and the aftershocks of the battle that kept impacting the Dragon God's Barrier.

The two engaged in a brutal, hand-to-hand combat, a style of fighting characterized by relentless offense and no defense, which thrilled the onlookers.

Chapter 530 The Mage Covered in Scars?

"Who do you think will win in the end? Will it be the Demon King Buddagandi, or Rudy's brother Wood Grellatt?"

Now that the battle has progressed this far, everyone around is even more eager to see the outcome. After all, both sides are strong enough to be recorded in the history of Lanoa Magic Academy.

Being able to witness this battle is an extremely fortunate thing for them.

"I think Wood is stronger in terms of strength, but if the fight continues at this pace, the Demon King Budigand will probably win."

Upon hearing what a senior student said, the surrounding students also cast puzzled glances at him.

Because what this senior said was really strange. He thought Wood was stronger, but then he said that the final winner would be the Demon King Badigandi.

"It's a very simple principle. Although as a mage, I don't know much about physical skills and melee combat."

But Wood only has two arms, yet in a fistfight, he was able to hold his own against the six-armed demon king Budigandi. Doesn't that mean that Wood is superior to Budigandi in both speed and strength?

"On the other hand, although they are currently evenly matched, their races have certain advantages and disadvantages."

If it were a contest of magical power, Wood might not necessarily lose, but in terms of physical strength and regenerative abilities, ordinary humans probably couldn't compare to demons, right?

It must be said that although this senior from Lanoa Magic Academy was not very strong, his analysis was quite insightful, and his views were recognized by most of the people present.

But that was just the perspective of a mortal like him. Compared to the other group of high-level combatants, Dragon God and Rudy could see that Badigandi was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.

Although on the surface the two sides seem evenly matched, in reality the situation is not so simple.

To fight Wood, the Demon King Budigandi has already used almost all of his power, but Wood is still far from reaching his limit.

Putting aside the life-threatening "Heart of God," Wood could also use the Teigu "Winter Knight." Even without a sword, fighting each other while wearing armor would yield a much stronger result than it does now.

In addition to his Imperial Arms, he also possesses powerful magical energy. Badigande can use magical energy to wrap around his arms to attack, and Wood can also use healing magic.

Aside from those two "King-level" spells he used to show off, Wood never used any other spells from the beginning.

In addition to these factors, those with stronger abilities should have also noticed that although both sides were constantly throwing punches and being hit, their auras were changing in completely different ways.

Badigandi's breathing was starting to become somewhat erratic, but Wood's breathing had been extremely steady from the very beginning, clearly indicating that he was still in a state of ease.

Seemingly realizing that if they continued fighting like this, he might be the one to lose next, Budigandi chose to dodge for the first time when Wood threw another punch, and distanced himself from Wood, voluntarily withdrawing from the previous primitive fighting mode.

"It's really surprising, are you even human?"

I can sense that you don't seem to have any fighting spirit. The two King-level spells from before had little effect on your physique.

So, you mean your physical abilities were all developed through training?

Badigandi had seen human martial artists before, but he had never even heard of anyone like Wood who had trained their body to such an absurd degree.

Putting aside their fighting spirit, in terms of physical strength, Budigandi even believes that Wood's physical abilities far surpass those of himself, the Demon King.

This is quite outrageous. If the other party were a race with long lifespans, it would be understandable. Such a powerful physique could be explained by long-term training.

From a biological point of view, Wood is clearly a human being!

As far as humans are concerned, Wood's appearance is no more than that of a teenager approaching adulthood. Yet, while he was studying magic and had reached that level of magical prowess, he had also trained his physique to such an extent.

"You might not believe it if I say this, but for some special reasons, Rudy and I, as twins, are unable to entangle ourselves in the so-called fighting spirit of this world."

So from childhood to adulthood, I've almost self-destructively trained my body, and as a result, I've mastered six martial arts techniques that surpass human limits, which I call the "Six Styles."

As Wood spoke, he casually tore off his shirt, which was now tattered from his earlier brawl with Badigandi.

The moment his shirt was completely torn open, everyone around him stared in disbelief at Wood's bare chest.

Because Wood's shirt was slightly loose before, the crowd hadn't noticed anything strange. But when Wood completely ripped off his shirt, they realized that he only looked a little thin. Now, his muscular abs and his still somewhat youthful face created a stark contrast!

Despite being a mage, Wood possesses a beautiful six-pack and muscular physique. Even more shockingly, Wood's body is covered with numerous scars, almost entirely covering his entire body!

Even the most renowned generals of some kingdoms, with a few old scars on their bodies, could be considered medals for their achievements.

But Wood is different. While others might have a few scars on their skin, he has almost no good skin on his entire upper body.

Even through these scars, it's easy to see that Wood had been hit in vital areas several times, even coming close to death. Especially the two scars near his abdomen and heart; even though the wounds have long since healed, just looking at the scars left behind, it's not hard to see just how dangerous Wood was when he was injured.

Most of the scars on Wood's body were actually left from when he was a child, when he went into the forest to fight monsters. At that time, his healing magic was still quite limited, which is why he was left with these old scars.

This also proves that Wood was not lying. In order to master the "Six Styles" as soon as possible in this world and make up for his inability to use "Battle Aura" in this world, he did indeed often go into the forest for grueling training.

As for the two scars on his chest and abdomen, they were indeed the two times he came closest to death... no, it should be said that the scar on his heart had already caused him to die once, but he was resurrected afterward.

That's right, the fatal scar on his heart was left two years ago when he fought the dragon god Orsteed in the jaw of the red dragon, and it was also the direct cause of Wood's death at that time.

As for the injury to his abdomen, it was left by another formidable enemy Wood encountered, the final boss of the "Unconquerable Underground Labyrinth," the Hydra.

"Your body is truly a magnificent collection of medals. If, as the saying goes, every scar on a soldier's body is a badge of honor, then you are undoubtedly the strongest soldier in the world."

Even so, I will not give up easily! The Dragon God who fought you before must have left proof of the battle on you.

"In that case, if I fail to leave even a trace on you, wouldn't the name of the Demon King be filled with sorrow?"

Seeing Wood's body covered in scars, even Budigandi could no longer say things like Wood was just a magician.

To put it bluntly, anyone who sees Wood's scars, even the most critical person, would have to admit that he is a truly admirable warrior.

Why do I say that? Top-tier experts can glean a lot even from scars.

Wood has countless scars of all sizes on his body, with hardly any intact skin left. However, he has only a few scars on his back, while most of the scars are on his front.

Why is that? This shows that when Wood faced an enemy, he rarely turned his back to them; every battle was a head-on confrontation!

It would be impossible to say that he had no scars on his back, because even if Wood never ran away from his enemies, he must have faced the predicament of being surrounded.
