Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Even the strongest mage is still a mage. Even if Rudy has mastered the technique of casting spells without chanting, Leta Lia is confident that she can kill him with a single blow before he can use any magic.

The appearance of the Wolf King was somewhat unexpected for Lieda, but considering that Alice was expected to return soon, Lieda did not intend to waste any more time.

It would be better for Hilfi and Luke to attack together, so that she could use her ultimate move to take them all down at once, as it would be too time-consuming to deal with the others one by one.

"You old hag, your tone is louder than my athlete's foot. With the strength you just showed, we're only about 30/70... 40/60 at most."

Now I have a few more helpers on my side. Even if they're not that great, together they should be enough to give you a run for your money. Can your frail body withstand all that boasting?

Upon hearing the Wolf King say that their strength wasn't that great, Luke and Ariel, who had come to help, also showed embarrassed expressions.

While they might seem to be the weakest in terms of combat strength, there's no need to be so dismissive. After all, they are the top swordsmen and student council presidents of Lanoa Magic Academy...

"Do you think you had a 40/60 chance of winning against me just now?"

When did I ever say that I had just used all my strength?

Looking at the three people and one beast in front of her, Lieda slowly sheathed her golden longsword and then plunged it, scabbard and all, into the ground in front of her.

The emotions that had been affected by the Demon Wolf King had returned to calm, and his expressionless face and sharp eyes had returned as well. The aura and imposing presence of the "Water God" emanated from him.

"Water God Style's Original Secret Technique: Stripping Away the Sword Realm!"

There are five secret techniques of the Water God Style. Lieda has only mastered three of them, but two of them are the most difficult.

What's even more terrifying is that Leda Lia has recombined these two secret techniques to create the sixth and strongest secret technique of the Water God Style—Deprive the Sword Realm!

The instant Lydia plunged the golden blade into the ground, an invisible aura emanated from her and spread outwards.

The exact size of the aura is unknown, but there is no doubt that the Demon Wolf King and Hilfi and the others were now enveloped in the range of Lieda Lia's 'Sword Realm of Deprivation'.

"Something's wrong! This is very bad. Immediately leave where you are standing and keep your distance from that old woman!"

The moment Leda Lia's ultimate technique, "Sword Realm Deprivation," was formed, the Demon Wolf King sensed something was wrong. He immediately retreated while reminding Sylphie and the others beside him to leave the area.

The ability to quickly sense when something is wrong and anticipate danger stems not only from the fact that the Demon Wolf King is the strongest among them, but also from the fact that, as a wild beast, its instinct for perceiving danger is often stronger than that of humans.

Although the Demon Wolf King couldn't pinpoint the source of the danger, it could sense that the atmosphere around them changed the moment Leda Lia planted her longsword into the ground.

This feeling of unease made the Demon Wolf King extremely uneasy. Every pore on its body was warning it to leave this dangerous area as soon as possible.

Seeing the wolf king suddenly looking flustered, Ariel and the other two were somewhat confused by its warning, but trusting in its strength, they didn't believe it would suddenly speak without reason, so they quickly retreated.

"Oh, so I've already sensed the existence of the Sword Realm before I've even made a move?"

It seems that although you are just a beast, your intuition is surprisingly sharp.

But do you think that in my domain, I can still leave as I please as before?

As Leda Lydia finished speaking, Ariel and the others suddenly felt an invisible pressure on their bodies, making it impossible for them to breathe.

As a high-level swordsman with certain physical abilities, Luke was alright, but Ariel and Sylphie, as mages, were almost instantly pinned to the ground, completely unable to move.

As a magical beast and the strongest in terms of physical strength present, the Demon Wolf King's current situation is not as dire as Ariel's and the others', but its trembling limbs clearly show that it is under considerable pressure.

"This is the Water God Style's secret technique, 'Stripping the Sword Realm,' which I created myself. As long as you are in my sword realm, you will have to bear the heavy pressure from the sword realm."

Leaving aside martial artists, mages in my sword realm, with their physical abilities, can hardly even stand up, let alone fight.

Do you still think you can achieve a 40/60 split with me?

Since creating this secret technique called "Sword Realm Deprivation," Lieda has rarely used it against enemies.

The reason is simple: as the "Water Goddess," she is already invincible in the entire Asura Kingdom with her Water God Style swordsmanship.

There are quite a few opponents in the world who could make her use "Sword Realm Deprivation," but Leda Lia simply cannot clash with those beings, let alone fight them.

"You think you can take us down just because you're from the Sword World? Don't underestimate us! This little bit of pressure is nothing; I can still bite your neck off right now!"

Despite the immense pressure from the Sword Realm, the Demon Wolf King trembled as he propped himself up on his limbs and slowly began to run, charging directly towards Lieda Lia in front of him.

Running away was out of the question. Not to mention that Wood had instructed it to protect Ariel and the others as much as possible, Ariel and the others were now like salted fish, lying in someone else's sword realm, at the mercy of others.

Even if the Demon Wolf King wanted to run away, and it could barely move within Lieda Lia's Sword Deprivation Realm, it didn't believe that Lieda Lia would just watch it leave.

"As a dog, your loyalty is indeed admirable, but that's where it ends."

Previously, the Wolf King could only maintain a 30/70 split in his fight against Leda Lia when she wasn't fully serious. Now that the Wolf King is in the 'Sword Realm of Deprivation,' he is even less likely to be a match for Leda Lia.

Lieda Lia's "Sword Realm Deprivation" is not just about the pressure of the sword realm; it is a new technique born from the recombination of two Water God Style techniques, so theoretically it should have two abilities.

When she saw the Demon Wolf King slowly running towards her, Lieda Lia showed a slight disdain on her face, and then slowly drew the golden longsword in front of her.

"Within my 'Sword Realm of Stripping,' everything will be under my control. Not only will the Sword Realm exert its immense pressure, but even a casual swing of the sword like this can unleash my strikes in any corner of the Sword Realm!"

As Lieda spoke, she swung her longsword down in front of her, but surprisingly, there was nothing in front of her, and her sword should have missed its mark.

But as the Demon Wolf King charged toward Leda Lia under the pressure of the Sword Realm, a sword light suddenly appeared on its forelimb, and a spurt of blood flew up the next second. One of the Demon Wolf King's forelimbs was completely severed!

The sudden loss of its foreleg caused the Demon Wolf King to let out a mournful howl that echoed throughout the entire forest. Its body, already bearing the heavy pressure of the Sword Realm, lost its balance due to the pain of losing a leg and collapsed to the ground.

Originally, thanks to the powerful physique of the magical beast, the Demon Wolf King could barely move around in Leda Lia's Sword Realm of Deprivation, but now, with only three legs left, it can't even stand up, let alone move.

The one who severely injured the Demon Wolf King, Lieda, only used one sword strike, which demonstrated the power of her self-created ultimate technique, "Stripping the Sword Realm"!

"Now you understand why I said before that even if you all attacked together, it would be meaningless."

"Because I, an old woman residing in the realm of swords, would not need to draw my sword to kill you. If the slash I just unleashed had been aimed at your throat instead of your claws..."

"Forget it, there's no point in saying more. Perhaps it's because I haven't encountered an opponent who can ignite my fighting spirit in a long time that I've talked a bit too much."

Let's end this battle here. It's rare to see a magical beast grow to this level, even possessing such advanced intelligence. It's truly a pity.

Seeing the wolf king, who, despite having stumbled, still didn't beg for mercy and even glared at her fiercely, Lieda couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

Whether human or beast, few can maintain their fighting spirit even at the moment of death. Therefore, even as an enemy, Lieda was prepared to give the Demon Wolf King a dignified death.

However, just as Lieda raised her golden longsword and prepared to strike the wolf king's neck, a slightly immature yet unusually steady male voice suddenly appeared behind her.

"Since you feel it's a pity to kill it, how about you spare its life for my sake?"

As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner. By treating my loyal dog like this, are you not taking me seriously at all?

The sudden voice from behind caused Leda Lydia's usually calm face to show an expression of extreme surprise.

And after a very brief moment of shock, it quickly abandoned its original plan to attack the Demon Wolf King, and with a few back kicks, instantly created enough distance from the source of the sound.

It was impossible for Lieda not to be surprised. As a first-rate swordsman, even though she was old now, her five senses were still quite sharp, especially since she was currently in her own 'Sword Realm of Deprivation'.

Chapter 541 Demon Wolf King: You know nothing of your master's power

!

As a top-tier swordswoman, Lieda's five senses were already stronger than ordinary people, and now she was in the midst of her own ultimate technique, "Sword Realm Deprivation".

Theoretically speaking, even an assassin with superb skills in concealing their presence, or a mage using special magic, should not be able to evade her senses.

However, the blond boy who gradually appeared in Lieda's life had just entered her "Sword Realm of Deprivation" without her knowledge, and even came to be so close to her.

Although her attention was mostly focused on the Wolf King, if the boy in front of her hadn't spoken up, Lieda Lydia wouldn't have even noticed his presence!

"The strongest swordsman known as the 'Water God,' what do you think would have happened if I hadn't spoken to you first, but instead had chosen to ambush you from behind?"

Hearing Wood's smiling words, Lydia's face turned ugly.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Lydia could tell that the boy was mocking her.

Because she had recently told the Demon Wolf King that she was the master in her "Sword Realm of Deprivation," if that sword strike had been aimed at the Demon Wolf King's neck instead of its forelimbs, it would have been dead long ago.

Now Wood is telling Lieda in the same way that if he hadn't spoken and had instead chosen to launch a sneak attack, Lieda, who claims to be the "ruler" of the sword world, would also be dead!

"If that's the case, then why didn't you launch a sneak attack just now?"

Could it be that your ability to conceal your presence only applies when you haven't attacked, and that your presence is revealed once you launch an attack?

Looking at Wood in front of her, although Wood and Rudy had the exact same face, Leta Lydia clearly did not recognize the two as the same person.

Simply put, in Lieda Lydia's eyes, Wood and Rudy were vastly different in both aura and temperament.

The blond boy in front of her exuded confidence and composure, and the aura he emanated made Leda Lia feel a sense of danger that made her skin tremble!

To be honest, ever since Lieda created her secret technique "Sword Realm Deprivation" and became known as the "Water Goddess," she has never met anyone who could give her this feeling.

Even the "Sword God" and "Northern God," who are among the seven great powers, are no exception.

The boy in front of her now looked quite young, but the sharpness emanating from him far surpassed that of the little girl they had lured away before!

"Your Excellency is overthinking it. I did not launch a sneak attack, not because I lacked the ability, but because there was no need for it."

Also, I don't like owing favors to people, especially enemies. Since you just went easy on my dog, then you should repay the favor this time.

Furthermore, there is one more thing I need to correct: when I entered what you call the Sword Realm and came to your side, I did not use any ability or item to conceal my presence.

The reason you cannot detect my presence is simply because your own level is too low; there is no other reason.

Upon hearing Wood's words, Leda Lydia's previously calm expression turned ugly once again.

She was the strongest swordswoman in the kingdom of Asura, a powerful figure known as the "Water Goddess," a supreme expert who could hold a place even among the "Seven Great Powers." Now, she was being told that her strength was too weak, and that she was not even in the same league as the other party. How could she tolerate this?

Lieda Leah acknowledged that Wood was very strong, which could be judged simply from the aura emanating from him.

Even so, Lieda Lydia did not believe that the other party had the right to be so arrogant in front of her. She believed that there might be a gap between them, but that gap was not insurmountable.

"It seems that like master, like beast. Your dog has a big mouth, and I didn't expect that the person who raises it is just as arrogant."

"The beasts you kept before seemed to have said the same things to me, but their fate is clear. I wonder if your strength matches your arrogant tone."
