As soon as she finished speaking, Lieda launched the first attack, because she also felt that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for her.
She had fought the Demon Wolf King for a long time, and although she won the battle, she had also exhausted some of her strength.
Although Leda Lya is very strong and has enough talent, the limits of the human race are still there, and her limited lifespan has already caused her body to begin to decline.
For a mage, age doesn't necessarily affect their strength too much, but it's different for a martial artist, who relies on physical strength and stamina to fight.
After defeating a powerful wolf-like monster, an even more troublesome boy appeared. Even if he defeated the boy in front of him, Alice, who had been lured away by them earlier, would probably be back soon.
Under such a relentless barrage of attacks, let alone her current advanced age, even in her prime, she would be completely unable to withstand it.
Therefore, in order to defeat Wood as soon as possible, Lieda Leah held nothing back and unleashed her strongest power right from the start.
Lieda Lydia did not deliberately approach Wood, because his ability to approach her silently had made her quite wary.
Even while maintaining a certain distance, as long as she is within her own "Sword Realm of Deprivation," Lieda Lydia can still launch an attack on Wood from any position.
With her golden longsword dancing wildly, even though Leta Lydia was extremely far away from Wood, her slashes couldn't touch him at all. In fact, Leta Lydia's current behavior was as comical as a sword dance performance.
But none of the people in the Sword Realm could laugh at this moment, because they had just witnessed the horror of Leda Lia's "Sword Realm Deprivation".
The Demon Wolf King, who had previously been able to fight Leda Lia to a standstill, was instantly suppressed after she used this ultimate technique, and even had one of his legs severed without any chance to retaliate.
"Under such immense pressure, and with the ability to dodge sword strikes that can appear at any angle and direction at any time, which are completely unpredictable, it is simply too difficult!"
Leda Lia's "Sword Realm Deprivation" ability is practically cheating; whether you're a mage or a swordsman, the chances of defeating her within her sword realm are extremely slim.
Luke was also a martial artist, so he understood even more how outrageous Lida Leah's "Sword Realm Deprivation" was.
The immense pressure within the Sword Realm has completely overwhelmed mages with insufficient physical abilities. Mages who haven't entered the Sword Realm might still have a fighting chance by using ranged attack magic.
Once inside Leda Lia's sword realm, under its immense pressure, they are like lambs to the slaughter, just like Sylphie and Ariel are now.
So-called superior mages and saint-level mages are no different from ordinary people in the face of the opponent's overwhelming sword realm pressure.
Even if a martial artist can withstand the immense pressure within the Sword Realm, their movements will be somewhat restricted, and their combat power will be greatly reduced as a result.
The restricted warriors also had to contend with Leda Lia's omnipresent blade attacks. Furthermore, being within the Sword Realm, Leda Lia could clearly sense the presence of others within it, making even a sneak attack difficult.
To put it simply, in Luke's view, Leda Lia's ultimate technique, "Sword Deprivation," is an almost shameless ability with no weaknesses.
"Then what should we do? With Mr. Wood's strength, is there any way to break through Leda Lydia's 'Sword Realm of Deprivation'?"
Hearing Luke's explanation, Ariel, who was also being pressed to the ground, couldn't help but ask nervously.
Wood is their strongest fighter. If even Wood can't defeat Leda Lydia, then they're practically doomed.
“There is still a chance to win. No matter how strong or invincible ‘Sword Deprivation’ is, Lieda herself has a flaw.”
As an ordinary human, she was already quite old. First of all, she had fought fiercely with the Demon Wolf King for a long time, which had exhausted a lot of her strength.
Wood is young and full of vigor, and his magical power and physical strength are comparable to those of a demon king. So as long as enough time is spent, Leta Lia will be unable to continue fighting due to exhaustion.
Of course, there's a prerequisite for wearing down Leda Lydia's stamina: Wood must be able to withstand the almost unpredictable attacks she's faced before.
Hearing Luke's analysis, Ariel and Sylphie looked at Wood in the arena with tense expressions. They knew very well that Wood was very strong, but Leta Lia was not weak either. The powerful Demon Wolf King had been easily crippled by Leta Lia.
The Demon Wolf King was merely Wood's magical beast pet, and its strength was certainly inferior to Wood's. However, Ariel and the others thought that the difference shouldn't be that great... after all, the Demon Wolf King was already a King-level magical beast.
“Human brat, your analysis may be spot on, but the method you mentioned only applies to guys who are on par with that old woman in strength.”
As for my master, Wood... you should all open your eyes and watch closely. Lord Wood is a complete monster. The so-called "Sword Realm of Deprivation" is no different from a plaything in front of him.
You think you can win by wearing down that old woman? You underestimate Lord Wood! When he gets serious, someone like that old woman wouldn't last five rounds... no, not even three!
Upon hearing the Wolf King's words, Ariel and the others fell silent. They believed that Wood was strong, but they absolutely did not believe that Wood's strength was as incredible as the Wolf King claimed.
Lieda is also a 'Sword Emperor' level powerhouse, and she is no less powerful than the previous Demon King Badigandi.
The previous fight between Wood and Badigandi lasted hundreds of rounds. Now, the fact that Rita Lia, whose strength is no less than Badigandi's, can only last three rounds against Rita Lia is unbelievable.
Ariel and the others felt that the Wolf King was being praised so much simply because Wood was its master, and that there was no standard for reference whatsoever.
Seeing the ambiguous expressions on Ariel's and the others' faces, the Demon Wolf King was too lazy to waste any more words on these small fry.
As Wood's contracted magical beast, how could it not know how strong Wood is?
Two years ago, it was just a "Saint-level" magical beast, but two years later, when Wood returned to this world, the Demon Wolf King instantly transformed, leaping directly from the original "Saint-level" level to a King-level magical beast comparable to "Emperor-level".
Why is that? Because it is Wood's contracted magical beast. To some extent, Wood's immense magical power can be fed back to it through the contract.
Although the amount of magical power that flowed back to the Demon Wolf King was not much, even so, the magical power that Wood sent to the Demon Wolf King still caused it to directly transform from a Saint-level magical beast to a peak King-level magical beast comparable to an Emperor-level beast.
That is why no one knows Wood's true strength better than the Wolf King.
A water god and a demon king comparable to the "Seven Great Powers"? The Demon Wolf King can only say that it can barely defeat such a character, but against its master Wood, it is not even a toy.
As if to verify the Wolf King's words, Lieda used the sword realm to unleash countless slashes, enveloping Wood from all directions at incredible angles.
Just when Lieda Leah thought that no matter how strong Wood was, he should be injured by such an almost unpredictable and invisible attack, Wood, who was as relaxed as if he were walking in a garden, dodged all of Lieda Leah's attacks in just a few moments!
Unable to believe what she was seeing, Lieda quickly gripped her golden longsword again and unleashed a series of slashes at Wood.
However, unsurprisingly, Wood dodged all of her attacks this time without missing a single one!
"This is impossible! My 'Sword Realm Stripping' should be impossible to see through, and no one has ever been able to defeat me in the Sword Realm!"
His self-created ultimate technique was now completely ineffective against the enemy, which was an immense blow to someone who had dedicated his life to the study of swordsmanship.
Even when faced with the Demon Wolf King's mockery, Lieda only experienced emotional fluctuations before, but this time, even her originally firm mindset wavered.
"An invisible slash? No, it must be that the distance of the slash is ignored through some kind of spatial shortening technique."
While it is indeed a very strong ability, it is not particularly rare. I have seen people with similar abilities before, but they are even stronger.
Moreover, such an ability isn't very useful to me, since swordsmen often rely on more than just their eyesight.
Chapter 542 Wood: Want to take a gamble?
Wood wasn't exaggerating; while Leda Lya's "Sword Realm of Deprivation" seemed incredibly powerful in this world, it wasn't particularly outstanding compared to other worlds Wood had visited before.
Wood has already witnessed both the "invisible attack" and the "distance reduction" ability in the "Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-".
As Wood said, setting aside the "powers" of the Archbishops of Sin, the abilities of the Witches of Sin were even more outrageous than the last.
First there's the Witch of Envy, Satella, who can devour the world and possesses immortality; then there's the Witch of Disguise, Pandora, who can easily distort reality and falsehood; and finally, there's the almost invincible, overpowered swordsman, Reinhard.
The "Sword Realm Deprivation" by Leda Lya was truly astonishing to Wood.
As for how Wood managed to dodge Leda Lia's unpredictable and unseen attacks, it was because he possessed very strong "Observation Haki".
Wood doesn't have the same "foresight" as Wood, but as one of the big shots in the New World, Wood has long since honed his Observation Haki to the point where he can briefly predict the future.
Even though he couldn't see with his eyes, his Observation Haki allowed him to anticipate and sense danger in advance, so dodging Leda Ria's attacks wasn't a difficult task for Wood.
"It's not a coincidence, you actually managed to dodge my attack..."
Even so, the outcome is still uncertain. In this "Sword Realm Stripping," you will also have to bear the immense pressure of the Sword Realm. Even if you can dodge my attacks, but…”
Lieda Lya originally intended to say that even if Wood could predict and dodge her attacks, within her "Sword Realm of Deprivation," due to the immense pressure of the Sword Realm, Wood's physical abilities would be inferior to hers, and the consumption of energy in the battle would certainly be greater than hers.
But she stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence; the words that had been on her lips were now stuck in her throat, unable to continue.
The reason is quite simple: at this moment, Wood was actually leaping lightly within her "Sword Realm of Deprivation".
Upon witnessing this scene, not only Lieda herself, but also Ariel and the others lying on the ground like salted fish, were completely speechless.
Faced with the pressure of Leda Lia's ultimate technique, "Stripping the Sword Realm," they were all in a predicament where they were prostrate on the ground, unable to move.
Even a powerful king-level magical beast like the Demon Wolf King, with its strong physique, could only barely move within Lieda Lia's Sword Realm. But Wood, at this moment, seemed completely unaffected, lightly leaping around within the 'Sword Realm of Deprivation'!
"This is what they call the pressure of the sword realm? It doesn't seem like anything special."
Well, there might be some pressure, but it's not a heavy burden. If it's just this level, it won't restrict my actions, and it won't drain me either.
Even fighting in this environment, I conservatively estimate I could fight for more than three days without breaking a sweat.
Hearing what Wood said, Leda Lydia fell silent. She wanted to mock Wood for bragging, but the ease on his face and his light movements were undeniable.
At the same time, Lieda Lydia was also quite puzzled. No matter how you looked at it, Wood should be human, so how could he possess such outrageous combat power at such a young age?
Moreover, why had Leda Lydia never heard of such an outrageously powerful figure as Wood appearing on the continent?
"Who exactly are you? Even the seven strongest powers on the continent shouldn't be able to do what you're doing."
A powerhouse like you shouldn't even look down on a kingdom like the Kingdom of Asura. If Ariel Anemoi Asura knew someone as strong as you, she wouldn't have had to flee to Lanoa Magic University like a defeated dog.
Lieda Lydia was puzzled as to how Ariel had managed to seduce Wood, Rudy, and powerful figures like Alice.
The Central Continent is neither too large nor too small. Countless kingdoms stand on this continent. Although the Kingdom of Asura is among the top, it should not be able to attract the covetousness of so many powerful figures like Wood.
Lieda Lya herself was a powerful individual with considerable strength, so she understood that beings at their level no longer had much desire for power and wealth.
Because whether it's power or status, as long as they care, these things are easily attainable.
She, Lydia, was saved by Darius when she was a girl, and she took a position in the palace to repay his kindness.
It wasn't just Leda Lia; it was also like the previous "Grim Reaper" Randolph. If he wanted to take over the Dragon Kingdom, it would be a very simple matter for him, given his strength, but he had absolutely no interest in any of it.
This is why Lieda was surprised that powerful figures like Wood and Rudy would choose to help Ariel, and what price they had paid to get people of that level to help her.
The entire Kingdom of Asura? As mentioned before, if they really wanted to steal this kingdom, Wood and Rudy's own strength would suffice; there was no need for anything else.
Did Princess Ariel offer her body as payment? Hmm... that's not entirely out of the question, after all, the second princess is quite stunning in terms of looks.
Moreover, both Wood and Rudy are in the innocent and naive age of youth, so it's not impossible for them to be head over heels in love.
