There are many ogres here, some several meters tall, with immense strength and the ability to easily crush rocks, and others with the advantage of flight and claws that can easily tear flesh apart.

To put it bluntly, despite the seemingly impenetrable defenses of Tristine, if a few ogres were to advance, their terrifying power would easily shatter Tristine's outer defenses.

However, the key point is that none of these powerful monsters are currently able to appear in front of the Tristine formation.

As for the reason, it is because of that invincible figure in the field at this moment, which is almost imprinted in the hearts of Albion and the soldiers of Tristine!

The most respected person among magicians in this world is undoubtedly Brimir, the progenitor of magic.

However, for the Tristine soldiers present at this moment, Wood's existence had also risen to the same level as that of the progenitor Brimir.

The reason was simple: the figure before them was, in the eyes of the Tristine soldiers, simply too invincible.

They had never seen the progenitor Brimir, only heard of his legends, but they believed that the current Wood was no less capable than the so-called progenitor Brimir.

Unlike them who held their ground, Wood was truly fighting alone, and his target was the enemy's 40,000-strong army!

Those so-called ogres and gargoyles, despite possessing combat power comparable to "line-level" or even "triangle-level" mages, were as fragile as ordinary people in front of Wood's longsword!

More than half of the enemy soldiers lying on the ground today perished under Wood's blade!

Moreover, more than half of the enemy forces consisted mostly of troublesome monsters and noble mages like Albion.

What does this mean? It means that Wood killed more enemies by himself than a thousand of their elite Tristine warriors.

Not only were the enemies they killed stronger, but they could only passively defend themselves, while Wood was like a wolf among sheep, going in and out seven times!

"One-Sword Style: Kamaitachi!"

Some insightful nobles in Albion also realized that Wood was the backbone of the current Tristine.

If they don't take out Wood first, it will be difficult for them to break through Torristin's formation, and the morale of Albion's soldiers will also be affected.

The nobles no longer fought amongst themselves for credit, but instead instantly chose to use magic to focus their attacks on Wood.

Dozens of spells of different attributes formed beams of brilliant colors that fell from the sky and directly enveloped Wood.

At the same instant, the runes on Wood's chest belonging to the Heart of God, Reeves Rachel, also burst forth with brilliant light and unleashed a wind blade to meet the attack!

Chapter 121 The God of War of Tristain - Wood!

The wind slash flew off the blade and, under the power of the Heart of God, Reeves Lasher, expanded several times its original size in an instant.

The magic that was originally aimed at Wood was completely shattered by this wind blade strike.

Furthermore, after shattering all the magic, the slash still managed to clear a large area in front of it, and even killed two Albi nobles who were using water magic for defense!

Invincible! Apart from this word, no one present could find any other adjective to describe Wood in front of them.

Even Queen Tristine and Henrietta, who were under heavy protection, were astonished and their mouths were agape as they looked at Wood's invincible figure.

Every time they thought they had a certain understanding of Wood's strength, Wood would quickly surpass their expectations again.

There is no doubt that the legendary familiars are very strong, but even if Queen Tristine and the others are foolish, they know at this moment that even among the legendary familiars, Wood is definitely a rather special individual.

If the familiars and the Void are monsters like Wood in legends, then what kind of being is the progenitor Brimir? He could probably destroy the world with a mere gesture.

Albion had gathered an army of 40,000 men, but after a long period of fighting, more than 10,000 had been killed.

In other words, despite having 40,000 men fighting against 1,000, and being outnumbered by a factor of 40, they still lost nearly a third of their troops!

Of the more than 10,000 enemy soldiers who died in battle, about 10,000 were killed by Wood.

The legend of being able to defeat ten thousand men was something no one dared to write in any legend or biography before, but now a living legend is appearing right in front of them.

This isn't just Tristain's "Schwarrior," this is practically Tristain's God of War!

The overall combat strength of this world is not high. If Wood from the One Piece world were to descend here, let alone be able to defeat 10,000 men, it would not be impossible for him to even face Albion's 70,000-strong army.

Unfortunately, the Wood of today is not the Wood of the One Piece world. Don't be fooled by his current explosive power; it all comes at a price.

Wood's "Heart of God" Reeves Rachel's power is much stronger than the original version, which could only amplify the power of "nothingness," but the price paid remains unchanged.

There is no power that comes out of thin air; even if there were, it would certainly come at a price.

The price paid for the power of the "Heart of God" is life energy.

To put it more simply, Wood's current strength is entirely due to his relentless dedication!

The ability to amplify attacks exponentially is incredible, but the corresponding cost is naturally enormous.

Otherwise, even if the enemy force of more than 10,000 men stood still and let Wood cut them down, they would still need to expend a lot of energy.

Fortunately, everything Wood did was not meaningless, in his desperate battle using the "Heart of God".

Tristín's army, which originally numbered over a thousand soldiers, now has less than five hundred left, while Albion's side has suffered over ten thousand casualties.

Proportionally, half of the Tristine soldiers have died, and now they are all exhausted.

Albion had only lost a third of its troops, but the nobles who were the army commanders were not happy at all.

The massive casualties have turned what should have been a resounding victory into a crushing defeat.

Meanwhile, Wood, like a meat grinder on the battlefield, was still like a tireless machine, slaughtering his own people.

With his terrifying strength and seemingly inexhaustible stamina, Wood's image is now like a nightmare, deeply imprinted in the hearts of all Albion soldiers.

Having killed so many enemies, Wood inevitably developed a terrifying aura around himself. Even the Albion soldiers dared not attack him now, creating a vacuum around him.

Despite the vast disparity in troop strength, Wood truly managed to strike so hard that the enemy was terrified!

Some nobles in Albion's army even suggested a temporary retreat, allowing Queen Tristine and Henrietta to leave.

There was no way around it; Wood was like a tireless madman, and he specifically targeted the monsters and mages on the field.

Nine out of ten people who can use magic are nobles, and no one knows whether they will become the victim of the other's blade in the next second.

Moreover, since Queen Tristine and her entourage were merely bait, and only accompanied by nearly a thousand soldiers, it meant that Tristine's army was currently engaged in a bloody battle with Albion.

Only 30,000 soldiers remained on the main battlefield, roughly the same number as those on the Tristín side. Although Albion still had its formidable air force, whether it could win was truly uncertain.

Therefore, all the noble Albi members present believed that the outcome of the main battlefield was of greater importance.

Even if the Tristenes win, and they kill Queen Tristene and Henrietta, they can still elect a new royal family.

If the fighting continues, they should have no problem annihilating Queen Tristine and Henrietta, but they'll probably lose another ten thousand or so.

If another 10,000 of the remaining 20,000-plus people die, then even if they return to reinforce the main battlefield, they will not be able to change the overall situation.

The nobles of Albion wanted to withdraw because they believed the cost of insisting on killing Queen Tristine and Henrietta was too high.

Unfortunately, the highest commander of this force was not them, but Sheffield, the genius with a divine mind.

Would Sheffield choose to retreat for the sake of the bigger picture? Of course not!

Rather, it's more accurate to say that after witnessing Wood's astonishing combat prowess, his desire to kill Wood has become even stronger!

Using the power of the "mind of God," Sheffield can also summon more than ten thousand magical creatures, but these monsters are magical artifacts accumulated by the entire Albion and Goliath over hundreds of years.

But Wood was different; he accomplished this all by himself!

With the Heart of God being so powerful, Sheffield naturally wanted to kill Wood here to prevent him from interfering with his master Joseph's plans later.

Even if it means losing all 40,000 Albion troops we brought, we would not hesitate!

Sheffield had already noticed that although Wood's fighting power was incredibly strong and he seemed to be at his limit, his once jet-black hair was turning white at a visible rate, and his vitality was gradually weakening.

Sheffield, a fellow legendary familiar, was well aware that the power of the Heart of God was rapidly burning through his life force.

Chapter 122 You are not worthy to be his master at all!

To be honest, Sheffield has a lot of admiration for Wood now, and she understands why he would do what he did.

Just as she would do anything for her beloved master Joseph, Sheffield clearly believed that everything Wood did was for Henrietta.

Wood's once full head of black hair had now turned completely white from root to tip.

However, although his life was gradually slipping away, he became more and more courageous in battle, and wherever his sharp eyes fell, all the enemy troops chose to retreat.

The runes on his chest bearing the name "Revis Lasher" burst forth with dazzling light, and a violent slash erupted from the two longswords in his hands.

Wherever Wood's slash passed, almost nothing could stop it—neither magic, enemies, nor the surrounding trees and rocks.

The battle continued, and the thick stench of blood permeated almost the entire forest. Tristine's remaining five hundred soldiers were also dying one after another due to exhaustion.

Five hundred, four hundred... one hundred, and finally, only a few dozen people remained, and they couldn't even maintain a basic defensive formation.

As for Albion, under Sheffield's forced orders, they continued their attack, but by the end, their numbers were reduced to less than ten thousand!

Wood gripped his knife with both hands, leaning against a large tree. Albion slowly surrounded him, but none dared to get too close.

Wood is now covered in wounds, large and small, as if he had just been pulled from a pool of blood. The twin swords forged by the master craftsman Tristine are also showing signs of wear due to overuse.

Seeing the Albion soldiers surrounding him, Wood wanted to continue swinging his sword, but his arms felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Feeling his life rapidly slipping away, as if he were about to reach his end, Wood couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

They were ultimately too overconfident. They thought they could at least take each other down with them, but the final result was unexpected.

Looking towards where Henrietta and the others were from afar, Wood suddenly felt a little sorry for the mother and daughter.

They chose to accept the suggestion and act as bait because they trusted themselves.

But in the end, he failed to keep his promise and protect their lives.
