I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

His crimson eyes flickered. "Hmm... Hmph, let's forget about that."

Jill stood up.

Being interested is one thing, but whether or not to go is another.

A crimson flame slowly ignited in Jill's hand, instantly burning the pure white letter to ashes that fell to the ground.

"Let's skip this boring thing. But, how about we ask Nagatsuki about this Dimitrio Vatora?"

Jill took the chocolate out of her pocket and took a bite.

"I just hope it's not some troublesome guy." Jill sipped the yogurt she hadn't finished, and after she finished it, flames erupted from her hand again, burning the yogurt carton.

……

"Oh dear, it seems you're not willing to come... Well then, I'll go and invite you myself." The figure stood up excitedly as he watched Jill's actions.

……

In the afternoon, Jill finished her last class and decided to go home.

Walking down the street, Jill appeared to be casually looking at her phone.

Behind him, a young man in a white suit followed at a leisurely pace, keeping a safe distance.

The two people walked in perfect unison, and even after several minutes, the distance between them remained unchanged.

That's surprising enough.

Because no matter what, if one person tries to deliberately cooperate with another, it is easy to make mistakes unless they are fully focused.

After all, a person's habits are deeply ingrained, and habits are a terrible thing...

However, the young man didn't seem to be paying much attention; he strolled along casually, following Jill without any apparent effort...

At that moment, Gildon stopped in his tracks.

Jill turned her head slightly to look at the young man in the white suit.

The young man simply smiled and waved to Jill as a greeting.

“…Hey, I’m telling you.” Jill glanced at her phone, turned around, and said, “You’ve been following me for five minutes.”

"Really?" The young man's face showed a smile that could be described as innocent and naive.

However, Jill's face darkened.

Magic is rising within the other person.

At that moment, a piercing alarm sounded.

"Oh dear... I'm too excited, but it's good this way." The young man ignored the screaming and fleeing civilians around him and just laughed.

"Play with me, King of Heroes!"

After the young man said those words, Gil's magic began to surge forth.

"...It seems that it was probably some white-haired guy who told you...Well, there's no other way. We'll deal with this problem of yours first, and then get the information out of that bastard."

"Cold-blooded Steel Queen, Holy Sword that slays demons and monsters—transform into a steel sword here, grant me divine power!" Gil spoke in an elven language that Vatora could not understand, and then, the silver holy sword appeared in Gil's hand.

"What is that?" the young man asked.

“Hmph, this is my sword, and your taste is truly appalling—so, state your name, vampire.” Jill pointed the blade of the Demon Slayer at the youth.

“Hi, well... I am Duke Ardialu, Demitoriye Vatora.”

The young man, Dimitriye Vatora, smiled. "Then, let's have a match."

“It’s not impossible. After all, I haven’t had a proper fight since I got here, and now my hands are itching.” Jill didn’t object to the other party’s suggestion. “However—I need you to tell me who told you I was here.”

“Well—come play with me—if you win, I’ll tell you.” Vatola grinned excitedly.

"Well... then I grant your permission." Magic power began to surge from Gil's body.

At the same time, the divine power that had been cultivated for a period of time was also infused into the Demon Slayer, and the silver-white holy sword emitted a dazzling silver light.

Vatora also emitted a red, flame-like light.

Just as the two were about to make their move.

"Stop it!"

An angry female voice stopped the two from acting.

P.S.: I fell asleep while writing for the third time... Looks like there's a reason I've been feeling unwell lately...

Chapter 285 However, I have no interest in you

The one who interrupted the two's fight was a petite, doll-like girl.

Nangong Nayue—

When Jill saw her, she clicked her tongue and scoffed, "Tch..."

The blade slowly slashed downwards, but Gil didn't sheathe the Silver Holy Sword. Instead, he stared at Vatora.

He has a good eye for people; this guy, once he gets into a fight, is the kind of person who will never give up easily.

Therefore, the Demon Slayer cannot be retrieved for the time being.

Even if the Gate of Babylon is activated quickly, it will still take about half a second. Who knows if these familiars have strange abilities? So we have to be careful.

Jill could also sense a faint threat emanating from Vatora, but she didn't know if this power was threatening enough.

If you go all out and fight desperately, your opponent might be able to hurt you.

It might even come at a price.

That's why Jill didn't put away the Demon Slayer.

"Snake charmer, and you too, don't start a fight here."

Nangong Nayue showed obvious displeasure, "If you want to fight, go back to your territory and fight there."

"That month, do you know this guy who looks like a masochist and gay?" Jill asked.

Nayue glanced at Vatora, whose face had stiffened, and chuckled inwardly, but remained outwardly calm. "Quickly put away the sword in your hand."

"..." Jill glanced at Vatora, whose expression quickly returned to normal, and mentally labeled Vatora as "a bit troublesome." Then, the Demon Slayer in his hand turned into particles of light and disappeared from Jill's hand.

“Sorry, let’s have another match next time if we have the chance.” Vatora didn’t hide the fighting spirit in his eyes as he looked at Gil.

“…Next time, not on Itogami Island.” Gilles stared at him for a moment, then said.

“Of course…” Vattora bowed to Gil, then asked, “Would you like to join my banquet?”

Nangong Nayue frowned and looked at Jill. Jill naturally noticed Nangong Nayue's gaze, but he didn't care and just told the truth, "I have already burned that invitation."

"Is that so...that's such a shame." Vatora looked regretful, but the reason for her regret was unclear.

“Well then, see you next time.” Jill turned around and tilted her head slightly. “Remember, I’ve always hated underhanded tactics, so you’d better not do anything rash—otherwise, I can’t guarantee I won’t go crazy.”

What would Jill look like if she went mad?

Well... no one can guarantee anything. Maybe Enki will just pull out his ultimate sword and fire.

Then civilization was destroyed, and the world was destroyed too.

Of course, the End Sword Enki that Jill used before was an incomplete End Sword Enki, since that End Sword Enki had not been charged up and had not reached its maximum power.

"What a pity... I'm still somewhat interested in you." Vatora gave a polite smile.

“I’m also sorry, since I have absolutely no interest in you.” After saying that, Jill withdrew her gaze and then took a step away.

……

After half an hour.

After watching Vatora and Gil leave, Nangong Nayue, exhausted, cleaned up the mess and prepared to leave as well.

"Natsuki, please wait a moment." A voice rang out.

Jill, who should have already left, was standing there.

"Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"I have a few questions for you," Jill said.

"About Vatora, right?" Nangong Nayue nodded and asked.

"Correct."

Jill nodded and said.

"Do you know the Principality of Aldiaru? It's one of the autonomous territories that formed the War King's domain."

"Hmm... War King's Domain, you mean the guy behind Vatora, right?" Gil pondered for a moment.

"Yes, that's the Night Empire located in Eastern Europe, the territory ruled by the First Progenitor. Do you know the First Progenitor, 'The Forgotten War King'?"

"I've heard the name before. He's the legendary vampire progenitor who could control seventy-two familiars." Jill remembered this very clearly.

You must understand that the familiars controlled by vampires at the True Ancestor level are real monsters capable of easily destroying one or two cities. Even if you hear that someone can control dozens of such monsters, the sheer scale of it would be overwhelming.

However, it's alright if there aren't many of these familiars; once their numbers become enormous, Gil will have to rely on his trump cards to deal with them.

This forgotten war king must have found himself in a tough battle when commanding seventy-two familiars at the same time.

However—no matter how strong it is, can it be stronger than a World-class or Country-class Noble Phantasm?

"Yes, that snake charmer is indeed a subordinate of the War King—and the real danger is the snake charmer himself. He was originally just a nobleman as a vampire, but he gained great power by devouring two elder-level vampires and is known as the vampire closest to the True Ancestor."

Nangong Nayue said, "You should know by now, right?"

Jill hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Why do you call him a snake charmer?"

"You'll know if you've ever fought him," Nangong Nayue simply replied.

After Nangong Nayue finished speaking, she turned around and disappeared in a flash.

“…I only just realized it now, I was actually a little slow on the uptake…” Gil shook his head self-deprecatingly, “I only realized it after we fought… so Vatora’s familiar is probably a snake…”

And it devoured a vampire of the "elder" level who was stronger than itself... That's interesting.

Jill thought for a moment, smiled, and left.
