I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

However, this ability also has its drawbacks. Yase Motoki's delicate sonic barrier is vulnerable to loud noises like explosions, so it cannot be used to monitor large-scale battles.

Another drawback is that it is useless against supersonic opponents.

The target of this surveillance escaped the battlefield at an incredible speed, beyond even the detection of Yase Motoki's abilities. This is, of course, an ability that ordinary demons cannot imitate.

"Hmm...it's quite tricky," Jill sighed helplessly. "Could I take a look at the girl? I want to see if I can find any clues."

“Gil-sensei? You…” Yase Motoki looked at Gil with some surprise.

“Well, it’s just a try,” Jill said. “I can’t guarantee whether we’ll find any clues. You guys keep watch outside for me, and whatever the outcome, I’ll let you know.”

Chapter 297 Troublesome Matters

"Let me confirm a few more things. The girl over there, the report says she hasn't logged into the Demon Clan, right?" Jill started confirming some information again.

After all, he needed to know whether the person in question was a demon or a human in order to better examine what kind of problems had occurred in their body.

"At least in the demon registration database of Itogami City, it's said that such an individual doesn't exist. Well, that child isn't a demon, so it's understandable if you want to be reasonable." Yase Motoki shrugged.

"...Not a demon? Is it one of your kind?" Nagatsuki rarely showed a surprised expression.

Even among demons, those with flesh and blood capable of destroying several buildings are rare. Let alone ordinary humans possessing such an ability.

"Well, the company thinks it's just that she has a lot of traces of magical modifications to her body, but she can basically be considered an ordinary human being," Yase Motoki shrugged and said.

"Ordinary humans are hovering over the demon special zone and destroying buildings, huh? How ridiculous."

"Well, what I'm sure of is that this opponent is definitely not an ordinary person. Although that's not funny."

"How badly is this girl injured?" Na Yue asked, turning her gaze back to the injured girl.

"It is said that his life has been saved for the time being. It seems that the loss of internal organs can be regenerated by the body's cells."

“Missing internal organs? In which part?” Jill asked.

"The area around the diaphragm and kidneys... that is, the celiac plexus area."

That spot...

Jill's eyes held a hint of seriousness.

That location must have something unusual about it.

“Was it eaten…” Natsuki frowned.

“As for magical modifications… let me see.” Jill frowned and said.

"Then I'll leave it to you," Natsuki said.

Just then, a very innocent voice came from behind her. It was a pleasant-sounding male voice, yet tinged with sarcasm.

"Ah, I see. What was taken away wasn't her internal organs, but the central nervous system of her spirit... no, to be precise, her spirit itself... This has piqued my interest..."

“It’s you, Demitoris Vatola…” Nagatsuki frowned noticeably as she stared at the voice that emerged from the passage. “Why is this unrelated vampire here?”

"How cold. I was asked by your national organization to come and visit you..."

Vatola saw Gil and bowed to him, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency the Hero King."

"Since you've come here—you must know something, right?" Jill didn't say anything about Vatora's behavior, but just looked at the girl inside the window and asked.

"Haha...who knows?" Vatola straightened up, shrugged, and said with a helpless smile.

“Tch…” Jill shrugged. “Stop pretending—you definitely know something, just say it.”

"Well... the armored flying ship from the Nordic Altykia, although it hasn't been officially announced yet, lost contact yesterday. The location information shows it disappeared about 160 kilometers west of Itogami Island," Vatora said with a shrug.

Vatola's seemingly irrelevant information caused Natsuki's expression to turn serious.

"Is the royal family of Arutikia involved in this incident?"

"Although there's no evidence yet, don't you think the timing is too coincidental? Well, anyway, I'll just observe from the sidelines for now. I don't intend to make a move yet, so don't worry."

This is really strange, considering that Vatora is a complete battle maniac.

"What brings you here today, you battle maniac?" Natsuki stared at Vatora with eyes full of distrust.

For the "old generation" of vampires who are immortal and destined to live long, boring lives, fighting powerful enemies is the best pastime and the value of survival.

The opponent in this incident is someone who can destroy buildings with his bare hands, so why isn't he making a move?

“They are not your enemies. Perhaps if we continue to let them run wild, we will see something interesting,” Vatola said with a smirk.

"...Do you think I'd believe what you're saying?"

"I've given you my advice. Believe it or not."

"Vatola said in a nonchalant tone. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he added, "It's not exactly a request for a reward for the information I gave you, but I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"It wouldn't hurt to listen. What is it?"

For a fleeting moment, Vatora's eyes were tinged with genuine killing intent.

Perhaps it was a warning to that month.

A dense surge of magical energy erupted, causing the sturdy central stone door to creak and groan.

Jill took a step forward without hesitation, her magic bursting forth and colliding head-on with Vatora's magic.

Motoki Yase already knew Gil's true identity, but he hadn't seen Gil make a move during his previous battle with Narakvara, so he didn't know just how strong Gil was.

But this time, Jill's display of magic alone startled Motoki Yase.

What terrifying magic! This opponent is a vampire closest to a True Ancestor! Jill doesn't seem to be using her full strength, yet she can easily suppress Vatora—

What powerful magic this is!

This is without Gilles using his own Caster class card. After using his class card and breaking the seal with all his might, the Ea sword he unleashed could truly tear the world apart.

The two magics collided for only a few seconds, but Yase Motoki felt that his worldview had been completely shattered.

“Ha… This trip was worthwhile… Well then, let me tell you the last thing—” Vatora withdrew her magic, “Don’t think that this time our opponent is on the same level as the Black Death Emperor’s faction—if this is not handled properly, even the Fourth Progenitor will die if he gets involved—in the end, don’t get the Fourth Progenitor involved—if he dies, I will be in a lot of trouble.”

After saying that, Vatora vanished from the spot.

“Tch—what a terrible fellow.” Gil frowned.

Although Vatola is a terrible guy, Jill still has a basic ability to detect lies.

Furthermore, since Vatora has put it this way, it can only be confirmed that the information provided by the other party is absolutely true.

Jill's eyes hardened slightly. "This is really bad."

"...Speaking of which, that snake charmer always called you the Hero King—you wouldn't actually be the King of Uruk, would you?" Natsuki glanced at Gil and asked.

“Of course I am, it’s just that I’m not the person you know right now.” After saying that, Jill turned her gaze back to the seriously injured girl in the room. “As for this matter—it’s best to handle it properly.”

Chapter 298 He's a lovely child

Today, as always, Jill is going home.

His face was full of trouble.

When he left, he had nothing in his hands, but when he returned, he was carrying a stack of documents.

Inside the elevator, Jill flipped through the documents, her face grave.

“Mask… Parasite, an interesting name.” Jill finally rolled up the documents in her hand.

The elevator doors opened, and just as Jill was about to leave—

A girl bumped into it.

No, I should say I was in a hurry to leave, but I just happened to bump into Jill.

However, Jill wasn't knocked down; instead, it looked as if the man was throwing himself into Jill's arms.

"Ouch—" the girl cried out in pain.

"Be careful when you walk, little girl." Jill reached out and put his hand on the girl's shoulder. He wasn't a weak person who could be easily bumped, so he was sure he could stand firmly without any problem and would not be knocked to the ground by the girl.

The girl who bumped into Jill had shoulder-length silver hair and a pair of deep blue eyes, as blue as the sky.

"I...I'm sorry..." the girl apologized to Gil.

Jill didn't take it to heart. "Just be more careful next time. Even if you're in a rush, you should still pay a little more attention."

"Yes..." The girl nodded slightly and immediately stepped into the elevator.

"...So eager?" Jill frowned slightly.

Jill looked at the documents in her hand and sighed deeply.

"Why do I have to handle this?"

……

a few hours ago.

Jill entered the ward and went to the side of the seriously injured girl.

He stretched out his hand, and golden runes began to spread through the air.

Outside the ward, Nangong Nayue glanced at Yase Motoki and asked, "You know something about his true identity, don't you?"

“Yes… he is a Heroic Spirit—and indeed, he is the King of Uruk.” Yase Motoki answered Nagatsuki Minami’s question.

“…This is not the Gilgamesh I know…” Nangong Nayue rubbed her head, feeling that her worldview had been slightly shaken.

Why does the King of Heroes have that kind of mesmerizing laugh?

Why does Hero King look so natural using his phone?

Are all Heroic Spirits a bunch of shady characters?

“That’s normal, don’t worry, Natsuki-chan, he doesn’t mean any harm. Besides, he himself said that if he goes all out, he can win against even a True Ancestor—although I don’t know how credible that is.” Yase Motoki looked at Gil, who was completely focused inside the room, through the glass window. “But I always feel that if he says that, he must be able to do it.”

"Is that so... I guess so." Nagatsuki Namiya responded noncommittally to Motoki Yase's words.

Inside the room, Jill quickly finished his examination and came out.

"How is the situation?" Nangong Nayue asked.

“It’s a spell I don’t recognize—but I’ve learned something else.” Jill closed the door tightly, and the magical fluctuations around her gradually subsided.
