I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

“They all want you back on the front lines,” the young man said, pouring himself a drink.

“I will soon be able to return to the battlefield… But is it really okay for you to slack off so openly?” The wise king also poured a cup of wine, and the two clinked glasses like friends before he spoke.

"No problem... Anyway, there's a temporary ceasefire at the front, and those guys seem to be calmer now." The young man downed his drink in one gulp. "But I've always been curious, why do you agree with me?"

The wise king smiled and said, "I just find you more pleasing to the eye."

"When are you going back?" The young man was about to pour wine again when the wise king stopped his hand, sighed, and took out his collection.

“After the next Holy Grail War, you will take my place—no, or rather, you should take your place back.” The Wise King poured wine for both of them. “I have already told him what he should basically know.”

The rest is up to you.

"When do you plan to grant him Level B access?" the young man asked.

"This matter—wait for him..."

……

Itogami Island, as a "Demon Special Zone," has long nights. Demons mostly prefer to be active at night, so in this city with a large demon population, many restaurants and entertainment venues remain open until dawn.

On the other hand, a little distance from the city's hustle and bustle, where the neon lights cannot reach, the dark sea expands infinitely as if it wants to swallow the entire island.

Waves from the open sea relentlessly pounded against the man-made shore, splashing up icy spray. The white waves shimmered with a silvery sheen under the moonlight.

There are two figures on the sea.

If you look closely, you can see that the two people are witches dressed in strange attire.

One was jet black, the other crimson, both witches exuding an ominous and dark aura.

"What a spoilsport, big sister."

"After a ten-year hiatus, I was hoping for an even more glamorous welcome back."

Then, they saw a figure.

That figure would become an indelible nightmare for them for the rest of their lives.

"A grand welcome? Lowly insects should die like insects, crawling on the ground in a lowly manner. What makes you expect a grand welcome?"

A cold and ruthless voice rang out.

Black motorcycle suit, white undershirt, black trousers.

His bloodshot eyes were devoid of any emotion.

"This territory does not welcome you, you bastards," said the golden-haired king, having clearly seen the two witches.

"So, go to hell."

At that moment, countless golden ripples appeared behind the king.

As the Crimson Witch's jet-black pupils contracted violently.

Golden ripples launched countless swords, spears, and halberds, transforming into a torrential downpour that enveloped them!

Chapter 310 A Storm is Brewing!

The ground, bombarded by swords, spears, and halberds, looked as if it had been struck by a meteorite.

After the smoke cleared, there was no one in sight.

“…Spatial control magic, huh?” Jill looked at the empty ground. “Just going for a walk and I run into something so annoying. It’s really irritating.”

Tap tap tap tap...

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region police force arrived at this time, and everyone was stunned when they saw the mess on the ground.

“Your Excellency, Demon Master…” The captain of the guard team stepped forward.

“Itogami Island… has been invaded.” Gil raised his head slightly and said.

"This..." The captain of the guard team's expression changed.

"The other party knows spatial manipulation magic, no, or rather, they borrowed someone's power."

Jill's expression turned grave. "They escaped my attack, those two bastards..."

Who could it be...? I'm a little curious... It seems this year's Harumuin Festival might not be peaceful again.

"...This is really troublesome..."

……

the next day.

Cornerstone Gate.

Although this is the central facility that controls the management of the entire artificial island, it is also the largest fashion hotspot on the island, where high-end brand stores are concentrated.

Among them are the Demon Special Zone Museum and the local specialty market, which are open to visitors. Therefore, it has become a consensus among the locals that a visit to Itogami Island must start from here.

Enkidu and Gil were touring the museum when Gil seemed a little distracted, which made Enkidu slightly displeased.

"Gil, you seem a little distracted today?" Enkidu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Gil's eyes.

Today, she styled her long green hair into a ponytail and didn't wear her usual white robe. Instead, she wore a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, which looked quite suitable.

"No...it's nothing, I just saw something." Jill came to her senses and smiled apologetically.

He wasn't wearing the black motorcycle outfit he'd worn last night when he went out wandering around; instead, he was wearing a white shirt and blue trousers.

"The intruders from last night?" Enkidu asked curiously. "In your eyes, they should all be easy to deal with, right?"

“No, Enkidu, that’s only part of the reason—think about it, why would they come here? Those two are incredibly weak… But they must have some purpose.” Gil said, looking at the fossils on display in the Itogami Island museum.

"Purpose?" Enkidu asked, glancing at the informational sign on the display case showcasing the fossils.

“For example, liberating some leaders or something—I didn’t spend more than a month on Itogami Island for nothing…” Gil smiled slightly, “Enkidu, are you familiar with that so-called urban legend of Itogami Island?”

“…How would I know…” Enkidu puffed out his cheeks in dissatisfaction, looking rather cute.

“There’s a secret facility on Itogami Island that houses dangerous magical criminals. Even the management commune doesn’t know its location. It’s known as the Prison Barrier, a barrier that’s part of urban legends. It’s said that it houses extremely dangerous magical criminals, and there might be a few who are comparable to some second-rate Heroic Spirits.” Gilles said this, then picked up the snacks he had just bought and handed them to Enkidu.

"Hmm? Such a thing actually exists? But Gil, you seem to be underestimating it a bit, don't you?" Enkidu took the snacks and said, "You mean, those two intruders might be eyeing that barrier or something?"

“It’s not a possibility, it’s a certainty. And there’s definitely something extraordinary being imprisoned inside that barrier.” Jill shrugged. “That’s probably it.”

“Emmm… well, but Nero seems to be experiencing memory recovery lately…” Enkidu said, biting the straw of the drink Gilles offered him.

“That’s a good thing,” Jill said.

After all, Nero is no pushover.

The memory recovery is a good thing, I guess.

……

"I heard it...the sound of the bells..."

"It's still very faint, but soon it will really start ringing."

"That person destined for death—"

The tall, black figure planted his heavy, black sword into the ground and murmured something under his breath.

"So you are the one who tolled the final bell for the one who ends the world? King of Heroes..."

……

After changing elevators on the twelfth floor, we ascended to a higher observation deck.

When the elevator doors opened, what you saw was a large hall surrounded by glass, seemingly floating in the air.

This is the observation deck at the very center of Itogami Island, at the highest point of the Foundation Gate—

This is undoubtedly the highest point on Itogami Island.

“Oh, oh. Anyway, it’s really pleasant to look around here.” Jill looked down and then laughed. “Looking down over this island is something that happens very rarely.”

“Yes, this place is really nice.” Enkidu nodded in agreement.

However, seeing the same thing too often can become boring, so after half an hour, Jill and the others chose to leave the Keystone Gate.

“Alright, where should we go next…” Gil was thinking when Enkidu suddenly nudged Gil with his elbow.

“Jill, look there.”

With blue hair, light blue eyes, and an inorganic, doll-like beauty, the artificial life form girl noticed Gil and the other girl and said in a monotone voice, "The search target has been confirmed by visual inspection."

"What happened, Astarothie?" Gil asked, slightly surprised.

After all, the blue-haired girl in front of them was the personal maid of a certain somewhat wicked older loli. Why would she send this girl out? Something important must have happened, right?

Although slightly annoyed, Gil decided to calm down and listen to what Astarothie had to say.

"Status report. Based on the regular communication at 9:00 AM today, communication with the instructors has been cut off."

"...Communication cut off?" Gil paused, his expression immediately turning to utter astonishment. "Nangong Nayue has disappeared!?"

"Definitely. The transmitter and the talisman's response have also disappeared."

Astarothie's words caused Enkidu and Gil to exchange a glance.

Things seem to be getting a little serious.

What happened to Nangong Nayue? She's gone missing.

Jill and Enki both sensed the gravity of the situation.

Because Nangong Nayue's strength can be said to be quite formidable.

Even Jill's assessment was quite high.

How could someone like that disappear at this time? It's far too suspicious.

Jill had already noticed.

This is a sign.

because……

A storm is brewing.

The wind fills the tower—
