I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"Fuck your sister!"

Xiao Gucheng cursed, shouting as if he had been driven to the brink of despair.

Even knowing that the harder he tried, the more he would sound like he was lying, there was no other way at this point. Himeragi Yukina's displeased gaze pierced his nerves like a knife.

Jill was also watching the commotion from the sidelines, a smile on her face that she couldn't hide.

Chapter 322 You bastard, I'll tear you to pieces!

"...Seriously, after causing such a huge mess, you guys are the only ones who can remain so peaceful."

Just then, a nostalgic voice came from behind them in the ancient city. Though the speech was unclear, it inexplicably exuded an incredible charisma of leadership.

Turning around, I saw that standing there was Nangong Nayue, who should have been asleep.

“Teacher Nangong, you are indeed awake, aren’t you?” Himeragi Yukina said.

"Well, I knew you were awake a while ago, but you're only coming now. Were you still half asleep?" Jill asked.

“I was conserving my strength; I’m the one who has to hold up this prison barrier.” Nangong Nayue looked a little unhappy. “Besides, I directly took a hit from the Fourth Progenitor’s familiar.”

“Okay, okay, you’re right,” Jill said, raising an eyebrow.

Jill actually quite admires Nagatsuki, which is why he speaks to her in a relatively friendly tone.

Lying and haggling are basically survival tactics used by the weak.

For someone of overwhelming strength, all of that is meaningless.

She will retaliate against those who deceive her with her strength, and she will crush anyone who stands in her way, friend or foe. That is Nangong Nayue's way of doing things, and it is also the source of her charm.

This is somewhat similar to Jill's style of doing things.

This is probably one of the reasons why Jill agrees with Nagaku Nagaku.

“Thank you so much this time.” Nangong Nayue looked at Jill and said earnestly.

“Well, I just got caught up in it—and helped you out of the way.” Jill shrugged.

So arrogant...

Nangong Nayue narrowed her eyes, but didn't say those words aloud.

Then, Nanamiya Nayuki suddenly turned to Yuma with a serious expression.

"...Sendou Muayo's daughter. So, shall we continue?"

Sendou Yuma stood up quietly and shook her head.

"Forget it. That intense anxiety is gone. I don't think I have any reason to do anything about the prison barrier anymore... and 'Azure' is like this too."

“Is that so?” Natsuki nodded as she looked at Yuma’s materialized “Guardian.”

The faceless knight, due to the reverse flow of excess magic, has become a tragic figure covered in wounds.

Even if she recovers, it will likely take a very long time for Yuma Sentoki to fully regain her powers as a witch. Furthermore, Yuma Sentoki herself doesn't have that desire.

She was finally freed from her mother's curse.

Xiao Gucheng smiled with satisfaction.

The change occurred in that instant.

“…'Azure'?”

As Sendou Yuma was about to unravel the materialization of the "Guardian," her voice trembled.

The faceless blue knight's armor began to tremble—it was a strange noise of metal clashing against metal.

"...It's laughing?" Jill narrowed her eyes and reached out to grab the hilt of the sword from which the golden ripples emerged.

The knight, covered in wounds, smiled beneath a hollow facade that made him appear as a skeleton.

"Stop, 'Azure'!" Sendou Yuma commanded the Blue Knight in a mournful voice.

However, the Blue Knight did not stop.

The Blue Knight placed his hand on the sword hanging at his waist and drew it for the first time.

What emerged from the scabbard was a brand new blade, sharpened to a gleaming shine.

Kojou Akatsuki and Yukina Himeragi stood in front of Nagatsuki Minamiya, each standing to protect her.

However, the Blue Knight's next move completely deviated from what the ancient city and its men had expected.

The Blue Knight thrust his greatsword toward Sentoki Yuma's chest.

"Watch out!" Enkidu lunged forward and pushed Sendou Yuma aside.

Her body was pierced through; a sharp longsword pierced Enkidu's chest from behind.

"...Mother...you, you actually..."

"Enkidu—!"

At that moment, a massive magical storm erupted—

It's completely impossible that human magic could have exploded in that tiny space within the prison's protective barrier.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?!" Nangong Nayue shouted loudly.

She protected Kojou Akatsuki and Yukina Himeragi with the Chains of Discipline, preventing them from being crushed by the magical storm.

She herself also endured a lot of pressure.

It's practically another True Ancestor-level magic power—

"You bastard—I will tear you to pieces!"

In a fit of rage, Jill drew his most prized possession.

The weapon that was said to have created heaven and earth has awakened once more and has let out its roar!

"Awaken, Ea!" Gil had completely gone mad, and the Chains of Heaven pulled Enkidu and Yuuma Sentoki behind him.

"Wait...!" Nangong Nayue saw the sword, her expression changed, and she tried to stop Jill.

But is that possible?

"What is that...!" the witch's voice rang out.

"Enuma Elish!"

The wind howled, and the dark red storm roared, destroying everything!

at this time--

The sanctuary collapsed completely.

The stone wall, piled so high that one had to look up to see it, collapsed like an avalanche, causing the artificial ground to shake violently. Visibility was obscured by flying debris and dust, and the interiors of the buildings were plunged into chaotic darkness. It was a destructive scene reminiscent of the end of the world.

Kojou Akatsuki was caught off guard by the sudden collapse.

If this continues, he will be crushed to death by the enormous weight, and will truly lose his life.

What saved Akatsuki and the others was a strange, floating sensation similar to dizziness. It was a side effect of spatial teleportation.

It was that moon that distorted space, moving Akatsuki and the others to the outside of the collapsing sanctuary.

“Cough…” Enkidu coughed, spitting out a small amount of blood.

Blood was flowing from the corners of Nangong Nayue's mouth, eyes, and ears. The prison barrier had been violently torn apart from the inside. As the maintainer of the prison barrier, she would have been dead if she hadn't quickly severed her connection with it.

Unfortunately, cutting off contact meant that some people were allowed to escape.

"What a terrifying attack! I bet everyone inside is dead."

The voice came from a woman with long, flowing hair. She was wearing what appeared to be a twelve-layered kimono, the kind worn by noblewomen during the Heian period.

Although the clothing was magnificent and elaborate, the figure stained with black and white gave the impression of being dressed as the Grim Reaper. While her face was young and beautiful, her eyes were crimson—fiery eyes. Those gently smiling eyes held an unusually ominous quality.

"You're really lucky you didn't die in that storm, you bastard..." Nangong Nayue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"It's hard to say. After all, besides me, there should be a few other people who escaped and want to kill you to settle this hatred." The witch stared at Na Yue and revealed a sinister smile.

Chapter 323 The evening bells have already rung...

"Unfortunately, you've offended someone, Xian Du Mu A Ye." Nangong Na Yue wiped the blood from the corner of her eye. "That's a madman."

"A madman capable of destroying the world." Nangong Nayue felt that the sword in Jill's hand seemed to have some limitations, and if she wasn't in a frenzy, although the magic power mobilized at once was enormous, the efficiency of its use would be about 10% lower. Whether she could sever the connection with the prison barrier in time was a real question.

With the restrictions lifted and the magic fully utilized, that attack, named "Enuma Elish," could probably destroy the world.

This is probably what Jill meant by the confidence to challenge the true ancestors.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that Jill had another trump card up her sleeve.

If Gilgamesh uses the Wise King's Class Card and Archer's Gilgamesh's Class Card, and then uses Ea, the power will double.

If Gilles can fully unleash his potential and break the seal on the Ea, destroying a world with a single strike is no joke.

"...Are you kidding me, Na Yue?" The woman with fiery eyes lowered her voice.

"It's fine if you want to think that way... as long as you dare to try, Aye." Nangong Nayue's lips curled up into a wicked smile.

The two exchanged only a few words before the tension escalated.

"Thump—" These were the sounds of several footsteps.

There were six people in total: an old man, a woman, a man in armor, a gentleman in a top hat, a short young man, and a seemingly very thin youth. Although there was no uniformity in their ages or clothing, none of them had a particularly frightening appearance. Yet, this very fact made it all the more terrifying.

"Sendou Muaya... the secretary's witch, huh? First, let me express my gratitude for breaking open that hateful prison barrier."

The first to speak was a gentleman in a top hat, around forty-five years old. Although he had a strong, muscular physique, perhaps due to his attire, he possessed an intellectual and gentle air. He wouldn't have aroused suspicion even if he mingled in a club or opera house frequented by the upper class.

However, what emanated from his entire body was an overwhelming and undeniable killing intent. His eyes, burning with fury, were fixed on Nangong Nayue and her group.

"I said."

A chilling voice rang out, a voice so cold it seemed to freeze the night sky, "Who gave you permission, you bastard, to stare at my dearest friend like that?"

The man turned around, but the next moment, his eyeballs were gouged out.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"
