I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"..." After clearing away all the skeletons around him, Enkidu turned his gaze to Gilles. "Gilles, why is it that the first thing I see when I arrive is you kicking in someone who looks like your Master?"

"..." This tone...

It is indeed Enkidu without a doubt.

...This is hopeless.

I now have two paths to choose from.

First, pretending to be that chuunibyou (delusional) version of himself, he attacked Enkidu while laughing loudly.

There are two possibilities: one is that you are being humiliated, and the other is that the other person is humiliating you.

Because at this distance, I absolutely cannot beat the opponent.

Second, honesty explains everything.

There shouldn't be any problems... probably.

Gil shrugged. "Can someone be considered my Master without undergoing training? You should know that the upcoming battle will definitely be very dangerous."

"Because the Beast has already appeared here, Enkidu."

“…Hmm, that makes sense, but come here.” Enkidu smiled and beckoned to Gil.

"……I don't."

Jill chose to refuse.

Kusanagi was already a bit confused.

Wow, am I going blind? Why does the invincible hero I remember seem so cowardly now... what was that...?

I reckon if I were in a corner, I could see the trembling King of Heroes!

Kusanagi looked at Enkidu.

“…That’s a bit unbelievable…” the boy muttered to himself as he looked at Enkidu.

Enkidu... remember that he was Gilgamesh's only close friend.

The boy recalled the information in the book.

That was Gilgamesh's only friend in his entire life...

Yes, his only friend, and the one who guided Gilgamesh toward becoming a wise and benevolent ruler.

She is indeed a very beautiful person.

He suddenly turned his head as if he had noticed something.

“…Saber, stop talking now.” Kusanagi grabbed the short sword that had fallen from his sleeve. “A big guy has arrived.”

So Jill and Enki stopped their conversation and looked into the distance.

It was a gigantic ghost, composed of countless pale white skulls, floating in the air.

It has a pair of huge, long bone claws that give no doubt that they have the ability to tear apart any prey they catch.

“Oh, it’s a big guy—” Gil looked at Kusanagi, “Hey, Kusanagi, how about you have a go at that guy? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely save you if you’re in danger.”

“…Alright, then I’ll deal with it.” Kusanagi nodded and walked towards the enormous vengeful spirit.

"...You seem to trust him quite a bit?" Enkidu asked Gilgamesh.

"Yes, of course I'm not worried—that brat has a strong learning ability. He should have learned quite a few movement techniques from my battles, but I'm not sure how many he's actually learned."

Jill slowly closed her eyes and then sent a request to the template to participate in the lottery.

In the previous world, he had two chances to win a prize; he might as well use them all this time.

"Beep—" This time, the box in front of Jill emitted a golden light.

"..." There's always this strange feeling, like I'll become stronger after opening it—

"Congratulations, host, you have drawn the divine artifact: The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets—"

The moment the words left his mouth, a crimson gauntlet, inlaid with beautiful green gems, appeared directly in front of Jill.

Then, the crimson gauntlet suddenly transformed into a meteor and slammed into Jill's hand.

Then, Jill's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

A burning pain instantly overwhelmed Jill's mind; the agony, as if her bones were being torn apart and molten lava was being injected into her blood, made Jill want to scream out loud.

But he quickly endured it, his crimson eyes flashing with pain, which even Enki could see in his eyes.

“Gil—that’s—” Enkidu’s expression changed as soon as he saw the crimson gauntlet. “What is this?”

"Don't panic—it's just a mere gauntlet—" A fierce glint appeared in Gil's crimson eyes. "It's just a weapon called a God-Slaying Gear. If you want my arm, try it!"

Chapter 349 Now we have another trump card

Jill roared, and the tearing and burning sensation in his arm was instantly suppressed.

Whether it was sensing Gil's will or something else, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets were instantly suppressed on his arm.

The golden light, carrying an oppressive aura, pressed the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet firmly against Gil's left arm until the light of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet slowly dimmed and finally disappeared into his hand.

“Phew… I feel much better—Enkidu, thank you.” Gil extended his left hand and grasped Enkidu’s hand.

Although his face was somewhat pale, one could still see the imposing aura contained in his crimson eyes.

Although his left hand had just suffered such terrible damage, his face was only slightly pale, as if the feeling of having bones broken and molten lava injected into his blood had completely disappeared.

Then, the second box landed in front of Jill.

This time, the light that shone was purple.

What emerged was—the Lost Child of Zero Hour.

In that instant, Jill felt the template's malice once again.

According to Chen, who was in that sea of ​​stars, the person who designed the template was a nasty jerk.

So now that Jill has obtained the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets, she feels a stronger urge to use them to smear people's faces.

Jill thought for a moment and kept the second ability.

There are some advantages, after all, once you get it, you won't need it anymore.

Don't use it so soon. Let's focus on how to deal with that giant vengeful spirit... and the Beast too...

As for the Boosted Gear he had obtained from the Crimson Dragon Emperor—he remembered that this weapon was called the God-Slaying Gear.

This gauntlet's ability is particularly unfair.

Using this artifact, the user's power doubles every 10 seconds. Although it's only temporary, it grants power surpassing that of demon kings and gods, and at its peak, even gods can be slain. However, it is limited by the host's physical energy.

Unfortunately, this meant nothing to Jill, even when it came to calculating his original abilities.

If he were to use his multiplier ability after simultaneously using both Archer and Caster class cards, it would be even more terrifying.

However, I estimate that even with that, it can only be strengthened three or four times at most, which would still be terrifying enough.

The second ability of the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlets is called "Red Dragon Emperor's Gift (Boosted Gear Gift)," which allows him to transfer his increased power to his comrades or weapons.

Imagine if Jill amplified the power of Ea several times over and unleashed it; perhaps then she could achieve true separation of heaven and earth.

However, it is only a possibility. After all, in Gil's understanding, only when all seven seals of the Ea sword are fully opened can the world be created.

If things remain as they are, simply doubling the power a few times might not be enough.

Moreover, Jill has only just acquired the artifact—he needs to test it out now.

"Well—I wonder if that soul inside is even there." Jill looked at the crimson gauntlet that had appeared on her left hand, a smile playing on her lips.

"But let's try it out a little first." Gil slowly stretched out his left hand towards the distance, where Kusanagi had been struggling.

“Boost——”

The first sound rang out directly like that.

The magic emanating from Jill surged forth.

He stretched out his hand, and many runes began to appear in the space.

“Well…” Gil’s lips curled up.

“Boost——”

After two doublings, Gil, seeing that Kusanagi was almost in dire straits, gave up on continuing the doubling plan.

The runes began to arrange themselves—

Increase, increase, increase, convergence, explosion.

The five symbols formed a circle.

"Hidden—if you don't want to die, then get down."

Jill said that.

The enormous vengeful spirit was already badly damaged by Kusanagi's attack, but unfortunately it was still alive.

"Too weak. Having such eyes but no combat skills... What a pity." Jill sighed.

In the distance, Kusanagi saw the light coming from Gil's direction and blinked in confusion.

"Well, you're sure to survive anyway," Jill said with a smirk. "Then there's no need to be polite."

"Fire!"

boom--!

The golden magic transformed into a raging torrent, instantly annihilating the enormous vengeful spirit!

Thus, in this city, an "urban legend" of golden lasers flashing across the ground emerged.

……

“Such vengeful spirits appear during the Twilight Shrine… If I’m not mistaken, Ayaka Sajou has made her move; she’s still a bit unable to restrain herself.” Gil’s pupils slowly contracted, and he withdrew the gauntlet in his left hand.

"That's no reason for you to include me in the annihilation zone without a word!" Then Kusanagi pulled out a paper fan from somewhere and slapped it on Gil's head.

“…emmmm…nothing like that, you just didn’t leave in time.” Jill paused for a moment before saying.
