I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

boom!

The beautiful green-haired girl burst forth in one direction, her face filled with anxiety.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, Gil—don't do anything reckless!" Enkidu kept checking Gil's direction. "Honestly, we should keep a closer eye on him...!"

Enkidu's attention was drawn to the strange aura emanating from her after landing.

She slowly turned her head, and what came into view was the figure of an unfamiliar old man.

The old man was looking at her.

Chapter 399 I hope you can answer my question properly!

The old man who appeared before Enkidu was a man wearing a retro-style suit, with a slender and tall figure, and leaning on a cane.

The old man's serious and sharp appearance, coupled with his straight back, gave him an aura that evoked the description of an old gentleman.

The old gentleman in front of him was so "obvious" that Enkidu could spot him at a glance.

"..." However, the old gentleman did not look at Enkidu, as if he was trying to hide something. He held his hat with one hand and slowly passed by Enkidu.

However, the old gentleman's actions made Enki suspicious.

So Enkidu reached out and placed his hand on the old gentleman's shoulder.

"who are you?"

A chilling aura spread out, and in an instant, the temperature in this narrow alley seemed to drop several degrees.

It's not that Enkidu is too impulsive.

Rather, she sensed that the old gentleman's aura was by no means weak.

Enkidu possesses the highest level of aura detection ability. She can even detect auras from afar through the earth, and at close range, she can render [Aura Concealment] skills of the same or lower level ineffective.

Or rather, as long as Enkidu is willing, there is nothing within her perception range that she cannot sense.

Although the old gentleman's aura appeared weak, Enki could sense that the old gentleman's current state was less like "a person" and more like "a person putting on a leather suit."

No, to be more precise, it's more like "a peerless master deliberately found an unremarkable cloak to wear in order to hide his terrifying identity."

When Enkidu judged the other person by his own standards, he vaguely sensed that the other person might be someone who could threaten Gil's current safety.

"..."

The other party was clearly startled by Enkidu's actions; Enkidu could clearly feel the old man's body tremble under her palm.

Enkidu narrowed his eyes, his almost golden pupils filled with murderous intent, and looked at the old man. "Aren't you going to answer?"

"Are you Fire Mist?" the old man asked, frowning.

No, I didn't see any artifacts belonging to the Crimson Lord on the other party, nor did I see any power of existence on their body, nor was it Mystice's Torch...

“Flame Haze? Sorry, I’m not.” Enkidu withdrew his hand. “My name is Enkidu.”

“…My name is Rami,” the old gentleman coughed and said.

“I see. So what should I call you? Bone Collector, or Corpse Collector?” Enkidu paused for a moment, then asked.

“Just call me Rami,” the old man said. “At least, that’s what everyone calls me in this situation.”

“Alright, Rami.” Enkidu nodded slightly. “Let’s call you that for now…”

Enkidu's eyes flashed with even more intense emotion. "Well then, I happen to have a question too, and I hope you can answer it for me!"

……

tread……

Gil landed on the riverbank in Misaki City and then sat down.

Something flowed out from within her soul, slowly spreading throughout her body, greatly easing the stiffness in Jill's body.

Jill's mental strength was still not enough to go against the current and see the soul clearly, but she could still feel the energy that appeared in the soul.

However, more and more people are coming here.

Jill slowly reached out her hand and then clenched it towards the void.

"This is the place in this world that is destined to become the center of struggle."

Jill slowly clenched her fist. "It's not enough... If it's just at this level... it's not enough..."

There are many powerful beings in this world.

At least, Shudnan, who appeared to be evenly matched with Gil, is one of them.

Moreover, for some reason, Xiudnan did not reveal his trump card.

However, Gilles defeated Shudnan by using almost all of his current strength.

Moreover, it is certain that there is more than one strong person like Xiudenan.

At the very least, the other two temporary leaders of the masquerade ball are definitely strong individuals on par with Xiudenan.

Gilles barely managed to defeat Shudnan, and if Shudnan were to reveal his trump card, the template would likely not stand idly by.

At that time, he will have the ability to defeat his opponent.

"As expected, I'm still too weak..."

Jill reached out and shook his hand tightly.

"I don't want to be the kind of guy who's truly useless once the Gate of Babylon is gone."

Just then, a pair of hands reached out from behind Jill and covered her eyes. "Guess who I am?"

"Enkidu".

There's no need to guess; after all, in this world, the only one who could act so intimately with Gillespie is Enkidu.

“…Hmm…Gil, your reaction is completely different from what’s written in the book.” Enkidu let go of Gil’s hand, sat down next to Gil, and said.

“Well, it’s not that different.” Gil looked at the river. “Because the only one who can be this close to me without triggering my instincts is Enkidu.”

"...And what about Anna-chan, Natsume-chan, Illya, and the like?"

Enkidu's sudden words almost made Gil sputter.

It's a pity he didn't drink any water, otherwise he probably would have spat it out.

"What did you say... One of them is my subordinate, and the other two are just like younger sisters to me." Jill almost choked just now, but after realizing what she meant, she retorted immediately.

That is indeed the case.

Because Xia Shi belongs to Homra in the dark world, he is considered Gil's subordinate.

In Jill's eyes, Ilya and Anna were indeed just children who needed care.

but……

"If they make such a move, you won't react excessively anyway, right?" Enkidu paused for a moment before saying.

“…Maybe.” Gil sighed. “But Enkidu, why do you keep talking about those little girls?”

Enkidu stared at Gilgamesh intently for a long while before uttering a sentence—

"Because Jill is a lolicon."

Jill nearly coughed up blood after hearing that.

Who the hell is a lolicon!

I'm not!

I don't!

"Jill, you'd choose Esther even if you had to pick a sword... and you still say no?"

"I'm not! I didn't!"

Gilles grinned wickedly. "It seems I must reaffirm my status and authority!"

"Waaaaaaah!"

Chapter 400 I will protect you too

The two of them wrestled and played around for a while before finally lying down on the grass.

“Phew…it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this relaxed,” Jill said.

Indeed, Jill has been embroiled in various disputes and battles lately and hasn't had a moment of relaxation in a long time.

Enkidu lay down next to Gil and asked, "I remember the Polonin Festival before, I had a lot of fun then."

“Right, right?” Gil smiled, then looked at Enkidu. “Next time, if there’s a similar festival in this world, I’ll go with you.”

"Haha, then don't go back on your word, okay?" Enkidu said with a smile.

“Of course not.” Jill looked at the sky. “What the king promised, we will do our utmost to fulfill.”

After the two lay down for a while, Enkidu suddenly spoke up, "I just saw that bone collector."

Jill paused for a moment, then said, "You mean Rami the bone collector?"

“Oh right, does Gil know about this too?” Enkidu asked.

“I’m not interested in that suit,” Jill said, sitting up. “However, the bone collector’s true identity is quite impressive.”

"His true identity?" Enkidu blinked. "Gil, do you know the identity of that Crimson Apostle in that suit... cough, that torch?"

“I know him—that Rami is the Crimson Lord known as the ‘Spiral Organ,’ and also the most skilled Free Master in this world—in our terms, he’s roughly equivalent to a near-Quasi-Grand Caster.” Gil said, looking at the riverbank.

"The Spiral Organ has developed quite a few free techniques. Even the current level of sealing energy, which allows the use of phosphorus, is the result of improvements made to the Spiral Organ." As Gil said this, he took out a wine glass from the golden ripples on the side and poured a purplish-red liquid into the glasses in his and Enkidu's hands.

【Spiral Organ】—This name belongs to the most outstanding Free Master in the Crimson World.

Including the sealing, many excellent free-form techniques were created by this Crimson World Apostle, bringing a truly essential influence and impetus to the development of free-form techniques.

"Gil, given your current physical condition, it seems you shouldn't drink, right?" Enkidu was about to bring the glass to his lips when he looked at Gil and said, as if he had remembered something.

“Just think of it as grape juice.” Jill smiled and then drank half the liquid in the glass in one gulp.

Enkidu took a small sip of the liquid in his glass, and his lips twitched.
