I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Chapter 449 [Salamandra]

"I have no choice, Izayoi. Your physical abilities are just too overpowered, so I have to resort to this move." The result of Gilles and Izayoi's tentative exchange was that neither could gain the upper hand.

Izayoi might still have some patience, but Gilgamesh truly didn't have the patience to continue.

After all, Jill has been busy with this matter since morning!

Therefore, in order to finish the battle quickly, Jill didn't plan to hold back anymore.

"Unfold, Gate of Babylon!"

With this powerful incantation, the gates of Babylon's golden kingdom were opened.

Countless golden ripples shimmered in the sky.

"Hey, little brother, that's really fouling!" Izayoi laughed, but the look in his eyes turned serious.

If Gilles were to use his Noble Phantasm to attack Izayoi, then Izayoi would have no choice but to defend herself, which would inevitably expose an opening that Gilles could exploit.

If you don't defend, you can dodge, but the result is no different from defending.

Moreover, the terrain below is a tower, and if Izayoi were to hide inside the tower, it would be an overwhelming disadvantage for him.

Although Izayoi possesses terrifying strength and speed, she has not learned any techniques.

While Gil may not possess terrifying strength and speed, he has certainly put in a lot of hard work in terms of technique.

For example, in complex terrain such as inside a tower, Jill has a three-dimensional movement technique called Shadow Step, which allows her to move at high speeds regardless of terrain obstacles.

On flat ground, Jill can use magic to accelerate her speed.

Not to mention he has many other skills; it's safe to say that his skills are among the best even among Heroic Spirits.

"So be careful not to get killed!"

Jill swung her hand fiercely.

Countless magical artifacts instantly revealed their fangs.

"Tch..." Izayoi clicked her tongue. "So, that attack method is really troublesome."

Izayoi had considered grabbing Gilles before he unleashed his Noble Phantasm, but Gilles was still in mid-air. If he jumped up, Gilles' energy-based capture Noble Phantasm would be useless against him. However, that didn't mean Gilles didn't have a physical capture Noble Phantasm.

While that thing couldn't trap him, it could still "interfere with his movements."

However, disruptive actions, knocking away Noble Phantasms, and dodging will all leave openings—

This flaw, for the game, was practically the final blow...

So all I can say is... it's practically a dead end!

"Phew, little guy, as expected of the King of Heroes." Izayoi's lips curled up.

“Yes, that could very well be a dead end for me, but I can still do it…” Izayoi’s knees bent, and he shot off like a rocket with a loud “bang”.

"Fool!" Jill sneered, and the golden ripples around her suddenly erupted with terrifying attack power.

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks—all flew directly toward Izayoi, who was rising rapidly.

"Hahahahahahahaha—" Izayoi laughed loudly as he rose to a height even higher than Gil.

whispering sound--

Gil immediately saw through Izayoi's thoughts.

Trying to use aerial weapons as a stepping stone to dive and grab Gilgamesh, or using physical Noble Phantasms like Enkidu to capture the opponent, will only be swayed away by that terrifying power and speed, and cannot be stopped at all.

Given the speed of the dive, Jill could avoid it, but how?

Izayoi is incredibly fast, and when she dives down, Gil has very little room to dodge.

If Gil stands still, he might be able to avoid it, but he also risks being caught by Izayoi.

However, if they try to dodge, there's no guarantee that Izayoi won't launch a preemptive charge from an angle—

"The worst has happened...!"

Jill gritted her teeth.

"Little guy, take this!"

Izayoi descended from the sky, laughing heartily!

“…Got it!”

Gil decisively flapped the White Dragon Emperor's wings and charged towards Izayoi.

Yes, Jill quickly came up with a solution.

That is, as long as you take the first step—

"Magic... Release!"

Gilgamesh used the skills he had learned after using the Saber Class Card. The immense magical power strengthened the wings on his back, and with a flap of his wings, he flew towards Izayoi.

Jill may not be as fast as Izayoi's dive, but that doesn't mean Jill is less agile.

So Jill flew straight upwards, and then—

Just as Gilgamesh and Izayoi were about to collide, Gilgamesh sidestepped, creating some distance between them.

They've arrived right behind Izayoi!

However, instead of rushing, he shouted, "Got it!"

"Don't think about it!"

Just as Gil had expected, Izayoi also swung his hand at Gil, but Gil stepped back to create distance and grabbed him before Izayoi could react!

At this moment, the two contracts glowed, determining the winner.

Gil's contract document was preserved, while Izayoi's document was completely burned.

"Result: One contestant wins. The contract document can be used as a command authority thereafter."

Such sounds echoed through the space.

"Tch, that's pretty calm, little guy." Izayoi clicked his tongue.

"Let's go down first." Gil looked at the chaotic crowd below, holding onto Izayoi who couldn't fly with one hand, and rubbing his temples with the other.

Although Izayoi is a guy with physical abilities that are so strong they're practically bug-like, he's still a human and can't fly.

That's why Gil grabbed Izayoi.

At that moment, Jill was thinking about...

"Sure enough, the commotion just now was obviously too big..." Jill said as she slowly descended, closing the Gate of Babylon she had deployed.

"Hahahaha, isn't this hilarious?" Izayoi looked at Gilgamesh. "Was choosing to join you the right decision after all?"

“I’m actually starting to regret it a little…” Jill landed slowly on the ground and said, “You bunch of problem children, not one of you is easy to deal with!”

"That's enough! You two!"

At that moment, a stern voice rang out from the corridor.

A group of people, their skin covered in lizard scales and holding aloft flame-dragon patterns, had gathered around the two.

They are the [hierarchical rulers] of the North District —

The community [Salamandra] rushed to the scene because of the commotion.

Chapter 450 He's nothing but a mere bastard.

Because they didn't want to cause trouble for Black Rabbit, Izayoi and Gil both chose to go with the people of [Salamandra].

Thus, under the escort of the Salamandra military police, Gil and Izayoi were taken to the headquarters of the Fire Dragon Birth Festival.

"Looks like you've made quite a stir," said the White Demon, who was already there, while fanning himself with a fan.

"Yes, I did as you asked and livened up the festival atmosphere." Izayoi said, hands on her hips, looking smug.

"If only that were true..." Jill covered her face.

"Don't talk so smugly! You fool!"

*Smack!* Black Rabbit, who had arrived earlier, pulled out her paper fan and struck hard. Behind them, Ren could be seen clutching his throbbing head.

White Demon desperately pursed her lips, trying to suppress her laughter and maintain a serious demeanor.

After all, the main figure of the birth festival is also present, so White Yaksha shouldn't do anything that would be too unbecoming of his status.

Besides Jill and her group of six, there were two other people here as well.

One was a stern-looking man with keratinous hair and a serious, unsmiling expression.

The other was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl who looked about the same age as Jill now, with her dark red hair tied up on her head and wearing multi-layered, brightly colored clothes.

"let me introduce."

White Demon pointed at the man with her paper fan and said, "Mandela Terdorek, a confidant of the leader of the five-digit community [Salamandra] in the North District, and also the elder brother of the current leader."

After saying that, the White Demon pointed at the young girl again.

"This is the current leader of [Salamandra] - Sandora Terdorek."

“My leader.” Jill looked the girl named Sandra up and down.

Little did Jill know that what was merely an ordinary observation in her eyes would ignite the anger of another person.

"Don't look at Sandra like that, you nobody!" Mandela stepped forward, his longsword slashing down.

The long sword came with a whooshing sound, showing that the opponent had no intention of showing any mercy!

"tread……"

Of all those present, except for Izayoi, no one could see what Gil did.

"...So fast...Thank goodness I didn't think of going into the building to confront him." Izayoi clicked her tongue.

In a short distance, especially such a short distance, Izayoi wouldn't be able to beat Gil under the rules just now.

Jill stepped to the side to avoid Mandela's slash, then dashed to Mandela's shoulder. A longsword popped out from the golden ripples and was caught by Jill.

However, to everyone else, Jill had only moved, and it had only taken about two seconds.
