I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Kevin could figure out what that look meant even with a fool's eye.

He's now just praying that Jill doesn't go too far, otherwise he won't be able to help clean up the mess...

"Accept your punishment, Sylvia."

Those watching the scene all turned ashen-faced.

Veronia drew the broadsword that was hanging at her waist.

Even though it looks like a giant sword that must be held with both hands, Veronica easily lifted it with one hand, and before she could react, a flash of silver light appeared before her eyes.

The blade swung downwards, producing a piercing, whistling sound.

The broadsword, which had absorbed countless lives in the past, gleamed with a terrifying light as it slashed towards Sylvia.

The next moment, Sylvia's chest was horribly cut open—

Chapter 118 Let's Have a Fight

"your Highness!"

Upon seeing Veronica's actions, Ash screamed in horror.

"Lord Sylvia!"

"Lady Veronica has lost her mind!"

"How could such an absurd thing happen!"

"Doctor! Call a doctor quickly!"

The welcoming party members also began to groan in distress.

The only three who remained completely calm throughout the entire ordeal were Rebecca, Cosette, and Angela, without uttering a single shout.

Of course, Kevin, who stood aside without looking, and Jill, who sat on the tree branch, also remained calm.

Sylvia, who had been stabbed in the chest, staggered and finally collapsed to the ground.

Incredibly, she didn't bleed at all.

Then, the uniform fabric suddenly shattered into scattered fragments, drifting down lightly—as if the garment had suddenly remembered the fact that it had been slashed.

"what……?"

Sylvia paused for a moment, turning her head in confusion.

Veronica's slash only tore the clothes covering Sylvia's upper body, and Sylvia's upper body clothing was almost completely torn to shreds as a result.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Sylvia, her face flushed, screamed at the top of her lungs and covered her body with her hands.

"your Highness!"

Ash could no longer contain himself and rushed forward. He quickly took off his coat and draped it over Sylvia's shoulders.

Veronica glanced coldly at Ash's actions before sheathing her broadsword.

"What's wrong, Sylvia? If you encountered the same situation on the battlefield, would you just scream and try to cover your shame?"

Sylvia couldn't refute it, letting tears well up in her eyes.

"See? This is your true nature. Even with the aura of a dragon knight, you're nothing but a spineless brat. You're better suited to pursuing so-called womanly happiness!"

"...What do you mean by that?"

Veronica's scathing rebuke of Sylvia infuriated Ash.

The anger that had been suppressed for so long was finally on the verge of exploding.

Even if the other party is the First Princess, they can no longer sit idly by.

"Hello, hello... Ash?"

Seeing Ash stride forward aggressively, Max quickly and quietly stopped him from behind.

But Ash, already enraged, ignored Max's words.

Ash confronted Veronica directly, his tone sharp and harsh: "I don't know how amazing the First Princess is... but you weren't even there, so what gives you the right to spout such nonsense!"

The moment the words left his mouth, a sharp sword was pressed against Ash's neck.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Jill's eyes.

It's interesting that they dare to directly confront enemies stronger than themselves.

"Ugh...!"

Ash was caught off guard. The one who thrust out the knight's sword was none other than the Holy Dragon Knight, who was suspected to be the captain of the royal guard.

The man had a handsome face; calling him a good-looking man wouldn't be inaccurate. However, the eyes hidden beneath his armor were cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Ha, it's time for me to make my move."

Jill took a step forward, and her figure disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, the sword on Ash's neck suddenly broke in two, as if it had been subjected to a strong impact.

"Courage is a good thing, but without matching strength, that courage can only be called recklessness."

Jill stood between the man and Ash, and although she didn't exude any aura, the man involuntarily took a step back.

"Look, like this, what if my target just now wasn't your sword, but you yourself, or Veronica behind you?"

Jill had a slight smile on his face, but the man facing him didn't see a trace of a smile in his eyes.

The cold gaze was more terrifying than Veronica's. If Veronica's gaze was a dagger, then this student's gaze was a sharp, heavy sword.

"Ash, take Sylvia and retreat," Gil said.

"Ge Lian, step back. The other party is just a student," Veronica ordered.

"Ha, a mere student?" Jill chuckled. "That's true, after all, I am indeed a student right now."

"Would you mind having a fight with a mere [student] like me, Your Highness Veronica?"

Jill's eyes held a cold glint, and his remarks caused a great uproar among the welcoming party.

Jill ignored what the guys behind her were saying and instead gave Veronica a provocative look. "So, do you dare or not?"

Veronica looked at Jill and suddenly chuckled, "Interesting."

"So, would you prefer a challenge or a duel?" Veronica asked, raising her greatsword and pointing it at Jill.

“Your Highness Veronica, I will take care of him—” Ge Lian seemed to want to wash away his previous humiliation and spoke up immediately.

“I should be the one saying that.” Jill ignored Gren and instead raised an eyebrow at Veronica. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m stronger than you. You should be the one initiating the challenge or choosing the duel.”

At this moment, a soldier ran up behind Ge Lian and whispered a few words in Ge Lian's ear, which made Ge Lian's gaze towards Jill turn serious.

“Your Highness Veronica—this young man is also a Holy Dragon Knight,” Gerlian reported to Veronica. “A little over a month ago, this young man suddenly appeared near the Abion Forest and single-handedly defeated four dragon knights riding holy dragons with his bare hands…”

The moment those words were spoken, everyone looked at Jill with a hint of astonishment.

Four dragon knights!?

Or is he a dragon knight riding a holy dragon?!

“…Hmm…Looks like he’s been recognized.” Jill glanced at Kevin.

Kevin nodded to him, then shook his head.

"Hmph, then Veronica, I ask you, are you challenging me, or—"

Jill unleashed a powerful aura that forced Veronica to take two steps back!

"A duel on equal terms with me? If you choose the latter—" Gilles' eyes gleamed, "you can't blame me if you die."

This terrifying aura made everyone's blood run cold...

Veronica narrowed her eyes. "Then... I'll try to challenge you."

Veronica once repelled a winged lizard with just her sword!

The Winged Lizard is a ferocious, large lizard. It's considered a close relative of the dragon race, and in terms of fighting power alone, some weaker dragons might not be its match!

Veronica is not a Holy Dragon Knight capable of equipping the Holy Knight Armor, nor even a Dragon Breeder, yet she was able to do this, which shows how powerful she is among normal people.

But the person before me—

He easily defeated four dragon knights riding holy dragons single-handedly.

The Holy Dragon is not a weak dragon race that can be defeated by a winged lizard, especially with the help of a dragon knight...

The person before me is, without a doubt, a terrifyingly powerful individual!

Chapter 119 One Move

The welcoming process also became chaotic due to Jill's sudden intervention.

Rebecca calmly gave instructions from the rear, stabilizing the situation.

Veronica drew the greatsword she had used for many years.

Jill, on the other hand, stood there empty-handed.

The more flaws she appeared to have, the more serious Veronica's expression became.

Kevin didn't say anything about this, which means that even Teacher Kevin is no match for this person...?

Indeed, Kevin really couldn't do anything about Jill.

The difference in strength between the two is still evident.

If it were before Jill's "Shakugan no Shana", Kevin might have been able to beat Jill, but that's impossible now.

Unless Kevin uses the "Conceptualization" gift bestowed by the world, it will be useless even if he uses the Stand "The World's" ability.

The reason is simple—the defenses cannot be broken.

Kevin, who once possessed and used the Gate of Babylon, naturally knew how difficult it was to deal with the defensive treasures within the Gate of Babylon.

Unless you unleash the Heavenly Judgment at its highest frequency on those Noble Phantasms, few other weapons can break through his Noble Phantasm defenses.
