I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"...Suddenly I'm kind of looking forward to this trip..." Jill chuckled softly, then, as if remembering something, "I should go find Lian, and also find Chenxi and the others to say a proper goodbye..."

Gil pushed open the door and saw Enkidu, who was about to knock, looking rather grim.

"What's wrong?" Jill asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course it's because some problem children caused trouble!" Enkidu shoved the letter in his hand into Jill's hand.

Jill took the letter with some confusion and then opened it.

He scanned the letters in his hand from top to bottom and from left to right, his expression becoming quite interesting.

The letter contained the following content...

"Your community members have been taken hostage by us. If you want to rescue them, come here!"

They even thoughtfully included a map.

Jill's eyes twitched violently.

Speaking of which, after the final battle, it seems that Asuka took a treasure called the Immortal Binding Rope from him.

It was a Noble Phantasm that could render a bound person unable to use any of their abilities. Asuka said that this Noble Phantasm was quite suitable for her, and Gilles gave it away without much thought at the time...

Now, let's put it this way...

Jill just wants to go back in time and slap her past self across the face. What a load of rubbish! You think you can just give me anything?!

However, words spoken cannot be taken back, and Jill admitted her mistakes.

Gilles took a deep breath and then recalled the Noble Phantasm he had given away.

One is "The Divine Punishment of the Wild Boar," a Noble Phantasm of the Greek hunter Atalanta.

Hmm... it's that pigskin that guy was wearing... Speaking of that gift, according to the "Catalogue of Life," the gift is definitely different from what I imagined, or from what I first saw!

"Right, I remember Black Rabbit once said that their gifts are all top-tier human gifts... Does that mean that the Life Index is at least on the same level as Izayoi's [True Identity Unknown] gift...?"

Jill began to think about how to break through the opponent's defense and rescue the person.

“Let me check… Could it be that everyone except us has been taken away?” Gil looked at Enkidu.

"It seems so..." Enkidu's expression was strange. "They seemed to have tried to kidnap me last night as well?"

Jill's face immediately darkened.

Enkidu must have sensed something was wrong when someone approached, which is why he didn't fall victim to those problem children.

Jill sighed deeply. "Let's go see what these problem kids are up to."

……

No name? No, it's the abandoned base of Arcadia, where the flag has been reclaimed.

The dried-up road surface has cracked, and there are many places that look like they're about to sink. If it continues to be left unattended, the entire area might crack and sink.

This place, where sand and dust fly in the wind, is no longer a habitable land.

“I have a feeling that Chenxi also played a part…” Jill used spatial jump to arrive here, looked around and clicked her tongue, then said, “The vampire castle is very far from here. You can’t do this without spatial abilities.”

Enkidu had already concealed his presence and hidden himself to observe the situation.

If a fight breaks out by accident, then let Enkidu rescue all the guys who are tied up.

"wrong!"

Three teenagers were standing there, and the boy in the lead spoke up, "This is just a gift I asked Senior Chenxi for yesterday..."

These three were none other than Izayoi Sakamaki, Yo Kasukabe, and Asuka Kudo.

Meanwhile, Izayoi Sakamaki wore a smug expression, saying, "Because I passed Chenxi's trial yesterday, that was a gift to me!"

At that moment, a roar also rang out.

"Nonsense! You brat!" Chen Xi was tightly bound by Jill's Immortal Binding Rope. "You guys were definitely prepared to trap me last night! If this rope didn't have the merit bonus, how could it possibly restrain me!"

Although she has a temper that's easily triggered, Chenxi's mind is never dulled by anger; on the contrary, she immediately understands the reason behind things.

"And you! Last night you schemed to take this teleportation scroll from me! Just for this!" Chen Xi struggled against the ropes binding her. "And who would have thought that a member of my own community would turn against me!"

It is clear that being ambushed by Izayoi was a significant blow to Chenxi, a man known as a "wise man".

"Calm down, Chenxi. I'll give them a good talking-to later." Keitel, who was also tied up, smiled "gently." "I'll give them a good lecture."

Of course, that gentleness was only on the surface; the actual smile looked incredibly sinister.

Combined with his gloomy demeanor, Jill was certain that dragging him in front of the children would absolutely terrify them...

"I'm sorry, Master, I didn't expect them to do this..." Leticia said, looking utterly helpless.

Ren also looked helpless, with a tearful expression on his face.

Ren also showed a rather indignant expression, because this rope actually completely blocked the use of the spirit contract! Otherwise, with Restia's power, she might have been able to break free from this rope.

However, this "Binding Immortal Lock" is a treasure that even immortals cannot break free from. It also has a very tough texture. At least Gil believes that unless it is the Blazing Spiral Sword Dance, Lian cannot break this rope.

Then, Jill's gaze shifted and she saw a rope tied up on the ground...

The black rabbit was hopping around and around, its whole body tied up like a caterpillar.

Jill's lips twitched. "I have a question."

"Oh? Ask away, as a lady, I'll certainly answer your questions," said Kudo Asuka, brushing her long hair aside.

"Why treat the black rabbit differently?" Jill asked, pointing to the black rabbit that was tied up like a caterpillar.

Then, the three problem children exclaimed in unison, "Because it's so much fun!"

Jill: "..."

Enkidu, who was observing from the shadows: "..."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: I won't hold back!

An indescribable atmosphere was permeating the air.

The atmosphere was, to put it bluntly, somewhat comical; to put it bluntly, there was something about it that was hard to explain and difficult for others to accept. It was simply very subtle.

Jill covered her face. "Forget it, I'm really toxic for arguing with you guys about this..."

Black Rabbit, on the other hand, seemed to have been struck a heavy blow, unable to get up again, and lay on the ground silently shedding tears.

"Then let's continue," Jill said, ignoring the black rabbit. "What's the point of all this fuss?"

"Of course, it's to make the hero who defeated the Demon King of Absolute Evil suffer a bit," Izayoi said with a smirk. "I'm really not happy about being taken advantage of twice!"

"Same here, after all, we suffered a great loss at the Fire Dragon Birth Festival!" Kudo Asuka nodded vigorously and said.

"...?" Kasukabe Yō thought for a moment, and finally said, "Same as above."

"..." What is this "same as above"? I don't think I've ever bullied you, have I? You were the ones who started this big trouble at the Fire Dragon Birth Festival, weren't you? Wasn't it Leticia who captured you?

Jill felt like she just couldn't stop complaining about these problem kids...

"Alright, alright, since we're going to fight, let's make it clear beforehand that I won't hold back." Jill covered her face, trying to bring her wild thoughts back to the surface, and said, "After all, that would be a huge loss."

"We weren't planning on holding back either," Izayoi said, a smirk playing on her lips.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled thud came from the ground.

The atmosphere was torn apart by something, and an attack that streaked across the sky like a meteor came straight at Jill!

Gil was already enveloped in magic, and with the enhanced magic and magic release, he instantly unleashed a speed even faster than that meteor-like attack!

More than that.

"Boost!" A red light had appeared around Gil, and he instantly used the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets to amplify his power.

At the same time, a pair of pure white and azure wings of light slashed open behind him, the wings flapping and sending Jill into the sky, dodging the swift charge.

"Hey! You're so vigilant!" Izayoi laughed heartily, showing no sign of frustration despite having his first attack dodged.

"Tsk, launching an attack without warning, that's really your style. But the air is my domain!"

"Hey, have you forgotten? The one challenging you isn't [me], it's..."

Jill's pupils contracted as that aura suddenly appeared beside him.

"It's us!" Kasukabe Yo suddenly appeared to Gil's right, delivering a powerful kick to Gil!

Jill immediately activated Omniscient and Omnipotent Star, then spun around to avoid Kasukabe Yo's back, while simultaneously diving in the opposite direction.

Standing in that direction is Kudo Asuka.

"Dean!"

The young lady raised the Gift Card and released the metal doll made of the divine iron she had obtained at the Fire Dragon Birth Festival.

"Deeeeeeeen!" The metal giant roared, his right hand suddenly stretched out and slammed towards Jill!

"Come on, give it a try, the magic needle iron puppet!"

Instead of retreating, Jill advanced, and her entire body instantly transformed into something else.

The white armor instantly covered Jill's entire body. The streamlined armor and the beautiful white color made it almost impossible to look away.

"Balance breaker!" Gil used the Balance breaker from the White Dragon Emperor's Wings of Light, and his body instantly expanded with a silvery light.

That was a power of the White Dragon Emperor's wings that Jill had never used before—

The White Dragon Emperor's Half Dimension has the ability to halve the size of targets within a certain range!

As a result, everything enveloped by this light instantly shrank by half in size.

Besides Izayoi Sakamaki, even the metal doll Dean, as well as Asuka Kudo and Yo Kasukabe, were shrunk.

"What...!" Kudo Asuka exclaimed in surprise.

"Then let's start by eliminating one of them!" Gil's figure appeared behind Kuon Asuka. The Enkidu instantly shot out from the golden ripples, binding Kuon Asuka and throwing her next to the people who were bound by the Immortal Binding Rope.

"Tsk...the plan has been exposed..." Izayoi clicked her tongue. "Kasukabe, Plan B!"

“If you’re talking about a plan, then it’s impossible to hide it from me.” Jill turned her head, golden ripples spreading around her. “The Catalogue of Life, the Radiance, and the Unknown, or rather, the simulated cosmology that represents a certain possibility for humanity, are all the highest gifts bestowed upon mankind.”

“Since this is a gift representing the potential of humanity, I don’t deny that you absolutely have the potential to defeat me, or even Az Dakkaha.” Jill pointed to his eyes. “Unfortunately, in front of these eyes of mine, it’s best not to use overly simplistic plans, or rather, not to let me use the [Omniscient and Omnipotent Star] to have any chance of winning.”

"Don't be so arrogant, little guy. Don't forget that those Noble Phantasms you're so proud of can't be used against me." Izayoi smiled.
