I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

During the reign of the previous emperor, a priestess died in this room while practicing her rituals, and the place was abandoned for a long time.

It could be said that this is the most suitable place to imprison spirit tamers or priestesses.

Four or five days ago, when Fiana was brought here, she had very little food and water, so it was quite incredible that the girl in front of her was still conscious.

And what sustained her was only one belief.

"I can't die yet... I want to see her one more time..."

She bit down hard on her chapped lips.

After dipping her finger in the seeping blood, she carefully traced it on the floor.

"—There are two more layers of sealing techniques overlapping the fourteenth sealing technique."

Fiana closed her eyes, analyzed the structure of the magic square engraved on the floor, and carefully copied it one by one with the blood from her fingertips.

She kept repeating this meticulous task—a task that would send one's consciousness soaring to the heavens.

On the dried blood, a layer of intricate hand-drawn patterns was drawn, which, after a long time, finally formed an extremely meticulous magic array.

Of course, not every priestess can imitate the method of covering a magic circle with blood. Only Fiana, with her thorough understanding of barriers and exceptional talent, could achieve this masterful technique.

She has lost a lot of blood; it's incredible that she can even maintain consciousness.

This also reveals her inner conviction...

Chapter Forty-Six: The Beginning of the Great Riot

"Tap...tap..."

The moon was obscured by clouds tonight.

Such darkness is perfect for infiltration operations.

Although the soldiers at the border between the noble and commoner districts did not let their guard down, they still could not stop such an opponent.

Two figures scaled the city wall one after the other and slipped into the noble district.

Actually, there are elven magic spells on this city wall, but...

"Good, very well. You're quite proficient at using these eyes now." Gil looked at Kusanagi with some surprise.

“Of course, after all, those eyes have ended the lives of countless dead.” Kusanagi sheathed his short sword. “So, my lord, what is the next target?”

Kusanagi destroyed, or rather killed, the spirit magic's spell in a rather natural way, allowing them to break through the walls without any hindrance or triggering an alarm.

“Need I say more?” Gil raised the corners of his mouth. “Of course it’s the Nifiscal Palace.”

That place was the royal palace of the Austrian Empire—

"Make trouble, make trouble, of course it's better to make big trouble."

Jill smirked coldly. "Let's go."

"Yes."

……

And it wasn't just this side; this city wall was breached twice today.

"As expected, Master and the others would take this approach..." Lian looked at the map. "Alice, this marked place..."

"...It's at the [Isolated World Palace]...That place is usually used to imprison priestesses. Actually, it was originally a training ground, but it was abandoned after an accident. I only heard my grandfather mention it once..." Alice leaned closer to look at the map and said.

“Then let’s go there.” Lian rolled up the map, put it in her bosom, and said to Alice in a low voice.

"Yes, but be careful, the elven knights there are not easy to deal with..."

Lian and Alice sneaked together toward the place where Fiana was being held.

……

In the dark room, Fiana continuously used the blood layering spell, and this time-consuming and mentally taxing task finally yielded results.

Several hours have passed since I started drawing the magic square, almost the time when the guards will come to patrol the room. If they are seen doing so, all my efforts so far will be in vain.

Anxiety arises spontaneously, but if one does not act cautiously, everything will come to naught.

"—I…thrice…swear…through a blood pact—"

Bloodstained lips murmured their final prayer.

Because of thirst, hunger, and extreme mental exhaustion, the girl's prayers were somewhat intermittent, but they did not stop.

"...Liberate me from my bonds!"

Finally, Fiana finished the last stroke of the magic square.

The blood-red square drawn on the floor emitted a blue-white light.

——Succeeded.

The Palace of Isolation and the Realm of Elemental Spirits were originally separated by a magic array, but she completed the magic-breaking array that destroyed it.

...In this way...we can establish contact with the elemental spirit realm.

Fiana sighed with relief and sat down against the wall.

She closed her eyes and focused her mind slightly—and immediately felt her body connected to the elemental spirit realm, and divine power flowed throughout her body.

"Just...rest a little longer..." the girl closed her eyes. "Wait for me...Ren, and..."

……

Underground ruins.

Enkidu yawned, but his eyes were still scanning his surroundings.

Claire and Linslet remained in a state of readiness, and the surrounding magic arrays did not activate so quickly.

“…Gil, be careful…” Enkidu reached out and gently pressed his hand against his chest.

That's where the mark that she and Gil made that [elf contract] was placed.

The two can share perceptions to a great extent.

If Jill is willing, the two can share what they see with each other.

And Gil wouldn't object to Enkidu voluntarily sharing his vision with him.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this ability that Enkidu was so unhappy when he learned that Gil was facing Azdaha alone in the Little Garden.

Because Gilles refused Enkidu's vision sharing and teleportation support at that time, otherwise Enkidu could have quickly rushed over to help.

Everything Jill is seeing now is passing by in a flash.

That proves that Jill is running at top speed, right?

"An Elf King-level combat power..." Enkidu pondered, "This time... who will it be?"

……

"Ha, we've arrived... Kusanagi, let's begin!" Gil saw the Nifiscal Palace, then chuckled softly and said.

"it is good!"

Kusanagi, holding the hilt of his sword with one hand, jumped out, attracting the attention of the elven knights.

Kusanagi noticed something...

“Your Majesty, their attire is different from the Austrian elven knights we encountered before…and…”

The boy's eyes changed from brown to an icy blue that carried a sense of death.

"Their power is a bit strange! I sense something within them that I can't see—the presence of death!"

Gilles raised an eyebrow. "You just need to keep their attention. After I unleash my Noble Phantasm, you find a chance to slip away and rejoin Enkidu and the others."

"Understood!" Kusanagi replied in a low voice.

"who?!"

"Take him!"

The elven knights naturally noticed Kusanagi's deliberate reveal and immediately surrounded him.

"Ha, come on, give it a try!" Kusanagi gripped the hilt of Mikazuki Munechika's sword, and then, a chilling moonlight flashed out in an instant—

"Soul Flash - Full Moon!"

The large circular slash struck each of the surrounding elven knights with unerring accuracy. Kusanagi did not deliberately aim at the death line to slash, because that would have killed those elven knights instantly.

Although he was causing trouble, Kusanagi Gakuen, being kind-hearted by nature, did not want to kill anyone.

After all, he had no grudges against these people, and causing trouble was still causing trouble. Murder and causing trouble are not the same thing.

“…Very good, Yin has captured their attention, so I can begin here now.”

Jill raised her hand, and golden ripples flashed instantly. A longsword shimmering with golden light was ejected and grasped in Jill's hand.

"Wake up..." Jill whispered, calling to the holy sword in her hand.

Countless golden rays of light wrapped around the longsword.

"Because causing trouble is not a righteous act, the Star Sword cannot be used... so I have no choice but to use this sword..."

Jill raised the longsword in her hand, "This sword is the embodiment of the sun, a flame that burns away all impurity!"

The blazing holy sword, symbolizing the sun's flames, shimmered with magical light.

"Let it all burn here..."

Gilles raised his holy sword and swung it fiercely towards the Nephiscal Palace ahead, unleashing the true name of his Noble Phantasm—

"The Sword of Victory (Excalibur caradin)!"

Chapter Forty-Seven: The Elf King and the Hero King

The blazing flames instantly engulfed the Nefiscal Palace, and at the same time, several figures flew out of the palace, unleashing countless rays of light that bombarded the Excalibur Caradin.

However, Excalibur Caradin is a holy sword that is on par with Excalibur, so how could it be blocked so easily?

Moreover, this Excalibur Caradin is even more powerful than the holy sword wielded by the Sun Knight Gawain. Because it obtained its spiritual essence in the Little Garden, the burning power of this strike is something that those elf users and elf knights simply cannot withstand.
