I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

It's not just about the aura.

Magic, physical strength, mental power, divine might, the power of existence...

Gil's own power continued to expand under the amplification of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets.

"If the power isn't enough, then just multiply it to a sufficient level. Esther is definitely capable of withstanding this power, right?"

"I am my brother's sword, and everything is as my brother wished," Esther's voice rang out.

Yes, if Arecia can't free the Dragon King from the curse of the Earth Elf King, it doesn't mean Gil can't.

Jill's favorite thing to do is say NO to those guys who think they can't do anything anymore!

A powerful surge of energy instantly converged into the blade in front of Jill. "Transfer!"

"That is...!" The Dragon King looked at the sword blade in Gil's hand with a surprised expression.

"Hoo—" Jill slowly exhaled, then looked towards the large tree in front of her—

He swung the longsword in his hand.

As if tearing through space, Gil's sword passed over the Dragon King and directly severed the great tree that symbolized the curse of the Earth Elf King!

The tree, like ice and snow meeting a raging fire, slowly transformed into countless particles of light that scattered and flew away.

The Dragon King, who was bound by the tree, also fell down, but was caught steadily by Enkidu.

"Hahahaha, as expected, there's nothing I can't do when I get serious!" Gil laughed heartily, then looked at the Dragon King. "However, I never do business at a loss, so as an equal exchange, I'll ask you for some information as the price for breaking the seal."

"I need information about all the spirit kings except for the water spirit king."

Gil spoke directly, saying, "As an elf who participated in that war, you couldn't possibly be unaware of this level of information."

Although Enkidu had some suspicions about Gilles' actions, he could only shrug helplessly when he actually heard Gilles state his request for the exchange.

"...Sure? But I don't have much information, so my help to you may be extremely limited, you know?" The Dragon King replied to Gil with a smile.

"...No, never mind."

After a moment of silence, Gil suddenly spoke up, "I need to know something about the Dark Elf King—I hope you can answer my questions."

He still knows too little about the world.

Even though he could run rampant in this world, he still knew too little about the affairs between the Elf Kings.

If we had the necessary information, we might be able to deduce more of the truth.

For example, what exactly is the source of darkness in this other world?

For example, the truth about "Solomon the Demon King".

Or perhaps—

"What is the Dark Elf King's true purpose? What is the purpose of constantly choosing a successor?"

Jill's eyes narrowed into an extremely dangerous arc.

Clearly, if the other party's answer touches a nerve, then Jill will definitely explode without hesitation.

"Isn't it obvious?"

The Dragon King replied, "So that I won't disappear completely."

That's a fairly reasonable explanation... but there are still a few things that don't make sense.

"So what's this about [Solomon, the Demon King]?" Jill asked, frowning.

[Demon King Solomon], a male elf who brought calamity to this continent.

The spirit master who inherited the power of the Dark Spirit King, Ren Ashdoy, brought war and calamity, turning countless lands into scorched earth of war...

Although Jill had once thought that this might be the reason why the Demon King Solomon could not withstand the power of the Dark Elf King, after all, even though he was dead, the Dark Elf King could still be considered a part of the world's will.

To withstand the power of the Elf King in a human body is extremely difficult; collapse is not out of the question.

After all, when the "God-Slaying Flame" Levadin signed the contract with Rubia, Rubia even branded countless curse marks on her body to barely maintain the contract with Levadin.

Even so, Levadin still wanted to take Rubia's life. If Jill hadn't been there, Rubia would probably have died.

The power of the Dark Elf King, which is even stronger than the "Flame of Godslaying," is obviously not so easy to accept.

As for why Lian could accept it, Gil didn't want to know; after all, if he wanted to know, he could just ask Lian directly.

Moreover, although Lian inherited the power of "Darkness", she did not fully master this power, which may be the reason why she was not corrupted by "Darkness".

"As for Solomon, I don't know much..." The Dragon King shook his head, leaving Enkidu's embrace, and a black robe resembling a formal suit appeared on his body. "However, I can offer a clue. If you want to know the specifics, you can ask the Demon King's contracted spirit."

Chapter Sixty-Three: Clues, Analysis, and Directions—

"Are you kidding me?" Gil frowned. "A full thousand years have passed since the Demon King War. Even if I were to look for them now, it would be difficult to find the spirits that made a pact with the Demon King back then, right? Besides, there were a total of seventy-two spirits who made a pact with the Demon King. Are you going to find them one by one and ask them?"

The Dragon King smiled, narrowing his eyes. "No, not at all. But I believe you didn't come here just for these things, did you? Like, perhaps to let me meet the Demon King's successor?"

Jill frowned. "Meeting her is fine, but I suggest you don't think you can use her for anything..."

Gil's eyes flashed with a chilling light. "Otherwise, I will use an even more terrifying power to destroy the entire Dragon Kingdom."

"If your information network is fairly good..."

Gil turned his head. "Why don't we investigate what happened in the capital of Audisia? I believe the truth is always surprising, isn't it? Of course, it wouldn't be a problem to tell her a little about the Dark Elf King. Although I'm protective of my own, I'm not the kind of person who spoils brats to an excessive degree."

“However, shouldn’t you already know who it is?” Gil said, looking at the Dragon King.

"Who knows?" The Dragon King narrowed his eyes, his smile quite cunning.

"...Hmph, as long as Lian doesn't get seriously hurt, I'll let you have your way." Gil shrugged. "However, I must tell you first, the Holy Kingdom has already captured at least one Elf King. The other Elf Kings may still be asleep, or they may have already..."

"...So, you're taking refuge this time?" the Dragon King asked in a questioning tone.

“Those Elf Kings aren’t at their peak yet. Even if they want me to take refuge, they should at least have all of them at their best,” Gil shrugged. “Besides, I might not even lose.”

Indeed, among the five great spirit kings, the strongest is probably the Holy Spirit King. At his peak, Gil's strength was estimated to be only around four figures, roughly the same as Izayoi's. Moreover, Izayoi possesses the power of "Broken Gift," an ability that is practically the nemesis of the "mysterious" spirit king.

When attacks are ineffective, having to deal with that foul-breaking physical ability is a nightmare.

It's safe to say that the Elf King is no match for Izayoi.

But when it comes to Jill, Jill naturally has ways to deal with them as well.

"Understood. So, will you be staying in this city for a while?" the Dragon King asked.

"Don't worry, I will stay here, that won't change. However, if necessary, we will first evacuate to the Holy Kingdom and consolidate our forces there. I have a feeling about it."

Jill rubbed her temples. "War is about to begin."

"Although everything seems peaceful, there's an undercurrent of unrest constantly surging and churning..."

There is someone who is in control of all this, and he/she/it definitely has some purpose.

Gil's words made the Dragon King frown slightly.

"The Holy Kingdom of Lugia, the Holy Elf King Alexander..."

What exactly are you planning?

What is your purpose?

Feeling a little anxious, Jill bit her lip, lifted her foot, and walked towards the door.

This time, he did not stop.

……

"Hoo..." Lying on the bed in the room arranged by the servants at the Dragon King's behest, Gil covered his eyes with the back of his hand.

This is the first time I've encountered something beyond my control, and I'm feeling a little anxious.

but……

“Hey…that’s interesting.” Jill smiled.

He took out paper and pen from the Gate of Babylon and began to record and deduce.

First is the "Holy Elf King" and the "Holy Kingdom of Lugia".

The Holy Kingdom of Lugia worships the "Holy Spirit King," just as the Audisian Empire worships the "Fire Spirit King." Presumably, the words of the "Holy Spirit King" are like divine pronouncements.

Then came the "Demon King" and the "Dark Elf King".

Although the Demon King is the inheritor of the Dark Elf King's power, it's hard to imagine that his power has gone to such an extreme. There seems to be some hidden story behind it. However, without the ability of the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star to observe the future, Gil will not know this for the time being. It seems that he really has to go and ask the Demon King's contracted spirit, just like the Dragon King said.

Next came the "covenant" and the "saint".

Gil remembered that Rubia once said that if the "Demon King" was the inheritor of the power of the Dark Elf King, then the Saintess was the vessel of the power created by the five great Elf Kings at the same time.

It was created to fight against the existence of the "Demon King".

When Vokanik was fighting Gill, he mentioned the word "covenant" several times.

And Jill noticed this word.

What is that "covenant"? Why can such a small "covenant" motivate the Fire Elemental King to fight for them?

Then comes the most crucial part—

"Purpose",

Yes, what exactly is the Holy Elf King's purpose?

Everything and every clue points to this point.

"So there are still too many doubts..." Jill said softly, gently tapping her fingers on the notebook.

However, it doesn't matter.

"Whatever the purpose, it's useless if I disrupt any part of the so-called 'plan'."

Jill narrowed her eyes, a ruthless glint in them. "If you didn't take my words to heart, then don't blame me for being merciless."

At that moment, the template suddenly floated to Jill's front.

The blue screen emitted a "sizzling" sound effect, then suddenly lit up, revealing a human face.

Hmm, blond hair, purple eyes, a rather familiar face...

His eyes seemed to hold barely concealed anger and an almost explosive emotion.
