I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Even when a man is in excruciating pain, he must pretend that he is not in any pain at all...

Jill thought so.

Chapter 168 The Arrival of Destruction! The Holy Sword of Stars!

In the darkness, countless black auras spread.

A stream of black energy separated out and permeated the pale blue crystal.

"That wretched destructive factor—"

The moment that sound rang out, a flash of light appeared.

The black aura vanished instantly, but some of it still seeped into the blue crystal.

"Oh no... that world is—"

……

As agreed, Jill took Little Black back to her residence.

"Is this Jill's house? That's quite unexpected," Xiao Hei said, looking at the ordinary-looking house.

“Ordinary is fine too,” Jill said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Xiao Hei nodded.

“…” Enkidu suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong, Enkidu?" Gil turned around and asked.

“…Gil, come closer.” Enkidu beckoned to Gil.

Jill nodded and leaned closer to listen.

“The Destruction Factor has arrived…” Enkidu’s words made Gil’s face stiffen.

"What's wrong, Brother Gil?" Little Black noticed something was wrong and asked.

"It's okay, go to sleep. You must be tired after all that commotion today," Jill said with a helpless smile, patting Xiao Hei's head to comfort him.

"Hmm... I have a feeling you guys are hiding something from me?" Xiao Hei said.

"Alright, go to sleep now." Jill patted Little Black's head. "Staying up late isn't good for kids."

"Hmm... I'm not a child." Although Xiao Hei said this, he still obediently went to sleep.

Jill had already prepared a room for Black to stay in, and now that Black had gone to sleep, Jill casually took out a hypnotic artifact from the Gate of Babylon and tossed it into a corner as she left Black's room.

The magic emanating from the Noble Phantasm caused Kuro to fall into a deep sleep.

“Let’s go.” Gil’s body radiated light as he used his own Class Card, donning golden armor.

Jill's short, golden hair stood up, which made her slightly unhappy.

He doesn't really like this hairstyle... really.

Gilles took a step, and Vimana appeared at Gilles' feet. Enkidu landed on Vimana with him.

"Which direction is the Destruction Factor in?"

Gil looked at Enkidu.

"Ugh...no good..." Enkidu's body began to emit phosphorescence.

"Enkidu—what happened to you?!" Gil's face turned to astonishment.

“…No, it’s alright, Gil, listen to me, go to the sea. Then, we’ll be able to truly meet again soon—” Enkidu finished speaking, and his entire body vanished completely.

"...Will we really be able to meet soon...?" Jill exhaled. "Then, I'm looking forward to it..."

Jill took the only seat in Vimana.

Then, a golden streak of light pierced the night sky and flew towards the seaside of Fuyuki City...

……

After Jill arrived at the beach, she landed on the ground.

At this moment, the template emitted a piercing alarm.

"Destruction factor detected! Destruction factor detected! Level B, please annihilate it!"

After the annihilation is completed, this world will enter a stagnation and repair phase. During this phase, this world cannot be entered. Once the repair is complete, you can return.

Appeared.

What met Jill's eyes was pitch blackness.

A figure stood there amidst the pitch-black flames.

She wore a large black cloak and a black headdress, and beneath the cloak was black armor.

Her platinum-gold hair shone with an incomparably black light, carrying an aura that was both sacred and evil—an eerie atmosphere that was utterly terrifying.

His dark gold eyes held not a trace of pity or reason.

In her hand—that must be her weapon, a long thing, probably some kind of "flag"—was something else.

She also had a sword at her waist.

“…Unbelievable, so the final opponent was Joan of Arc.” Gilles raised his hand, and golden ripples appeared, revealing countless swords, spears, and halberds.

"..." Joan of Arc in black raised the flag in her hand.

No... he simply raised his hand.

Flames burst forth, and Jill, having anticipated this, quickly leaped into the air.

“Joan of Arc the Avenger?!” Gilles’s voice was filled with astonishment.

"Ah... Ahh ...

"Damn it!" Gilles didn't say much more, and fired twenty-four Noble Phantasms in three waves, directly attacking Jeanne Alter!

"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out as Jeanne Alter easily spun the flagpole, deflecting Gilles' Noble Phantasm.

The treasure landed on the ground to one side, blasting out a huge crater.

"...Is it no use?" Jill gritted her teeth, a serious expression on her face.

"Then let's try this!" The golden light flashed once more, and Jill's attire changed from golden armor to silver armor and a blue cloak, with a sheathed longsword in her hand.

In an instant, Gilles switched to his Class card and charged out with his sword in both hands.

"Clang!" Excalibur struck the banner, sparks flying.

Gilles raised his sword and swung it upwards, simultaneously unleashing his sword dance technique—

"Soul Flash - Ten Lives!"

He immediately unleashed his killing move, Soul Flash Ten Lives, which is the fastest of all of Gil's sword dance techniques. Even using only one sword, it is still incredibly fast!

Ten beams of light flashed instantly, and Jeanne d'Arc Alter was slashed so hard that a large amount of blood was drawn from her body, forcing her to retreat several steps.

Jill isn't some brainless villain who needs to explain his moves; he simply goes for it.

After repelling his opponent, Gil took another step forward, unleashing "Soul Flash - Eight Desolations!"

The air solidified into crystals, then shattered instantly!

Jeanne Alter's entire body was being torn apart by shattered crystals, with countless drops of blood splattering everywhere.

“…Ah…Ah!” Jeanne Alter roared.

"Huff... Huff... It's so hot..." Jill then realized that in just a short while, she had a burn on her arm.

“The flames of magic… truly…” Jill raised her sword again, “This time, I will finish you off completely…”

“Ah…ahhh! This is…the roar of my soul, forged from hatred…! [Roar, my wrath (La Grondement Du Haine)!]” Jeanne Alter roared, uttering these words.

"A Noble Phantasm!" Gilles immediately understood what the other party had done—

The Noble Phantasm, "Roar, My Wrath!" (La Grondement Du Haine), is the cursed banner held by Jeanne d'Arc, who descended as the Dragon Witch.

The resentment in the name of the avenger, his own, and that of those around him is transformed into magic and burned away. The unjust or corrupt, the virtuous or the wicked, are burned away to the very marrow of his bones.

This flame is the Noble Phantasm unleashed by Jeanne Alter!

Jill immediately realized something was wrong.

Therefore, he used his Noble Phantasm—

"Unfurl, heal all wounds, the secluded paradise (A valon)!" Gilles liberated the secluded paradise (A valon), successfully blocking Jeanne d'Arc Alter's Noble Phantasm.

The wounds on Jeanne d'Arc Alter were immediately restored after being covered by the black aura.

She stood up, her dark golden eyes devoid of reason and command, filled only with endless killing intent and a will to destroy.

"...Template, what's going on?" Jill raised Excalibur and said in a serious tone.

"The enemy is a combination of a B-level Destruction Factor and a Class Card..." the template's voice came, "possessing extremely powerful self-repair capabilities."

"You should have said so earlier!" Jill cursed. "And now you're letting us down!"

Jill gripped Excalibur tightly in her hand and exhaled.

"There's no other way, so I'll try out the full-power unleashing technique of this holy sword, although I'm not really keen on using it... it's just too much trouble—"

"The Liberation of the Thirteen Seals - The Round Table Conference Begins (Seal·Thirteen Decision·Start)!"
