I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"Just be careful," Jill said, taking a sip of tea.

"Yes." Lian nodded.

“I’m going to the library too. As expected, I’ll be there all day…” Jill picked up a pen from the table. “I’ll go find that fire cat girl. If I need anything, I can find her at the library.”

"Master, then you should also be careful." After saying this, Lian left.

“…Gil…that child…” Enkidu asked.

“He’s kind of my apprentice.” Jill picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, “A very smart and talented kid.”

“…A cute boy?” Enkidu asked.

“No…she’s a girl.” Gil rubbed his forehead. “Enkidu, where did you learn all these weird things?”

"Secret~"

"Well, never mind... Ugh—! You bastard..."

Jill collapsed onto the table.

"Jill? Hmm... he's been called away again."

……

"What the hell! They haven't contacted me for three months, what's the meaning of suddenly pulling me into this now!" Gil looked at the Wise King with some frustration.

"Alright, shut up and listen to me." The Wise King stared at Gil. "Your apprentice was tainted with a small amount of destructive energy, but thankfully you cured him in time..."

"This time, the level of the destructive factor is beyond what the current Ea sword can handle."

"There are seals on the Sword of Ea, you can feel them, right?" The Wise King looked at Gil. "There are seven seals on the Sword of Ea. With your current strength and magic power, you'll be lucky if you can withstand three of them being unsealed. However, if only three are unsealed, you can continue to attack for two to three minutes without any problem."

“What do you mean?” Jill asked.

"It means exactly what it says... The Noble Phantasm you gave that little girl last time was already a B-rank. Although it was only a one-time use Noble Phantasm, couldn't you tell? The Noble Phantasm was completely shattered. Normally, that Noble Phantasm should be able to be used again after being charged." The Wise King frowned. "Now, even that toy can't be repaired."

"Is that so... Stop talking nonsense, tell me the level of the Destruction Factor, and also, how did the Destruction Factor invade?" Jill frowned.

"...What? You've grown quite a bit, yet you're still so impetuous? Calm down." The wise king then picked up the stone slab. "Come and take a look."

"..." So Gil walked to the wise king's side and saw a dark, blurry thing on the stone slab.

“This time, it’s the Destruction Factor from Rank A.” The Wise King’s words made Gil frown. “Since you already know, I’ll just stop hiding it. The Elf Kings of this world have all been corrupted by the Destruction Factor.”

Elf King—

It governs all the elements that make up the world and is the supreme being overseeing all elves.

They are not merely incredibly powerful elves—to put it more bluntly, they *are* this world.

The warrior wielding a burning sword—Volcanics, the Fire Elemental King.

A gentle-looking boy—Bellfahle, the Wind Spirit King.

The giant wielding a massive iron hammer—Rod Gear, the Earth Elf King.

The woman holding a water bottle to her chest—Iseria Seaward, the Water Spirit Queen.

The old man holding scales and a staff—Alexandros, the Holy Elf King.

"What a joke... That kind of thing should be from this world, something like Gaia and Alaya... Why would even such a being be corrupted by the Destruction Factor?"

Jill frowned. To be honest, he knew the opponent was the Destruction Factor, but he hadn't expected it to be so troublesome this time.

"Don't worry, there's one thing you should be thankful for: although these beings are being corrupted, they are doing their best to resist the corruption," the wise king said. "Their time is running out, but at least you must win this Elf Sword Dance Festival."

“Ah, I see.” Jill clicked her tongue. “So, this time, I’m guessing…”

“By the way, I remember you have a few other Class cards, right?” the Wise King said.

“There are also two Hercules and King Knight cards, plus Jeanne and those two, making a total of three, which makes five Class cards,” Gilles said.

“Very well, then I’ll give you a little hint: that saintess’s class card doesn’t have only one form.” After saying that, the Wise King stood up. “Alright, hurry up and get out of here.”

"You kicked me again—!"

Chapter 180 Library

"Hmph, I didn't kick you, I stomped on you." After hearing Gil's words, the wise king just laughed and said.

……

"Ugh!" Jill snapped back to reality.

“Gil, you’re back!” Enkidu said.

"Tsk...annoying guy." Gil rubbed his head. "Now there's a question, Enkidu, what state are you in right now?"

“Hmm… I’m probably influenced by the world’s rules, so I’m currently in a state of contract with Gil.” Enkidu thought for a moment and said.

Each world has a different power system, and corresponding to that power system are the world's rules.

Each world has different rules, but also similarities. Jill is able to use the Gate of Babylon freely in different power systems because of the features that come with the world template.

That is the adaptive global power system.

While the template's personality is hard to criticize, its functionality is pitifully limited, and its price is outrageous, even potentially costing you world currency (see Chapter 54), however...

Jill instantly had the urge to dismantle the template again.

"Host, your thoughts are dangerous."

"Die."

"Come on, host, don't be because of..."

"clang!"

In an instant, the template's light screen was sent flying by Jill's swinging baton.

Enkidu was somewhat bewildered.

“Enkidu, don’t mind what that was, it was really annoying.” Gil turned around. “Let’s go, we should go to the library.”

“There are some things I need to verify.” Jill picked up a ballpoint pen. “Let’s go.”

"I know~"

……

Jill arrived at the library, and although she heard all sorts of strange noises along the way, she paid no attention to them.

such as……

"Is that the legendary male spirit master?"

"His eyes look so fierce. Like he's going to kill someone."

"He looks a bit like a delinquent, but he's actually quite handsome."

"Don't be fooled by appearances. All men are incredibly perverted."

Jill felt so tired.

Suddenly, for a moment, Jill felt that her apprentice was both gentle and sensible.

"Jill, you seem more tired than when you were called a tyrant?" So his best friend added insult to injury once again.

...Are you my best friend?

Gilgamesh really wanted to ask that, but he knew it was just Enkidu's cunning.

I'm not angry, really, not angry at all!

“Ah, Gil, your anger is about to flare up,” Enkidu said.

"No, that's an illusion."

Jill headed into the interior of the library, where he could find what he truly needed to look.

Well... in short, the forbidden elven magic and knowledge are stored there. Jill needs to learn some magic.

He wanted to put some pressure on himself and see what he could achieve by forbidding himself from using the Gate of Babylon and relying solely on swordsmanship and elven magic.

In any case, over the past three years, he has not only focused on physical exercise but also learned other skills.

He also has some knowledge of swordsmanship.

after all……

I'm going to become Gilgamesh, the Saber!

Well, don't worry. It's just a little bit of knowledge. Gil can also do things like swordsmanship that reach the level of magic.

At this moment, there were also some girls studying outside the library, which made Jill feel helpless.

After all, the Elf Academy of Aresia uses a credit system for its courses, and students can freely choose the courses they like as long as they meet the necessary conditions.

After all, each student's spirit abilities are very different, and a uniform curriculum would inevitably make it difficult for the priestess to give full play to her talents.

It's normal that some spirit users didn't study at this time.

However, since much of what is kept inside is forbidden, Jill would have had to go through a lot of trouble to get in without Grevas's permission.

Well, at most it will only cause a little sensation.

While the Gate of Babylon is incredibly powerful in launching Noble Phantasms, it doesn't mean there aren't any rivals in this world who can match Gilgamesh.

If you really want Jill to say one—

That was Grevas at her peak, absolutely capable of going toe-to-toe with Jill.

Despite her youthful appearance, Grevas is actually quite old... cough, let's stop here.

Although Grevas appears to be a beautiful woman, she was once the chief of the Twelve Knights of the Empire, a battle-hardened elven knight who was active in the Second Rambar War.

At the same time, Grevas was also the winner of the Elf Sword Dance Festival twenty-four years ago. At that time, she made a wish to the Elf King to stay young forever, which made her body able to rejuvenate within a certain period of time. Because her appearance will not age no matter how many years pass, there are rumors that she has long exceeded the age of being the highest-ranking Elf Master.

In Jill's mind, Grevas in her current state is already comparable to him when using only sword dance techniques, so Grevas at her peak could definitely cause Jill a lot of trouble.

However, this is based on the premise that Gilles only uses [Noble Phantasm Shot] without unleashing his Noble Phantasm.

Gilles' true trump card is still the Noble Phantasm that can be unleashed in the Gate of Babylon.

In the Gate of Babylon, the number of Noble Phantasms has exceeded Gilles' imagination.
