I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Jill's eyes showed a slightly serious expression.

This spirit is incredibly powerful and cannot be controlled by a single person. It requires hundreds of spirit users to perform the ritual, and even then, Kagura could barely suppress it—it is truly an extremely powerful weapon with unparalleled destructive force.

Logically speaking, after the Second Lambar War, the continental nations should have already signed a treaty to seal away these seven strategic-level military spirits—

"So, you're saying the earthquake in that mining city was likely caused by that strategic-level military elf with so many soldiers?" Jill asked.

"It's not certain yet. The witch said it's only a possibility... so we need to investigate. If it really is a strategic-level military spirit, then..."

“I will perform the [Ritual Kagura] to reseal it,” Fiana continued, picking up where Ren left off. “So, I’ll probably need your protection then.”

"I see, a bodyguard mission?" Jill flicked her fingers, and several ceramic cups flew out. "However, we still haven't assembled the team members for the Elf Sword Dance Festival."

Jill took out tea leaves and began to brew tea. "If that's all there is to it, then I agree to take on this task."

Jill poured herself a cup of tea, and also poured one for each of Lian and Fiana, gesturing for them to sit down. "After all, I've done similar things before, or rather, taken on similar commissions, though the form was different."

Although the world of Black Bullet made Jill very unhappy, it must be admitted that Jill's mind and ability to handle things matured a lot in that world.

Well, maybe I should go back and throw a couple of Enki's finishing swords when I get the chance?

As long as you avoid Homra, you should be fine.

Thinking about it this way, I actually kind of want to try it out.

Jill took a sip of tea. "We'll discuss the specifics after Claire returns and gives her her consent."

After saying that, Jill took two more sips of tea. "Alright, if there's nothing else, let's leave it at that."

Lian suddenly spoke up, "Master, you must be having some trouble facing a strategic-level military spirit, right?"

“Not at all, you genius, don’t underestimate your master…” Jill smiled, “Just wait and see.”

P.S.: First update... I'm going to sleep now.

Chapter 190 The Intruders

Time passed quickly. Although Jill didn't do anything after brewing the tea, the pressure he occasionally released made Fiana uneasy.

“There’s no need to be so reserved…” Jill glanced at Fiana, “Don’t be so nervous.”

“Ah…yes.” Fiana nodded.

Jill exuded pressure from time to time. Although she was only slightly older than Jill, facing her felt like facing several of her elders... No, none of her elders had this much pressure...

How can I possibly relax like this!

Fiana was somewhat helpless.

“By the way, Master…” Lian looked at Jill, “that move… Soul Flash - Nine Netherworlds, I can’t learn it…”

“…It’s not that you can’t learn it…” Jill glanced at her left hand, “It’s just that she’s not here, so you can’t do it even if you use the Demon Blade Crimson Cherry Blossom or the Imitation Spirit Blade Ice Bloom, that’s all.”

"Gil, I'm back!" Enkidu, carrying the white-haired loli, pushed open the dormitory door and said in a cheerful voice.

"Slow down a bit, Enkidu, there's no need to rush." ​​Gilles smiled gently, a smile he himself didn't realize.

This scene surprised both Lian and Fiana, who were watching Gil.

“Oh, by the way, Claire said she found a new teammate~” Enkidu said.

“Hmm… let me guess, is it the same one from last time… Miss Linslet?” Jill asked, yawning.

“That’s right.” Claire’s voice came from behind Enkidu.

"So, the team now has five members?" Jill turned around and smiled. "Then... we're just one person short."

……

Time comes to night.

Jill and Enkidu are tidying up some things.

Jill snapped her fingers, and the chess piece on the board in front of her moved to the next position.

Enkidu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Gil, what kind of being is Aresia?"

"...What's wrong? Is she important to you?" Jill asked, her tone slightly calmer.

“Well… after all, she’s the person who has helped me the most since I came into this world…” Enkidu hugged Gil, “She taught me about emotions.”

"So... here's the question, where did we first meet?" Jill asked, her eyes darting around.

“It must be in a world full of monsters,” Enkidu replied.

Full of monsters... it seems to refer to a world of pitch-black bullets.

“Back then, you said I hadn’t awakened yet… what did you mean?” Jill asked.

“Literally... Gilles couldn’t use Soul Flash so freely back then, right?” Enkidu said, holding Gilles and resting his chin on Gilles’ shoulder.

“Hmm…” Jill nodded. “That’s true.”

“However, Gilles seems to be a little too concerned about some girls… Kushina Anna, and that Illyasviel von Einzbern…” Enkidu’s expression showed slight displeasure, “I’ll be unhappy too…”

“…Heh…They’re not as important as you.” Gil chuckled, smoothing Enkidu’s hair as if stroking it.

Just then, a sound came from outside the window.

Jill paused for a moment.

That was a sound that normal people could hardly hear—the sound of metal clashing.

Having fought countless battles, Jill knew exactly what that sound meant.

That was the sound of swords clashing, the sound of battle.

“Gil… there’s a fight,” Enkidu said, having also heard the voice.

“Ah, I know, let’s go take a look,” Jill said, opening the window.

“Let’s go.” Gil jumped out, and Enkidu followed Gil’s steps.

……

"What's going on—?"

Alice, who appeared gracefully amidst the raging winds stirred up by the wind spirits, was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

Before me lay an unbelievable sight.

The knights of the Wind King Knights, who were maintaining order on campus, fell to the ground one by one.

Those who could join the Wind King Knights were all outstanding students. But now, they were all laid on the ground—

"Could it be... that the intruder defeated everyone single-handedly!?"

In the misty darkness of the drizzling rain—

A small figure wearing a hooded jacket was standing among the fallen girls.

"Did you do this?!" Alice demanded.

She had already raised the elven magic weapon—the [Windwing Spear]—in her hand.

Thirty minutes ago, Alice received a report that someone had broken into the campus and stolen confidential documents from the library.

She immediately ordered the knight squads to pursue them, and while relaying the next steps to each squad through the wind spirits, she rushed to the scene.

When she arrived at the location where there was no response, this was the scene she saw.

The elf before them remained silent, radiating an aura of disdain.

"You won't talk? Fine, I'll force you to tell me!"

Alice's [Windwing Spear] began to stir up gusts of wind.

The elf in front of him had no contracted elves beside him, nor did he have any elf magic equipment in his hands.

However, this person has already defeated five of the knights' girls.

The opponent's identity remains completely unknown. Or, since there are no spirits present, does that mean this person isn't a spirit user?

Impossible... No one but that person has ever successfully accomplished such an incredible feat. The other person must be an elf!

Alice raised the Windwing Spear and launched an attack like a storm.

At this moment, the opponent finally reacted. A muffled sound came from under the hat—

"Fang Wolf Spirit, show yourself!"

Instantly, a totem formed by light appeared on the ground, and a ferocious wolf spirit was summoned.

"Is this your spirit? However, it is no match for my Wind Spirit!"

As Alice ran forward, she raised her spear and swung it to the side.

A powerful gust of wind was released from the spear, sweeping down trees along the roadside and hurtling towards the Fang Wolf Elf.

Alice herself leaped into the storm she had created, accelerating forward—ignoring the Fang Wolf spirits blocking her way, she launched a direct attack on the spirit user.

Alice pushed off forcefully, launching herself downwards in mid-air.

This is Alice's signature aerial descent attack. During training matches, she used this move to defeat countless older opponents.

With the contracted spirit blocked, the spirit user, now completely unprepared, raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Then, the man extended his palm toward Alice.

"Thunder Spirit, appear!"

The elf's hand instantly unleashed a burst of bluish-white lightning, hurtling straight towards Alice.

Completely unprepared for this attack, Alice had no way to dodge in mid-air and was directly hit by the lightning, which blasted her into the air.

Immediately afterward, the Fang Wolf Spirit attacked again. It pounced on Alice, who had fallen to the ground, and aimed at her throat, ready to bite—

At that moment, countless chains rose up—

"Heh, are you bullying someone?" the blond figure chuckled, his crimson snake eyes gleaming with coldness. "Unfortunately, I also enjoy bullying people..."

Chapter 191 He's nothing but a pathetic worm

"Who are you?" the boy's voice rang out.
