I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Vimana's ascent is complete.

“Let’s go—” Gil smiled, his eyes narrowing. “Enkidu, put on your earplugs.”

"Hmm... okay." Enkidu took out earplugs and put them in his ears.

"Activate it—" Jill immediately activated Vimana—

In that instant, Vimana defied the so-called laws of physics and took flight at supersonic speed.

"Eeya ah ah ah ah ah ah ah——"

The girls' screams echoed through the air.

Well... Jill's pranks are really scary.

What's it like to go from 0 to Max speed in just over a second?

That's like the feeling of riding a roller coaster to the top and then plummeting down the next moment.

It felt incredibly comfortable.

……

"Ugh... Ugh..." So after getting the Vimana, the girls were all vomiting.

"That's...that's terrifying." Linslet covered her mouth. "It's practically a violent way of driving..."

“Although… it’s hard for me to agree with you, this time I have to.” Claire nodded vigorously. “It’s terrifying!”

Fiana: "Ugh... I feel like vomiting..."

The Austrian princess vomited again.

"Fiana, cheer up a little..." Lian's face showed relief, "At least Master let us use the windproof spell..."

“God-man…why do you seem…accustomed to it?” Claire asked.

“Because… I was punished in a similar way before…” Lian looked pained. “It’s a little better now.”

“Well… how pitiful…” So the girls cast pitying glances at the god.

"This is the mining city of Gade...it's practically a ghost town," Jill remarked, looking at the scene before her.

“After all, the mine has been abandoned for decades, so no one should live here anymore,” Lian nodded and said.

“From a human perspective, that’s certainly true.” Claire looked towards the mining city—

Will-o'-the-wisps flickered with a bluish-white light all around the ruined buildings.

These will-o'-the-wisps are floating, low-level spirits; evil spirits usually gather in such ruins.

Like an elf forest at night.

At the other end of the ruins stands a massive mountain range with countless abandoned tunnels.

This mountain is called Gad Mine—it was once a major source of elven ore and the largest mine in the empire.

During the great war, the elven ore was exhausted and the mine was abandoned more than twenty years ago.

The strategic-level military spirit sealed away by the old Austrian Knights lies dormant beneath this mine.

Strategic-grade military sprite – Jormungandr.

According to the Norse mythology that Jill read in her previous life, Jormungandr is a giant sea serpent that encircles the world in Norse mythology. He is the second child of Loki, the god of fire, and the giantess Anglebodda. Because his power was too evil, Odin threw him into the bottomless abyss of the human world.

The Jormungandr in this world is also a strategic-level military elf, and its power is beyond doubt—but this is only true in this world.

An earthquake occurred at this time.

“…It’s an earthquake…” Enkidu frowned.

“Let’s get moving… I haven’t taken that bastard’s life yet.” Jill frowned. “Let’s go.”

The group didn't even need to look for anything; they quickly found their destination.

At the end of the main road through the city center is the entrance to the mine, in front of which stands a huge temple.

Inside, several thick stone pillars stand, making it look very impressive.

Even in the Austrian Empire, only in the capital city could one see a temple of such immense size.

However, in front of the temple, the statues were severely damaged, and all the elven ore embedded in the stone pillars had been knocked off and taken away, turning the great temple, which was meant to please the elves, into a pitiful ruin.

“Strange…” It was Fiana, who had been trained by the Elf Princess, who noticed the anomaly.

"What's wrong?" Jill turned around and asked.

“This temple is clearly in ruins, but there are traces of rituals that have been performed underground. And they have been performed several times in the past few months.”

"A ceremony?" Claire asked.

Fiana nodded solemnly to Claire, who was frowning, and then knelt down.

The stone slabs bear scratches and footprints.

"This dance—it seems to have been slightly modified, but it should definitely be a liberation ceremony."

"So, their target really is Jormungandr, right?" Jill nodded knowingly. "Very good, I understand. So, is the seal about to be broken?"

"No, it should be alright. Because this temple is not a high-level [True Temple]."

"True Temple...what is that?" Gil raised an eyebrow.

"This great temple is just a smokescreen to hide the real temple—in important places like mines, they usually build a luxurious temple on the ground to cover their tracks. Although this temple can also be used."

"So, the real temple is hidden somewhere?"

"Yes, it should be hidden deep in the mine."

At that moment, Enkidu, who was standing next to Gil, took his hand.

“There’s someone,” Enkidu conveyed to Gil, “or rather, there’s something strange.”

Jill took out the lamp again, infused it with magic, and made it float in the air.

“Click… click… click…”

Immediately afterwards, a large number of figures appeared, wriggling around.

They were a group of skeletons, holding rusty swords or wooden sticks.

Gas resembling black mist was being emitted from the crevices of the skeleton.

"What the hell... is it an elf?" Linslet frowned.

“These are abandoned remains possessed by low elves,” Gil said. “They’re being controlled and used for unsealing rituals; these are the things.”

Those footprints on the ground were made by these skeletons, traces left by someone who used these elves to perform a ritual to break the seal.

Jill frowned. "Well then, we'll take care of these scumbags..."

Jill raised her hand, and a longsword emerged from the golden ripples.

"Die, you mongrel—" Jill waved her hand, and a golden longsword flew out, heading straight for the skeletons—

Chapter 194 Not even elven magical armor is worthy of my use

The golden longsword shattered the ground, blasting all the possessed corpses there away.

“Let’s go.” Jill walked deeper into the valley without looking back. “That bastard must be here.”

"Wait! Master..."

Jill plunged deep into the mine.

He was already very unhappy...

Enki didn't stop Gil, but turned to the other girls and said, "Let's go to the True Temple. If it's that guy from last time, Gil will take care of him quickly."

“But…” Lian wanted to say something, but she saw Enkidu’s serious eyes.

"Trust him...right...Len Ashbell." Enkidu whispered these words into Ren's ear.

“…I understand. Then let’s go find the True Temple.” Lian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.

“Okay.” So the girls who followed Ren all agreed to Enkidu’s request.

……

Jill ventured deeper into the mine.

It's very close...

Very close...very close...

Gildon stopped in his tracks.

“Dream Summoning—” Gilles took out Jeanne’s class card. His casual clothes turned into black armor, he wore a black headdress, and he held a black dragon’s banner in his hand.

“Just as I thought… In a sufficiently dark and ominous environment, Jeanne’s class card will change from Ruler to A venger…” Gilles waved the black dragon banner in his hand. “Come on… Geo Inzat… I know you’re here.”

"Ah...you bastard...I admit I underestimated you before." Geo Inzat's figure emerged from the darkness.

"What? You want revenge? Even though only a day has passed, your wounds probably haven't healed yet. It's not easy to heal a wound after being attacked by that rapier, is it?" Jill said in a mocking tone.

Geo Inzat's arm was empty, and his face was twisted with rage. "I will kill you today! Corrode him completely, you venomous spirit!"

Suddenly, a purple mist rose up around them—

It was a highly toxic fume that could corrode internal organs; just inhaling a single breath of it could cause the respiratory tract to be corroded...

This fog is not a simple neurotoxin; it may be far more terrifying. But there is no doubt that this purple fog is full of deadly poison!

"Is that all?"

Gil, whose eye had turned gold under the influence of the Class Card, sneered, "Then you're still not enough to threaten me!"

"This is the roar of my soul, forged from hatred... [Roar, my wrath! (La Grondement Du Haine)]!"

Flames burned fiercely as countless black spears rose from the ground and pierced through Geo Inzat's body!

The flames burned continuously, preventing the surrounding toxins from getting even a fraction of a second closer to Jill.

"Too weak." Jill curled her lip. "Even without using my full strength, I could beat you."

"Don't underestimate... people..."
