I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"I see, after all, it's only Rank C. Then let's annihilate it completely—"

Jill swung the Fantasy Greatsword Balumng, and a beam of blue light engulfed Jormungandr's body, instantly annihilating it!

"gyeaaaaaaaaa——" A voice that was hard to distinguish rang out, and a wisp of black mist separated and flew toward the lotus!

"Soul Flash - Triple Combo!"

The Demon Blade Crimson Cherry and the Imitation Spirit Blade Ice Bloom were drawn, and icy blue and crimson flashes streaked across the sky, completely shattering that wisp of destructive energy!

Chapter 196 Perhaps we'll have to part ways temporarily?

At this point, the cave began to collapse.

"Let's go, Lian." Jill grabbed Lian's hand and quickly ran out.

Thus, Gil and his companion successfully escaped the cave before it collapsed.

……

"Phew, we escaped." Jill breathed a sigh of relief. "Not bad, you haven't neglected your running training, you're amazing."

"...Ah...but Master...my arm is about to dislocate."

"Hmm, let me see, is that right..."

The sound of the arm being reattached.

"Ah!" Lian cried out in pain.

After all, anyone who dislocates their shoulder and tries to put it back on themselves will definitely cry.

Enkidu and the remaining girls were still waiting for them; as long as the two of them were safe and sound.

Let those guys handle the rest...

Jill glanced at the ruins behind her and shrugged slightly. "Let's go, God, let's go back."

……

Grevas's office.

As always, Jill kicked it in and then issued this declaration.

“I’m leaving soon.” Jill’s words startled Grevas, who was sitting there, and Alice, who had just arrived.

"You want to leave?"

"Yes, after this mission, our team's score will definitely rise significantly. The rest can be left to the remaining kids to hone their skills on their own."

Jill sat down at the desk. "I have some personal matters to attend to, but don't worry, I'll be back in a month."

“A month?” Grevas frowned. “Those kids are going to be facing a four-on-six battle.”

"So what? With God by their side, they won't lose," Jill said matter-of-factly. "And what about you? What can you possibly do..."

Jill remembered that Alice was still there, so she swallowed the rest of her words.

Grevas gestured for Alice to leave, but Alice appeared reluctant.

Jill could only give Alice a fierce look, which frightened her so much that she immediately retreated.

(Jill: I'm super fierce jpg)

"How much longer can you hold on?" Jill asked directly.

"...I don't know..." Grevas shook her head. "Anyway, you have a way, don't you? Why don't you come and save me this time?"

Grevas's teasing tone made Jill sigh. Golden ripples flashed, and a dagger was stuck into the table in front of Grevas.

Grevas made a contract with a demon spirit that was considered "impossible to contract with," so Grevas implanted a cursed mark to control the demon spirit.

However, the cursed inscription on Grevas's heart had been inscribed for a very long time, causing considerable damage to Grevas's divine energy channels.

Jill had seen through this four years ago and had advised Grevas to give up her contract with the demons, but Grevas ultimately did not agree.

The spell mark is a spirit mark that is artificially attached to the spirit user. In addition to sealing the spirit, it can also produce various effects such as forcibly drawing out the contracted spirit's abilities or adding different attributes.

However, it can cause harm to the recipient.

Ultimately, although the principles are different, they all belong to the same thing: "contract".

So Jill gave Grevas the dagger—the Rule Breaker.

The Rule Breaker, as a weapon, is essentially useless, but it can "break" all the magic of an object pierced by a blade.

The Rule Breaker can break rules based on magical contracts or life forms born from magical power. It can reset them to their state before the magic was used.

“Remember, if you really can’t hold on—” Jill pulled out the dagger, “just stab this into your heart. Don’t worry, evil lives on for a thousand years, you won’t die, you’re very tough.”

"That's hardly a consolation, Gil?"

"Likewise, you old fox."

After saying that, Jill tossed the Rule Breaker onto the table. "Alright, it may be time for a short farewell, witch... Oh, right."

As Jill was about to push open the door to leave, she turned back and said, "Thank you for helping me find my dearest friend. I'll allow you to make a reasonable request."

"Can't you tell?"

“Hmph… Just this once,” Jill said.

"...No... So, have you taught that child everything you've learned in your life?" Grevas asked after a moment's thought.

"Oh? Looks like you and I both had a trick up our sleeves?" Jill looked at Grevas with interest.

"Is that so?" Grevas nodded. "Then... let's teach her the final move together."

"...Hmph, I would have taught you even if you hadn't told me." Jill closed the door and left.

Grevas watched Jill leave, remaining silent for a long time.

……

“I have some personal matters to attend to… so I have to go back and take care of those things,” Jill announced in her dorm room.

"What... Master, what happened to you? Why did you decide to leave so hastily?" Lian asked.

"I guess so," Jill nodded. "After all, I have my own things to take care of over there, and I need to get them sorted out completely."

"Completely resolved?" Claire looked at Jill strangely. "Even you have unresolved grudges?"

“Yes… I do… After all, I have to put an end to what happened there!” Jill nodded and said.

“Then… Master, I wish you all the best.” Lian nodded.

“Of course!” Jill reached out and gave Lian a high five.

"You guys need to keep it up! Don't let me come back and see that you're not in the top three!" Jill wanted to give the girls a high five, but hesitated and decided against it.

“We’ll definitely be number one when you come back!” Claire said.

“Then I’m really looking forward to it,” Jill said with a smile.

……

Gilles led Enkidu to an open space, and after confirming that no one was around, Gilles opened the template.

"Template, begin transfer!" Jill gave this command to the template.

Immediately afterwards, the mechanical sound belonging to the template rang out.

"Yes, begin temporary regression, template transfer begins, template establishes world channel, regression, link start (connection begins)."

—Beep, the template has detected an incomplete world fragment recycling world and is initiating phase transfer. The template is linking with the world, and the worlds are linking with each other. The template's attached existence has begun. Link start…

Chapter 197 Jill: Wait, let me take a drug and transform into…

After the template was transferred, Jill quickly regained her consciousness.

Hmm... are they back already?

Jill was floating in the air, feeling like she was in a dream.

It's probably because four years have passed in that world, but not much time has passed here since I came back, that's why I have this feeling.

As Gilgamesh thought this, he called out his best friend's name, "Enkidu, are you there?"

"I'm here." Enkidu's voice rang out, and the green-haired figure appeared beside Gilles. "You're back?"

“Well, but we’ll have to wait a bit…” Jill said, and a golden ripple appeared above her palm. “Let me find that item.”

"Hmm? What is Jill looking for?"

"Of course, I'd look for a magic pill to reverse aging! After all, just imagine, who could accept looking four years older overnight!"

So Jill took out the medicine bottle. "So I can only hope that I don't shrink to the age of six."

With that, Jill drank the potion, and then her body began to shrink.

Then, Jill's body shrank to about ten years old.

"..." It's shrunk too much, oh well, I'll just have to make do.

"Wow... Jill... you've shrunk so much..."

"..." My dear friend... are you deliberately trying to sabotage me...?

Jill suppressed the urge to complain and breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.

Jill changed out of her oversized Aresia Academy uniform and into a white t-shirt and shorts.

“Let’s go… There shouldn’t be any more destructive factors in this world. We just need to collect the world fragments.” Jill exhaled. “It’s really hot…”

Because it's still summer in this world, the weather is very hot... although it hasn't reached an unbearable level yet.

The temperature at Aresia Academy is normal, which is right in springtime. The sudden increase in temperature is hard for people to adjust to.

"Let's go, it's time to go back, Enkidu." Gil took to the air and flew towards his home, which he hadn't visited in four years.

Jill landed quietly on the balcony, and then he saw a silver-haired girl with slightly dark skin looking at him.

Chloe von Einzbern...

This is the name Xiao Hei gave himself.
