I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

“...Hmph, indeed, I disdain to deceive anyone, but...I am only here to reclaim my treasures.” Gilgamesh stared at Illya.

Hercules shielded Illya and roared.

"Noisy!"

With that sound, a golden Noble Phantasm slammed into Hercules.

However, Hercules' Noble Phantasm, God Hand, is immune to all Noble Phantasms below Rank B. This Noble Phantasm was deflected to the side, leaving no mark on Hercules.

“So that’s how it is…” Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes. “Interesting.”

……

"Whoosh!" Gil hurriedly rushed towards Eindzbern Castle.

Damn, damn, damn!

I was careless!

That awful bastard!

damn it!

Jill flew swiftly, and soon he saw the castle.

"Great, I hope it's in time..."

"Gae Bolg!" The voice suddenly rang out.

Jill's pupils contracted as red spears rained down from the sky towards her!

However, a golden halo appeared around Jill, blocking all the red spears!

"Damn it! Lancer!" Jill looked angrily at the ground.

The blue-haired youth on the ground also saw Jill.

“Assassin’s Master, I’m sorry, but I have to stop you here,” Cú Chulainn grinned. “I hope you can give me some fun.”

“Enjoy NNDP!” Jill cursed. “Die! Gungnir, Cú Chulainn, the hound that pierces through Cú Chulainn!”

He was extremely anxious because he saw that Ilya was already fighting Gilgamesh.

Having possessed the Gate of Babylon, she naturally understood how powerful Gilgamesh was.

Moreover, although he was reluctant to admit it, his opponent was far more skilled than him in using the Gate of Babylon!

So, in order to finish the battle quickly, he even took out the Gungnir, announced his opponent, and threw his spear.

The spear pierced Cú Chulainn's chest with perfect accuracy, and then Jill quickly moved away.

He didn't really want to finish off Cú Chulainn; the opponent had the Combat Continuation ability, so he figured he wouldn't die.

But compared to finishing off the opponent, Jill now prefers to help Ilya.

Ilya... please hold on!

As Jill thought this, the flight speed increased again.

……

"This is the eleventh time. He can no longer be resurrected, Heracles!" When Gilgamesh fought Heracles, he directly used his highest-level A-rank Noble Phantasm. With Heracles wholeheartedly protecting his master, Gilgamesh completely killed Heracles eleven times.

"Then die!" At this moment, Gilgamesh raised his hand high, and countless chains shot out, wrapping around Heracles.

Hercules tried his best to dodge, but there were too many chains, and he was locked up.

"How could this be? Come back, Berserker!" Illya tried to use a Command Spell to help Hercules escape.

However, the chains Gilgamesh used to bind Heracles were the Chains of Heaven (Enkidu).

“How could this be…” Illya looked at Hercules, who was still tightly bound by the Chains of Heaven (Enkidu), and an undisguised wavering appeared in her eyes.

“Of course, this is the Chains of Heaven (Enkidu). The higher the divinity of the one bound, the stronger the chains.” Gilgamesh chuckled. “Well then, the job of looking after the child is done, Heracles!”

A massive, spiked spear appeared in the ripples and flew straight toward Hercules!

"Clang!" But then the sound of metal clashing rang out.

The golden shield blocked the long spear.

"...I never expected this. Although I know you have a terrible personality, how could the King of Heroes stoop so low as to bully a child!" Gil emerged from the shadows.

The direction in which he raised his hand was still rippling with golden light.

"Little brother... wait?! Eh—?!" Illya finally realized that there were two Gilgameshes.

"It's alright, Ilya." Gil approached Ilya and gently stroked her face. "I told you, I would protect you, right? You have to believe me..."

“Big brother…” Ilya threw herself into Gil’s arms. “Thank goodness… thank goodness, you didn’t betray me!”

“Fool… How could you betray your friends?” Jill looked at the other side. “Even that utterly scumbag chuunibyou on the other side wouldn’t do that.”

"Hmph, and you? Little brat?"

"A humanoid self-propelled idiot."

"Little brat."

"Mentally disabled people of advanced age are simply beyond help."

"Little brat."

"An incurable, middle-aged person with delusions of grandeur who urgently needs treatment at a mental hospital."

“…” Gilgamesh’s face darkened.

Compared to Gilgamesh, who traveled back from China more than a decade later and learned countless sophisticated insults, Gilgamesh was still too young.

“…You bastard…” Gilgamesh looked at Gil with icy eyes.

The smell of gunpowder grew stronger.

Battle—imminent!

Chapter 73 The Battle Ended (Bonus Chapter 8/24)

"Dang-dang-dang-dang-"

As this sound rang out, Heracles, who was bound by Gilgamesh, exerted a sudden force and actually broke free of the Enkidu!

“Incredible… I must say, as expected of Hercules.” Gilles looked at Hercules, who had stepped in front of the two of them. “Ilya, make him step back.”

"Ah... handsome brother, you..."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Gil patted Ilya's head and told him to go back.

"Alright, come back, Berserker!" So Ilya sent Berserker back.

"Then it's our turn now." Gil turned around and looked at Gilgamesh with a grin.

"Hmph, last time the battle was interrupted by some idiot, this time let's fight to our hearts' content." Gilgamesh raised his hand, drew his battle axe, and said.

“Well… but speaking of which, isn’t this a bit unfair…” Gil said casually, while gesturing for Ilya to step back.

"Let Berserker protect you, otherwise some villains might suddenly attack you." Gilles also gave Illya a Noble Phantasm.

"What's wrong? Do you think I would launch a sneak attack?" Gilgamesh frowned unhappily.

“No, that’s not it. After all, we both know that neither of us is the type to resort to underhanded tactics. It’s just to keep an eye on that certain pleasure-seeking priest and that certain blue-haired big dog,” Jill said, pursing her lips.

"Hmph, though it's not pleasant, it's rare that you spoke the truth." Gilgamesh raised his chin. "Then let's begin."

"Alright, let's begin then."

Golden light shimmered as Jill gripped the crimson-gold longsword in her hand.

"Bang!" Gilgamesh and Gilgamesh charged at each other at the same time.

"Clang!" The sound of metal colliding rang out.

Gilgamesh and Gilgamesh were fiercely suppressing each other.

"Drink!" Gil swung his longsword horizontally, his hands going numb from the impact.

"Tsk...you're quite strong." Jill said, feeling the numbness in her hands.

"Hmph, but it hasn't grown up yet, it still has room to grow!" Gilgamesh charged at Gil with his battle axe in hand.

Jill tossed aside her longsword, and then a flash of light appeared in the space, and twin blades fell into her hands.

“Then let’s go!” Jill gripped her twin swords and charged forward.

……

At this moment, two figures were quietly watching this scene.

"Such exquisite swordsmanship... Even though it's from a different school, that swordsmanship is truly admirable," the blonde, blue-eyed girl said, watching Jill wield her twin swords.

Gilgamesh wielded his twin swords, using one sword to parry Gilgamesh's attacks while repeatedly aiming the other sword at Gilgamesh's vitals!

Golden light frequently appeared around Gilgamesh, indicating that some defensive Noble Phantasms were being automatically triggered.

"Clang!" This time, Gilgamesh slashed the sword out of Gilgamesh's hand!

"Unfortunately, it ends here!" Gilgamesh brought his axe down heavily—

Jill grinned.

"!"

"You've fallen for my trap... Enkidu!" The chains, shimmering with golden light, lunged at Gilgamesh like venomous snakes. Gilgamesh was startled, a look of astonishment crossing his face.

"Yay! Operation a great success!" Jill rushed out.

"Don't underestimate me!" The same Enkidu flew out and became entangled with Jill's Enkidu.

"Too bad I won!" Gilles chuckled, then reversed the blade of his longsword, slashing upwards towards Gilgamesh's throat!

"Damn it!" Gilgamesh roared—

clang!

The blue spearman with a large hole in his chest forcefully deflected the blow for Gilgamesh, shouting, "Gae Bolg!"
