Moe Girl Guardians

“I’ve never heard of a teacher being exclusively one person,” Enkidu said firmly. In the teachings Wu Feng imparted to her, there was indeed no mention of a teacher belonging to only one person.

The two of them turned to look at Wu Feng at the same time. Four sharp gazes fell on him, waiting for his answer, which made Wu Feng secretly wipe away a cold sweat. He didn't understand why this situation was happening, but as a shut-in, he was very familiar with this kind of love triangle atmosphere.

Why am I, an innocent person, being dragged into this?! Wu Feng lamented inwardly. He was just sitting here doing nothing...

“Gil, this child is called Enkidu. He is a divinely created doll who, by chance, gained a soul. He studied with me for a few days and came here specifically to find you.” His godlike intuition kicked the question back to Gil.

Enki looked at Wu Feng with some disbelief. She had never told him that she was a clay figure, and had always said that she was sent down by the gods. She did not expect that he already knew her background.

"Created by the gods?" Upon hearing Wu Feng's words, Jill immediately showed a look of disgust. The things he hated most in the world were the gods, followed by the people related to them.

"What brings that guy over there to Uruk?" The girl, Sparkle, barely managed to refrain from calling Wu Feng a scoundrel. She asked Enkidu instead.

“God sent me to arrest you, or to make you believe in them again.” Without the slightest hesitation, Enkidu stated God’s main purpose in sending her here.

"Haha. Catch me! Fine! Come on, let's go outside and see who can defeat whom." Enkidu's answer made Gil laugh with disdain. He turned around and was about to go outside to fight Enkidu. Enkidu also seemed to be getting up to complete the task that God had given him.

…Their behavior left Wu Feng speechless. "Damn it!" he thought. "Can't they even speak properly? They're ready to fight outside after just a few words." "Fine, let them fight," Wu Feng thought. "These two were destined to clash anyway." With a flick of his wrist, the long-absent recluse left the Moon Tower.

Following the two as they floated out, Wu Feng discovered they had finally stopped in the Moon Tower area, causing his face to twitch slightly. To be honest, it was indeed a nice place—a wide open space with few people around—but after these two finished fighting, he'd still have to clean up their mess…

Gilles had reverted to his male identity, which seemed very strange to Enkidu, who looked at him in astonishment, wondering how the other person had suddenly become a different person.

"Come on, you piece of trash, let me show you what it means to overestimate yourself." After leaving the Moon Tower, Gilgamesh immediately became casual and confidently said to Enkidu.

Enkidu's eyelids twitched slightly. Without saying anything, she moved her feet and instantly approached Gil. Her arm transformed into a long spear, and with a slight movement, it tore through space and stabbed at Gil. As a clay figure, every part of her body was a weapon.

The two appeared to be of similar strength. Although Jill was surprised, she still dodged to the side. Just as she was about to retaliate, the person in front of her changed again. A dark shadow swiftly swept past her, leaving a wound on her arm.

Upon returning to its original position, Enkidu had transformed into a magical black panther in Gil's eyes, moving much faster than Gil himself.

"The ability to shapeshift, huh? What an annoying ability," Gilles said dismissively, staring at Enkidu, but he was already on high alert. At this speed, the Chains of Heaven couldn't possibly catch him.

"By the way, Gil, here's a suggestion: it's best not to use the Chains of Heaven. They shouldn't be effective against Enkidu," Wu Feng said, hovering near the two of them.

Enkidu is a puppet created by the gods, essentially a clay figure, capable of splitting itself. Regardless of whether the Chains of Heaven are effective or not, they cannot bind her. Moreover, the true origin of the Chains of Heaven in history is Enkidu. Although it is unclear why Gil possessed them beforehand, they must have been ineffective.

Wu Feng's words made Jill's expression even more solemn. If the Lock of Heaven was ineffective, they might really be doomed this time.

In Wu Feng's view, the battle that followed was basically over. Enkidu kept changing into swords, spears, beasts, and shields to defend or attack, making it very difficult for Gil to keep up. Every time he became familiar with a new ability, he would immediately switch to the next one. Although he could barely cope, the wounds on his body were increasing.

During this time, Gilles didn't believe in the supernatural and found an opportunity to activate the Chains of Heaven, but it was instantly destroyed after binding Enkidu. It is certain that she has no divinity.

Fortunately, he was in male form at the moment... otherwise, Wu Feng couldn't guarantee he wouldn't have gone out to stop them...

Wu Feng also wanted to teach Jill a lesson in defeat, but she underestimated Jill's stubbornness. The battle continued, and Jill was covered in wounds, but her eyes remained sharp, showing no sign of giving up. (To be continued)

P.S.: I heard we'll be working overtime this afternoon, but I'm not entirely sure. If we don't have to work overtime, I'll update as usual; if we do, I'll see how things go and maybe delay it. (orz)

Chapter 215 It's so hot here...

Her vision was already blurred, and the figure of the guy who had been fighting her for the teacher was also becoming indistinct. Gilgamesh felt extremely unwilling. She couldn't lose. She was the daughter of Lugal and the disciple of her teacher. How could she lose to a puppet of a god? How could she ever get revenge if she did that!

Forcing herself to stay strong, Jill stood up again. She wouldn't lose like this...

"Give up. You still have room to grow. You're no match for me now." Even Enki couldn't stand Gil's current state. She had already given up on the idea of ​​taking Gil back immediately, simply wanting to teach him a lesson, but she hadn't expected him to be so stubborn.

Enkidu's neutral voice reached Gilles' ears with unusual clarity. Was he showing her pity? She was the Queen of Uruk and would not allow anyone's pity!

“I won’t lose, come on, let’s continue,” Jill’s voice was low, and just standing up took a lot of effort from her.

Enkidu remained silent. She didn't understand why Jill was so insistent, but she felt that she should now do everything in her power to express her respect for him.

Within the Moon Tower area, magical power continuously surged from the earth, converging on Enkidu's body. Compared to the magical power of ordinary mages, the power surrounding her was far more refined, and her form changed once again, not just partially transforming into weapons, but she herself becoming a weapon.

Enkidu is both a divinely created puppet and a divinely created weapon. She was created to correct Gilgamesh's questioning of his failure to complete the Wedge task. In other words, she herself is a divinely created weapon born from the concept of "returning the Wedge to the gods," piercing through the enemy.

When she transforms into a form that pierces through enemies, that is when she is at her strongest. This is her strongest state besides transforming into the God-made Spear. But the God-made Spear is completely different from her other forms; it's no longer considered part of her own power. If it were to unleash its power with the help of the planet, a significant portion of Uruk would likely be destroyed—this is not the outcome Enkidu desired.

The magic power gathered around the spear increased and it shot out towards Gil. The resulting airflow caused a hurricane to rise in the Moon Tower area. If other buildings had not been prohibited in the area, it would have caused considerable damage.

Seeing the spear coming at him, Jill struggled to move. Severely injured, she could barely move, let alone dodge. Resigned to her fate, she remained still, waiting for the spear to arrive.

The spear was about to reach Jill when a blurry figure appeared in her eyes, and a familiar voice reached her ears.

"Silly apprentice, can't you see Xiao En is holding back? You still have potential to grow, there's no need to push yourself so hard..." Along with the voice came a hand ruffling her golden hair. "However, this kind of perseverance is still worth encouraging."

A faint flow of energy entered Jill's body, slightly easing the pain from her injuries and allowing her to barely see her surroundings. However, her recently eased pain almost returned due to her emotions, and she forced a smile, saying, "Teacher, it would have been better if you had come out sooner..."

If it weren't for her injuries preventing her from making too many movements, Jill would have been so surprised that she couldn't stand up straight. The attack that she saw as incredibly powerful, which even at its peak she had little chance of dodging, was being blocked by Wu Feng with one hand. The endless magic and hurricane were completely separated from him, with him as the dividing line.

This was Wu Feng's first time making a move in recent years. He thought it would take some effort, but it was easier than he expected. With his full strength, he was able to block it. In places where Jill couldn't see, the faint blue veins on Wu Feng's arms were barely visible. They didn't have the ugliness of a man's exposed veins; instead, they had a strange beauty, like lines.

In two years, most of the enhancements from his soul form have merged with his physical form, resulting in a significant increase in power. His divine power trait is also present. Beside Wu Feng's feet lies the [Purple Moon Funeral Song], which allows him to activate [Melee Invincibility] within a certain range, further boosting his power. While perhaps still slightly weaker than Youxiang's, it's sufficient to handle any situation.

With a loosening of her grip, the spear automatically retreated, its hard texture softening and turning back into mud. Enkidu, who had transformed back into human form, looked at Wu Feng's hand that had blocked her attack with a surprised expression.

Her skin was fair and soft, showing no signs of strength, yet it blocked her full-force attack, indicating that the power it contained was probably superhuman.

“Little Enkidu, you’re so stubborn. Why did you join in your nonsense? If that fight had really happened, you might have gone to find Lugal.” After releasing Enkidu, Wu Feng also gave her a slightly stern lecture.

“…I’m sorry.” Enkidu apologized to Wu Feng after a long while of surprised stares. Perhaps, as the girl said, with him here, even if a god descended, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Forcibly removing the ring he had given to Jill, reverting her to her girlish form, Wu Feng scooped her up and carried her back into the Moon Tower. Without treatment, she'd probably bleed to death...

In Wu Feng's princess carry, Jill buried her face, not letting Wu Feng see that her pretty face was already as red as a ripe apple. She felt unusually at ease, nuzzled her little head, and gradually fell asleep in this state of peace.

On the other side, after Wu Feng brought Gil back to the Moon Tower, Enkidu was still standing there in a daze, thinking about what had just happened, wondering if he had made a mistake again.

Although it possesses a soul and emotions, these are not yet fully developed, and many of its behaviors puzzle her. Jill's behavior made her strangely use all her strength, and now that she thinks about it, just like what the teacher said, she should have stopped.

When Gil reverted to a young girl and Wu Feng carried her in his arms, Enkidu felt a strange heat rising in his heart, and his mind instantly flooded with memories of Wu Feng.

The first time I met him, our conversation, learning about him from the girl, and the way he held that gun with one hand at the end...

“Don’t worry, that guy isn’t angry,” Yoru and Shingetsu said to Enkidu as he walked in from two different directions outside the area while Enkidu was in a daze.

The commotion caused by Enkidu and Gil was immediately noticed by Shingetsu Yotsuki. At Wu Feng's instruction, she immediately went to the edge of the Moon Tower area to prevent the aftershocks of the battle from spreading outwards and to prevent anyone from entering.

In fact, if the two of them hadn't arrived in time, the members of the [Holy Grail] and [Stigmata] nearby would have been unable to resist entering the battlefield and letting them witness that scene. Who knows what kind of news would have spread...

Of course, they also devoted some of their energy to the battlefield. When they returned and saw that Enkidu looked like a child who had made a mistake, Shingetsu couldn't help but comfort him.

"What's wrong with Enkidu?" After Shenyue comforted her, Enkidu still didn't react, so she asked again out of concern.

"...It's so hot here." After a moment of silence, Enkidu looked up, a blank expression on his face, and clutched his chest as he spoke to Shingetsu, hoping for an answer.

"That bastard Youfeng..." Enkidu's reaction made Shingetsu cover his face in exasperation; he already knew the reason... (To be continued...)

Chapter 216 Gender...A Difficult Question

"...I'm not entirely sure either. Once Xiao En is more emotionally mature, she'll understand why." Not knowing how to give a direct answer, Shen Yue could only try to gloss over the situation and let Xiao En figure it out herself later.

Enkidu nodded slightly and followed Shingetsu and Yotsuki back into the Moon Tower to wait for Gil's emergency treatment to finish.

……

"I admit defeat this time, but I'll definitely come back for revenge next time." These were the clear, resentful words Gilles spoke to Enkidu after the treatment ended.

"...But public and private matters should be kept separate. I acknowledge you as my disciple, so don't embarrass me in public." After a moment of hesitation, Jill continued, her initial reluctance subsiding.

"No, it won't happen," Enkidu nodded and said unconsciously.

"You're the only one who'll embarrass me, you stupid Gil," Wu Feng's voice came from behind Gil. Along with the voice, a fist slammed into Gil's head and kept drilling and drilling.

"Ooh!" Jill, whose injuries had not yet healed, immediately let out a mournful cry. She crouched on the ground, holding her head in her hands, her eyes brimming with tears. Every movement aggravated her wounds.

"Where am I stupid..." she protested, still dissatisfied.

"You've been stupid from the start. Xiao En had already given up on taking you back, and didn't even use 80% of his strength. He kept holding back, otherwise he would have been defeated long ago. You little idiot, you didn't even realize it..." Thinking about it, Wu Feng became a little angry again. The difference in strength was completely overwhelming, yet he still didn't notice. He moved his hand and threw another punch.

"Ooh!" Jill's mournful cry rang out again.

"If there were still a chance of winning, that would be one thing, but with the Chains of Heaven failing, you have no trump cards left. What are you persisting for when defeat is inevitable? It's not a life-or-death duel, so why be so stubborn? If I hadn't intervened, you would truly be finished."

"...If I lose, the teacher won't be mine alone anymore..." Jill squatted on the ground, covering her head with her hands, and muttered softly.

"what?"

There's nothing there.

"...It was also my mistake. Over the years, I've only trained the Celestials a bit, and their ability to adapt to changing situations in battle is not as good as Gavin's and the others. It seems I should find some time to train them properly..." Wu Feng thought about it and realized that it was also his mistake. He hadn't given Gil much real combat experience, and the few times he had were against magical beasts, so this result was normal.

It seems that Gilles' close combat ability is also mediocre in the Holy Grail War. He relies entirely on his unlimited Noble Phantasms to overwhelm his opponents, showing a tendency to be easily defeated with a single brick, no matter how skilled he is.

His few close-quarters combat encounters were even more gruesome; the once-mighty hero had his arm chopped off by a mere sorcerer named Coyote in a melee. When Wu Feng watched it, he found it utterly unbelievable—the protagonist's plot armor wasn't used like that at all…

In just seven days, he went from a mediocre, hopeless magician to a mage with a Reality Marble capable of utterly overwhelming Heroic Spirits… Did he think the Holy Grail was the Dragon Balls?! Although its functions are somewhat similar…

While Wu Feng was disciplining Gil, Enkidu had been watching Gil curiously, observing a certain change. Finally, he asked Wu Feng, "Teacher, why is Gil...?"

"Who gave you permission to call me Gil! You should call me King... Ugh!" Enkidu's address made Gil unhappy again, and as soon as he got up, Wu Feng punched him on the head again.

“Xiao En is not an outsider, so you can call him that. What question does Xiao En want to ask?” Wu Feng asked Enkidu, stroking Jill’s golden hair.

"Why has Gil changed again? He was in a different form outside, but suddenly he's back to his current form. Is there some kind of bonus?" Ignoring Gil's dissatisfaction, Enkidu asked in confusion. She noticed that Gil would change into another form whenever she left the Moon Tower, but there was no real change.

“In this era, men are more likely to be respected, while women as kings are more likely to attract negative comments. To avoid trouble, Gil usually appears as a man when he is out in public, but returns to his original form here,” Wu Feng said casually. Anyway, Gil had already seen Enkidu in his female form when he first met her, so it didn’t make much difference whether he said it or not.

"Male? Female?" Enkidu repeated in a low voice, somewhat not understanding the meaning.

Neither the concepts instilled by the gods nor the knowledge imparted by Wu Feng touched upon the issue of male and female gender. After all, even someone who knows nothing should have some understanding of such matters. The gods believed that this content was completely useless for completing the mission.

The fact that both of them forgot the premise left Enki in a very strange state. Although he found many people who were different from him along the way, he didn't think about them carefully because they were not important. He still doesn't understand what men and women are.

"What is that?" Adhering to the principle of asking questions when in doubt, Enki, who was also confused, directly asked Wu Feng.

"Uh..." Wu Feng froze. Another one who doesn't understand gender distinctions... His first disciple, Gil, was like this, and now Enkidu, who came here, is the same... What's going on...?

"I managed to get away with it last time using a health education book. I hope I won't have to use the same trick again this time," Wu Feng thought pessimistically. He really had no idea how to solve this problem.

Wu Feng looked around the room and finally turned his pleading gaze to Shen Yue.

Sister Shenyue, please help!

Upon receiving Wu Feng's request for help, Shen Yue shook her head without hesitation... crushing the message, and with a flick of her broom, completely destroying all traces.

While Wu Feng was still struggling with his decision, a petite figure ran up from downstairs, making a soft thumping sound under her feet.

"Dad," Rin, wearing little slippers, ran into Wu Feng's arms while holding the cat. The cat, Yi Yue, also jumped onto his shoulder and lay down.
