Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 139

The color of steel began to transform around him, the bluish, gaseous aura slowly becoming almost solid and could be grasped now.

Imitating the skill of its manufacture.

The sacred and light element began to pour into him as Gilgamesh felt his energy being drained, it was a very small amount, not much for Gilgamesh who had a large amount of magical power.

Sympathizing with the experience of his growth.

Roland ... The famous Paladin and leader of the Twelve Peers. A sword that was granted to him by an angel and splendidly forged, as well as Caliburn. It proved to be almost indestructible, seeing how Roland's desire to destroy it on the verge of his death to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy ended in failure.

Reproducing the accumulated years, complete.

Overcoming every manufacturing process, complete.

The blue flames in his hand slowly formed and were about to take the form of the famous Durandal sacred sword.

Keep the energy stable, recreate the form, change the use and-

Gilgamesh's eyes widened as he noticed the energy becoming unstable, the beautiful blue sword-shaped flames began to twist and undulate almost like tentacles!

Ah Shit! Ah shit! Ah shit!

Instantly, Gilgamesh made the sword hilt solid, grabbing it quickly and throwing the sword toward the sky hard, and I mean really hard. The unstable sword shot out with incredible speed and

BOOOOOOOM!

A blue and yellow explosion about 300 meters long immediately appeared and destroyed everything. It didn't burn, but annihilated, eradicated everything it touched, turning it into nothing but ashes.

The radiation shockwave could be felt for more than 2 kilometers. The violent gust of wind hit him, it seemed as if a hurricane was being hurled against Gilgamesh who was not even affected.

As quickly as the blast appeared, so quickly it was gone. The violent blue torrents of destruction didn't exist for more than 7 seconds before they disappeared. The temperature also returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

All the clouds in the sky were parted and a giant mountain had been totally destroyed, anything solid was nowhere to be seen as if it had been eaten by a monster. The ground had turned into a huge crater, as if a giant had just stepped into it.

The explosion had enough force that even Maou class beings couldn't survive.

"That explosion would have been felt by any supernatural entity ... Such power would make their radars go off like crazy."

Gilgamesh heard a voice behind him and when he looked he saw Sebas walking with indifference as if he didn't even care about this power.

Gilgamesh sighed as he thought about his training.

Currently he was training with his skill [Unlimited Weapons Works] to further increase the strength of his weapons and especially the speed with which they were created and modified.

Gilgamesh could create weapons as strong as the original ones, but the speed to create them depended only on himself and therefore the training.

And even for Gilgamesh to alter them was difficult.

Gilgamesh tried to alter the Durandal and turn it into a weapon similar to Caladbolg, but it was more than difficult.

Gilgamesh was able to alter Caladbolg and turn it into a projectile and fire it.

So why was he having difficulty using it on Durandal?

Let's keep it simple. Gilgamesh had the basics of how to use this ability, how to increase its power he would have to figure that out on his own, although he also had EMIYA and Shirou Emiya's memories on how to use this ability. However, all of this was like a book, it was knowledge that he needed to read before he could apply it.

Some of the knowledge was easy and he could already use it. Altering Caladbolg was among that, apparently it was also EMIYA's favorite, so the how to alter it and how to design it was already there and I just needed to follow it.

But Durandal? No. Let me tell you something, the [Unlimited Weapons Works] was not like the [Babylon Gate]. It was not an unlimited place filled to the brim with Noble Phantasms.

The [Unlimited Weapons Works] was basically a copy of the [Unlimited Blade Works] the only difference was that with Gilgamesh's he could create weapons as strong as the original, but its essence didn't change.

It was a place that was full of swords, a world of infinite swords - and that was it.2

These swords were mainly Noble Phantasms rated E or D, if they were. There were also those rated C, and also those who could be considered B or A rated.

Durandal was one of them, apparently EMIYA copied this sword when he was fighting the original Gilgamesh. However, it was not used often because it consumed a large amount of prana, not to mention that it was considered a divine construct, something that made it more difficult to trace and create in their world, since Gaia had a strong influence there.

Caladbolg, however, was not a divinely constructed sword.

Gilgamesh tried to use the same process to alter Durandal that he did in Caladbolg, however it didn't work, partly because they were different weapons and Durandal was much more savage.

Gilgamesh may have had the [Unlimited Weapons Works] skill but that was it, he had it, it doesn't mean he mastered it.

As with all of Gilgamesh's abilities, the system granted him the ability to perform them and showed him how to use them.

But this did not mean that Gilgamesh mastered them instantly, to master them at the level he has today required day after day of intense training to achieve the power he has today.

"What happened Sebas?" asked Gilgamesh as he turned to his teacher.

Sebas was really and teacher to Gilgamesh and he didn't mind admitting it.

During all these years Sebas had taught him everything he could, he taught him about the supernatural world and everything he needed to know.

He taught him the most diverse magics and forms of combat so that Gilgamesh could fight any enemy.

Sebas taught him to adapt to any enemy he met, so that when Gilgamesh was in a life or death situation he could find a way to survive.

Sebas was a brutal teacher, he literally hammered into Gilgamesh's body everything he needed, including making Gilgamesh go a week without sleep and training his body all the time.

Sebas taught Gilgamesh everything he needed, but only taught him and gave him tips, if Gilgamesh wanted to master these skills it was up to him.

The old man had absolute trust and loyalty in his disciple, and was willing to do anything to protect him.

Sebas although he looked very stiff on the outside he was like a big marshmallow on the inside, always enjoying the house being bustling, although he always scolded Mordred.

"You are trying hard enough young master" said Sebas to Gilgamesh who nodded.

"Yes, I want to dominate her as soon as possible" Gilgamesh said to him.

Sebas looked at Gilgamesh for a moment.

"What's wrong? You don't look well" Sebas said to his disciple.

Gilgamesh sighed as he knew he had no way to hide things from Sebas.

"Only that I have a very bad feeling about what is to come" said Gilgamesh somberly.

"I see, so how about we distract ourselves. How about a little battle?" says Sebas to Gilgamesh who stares at him in surprise.

"You want a fight with me Sebas?" asks Gilgamesh with a teasing smile that the butler returns.

"Unless you are afraid" speaks Sebas while teasing him.

Gilgamesh smiles at that.
