Chapter 142
Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes as he summoned another sword in his left hand.
Its shape was unique, but it could be classified as a broadsword. The edge was gem-like blue, followed by gold adorning the tip. The guard was semicircular on the left side of the handle that extended to the bottom just above the pommel, with a small stippling on the right side of the handle.
It was a sword that claimed to be unmatched, a sword that claimed 100,000 men alive, it was a sword that believed it was capable of cutting anything with it, a sword that believed it was capable of creating a miracle, a sword that was a divine construct.
Rising into the sky his power, he was already free of his cage. The Sword already in his hand, used to be a beautiful, unmatched, unbreakable and sacred sword. Even capable of granting miracles.
Durandal was the sacred sword of Roland, one of Charlemagne's paladins.
The two sacred swords beautifully forged by God were being wielded by Gilgamesh.
The two Gods excited when they felt the power of the two swords.
Ares was the first to advance brutally against Gilgamesh while Artemis prepared her bow.
Ares advanced against Gilgamesh as he raised his hammer and brought it down against Gilgamesh with enough force to crush Satan-class beings.
The King of Heroes raised Durandal and fired at Ares' war hammer causing divine auras to be released all over the place.
Gilgamesh in one swift thrust threw Ares away only to have to dodge Artemis' arrows.
Ares in one swift motion hurled his hammer at Gilgamesh who defended with Caliburn, quickly Gilgamesh swung Durandal releasing his sacred aura making a large cut on Ares' chest that spat blood.
The God of War smiled wildly as he swung his hammer at Gilgamesh who defended with Caliburn but was thrown flying into the trees.
Artemis quickly seized this opportunity and launched a hail of arrows at Gilgamesh.
The King of Heroes simply swung Caliburn throwing a wave of light that vaporized all the arrows in an instant before Gilgamesh touched the ground and shot Ares.
Both began an intense and brutal exchange of blows.
If Artemis is a Goddess who takes advantage of every move, moving as if she were dancing on the battlefield and with incredible dexterity and agility the God of War was the opposite.
Ares was a brutal fighter, he used no technique and only fought with his instinct for war and battle, being brutal and hitting where he must hit and knew when to do so.
The Gods of War in all mythologies were extremely feared, even if sometimes they were not among the strongest, their skills and expertise in battle managed to make them something to be feared.
But all this was useless against Gilgamesh, who quickly overpowered Ares and with one blow of Durandal sent the God of War flying.
Ares quickly moved into position and raised his hands, summoning dozens of weapons and hurling them at Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh's eyes darkened at this.
How dare Ares try to rain weapons down on him? This was his business.
Gilgamesh didn't even hesitate when he swung Durandal sending a strong wave of sacred energy that destroyed all the weapons.
Artemis took this opportunity to advance against Gilgamesh but a single blow from Caliburn sent her flying away.
Gilgamesh prepared to advance against the two, but stopped halfway, surprising the two gods.
Gilgamesh's eyes widened as he turned his attention towards Kuoh.
Gilgamesh was a great sensor and from here he could still sense Valerie's power due to him having placed a protection rune.
And he was feeling Valerie's magic power diminishing and that could only mean one thing.
Valerie was in danger.
Gilgamesh quickly turned his attention away from the recovering gods, and dissipated his swords as he shot toward Kuoh as quickly as possible.
However before Gilgamesh rose into the sky Artemis and Ares stood in front of him.
"Where do you think you are going?" asked Ares as he regenerated.
Gilgamesh's gaze darkened as he took off on them both.
Artemis was the first to shoot at Gilgamesh trying to hit him with a punch.
Gilgamesh held her hand, much to the Goddess' surprise, before kneeing her in the stomach causing the Goddess to spit blood as her ribs broke and in one swift elbow Gilgamesh struck Artemis' head knocking her out and sending her crashing into a mountain.
In an instant Gilgamesh appeared in front of a surprised War God and threw a punch so hard that it pierced the War God's chest, it was not fatal, but he would be seriously injured, in one quick movement Gilgamesh knocked out the War God sending him flying into a mountain.
In just four moves Gilgamesh had defeated both Gods.
Gilgamesh quickly shot off in the direction he felt Valerie's energy.
He would only hope to arrive in time.
A few Minutes Earlier.
With Valerie.
Valerie was calmly walking through the town, he had left the house as he was going to buy some things.
Valerie had gone out to buy some things for home and mainly sweets.
Valerie loved candy more than anyone, it had been the first thing she had eaten when Gilgamesh had rescued her from the Tepes Faction two years ago.
Although she liked the sweets that were made by Gilgamesh better she was content with this one.
Valerie walked for a few more meters before she stopped, the whole sky had taken on a purple tint.
She was in a barrier.
Two presences appeared behind Valerie who turned her attention to them.
They were a man and a woman.
The woman was about 20 years old with short hair adorned with several ribbons.
She wears a purple gothic lolita outfit.
The man was a young man in glasses with blond hair and a lock of hair covering his face, who usually wears a business suit and had a sword around his waist.
It was Walburga and Arthur.
The woman had a malicious look on her face.
Arthur, on the other hand, seemed to have something ... different about him. His eyes seemed to be almost blank, as if he wasn't really there.
"Who are you?" asked Valerie as she looked at the two of them.
"Nice to meet you Valerie-chan I am Walburga and this is Arthur" said Walburga with a smile.
"What do you want with me?" asked Valerie as she looked at them.
"Oh don't be like that, we finally met after you ran away Graal-chan" said Walburga cheerfully.
Valerie frowned, especially at the way she was called.
"Are you Rizevim's ally?" asked Valerie.
Obviously she knows all about Rizevim's plans with his Longinus due to Gilgamesh telling her.
Walburga put a hand on her chin and made a cute expression.
"Well, it's not entirely right, but it's not wrong either. I don't work for him, but my leader is an ally of old Rize-kun, they both have an interest in the Holy Grail" Walburga said as she waved her hands.
"Do you really think you will just walk out of here alive?" asked Valerie as her magic power began to circulate through her body.
"Of course I do! After all your friend is very busy right now dealing with a Goddess" said Walburga with an expression that worried Valerie.
"Now let's get started Graal-chan. Arthur please" said Walburga smiling.
