Chapter 164
But over time everyone began to trust Gilgamesh and Gabriel fell in love with him, and since then she used the sky system in her room to monitor him everywhere he went.
When Gilgamesh went on dangerous missions Gabriel would insist that he not go and get hurt and always watching him, to protect him of course!
Gabriel always had to be on his guard to protect Gilgamesh from enemies, especially those who tried to take him to their side, such as the women who approached him to try to steal from him.
Gilgamesh remembered a day when a girl tried to kiss him for helping her and a giant lightning bolt fell near the place preventing this from happening, the work of Gabriel who was wanting to protect Gilgamesh from a woman who was trying to rob him.
The Seraphim had been taking care of Gilgamesh since he left the Church. Although the King of Heroes tried hard to appear as inconspicuous as possible and even developed a skill to mask his aura, nothing passed Gabriel's eyes. The seals and barrier he created to protect his training sessions from outside eyes were not powerful enough to stop her from snooping.
All this for his protection of course!
She was his self-appointed guardian angel, after all.
Gabriel tried every possible excuse.
Gilgamesh sighed.
"Don't worry Gabriel, I'm not mad, so what do you want?" asked Gilgamesh to Gabriel who sighed in relief.
"Gilgamesh-sama I need help from you" said Gabriel.
"What happened?"
"The Excalibur Fragments were stolen and taken to Japan" said Gabriel worriedly.
Gilgamesh's eyes widened as he realized what that implied.
"And who did this?" asked Gilgamesh playing dumb.
"It was one of my fallen brothers, Kokabiel" said Gabriel sadly.
Gilgamesh knew that Gabriel considers all Angels as his brothers, even the Fallen Angels.
"I understand" said Gilgamesh closing his eyes.
"We will send reinforcements, but I was wondering if you could..." spoke Gabriel stopping half way through because he didn't know if it would bother Gilgamesh.
"Don't worry Gabriel, I will take care of it" said Gilgamesh to the Seraph who smiled relieved.
He would not let Gabriel worry.
Also, Kuoh was under his protection since he lived here.
And anyone who dared to attack would regret it forever.
Somewhere in Japan a ten-winged Fallen Angel who looked like an elf and war maniac sneezed and turned his plans to restart the Great War.
Little did he know the fate that awaited him.
A Few Days Later.
It had been several days since Gilgamesh's encounter and fight against Sun Wukong, the Great Buddha Victorious in Combat, and also Arthur's recovery and him and his sister joining Gilgamesh's group.
Both had joined and gained their own rooms in the house, Le Fay was extremely excited to be able to move in with her idol.
Everyone had also introduced themselves and become acquainted.
Arthur had also discovered the true identity of Arturia and Mordred.
To say that Arthur was shocked was an understatement, he was totally perplexed when he discovered this.
Firstly that someone was able to summon Heroes to fight by his side and then that King Arthur was actually a woman, although he didn't mind that so much.
Since then Arthur had come to view Arturia and even Mordred with great admiration, like Le Fay, and he came to have great respect for both of them and challenged them to fights which he obviously lost.
He had also seen Arturia's Excalibur and could easily say that it was the most amazing and beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life.
Arthur and Le Fay also started training with everyone to increase their power levels, Valerie and Gilgamesh taught Le Fay various spells and other magical techniques.
With Arthur, Gilgamesh and Arturia were teaching him to improve his mastery over Caliburn and his skills with it, Arturia taught him a lot because they both had similar styles, due to fighting with technique, unlike Mordred who fought with pure instinct.
Currently inside the dungeon, which was a large plain with mountains in the background and some trees, waves and more waves of sacred energy were being sent all over the place.
In the middle of the field you could see Arthur who was visibly tired and panting while he had Caliburn in his hand and the sacred sword was releasing great waves of sacred energy.
On the other side was Gilgamesh as he held a copy of Arthur's Caliburn in his hand, the sword was releasing a constant and focused aura of sacred energy.
Beside them watching was Arturia wearing her armor and had Excalibur in her hands and she was without Invisible Ar.
Arthur advanced against Gilgamesh again swinging Caliburn at high speed and releasing waves and more waves of sacred energy.
Gilgamesh quickly defended all of Arthur's blows without even moving from his spot while releasing more waves of sacred energy and nullifying Arthur's.
Gilgamesh smiled.
"I think that's good enough for today" Gilgamesh said smiling.
Arthur gave a tired laugh before falling to the ground on his back panting.
"Onii-sama" said Le Fay as he approached his brother who gave a reassuring smile.
Asia quickly approached him and began to heal him.
"I will take care of him" said Asia smiling at Le Fay who agreed.
"You have improved a lot Arthur" said Arturia to the young man.
Arthur smiled at this, he had immense respect for his ancestor, although Arturia was from a different universe, not that Arthur knew that.
Since Arthur had been living with them Gilgamesh and Arturia trained him every day.
And it was a brutal training, they took him to the edge of unconsciousness every day, it was a very exhausting training, but Arthur could notice his improvements significantly.
"Gilgamesh-sama is it true that Excalibur was stolen?" asked Le Fay to Gilgamesh.
Obviously Gilgamesh had told everyone about the incident of Excalibur being stolen.
Arturia frowned at this statement, she would never consider those fragile fragments as part of her Excalibur.
Gilgamesh couldn't help but sweat as he felt Arturia's anger rising when they talked about the Excalibur Fragments.
Although he understood her.
Comparing the beauty and majesty of Arturia's Excalibur with those mere Fragments was ridiculous, laughable to the point that Arturia wanted to crush them with its bare hands.
That's pretty much how the original Gilgamesh looked when EMIYA copied his weapons? No wonder he was furious.
Gilgamesh had moments like that too, especially when he had people compare his [Gate of Babylon] to the Sacred Gear [Blade Blacksmith] and the [Sword Bithe], let's just say the last person who made that comparison died such a brutal death that not even her soul was left.
"Yes, from the looks of it the sacred swords Excalibur Rapidly, Excalibur Nightmare and Excalibur Transparency, three of the seven Fragments were stolen" said Gilgamesh to them who nodded.
Honestly the Excalibur Fragments are weak, unless they are used by masters like Ewald Cristaldi, they are weak indeed, they can be lethal on Demons, but other than that nothing.
But the original Excalibur of this world was very versatile, Gilgamesh admits, it was a fusion of the seven Fragments and therefore granted seven different abilities, being more versatile than Arturia's.
Although Arturia's Excalibur would easily beat that one because of its much greater power.
