Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 171

"Cerberus!" Rias said in a voice full of disgust.

"Cerberus?" asked Issei in doubt.

"Yes. A famous creature that has the nickname Guardian of the Gates of Hell."

"Guardian of the Gates of Hell...?! So this dog is such a terrible monster?!"

"He lives in the gates of hell, not in the underworld. But to bring that into the human world...!"

"Is that bad?"

"We have to do it! We'll blow him up, Issei!"

"Yes, buchou, Sacred Gear!" shouted Issei as he summoned his Sacred Gear.

Shadows emerged around Issei and stood in the form of tentacles at his side as white flames appeared in his hand and a [Twice Critical] appeared in his right hand doubling his power.

Gilgamesh gave a slight look of surprise that Issei was able to command all three Sacred Gear.

"Issei you will defend us with your shadows" said Rias to Issei who nodded.

Rias and Akeno quickly spread their devil wings that looked like bat wings and flew above the Cerberus.

The Cerberus growled as one of its heads launched an immense jet of flames at the two Devils.

"So naive" said Akeno with a mischievous laugh.

Akeno stepped forward and quickly summoned a magic circle creating a blizzard that completely froze the flames of the three-headed dog.

"Take that" shouts Rias as he appeared behind Akeno and fired a wave of his [Power of Destruction], the impact was so great that it destroyed everything it leaned against due to the nature of the demonic power.

Quickly one of the Brain's heads launched another blast of flames against Rias' [Power of Destruction], not finishing the other two heads spat out another two waves of fire against Rias who was having a hard time resisting.

"Opening" said Koneko as she jumped against Cerberus.

Koneko was surrounded by a dense orange aura, it was the aura that represented her Sacred Gear that was given to her by Gilgamesh, the [Variety Detonated].

Konako quickly advanced and punched Cerberus in the head, a giant explosion occurred when Konako's aura hit the huge being that was forced to retreat.

This was the power of Sacred Gear [Variant Detonation] which allows its user to cause explosions where his aura touches.

"Take that too!" shouts Akeno as he points his hand to the sky.

Thunder rumbled in the sky as an immense flash appeared in the form of a lightning bolt that crashed at full speed into Cerberus.

Cerberus recoiled as black blood leaked from his wounds and he growled.

The devils were already counting themselves victorious until a huge wave of darkness emerged from the ground and when it disappeared another Cerberus was revealed

"Another one?" spoke Issei startled.

The other Cerberus quickly turned its attention to Issei and took off towards him.

Issei's eyes widened before he waved his hands and produced white flames that were from Sacred Gear [Flame Shake] and fired them at the Cerberus.

Unfortunately the flames did not make the Guardian of the Gates of Hell stop, in fact he only advanced against Issei with more anger.

Issei summoned his shadows which in a few movements became chains that momentarily trapped Cerberus.

"That" shouted Issei joyfully, but his joy quickly fell away.

In one swift movement Cerberus broke free from the chains of shadows and advanced towards a startled Issei.

However before it hit Issei one of the Cerberus heads was ripped off and broken to everyone's surprise, when the head was separated from the body it turned to dust and disappeared.

Everyone turned their gaze to see who had done this and turn Xenovia with her Excalibur Destruction in her hands.

"I've come to help" Xenovia said confidently.

After saying that, Xenovia went slashing at Cerberus' torso. The dog was howling in pain because it had lost one of its heads.

Cerberus's trunk split in two after taking a fatal blow. There was smoke coming out, and Cerberus began to vaporize. It was the effect of the Sacred Sword.

"The Sacred Sword blow. It does critical damage to the creatures." said Akeno in surprise.

Xenovia pierced Cerberus' chest to finish him off. In the same instant, Cerberus' body turned to dust and disappeared.

Akeno and Rias deciding to finalize their enemy increased their powers to the maximum causing a crimson aura to appear on Rias and a yellow one to appear on Akeno.

"Akeno!" shouted Rias.

"Yes! Thunder, resound!" said Akeno as he raised his hand.

Akeno raised his finger to the sky and began to control the thunder. His fingers were pointed at Cerberus.

Cerberus tried to move away after noticing the thunder coming towards him, however he was made impossible when countless blades pierced Cerberus' legs! The swords were coming from the ground!

"I will not let you escape." shouts a voice that turned out to be Kiba using his Sacred Gear to create sword and trap Cerberus.

The thunder crashed down on Cerberus after he lost his movements, thanks to the devil swords. The thunder was so big that it couldn't be compared to the previous one! It covered more than half of the school!

Cerberus' howl was hidden by sound, and his body was reduced to nothing by the thunder.

The moment the big dog disappeared, Rias pointed his hand at Kokabiel!

"Take that! Kokabiel!" shouted Rias angrily.

There was a gigantic mass of demonic power that shot out of Rias' hand.

Gilgamesh shook his head in denial at the sight of it, if Rias had pooled his power with that of his colleagues it would have been much better, but arrogance was stronger.

Kokabiel simply stretched out one of his hands.

"Is that it?"

He was blocking Rias' shot with only one hand. Gilgamesh saw that the light was in his hand, so it made sense now. He was pushing back Rias' power with his light power, so he wasn't even really touching his palm.

Kokabiel looked his palm up into the sky. The shot fired by Rias changed direction, went up into the sky and disappeared.

"Pretty disappointing that Gremory power" said Kokabiel earning an angry growl from Rias.

"... It's complete."

Perhaps because they were absorbed in the fight and not paying attention, but Valper spoke up, revealing that he had completed all four Excalibur.

Then the four Excalibur, which were placed in the center of the school, began to create an incredible amount of light. Kokabiel began to cheer.

"The four Excalibur will become one." announced the Star Lord of Grigori.

It began to give out divine light that spread all over the school field. Because of its radiance, most covered their faces with their hands. Except Gilgamesh who stared at everything as if he didn't care.

When the brightness disappeared, there was a Sacred Sword in the center of the school, emitting a bluish white aura.

"Because of the light created when the Excalibur came together, the magic on the ground was also completed. That city will be destroyed in less than 20 minutes. The only way to cancel this magic is to defeat Kokabiel." announced Valper shocking everyone.

The magic circle spread over the entire school and began to glow and gather power.

Everyone was speechless. The city they lived in was going to explode in twenty minutes, and fighting Kokabiel was hard enough, they now had a time limit, and it wasn't helping anyone that that time limit was near either.
