Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 172

"Freed!" Kokabiel called out the name of the priest that almost everyone hated.

"What is it, boss?"

A white-haired priest boy emerged from the darkness.

"Use Excalibur in the circle. It will be the last diversion. Fight it. And in the meantime use the Excalibur that emerged with the fusion of the other four."

"Right, right. Vish. My boss knows how to use people recklessly. But I'm honored to be able to use Excalibur-chan it turned out wonderful! Something like that? Uhehehe! I'll just slice up some demons now!" Freed made a macabre smile as he held up Excalibur.

Xenovia turned her gaze to Kiba.

"Hey, 'Knight' of Rias Gremory. If it's still okay with you, let's destroy that Excalibur together."

"Is it going to be okay to do that?

Xenovia gave a laugh when she heard Kiba.

"It won't be a problem if I collect the 'fragment' of Excalibur that is acting as the core. Since Freed is using it, that is a holy sword that is not a holy sword. Even if it were a holy sword, it is like any other weapon. It changes depending on the person who uses it. That is a sword of heresy."

"Kukuku...

Someone was laughing at the conversation of the two. It was Valper

"Valper Galilei. I am a survivor of the Sacred Sword Project. No. I am someone who was killed by you, to be precise. I lived on because I was reborn as a demon."

Kiba told Valper calmly. But his eyes were filled with flames of hatred. Depending on Valper's response, this could become a very tense situation.

"Hou. The survivor of that project. That's a misfortune. To find you in a country like that. It's fate, fufufu" said the old man with an arrogant laugh.

"Understand, I like Holy Swords. I like them so much that they appear in my dreams. Probably because I was fascinated by the legend of Excalibur since I was a child. That's why when I found out that I couldn't use Excalibur, I went into despair."

Valper suddenly started talking about his life. As Gilgamesh sighed, he did not come here to listen to stories of old fools, Gilgamesh was about to open the [Gate of Babylon] against man.

"I had admiration for those who could use it, since I could never get it. This feeling became so strong that I began to conduct experiments to create those who can use it. So it is complete, thanks to you and the others."

"What? Complete? You discarded us after you found out we were a failure"

Kiba raised his eyebrows in doubt.

"They weren't discarded because they ended up being a failure?" asked Xenovia. But Balba nodded his head.

"I realized that I needed an essential factor to use Sacred Swords. So I used the number value of these 'factors' to investigate their potentiality. Many of the test subjects had the "elements," but they didn't have the number value needed to use Excalibur. So I came to a conclusion. Is there a way to take the elements and put them together?"

"I see. I understand now. What is put inside the user of the Sacred Sword when they receive a blessing is..."

"That's right, Sacred Sword bearer girl. We take the sacred elements from those who possess them and crystallize them."

Valper took out an orb that was emitting light.

It was a bright orb. It contained the so-called sacred aura.

"With this, the research on Sacred Sword wielders has improved. Still, those idiots in the Church banned me for heresy and took away my research reports. Looking at you, I see that the project was succeeded by someone else . That Michael . He made me look like a criminal and this is the result? Well, this is the angel we are talking about. Even if he took the elements out of the guinea pigs, he wouldn't go so far as to kill them. That part would just make him more human than I am. Kukukuku."

Valper continued to laugh again and again, as if he could not contain himself.

"You killed my companions and took their elements to use the Sacred Sword?"

Kiba asked Valper with a voice full of killing intent.

"That's right. That sphere I showed you. I used three of them on Freed. That's the last one."

"Hyahahaha! Other guys died because their bodies couldn't synchronize with the elements! Hmmmm. If I think of it that way, that makes me special." said Freed maniacally.

"Valper Galilei. How many lives have you sacrificed for your greed and experiments ... you're trash Valper.

Kiba's hands were shaking and an aura of hatred was coming out of his body. With an incredible intensity.

"Hm. If you say that, then I will give this orb to you. My research has reached the stage where it is possible to mass produce them in the right environment. First of all, I will destroy this city with Kokabiel. Next, I will gather the legendary Holy Swords stored all over the world. Next, I will mass produce Sacred Sword wielders and start a war against Michael and the Vatican with the combined Excalibur. I will show the results of my research to those foolish angels and their followers who condemned me."

Valper threw away the orb as if he had lost interest in it. It rolled on the ground and went to Kiba's foot.

Kiba silently bent down and picked it up. She patted the orb with sadness, love and tenderness.

"Guys..."

Tears were streaming down Kiba's face. His expression was one of sadness and anger. Then it happened.

The orb that Kiba was holding began to emit deep lights. The lights began to spread and eventually covered the entire school. From the ground they came out and began to take on a shape. A shape of a person. There were boys and girls who were emitting a bluish white light and they were surrounding Kiba.

"The various powers present in that field made the spirits of the sphere appear." Akeno said to everyone.

They looked at Kiba with a worried expression.

"Guys! I... Me!"

They were the people who were discarded in the Sacred Sword Project.

"I've always... I've always thought about it. It's not right that I'm the only one who survived.... Some had more dreams than I did. Some wanted to live more than me. It's right that I'm the only one who has a quiet life..."

Then a spirit of a boy smiled, and seemed to want to say something.

[Don't worry about us anymore, you're alive at least].

Then the spirits of the boys and girls began to move their lips in a rhythm. They were singing.

They were singing the sacred sound. Kiba began to sing while crying. When they were going through a painful experiment, this was the only thing they got to keep on having hopes and dreams.

It was the only support they had to continue living their hard life. Kiba and his companions had the smiles of innocent children. Their bodies began to glow. These lights were getting stronger and stronger, with Kiba at the center.
