Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 173

[We were not good alone].

[We didn't have the elements to use the holy swords. But...]

[It will be different if we stay together.]

[You have to accept the Holy Sword.]

[Don't be scared.]

[Even God is watching.]

[Our hearts are always...]

[ONE.]

Their spirits rose to the sky and turned into a great light that fell on Kiba.

Gilgamesh watched everything intently without showing any emotions on his face.

"Balance Breaker, hein" spoke Gilgamesh as he saw the light envelop Kiba.

When the light disappeared Kiba was revealed with a serene expression on his face.

"Valper Galilei. As long as I don't kill him, there will be those who suffered the same fate as us" said Kiba, after all his friends don't want him to fall into the path of revenge.

"Hmph. It has been said for a long time that research always comes with sacrifices. Haven't you realized that yet?"

"Kibaaaaaaaaaa! Reduce both Freed and Excalibur!" Issei shouted to his friend

"You are the" Knight "of the Gremory group and my comrade! My friend! Fight Kibaaaaaaaaa! Don't waste your feelings and spirit!"

"You helped me. Even when you were not going to profit from it. Even though you might have received punishment from our master..."

"Yuuto! Do it! You have to finish this by yourself! Overtake Excalibur! You're Rias Gremory's servant! My Knight will not lose to a mere Excalibur!"

"Yuuto-kun! I believe in you!"

Rias and Akeno began to speak to Kiba who stared at them emotionally.

"... Yuuto-senpai!" said Koneko.

"Please do your best!"

Kiba began to cry as he saw the motivation his friends were giving him.

"Hahaha! Why are you crying? You were singing with joy like a little ghost. It's really a nuisance. It's totally the worst. You know I hate this song. Just hearing it makes the hair on my skin shiver! I don't want to hear it anymore. I'm totally at my limit! I'm going to cut you into pieces and calm down! With this final Excalibur that merged with 4 of them!" shouts Freed.

Kiba faced them with confidence in his eyes.

"I will become the sword of Buchou and my comrades! Please respond to my feelings now! Sword Rebirth!!!"

Kiba's Sacred Gear and the spirits of his comrades mingled. It began to line up and form. Demonic power and sacred power were combining.

When the energies combined a single sword was revealed in Kiba's hand that emanated a sacred and demonic aura.

"Balance-Breaker 'Sword of the Betrayer' You will receive the power of this sword that has the power of light and demonic powers with your own body." shouts Kiba.

Gilgamesh looked at the sword and analyzed it with his [Unlimited Weapons Work] and sighed disappointed.

All that, all that scene for such a disappointing sword.

The mixture of the sacred and demonic attribute could be interesting and Kiba's sword surpasses any Fragment of Excalibur, but it was still sad to see.

Although merging the sacred and demonic attributes was interesting.

Gilgamesh wondered if he could do that and merge two swords with his [Unlimited Weapons Works].

"Maybe mix Excalibur and Gram or Excalibur and Excalibur Morgan..." Gilgamesh whispered to himself.6

He should test a few things when he got home.

Kiba quickly advanced against Freed who defended the blow with his sword, however the aura of Excalibur he was holding was fading.

"This sword surpasses the originator of the holy swords !? Are you kidding me ?! Fuck you, now!"

"If that was the real Excalibur, then I couldn't have won. But that Excalibur can't cut through my feelings and my comrades! It's only four of seven fragments, you have separately overestimated your own powers! Don't even confuse that for a second!"

He moved forward with bold speed, moving even faster than Freed could see. Cuts appeared all over Freed's body, he only managed to parry a few of them. It was as if Kiba was playing with him now, and making cuts on his body and he felt the full extent of the powers that were in his body.

"Why ! Why aren't you getting it right !? You're supposed to be the incomparable Sacred Sword-sama, aren't you !? Shouldn't you have many legends of being the ultimate sword !?" How can you cut me, you stupid bitch!?

Freed, made no attempt to hide his displeasure for the young blond, swinging faster and faster, swiftly hitting the Excalibur sword, moving faster with his body and sword vibrating at the same time.

Kiba, meanwhile, was able to keep up with the blade slashing and slamming against the blades, sparks coming out between them.

"Keep it that way" Xenovia said as she manifested.

She held the Sacred Sword in her left hand, and put her right hand in the air.

"Saint Peter. Saint Basil the Great. Saint Denis. Holy Mother Mary. Please hear my voice!" chanted Xenovia.

The space before her hand distorted, reality bending causing the air to ripple like water, illuminating one side of her face as the distorted space began to emit a faint golden light. Without any hesitation, she plunged her arm into the distorted space, at shoulder height, before stopping and reversing her course as she pulled something out.

And what she pulled out ...

It glowed with a golden light, its divinity unmistakable. The entire battlefield was flooded with his presence, as endless waves of his blessed power crashed over them all. It was a weapon of divine origin, sent from Heaven to help humanity in its darkest moments.

Durandal.

A gift from the hands of God himself given to Roland, his most worthy son. With it, an army of a hundred thousand was stopped by a single man, and in the hands of someone worthy to wield it, there is nothing it cannot cut.

It was shackled and bound by chains of the purest iron, but what chains can hold back such a sword? Works made by mortal hands can hope to bind such an existence. A single swing of its blade will rip him from his fragile confinement and he will be free again.

She reached out and grabbed its handle and pulled and the chains snapped.

"In the names of the saints that reside within this blade, I will release him. Durandal!"

Durandal one of the four holy swords forged by God, with power comparable to Excalibur itself.

The moment Gilgamesh looked at the sword he felt disappointed.

Not by the sword, although it was weaker than the one stored in Gilgamesh's treasures, it was not that.

Gilgamesh had seen Durandal before when he fought Vasco Strada.

But the aura that Durandal was releasing was insignificant compared to his true potential that Gilgamesh saw when he fought Vasco Strada, a man who had completely mastered his power.

But Xenovia didn't have even a shred of that mastery.

"Durandal!?"

"Weren't you the bearer of Excalibur!?"

Not only Valper, even Kokabiel could not hide his astonishment.

"Wrong. I was originally the bearer of Durandal. I was also chosen as the holder of Excalibur. That's all."

Xenovia made a stance with Durandal. Styled two swords along with Excalibur.

"Absurd! According to my research, that they have not reached the stage where someone can exercise Durandal!!!? "

"Of course. Even in the Vatican, they haven't made someone who can exercise Durandal artificially. "

"Then why!?"

"Unlike ordinary artificial holy sword users like Irina, I am a born bearer." Valper was speechless at his words.
