Chapter 180
Chapter 180
Gilgamesh accepted Xenovia with open arms and now the former exorcist has become part of his group.
One thing Xenovia told him was that Rias offered her a place in his nobility, which Xenovia refused.
Gilgamesh would love to see the look on Rias' face at the fact that Xenovia did not join her nobility.
"I also heard that you somehow gave Koneko a Sacred Gear" Sona said to the surprise of everyone in the room who didn't know Gilgamesh was capable of that.
"Yes I did, are you jealous Sona?" asked Gilgamesh to Sona who blushed before adjusting her glasses.
"It's not that" said Sona with a grumble.
"Well, I wasn't fair when I gave a Sacred Gear only to Rias's group. Let's fix it" Gilgamesh said as he snapped his fingers.
Some golden ripples appeared around Gilgamesh and some auras came out of the portals and entered the members of the Sona nobility, minus Tsubaki and Saji.
They all widened their eyes as they felt power coursing through their bodies.
"What did you do?" asked Sona curiously.
"I gave Sacred Gear to them" said Gilgamesh making everyone's eyes widen.
"I see, thank you Gilgamesh, would you mind telling me which ones they are?" asked Sona expressing everyone's curiosity.
"Well, you guys will have to figure it out on your own, after all I gave more Sacred Gear to your group" said Gilgamesh receiving a nod from everyone.
"Hey why didn't I win?" asked Saji angrily.
"Because you already have one" said Gilgamesh making Saji calm down.
Gilgamesh turned his gaze to Tsubaki who blushed when she felt Gilgamesh's gaze on her.
"Well, for you a Sacred Gear wouldn't be necessary due to you already having one, so how about a weapon? From what I hear you use a naginata" Gilgamesh said to her.
Tsubaki blushed a little before nodding.
Gilgamesh held out his right hand and a blue flame appeared and slowly took shape resembling a spear before sharpening and revealing itself to be a halberd.
Gilgamesh threw the weapon to Tsubaki who when he picked it up widened his eyes as he felt the power flowing from the weapon.
"I am surprised that you would give a weapon to someone, from what I know your ancestor would never share his treasure" said Sona in surprise.
Gilgamesh smiled.
"Well that is true, but besides the [Gate of Babylon] I have an ability that allows me to copy legendary weapons" said Gilgamesh making everyone's eyes widen at this information.
If Gilgamesh was really able to do this it would be incredibly scary, there were weapons that started and ended wars, if Gilgamesh could do all this it would be absurdly scary.
Although that would explain a bit about how many weapons he had summoned in his battle against Kokabiel.
"I see. So can you tell us about the weapon?" asked Sona and Gilgamesh nodded.
He held out his hand and Tsubaki left the halberd in it before Gilgamesh began to explain.
"Its name is Houtengeki" Gilgamesh began to explain, "A unique halberd crafted in ancient China. It is a masterpiece in every sense of the word and if you search the whole world you will never find another halberd that matches it. What sets it apart from any other type of weapon is its versatility that allows it to use all the main features of all other types of two-handed weapons, allowing it to be effective in cutting, thrusting, striking, reaping and sweeping.
"However, this is both a flaw and a blessing in its design, as it requires a great deal of skill to handle this weapon. It would not be incorrect to say that to master it you need to have the ability to handle several types of weapons. It is an incredibly difficult weapon to learn to handle proficiently and it will take years for even the most talented fighter to master it completely. In the nearly two thousand years that the Houtengeki has existed, only one man has successfully mastered it."
"The most remarkable thing about this particular weapon is how its destructive power varies according to the skill of its bearer. The more skilled the user, the more powerful the halberd becomes, while in the hands of an amateur it becomes little more than a pointed stick."
"At maximum strength, it is said to have the ability to pierce anything in the world, from the strongest armor to the scales of dragons and even the flesh of the gods."
At this point, everyone in the Council room was looking at the weapon with looks of shock and wonder. The expressions of astonishment on the usually stoic faces of Sona, Tsubaki and Momo were especially hilarious to Gilgamesh.
"Gilgamesh" called Sona with an amazed expression, "You gave my [Queen] a potentially god-destroying weapon? Just like that?"
Gilgamesh simply shrugged.
"I have no use for it" Gilgamesh said.
That was true. The Houtengeki, while powerful, offered no unique ability that Gilgamesh could not find in another weapon. In fact, compared to some of the stronger blades, it paled in comparison.
And also Gilgamesh had the original stored in the [Gate of Babylon] and could create as many copies as he wanted with the [Unlimited Weapons Works].
"I don't mind leaving her with Tsubaki. I'm sure Houtengeki will be much happier with Tsubaki." said Gilgamesh smiling before returning the weapon to Tsubaki who smiled.
"Gilgamesh" a voice called out to him and it turned out to be Tsubaki, "You said that only one man in history has ever dominated the Houtengeki. Who was it?"
"He was Lu Bu, a man whose skill in battle earned him a place as a legend in Chinese history."
"A hero?" Sona asked, "You gave her a legendary hero's weapon?"
Gilgamesh shook his head.
"Lu Bu was many good things, but he was not a hero."
Tsubaki looked at the weapon for a moment before looking at Gilgamesh.
"I promise I will take very good care of it" Tsubaki said seriously.
Gilgamesh smiled.
"I know you will, I trust you" said Gilgamesh smiling.
Tsubaki seeing the smile began to blush before her entire face turned red and emanated steam.
Gilgamesh then turned his gaze to Sona.
"Well, I don't have anything to give you, since a Sacred Gear wouldn't be good due to you being a pureblood devil and you don't use any weapons" Gilgamesh said to Sina who denied with her head.
"Don't worry, I don't want anything" said Sona.
Gilgamesh looked for a few seconds until a mischievous smile appeared on his lips and quickly disappeared.
"Well since there is nothing I can give you" said Gilgamesh putting on an innocent face, "You can ask for anything you want and I will do it" said Gilgamesh.
Everyone was quiet for a moment before they discovered the double meaning behind the words.
All the girls, including Sona and Tsubaki, blushed heavily as lust shone in their eyes.
It was no secret that many girls at school had a crush on Gilgamesh, since they considered him perfect.
Sona, Akeno and Tsubaki were some of the many who had this crush.
Gilgamesh was considered perfect, he was kind, powerful, intelligent and educated and on top of that he had a beauty that would make any woman impressed and just by staying long in his presence the women already felt their bodies getting hotter.
