Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 193

Crom Cruach's eyes widened as he saw the damage then turned his gaze to Gilgamesh who was inflating his lungs.

"Roar of the Dragon of Purgatory"

Gilgamesh roared releasing an immense stream of crimson flames from his mouth which advanced incinerating everything towards Crom Cruach.

Crom Cruach immediately opened his mouth and a massive stream of flames came out of it. The flame so intense that it even turned everything into ashes.

Both flames flew into each other before colliding. The impact generated by both flames is so destructive that it vaporizes everything around them. However, Crom Cruach's eyes widened as Gilgamesh's flames began to eat his flame. His flame! You have been eaten by this flame?

Crom Cruach spat out more power and his flame but all he managed to do was make them cancel each other out.

Crom Cruach quickly flapped his wings, causing all the surrounding dust to disperse, only to stare at what Gilgamesh was doing.

The entire sky was covered by huge orbs made entirely of flames, epes had the appearance of a flaming demonic skull.

"Purgatory Dragon's Secret Art: Purgatory Star"

Then all the skulls rained down like drops of water in a storm against Crom Cruach.

Crom Cruach quickly flapped his wings as he began to dodge the skulls, which when they hit the ground created an immense explosion of flame that melted everything it touched.

Crom Cruach dodged them all skillfully, but Gilgamesh threw more and more, making it difficult to dodge.

Crom Cruach raised his right hand into an immense Dragon's claw to increase its power even more, and concentrated an immense amount of aura.

Crom Cruach swung his hand towards the burning skulls and fully released his aura which annihilated all of them in an instant.

Even though he destroyed all the burning skulls, Crom Cruach grimaced when he saw that his hand was half burnt.

The flame was obviously too hot to hurt him and on top of that it had an immense amount of Dragon Slayer aura embedded in it.

Even at this Crom Cruach smiled.

How long had it been since he had fought at this level?

"You are really impressive Sekiryuutei, but you haven't used your Longinus yet" Crom Cruach said seriously as he was very curious about the power Gilgamesh would receive if he used his Longinus.

Gilgamesh who was watching smiled.

"Very well, I think that against you I can get loose" said Gilgamesh as he raised his left arm.

Then a red glove with two green jewels and 10 golden spikes manifested on Gilgamesh's arm.

It was the [Boosted Gear] the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet.

"Very well, you will be the first person to witness this Crom Cruach" said Gilgamesh smiling as the Evil Dragon almost laughed in anticipation.

"Balance Breaker"

At that moment the whole world fell silent as Gilgamesh spoke and his words were heard by all.

And then the world shook.

A huge pillar of crimson energy came out of the [Boosted Gear] and soared into the heavens piercing the clouds, destroying the earth and parting the seas.

The gigantic pressure was felt by all as even Crom Cruach became afraid of the power he was feeling.

A single arm came out of the immense aura and in one swing the pillar of energy was dissipated.

When the aura disappeared Gilgamesh was revealed wearing red draconic armor with green jewels and gold details and two immense wings on his back.

[Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker: Celestial Essence of the Welsh Dragon]

Ddraig's voice announced the Balance Breaker of Gilgamesh.

His own Balance Breaker, the subspecies of Balance Breaker created by Gilgamesh.

Celestial Essence of the Welsh Dragon.

Crom Cruach was surprised as it was a Balance Breaker totally different from the others she had ever seen.

"This is my Balance Breaker of Subspecies, [Celestial Essence of the Welsh Dragon]" said Gilgamesh smiling from behind the armor.

Subspecies were extremely rare and powerful forms of Sacred Gears that deviated from their normal forms.

They occurred when the mindset of the possessor is so radically different from normal that the normal form did not suit them.

Because Sacred Gears responded to their possessors, they would then change into a form that suited the possessor. That was what a subspecies was.

Normally, they occurred only in the Balance Breakers of Sacred Gears. For example, the normal Balance Breaker of Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing was Scale Mail, which was what most of its possessors would get when they achieved Balance Breaker.

However, if the possessor's mindset was radically different from the average Sekiryuutei and Hakuryuukou, the Balance Breaker would change to suit them.

And unlike normal Balance Breakers that have a set name, the names of the Subspecies were up to the possessors to decide. Sacred Gear would provide a name, but it was more of a suggestion than an invariable as in a normal Balance Breaker.

Gilgamesh created his subspecies because he didn't like the normal form of the Balance Breaker as too much power was wasted in his opinion.

So instead of exploding the Heavenly Dragon's power, Gilgamesh imploded the power inside his body, so his whole body was strengthened, starting with his organs, then bones and muscles and then his skin, and then an extremely condensed amount of his power leaked out of his body and this energy turned into armor extremely more powerful than normal.

Obviously Gilgamesh had to train his body madly to withstand this power, otherwise his body could explode in a bloody mess if his physical body could not contain the power of this subspecies.

Gilgamesh held out his hand as he decided to start the attack.

A small red sphere began to form in his hand as Gilgamesh poured power into it.

[Boost!]

Next, it doubled in size.

Again and again.

Like a balloon held under a faucet, the sphere of light expanded, growing larger as it doubled with each heartbeat, until a spinning ball of pure energy the size of a fist hung before Gilgamesh's open hand, shining with all the majesty of a small sun.

Crom Cruach's eyes widened as he realized the level of magic held in the small sphere and realized how much power it contained. Enough power for Crom Cruach to know that taking it head on would hurt a lot and cause great injury.

"Dragon Shot"

Then he fired.

Much faster than any mortal eye could track, it shot through the air, a beam of crimson light tearing its way toward the Strongest Evil Dragon.

The one look Crom Cruach caught as it flew told him that this was not something he could face and remain well after that, not with the waves of power radiating from him like a star.

Crom Cruach was only able to react due to his instincts being extremely sharp thanks to all his training.

Quickly Crom Cruach knowing he couldn't dodge it crossed his arms that were transformed into Dragon claws and concentrated all his aura on protection.

When the beam hit his hand with full force at high speed, as if it were a physical thing and not a construct of pure energy, the Evil Dragon's limbs did not bend. His hand held it without giving in to the tension. Below him, the road shattered, breaking into a web of cracks as it opened a crater, forced to bear the weight of the pressure that was placed upon it as Crom Cruach refused to be moved, the scarlet beam pressed into his palm releasing prisms of light in all directions.
