Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 195

Words were just that: words. Sounds, syllables, vibrations in the air. They had no more weight or force than a clap of hands or the barking of a dog. The only meaning they possess is the one we give them.

It was something simple, yet Crom Cruach knew that this was anything but simple.

A primitive part of the Evil Dragon, the part of his brain that had no language, more animal instinct than thought, screamed in terror. The fear of a child knowing with absolute certainty that there was a monster hiding under their bed, just waiting for the opportunity to grab their ankles and drag them down. Of cavemen huddled around a campfire knowing that a predator lurked in the darkness, that a monster on a scale beyond imagination lurked in the night waiting for them to pass beyond the safety of the light cast by the campfire to devour them whole.

If ever there were words of power, these were it. It seemed they could hear them with more than just their ears, the words reverberating in their souls and stirring a deep part of them that made them want nothing more than to find a dark corner to hide in.

Crom Cruach knew that if he let Gilgamesh finish he would probably lose, but still he did not move.

Crom Cruach simply took a battle stance as he smiled and waited for Gilgamesh to complete his power.

"I am the Heavenly Dragon who stole the principles of God Domination"

Juggernaut Drive.

The forbidden power that was hidden deep within Boosted Gear, granting the user a means to remove the boundaries placed on Boosted Gear and summon the full power of a Celestial Dragon.

A power that placed its user on full equality with the Gods themselves.

But this came at a price; to have the power to obliterate any enemy the user would have to give his life in exchange.

The Juggernaut Drive would devour the magic power and life force of the user and use them as fuel.

Basically a suicide technique.

"I laugh at the 'Infinite' and suffer from the 'Dream'"

Gilgamesh's armor began to grow larger as he recited the chant.

The armor became more and more dragon-like.

Gilgamesh's arms became immense claws while his legs became the legs of a Dragon.

His wings became even larger as the green jewels scattered all over the armor glowed.

Gilgamesh's head lengthened as he went on to become the head of a Dragon as several golden spikes appeared around him.

"I must become the Red Dragon of Domination"

Gilgamesh continued reciting his words as the menacing aura around him continued to increase.

Gilgamesh's power increased as everyone felt the overwhelming pressure hovering over their bodies.

"And I shall sink you into the depths of crimson purgatory"

The aura around Gilgamesh increased even more as his body became more and more like a huge Red Dragon.

Then Gilgamesh roared.

"Juggernaut Drive"

Gilgamesh roared into the sky as he triggered the final technique of [Boosted Gear].

A roar so powerful that the clouds were erased, the earth destroyed and the sea vaporized while the temperature of the environment increased exponentially.

By the time Gilgamesh triggered the Juggernaut Drive he should have been considered dead, for that was the effect of the technique.

However, that is not what happened to Gilgamesh.

"Send"

With a single word Gilgamesh gained complete control of the Juggernaut Drive.

With his overwhelming power Gilgamesh overruled all the former wielders of the [Boosted Gear] and with his unwavering willpower he gained control of the Juggernaut Drive.

For he was the great King of Heroes and would not allow a mere curse to influence his mind.

In an instant Gilgamesh gained complete control of his power, as the uncontrolled aura of the Juggernaut Drive gathered in his body.

With a single word he gained control of the Juggernaut Drive.

When Gilgamesh defeated the old wielders of the [Boosted Gear] it simply allowed him to use the Juggernaut Drive without losing his life or magic power, but the hatred of the old users was still there.

The hatred of dozens of people could make anyone go mad, however Gilgamesh was not just anyone.

He would not allow the mere hatred of the former Longinus users to affect him.

Crom Cruach smiled when he saw the power emanating from Gilgamesh and the King of Heroes stepped forward.

Crom Cruach had no time to react when in an instant Gilgamesh was in front of him.

If when using the Balance Breaker Crom Cruach was unable to see Gilgamesh but his instincts were able to alert him, not now.

Even with his instincts Crom Cruach could not see or feel Gilgamesh moving.

Gilgamesh appeared in front of Crom Cruach and using his claw he grabbed the head of the Evil Dragon and in a single swing Crom Cruach was thrown to the ground.

Crom Cruach had no time to react as Gilgamesh was already in front of him and started punching.

Gilgamesh simply punched Crom Cruach with immense force while his arms were totally immersed in a great aura and imbued with [Penetrate!].

Crom Cruach could not even react when all he could do was try to defend himself from Gilgamesh's immensely powerful blows.

Crom Cruach quickly released all of his aura trying to push Gilgamesh away as the Evil Dragon already felt his consciousness fading.

Crom Cruach quickly shot away when he managed to get out of Gilgamesh's grasp, but before he could react Gilgamesh was already in front of Crom Cruach.

It was a single blow, a concentrated blow with an immense aura along with [Penetrate!] striking Crom Cruach in the stomach.

Crom Cruach vomited large amounts of blood before being sent flying towards the ground causing an impact several times greater than Kuoh.

When the dust subsided Crom Cruach was revealed in the middle of the crater as blood leaked from his body and he had several broken bones.

Crom Cruach was unconscious while he had a smile on his face.

Gilgamesh roared in victory as his Juggernaut Drive was deactivated.

In the face of the overwhelming power of the King of Heroes not even the Strongest Evil Dragon could do anything.

For he was the Dragon of Domination and all enemies would fall before him.

...

Some Time Later.

Right after the battle against Crom Cruach, Gilgamesh and his friends went back inside the house while Gilgamesh carried the unconscious Evil Dragon.

Crom Cruach was unconscious for a few hours, from the looks of it the injuries were too many even for the Evil Dragon.

Gilgamesh had healed some of his injuries, while his friends thought Gilgamesh should kill Crom Cruach.

Since Crom Cruach was allied with Rizevim he could tell Lucifer's son his location and this would become problematic.

Gilgamesh refused, for he knew Crom Cruach's nature well and knew that although he was an Evil Dragon, he was very honorable.

Presently everyone was gathered in the living room while Gilgamesh was sitting on a couch and had his friends behind him.

Crom Cruach was sitting on another couch while surprisingly eating a banana ice cream.

Right after the Evil Dragon woke up Asia offered him a banana as she figured the Dragon must be hungry, and he accepted and surprisingly liked the taste very much and named it his favorite food.

Currently he was eating a banana ice cream that Gilgamesh had prepared and had a very satisfied smile on his face.

"Are you sure you don't want me to heal your scars?" asked Gilgamesh as he leaned back on the couch.

The Evil Dragon had been left with several scars from the battle of the battle, but he prevented Gilgamesh from healing them.
