Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 199

The guard has a different appearance, and more resembles four golden dragon claws pointing upwards. The sword has the appearance of a European sword with a gray hilt, a red diamond printed on it and surrounded by four blue lines that curve slightly and a golden hilt in the shape of a cone-shaped arrow. The blade is also notched three times on both sides near the bottom and the fuller, which reaches just above the notches, has a gold border in the shape of a large pearl and the rest is purple in color.

Gilgamesh recognized the sword to be Ascalon the sacred, dragonslaying sword of St. George.

"Although I know you already have it in your treasures I would like to grant you this" said Michael.

Gilgamesh nodded as he took the sword and felt it resonate with his power.

"Why?" asked Gilgamesh.

"You may have heard of the meeting of the three Factions" said Michael and Gilgamesh nodded.

Gilgamesh knew that the Three Factions meeting would take place in a few days.

"The meeting this time, I think there is a huge opportunity for cooperation between the three great powers. I hear that you already know that I am saying this, but we have lost our creator. This is an opportunity. The chance in order to get rid of the useless battles. If the small-scale battles continue like this intermittently, then, in any case, the three great powers will be destroyed. Even if this is not the case, the other secondary powers may invade. This sword is a gift from me to you because I would like you to attend the meeting. Of course, I have also sent gifts to the fallen angels and demons," Michael explained.

Gilgamesh nodded.

Michael then clapped his hands calling for attention.

"And, you've given the time. I have to go soon" Michael said smiling.

"Alright, good to see you Michael" Gilgamesh said smiling at the Seraph who nodded.

"Ah Gabriel will come visit you" said Michael smiling.

Before Gilgamesh could question what it meant Michael disappeared in a golden light making Gilgamesh sigh.

...

...

"Here, some tea."

"Ah, thank you very much."

Presently Gilgamesh and Akeno were still in the temple after Michael left while Gilgamesh wondered what the Seraph meant by Gabriel coming.

Although Gilgamesh's attention turned to Akeno.

"May I ask a question?"

"Yes, of course."

"Are you the daughter of one of the leaders of the fallen angels?" asked Gilgamesh.

Although he already knew the answer Gilgamesh really wanted to help Akeno overcome her trauma.

At first he didn't like her very much because of her corrupted aura but in time he came to like the black haired woman.

The moment Gilgamesh asked Akeno's expression turned somber.

"That's right. Originally, I was born of one of the Leaders of the fallen angels, and a human."

Akeno turned to Gilgamesh and continued.

"My mother was the daughter of a certain temple in this country. I heard that one day, my mother saved Barakiel who had taken ill from his injuries and from the miracle of that day, I was born."

To prove his point Akeno released his wings. Unlike the two normal wings of a demon, one wing was a demon's, and the other, was the black wing of a fallen angel.

"They are dirty wings... The wing of a demon and a fallen angel, I possess both."

As if despising the black feathers of fallen angel, she grabbed them with her hands.

"While hating those wings, I met with Rias and became a demon. But what was born, possessed both demon and fallen angel wings, a despicable creature that possessed both. Fufufu, that goes for me, who has dirty blood running through his veins," Akeno said with pure contempt for herself.

"How do you feel Gilgamesh? I heard you didn't like Fallen Angels, you must hate me" said Akeno sadly.

"Yes, I may not like Fallen Angels much" said Gilgamesh making Akeno get a sad expression, "But I like you Akeno"

Akeno was surprised.

"I am not going to ask you for more details of your birth. I just wanted to confirm...I'm sorry. I am also insensitive sometimes..."

"That's not the case, I have the blood of a fallen angel in me, did you know? Can you forgive me? Even if I was reincarnated as a demon, it doesn't change the fact that I have the blood of a fallen angel.... I could have approached you wanting to be hated, you know? .... No, this is definitely the case. I'm the worst kind of woman..."

"It doesn't matter. Ah, as I say this, Akeno, you are a kind person. I don't like fallen angels, but, I think you are different, even though you have fallen angel blood with you, Akeno is Akeno, and you are the vice president of the occult research club, I have never had any feelings of dislike towards Akeno. Even hearing that you have fallen angel blood in you, I still can't hate you. I like you even now, no problem, right?" said Gilgamesh smiling slightly.

Akeno looked at Gilgamesh as tears fell from his eyes and a blush appeared on his face.

Akeno smiled before wiping away his tears.

"You said some murderous words... After hearing that... I have to get serious..."

Gilgamesh stared in doubt before Aleno stood up and threw herself on top of him with her breasts pressed against Gilgamesh's chest.

Akeno squeezed herself closer to Gilgamesh before whispering in his ear.

"If you keep saying those words in I won't be able to contain myself anymore" Akeno said lewdly as she slid her hand under Gilgamesh's shirt.

Gilgamesh, not being shy, simply slipped his arm around Aleno's waist pulling the girl closer making her blush before placing one of his hands on her face as he moved closer.

"If you can't help yourself who can I" Gilgamesh said as he brought his lips closer to Akeno's who had closed her eyes as she waited for the moment.

But before Gilgamesh and Akeno kissed a crash of thunder shook the sky as if heaven released its fury.

Akeno and Gilgamesh jumped and parted in surprise and Gilgamesh looked up at the sky but there was not a single cloud in sight. Gilgamesh wondered exactly where that thunder came from.

Although Gilgamesh recognized angelic energy in that Thunder and he only knew of one Angel with that mastery over lightning.

In Heaven.

"Gabriel" Griselda called out, tapping the Seraph on the shoulder, "what was that?"

Griselda was a former exorcist who had been reincarnated as an Angel by Gabriel.

The strongest and most beautiful woman in heaven shrugged her shoulders, "Just preventing a crisis from happening, that's all."

The reincarnated Angel felt a bead of sweat go down her face as she watched the Seraph hum to herself. Her skill and power with lightning manipulation were on par with Zeus and Thor of the Greek and Norse pantheons, respectively. Even though the angel looked sweet and innocent, Griselda knew that she held the title of Strongest Woman in Heaven for a reason. Her holy lightning was on a whole different level.

Gabriel smiled at Griselda, "Don't worry." She examined her delicate pale hands before ruthlessly snapping each joint, "It was nothing."

With Gilgamesh and Akeno.

Gilgamesh and Akeno were surprised by that lightning and had just driven it away.

"Looks like we were interrupted" said Gilgamesh laughing lightly as he knew who was responsible for the lightning.

"Looks like it" said Akeno sadly.

Gilgamesh smiled and approached her.

"Don't worry, we can continue whenever you want" said Gilgamesh making Akeno blush.

"So tomorrow will be the day parents go to school right" asked Gilgamesh receiving a nod from Akeno.

"I guess I should go" said Gilgamesh smiling.

"Yes, I should go too" said Akeno smiling.

They both said their goodbyes as they each had their own business.

And Akeno knew now the feelings she had for Gilgamesh.

And they were wonderful.
