Gilgamesh in DxD - Chapter 318

The darkness gathered on the ground as it solidified into one being.

It was a tall being, he wore a cloak as black as the deepest night and with various decorations, he wore a skull mask and carried a large black scythe.

“So you noticed me, as one would expect from the King of Heroes” said the being who looked like a Grim Reaper.

Even though it looked casual, you could sense that this Grim Reaper was totally different from the others.

The aura it emanated was so great that Gilgamesh could say it equaled God-class beings.

“What do you want here, Thanatos” Gilgamesh said seriously.

The one in front of Gilgamesh was Thanatos, the strongest Grim Reaper and one of the oldest Grim Reapers in the business class.

“So you know me, I’m glad about that King of Heroes” Thanatos said calmly.

Gilgamesh’s eyes narrowed at the Reaper.

“What are you doing here Reaper? Have you come to fight?” asked Gilgamesh as he prepared to summon his power.

“No, although I would love a battle, if I faced you I would end up dying” said Thanatos in a calm manner.

“Then what do you want?” asked Gilgamesh.

The eyes, or rather the focus of the vision along with Thanatos’ head moved and focused on Meredith.

“Is your goal her?” asked Gilgamesh putting himself forward.

“My goal was to keep her from falling into the hands of Hades who would use her power for wrong means, though I also have my own uses for her” Thanatos said seriously.

Gilgamesh knew that Thanatos was not really an ally of Hades, in fact he had his own Faction and did everything to oppose Hades.

But although Thanatos had the goal of opposing Hades, the means he used to do so were certainly not good.

“This girl is under my protection, Thanatos, if you or Hades want her you must go through me” said Gilgamesh as his power began to circulate his body.

But instead of being intimidated, Thanatos let out a dark laugh.

“You think you can protect this girl? How can you do that when you can’t even protect your allies?” said Thanatos laughing.

Gilgamesh’s eyes narrowed as his aura began to get out of control.

“What do you mean?” cried Gilgamesh with his aura increasing more and more.

Even seeing Gilgamesh’s aura explosion, the Reaper let out a laugh.

“You’ll find out in a moment, I’ll be right back because what I wanted to see has already been completed. And I suggest you also go back to your friends, before you run out of places to return to” Thanatos said as he disappeared into the darkness.

Gilgamesh’s eyes continued to scan Thanatos’ position before sighing.

“What a strange face” said Achilles without understanding.

Gilgamesh nodded as he turned to Meredith and activated his [Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan] and used his [Kamui] to take the girl to another safe dimension.

“Why did you do that?” asked Achilles without understanding.

“Let’s go back Achilles, what Thanatos said was strange. But I have a bad feeling” said Gilgamesh.

Seeing the look on his master’s face, Achilles nodded.

He activated his [Spatial Domination] from [Covenant King Uriel] and turned back to Kuoh.

Kuoh City.

Kuoh City is one of the cities located in the northern prefecture of Japan. The town itself is not that big, having a modest population of 300,000 people, but it was considered a beautiful and peaceful place for families to go hiking due to its location surrounded by a mountain or two, or to have a picnic in the forest near it.

Or should I say … it was …

The majestic buildings and the city that surrounds them. The glory and the tall buildings, the strong steel, cement and iron that stood firm. Collapsing under the heat of the burning flames that burn them all

The landscape, wide, firm and still, is no longer there. They split apart, cracks and craters were everywhere, separating the houses, buildings and everything from each other. If anyone were to see the city of Kuoh condition from a very high position, they would see the cracked landscape itself, almost like children dipping their little finger into the fragile surface of the sand.

That was the sight that greeted Gilgamesh and Achilles when they arrived in Kuoh.

“What’s going on?” asked Gilgamesh with sheer perplexity.

“What the fuck is this” shouted Achilles as he looked at the burning city.

“Gilgamesh”

The attention of the King of Heroes and Achilles turned to the voice and behind them Gilgamesh saw the familiar black hair and violet eyes.

It was Sona who was running desperately towards him.

“Sona!” cried Gilgamesh worriedly.

“Thanks to Lucifer you have arrived” said Sona as she breathed heavily.

“What is happening here?” asked Gilgamesh hurriedly.

“I have no idea a few minutes ago the whole city was attacked by those beings” said Sona seriously.

Looking at the burning scene of his city, Gilgamesh saw dozens of Grim Reapers in addition to several other beings that were the same shadows he had seen before.

Angel-like beings and Fallen Angels, as well as Demons, Humans and other supernatural beings made up entirely of shadows with purple energy coursing through them.

And they were all heading towards Gilgamesh’s house.

“Sona how are the residents?” asked Gilgamesh quickly.

“We have already evacuated the whole city, no need to worry” said Sona quickly.

“Excellent, now go take cover, I’ll take over from here” said Gilgamesh quickly.

Soma was hesitant for a few seconds but nodded, “Okay, but be careful”

Gilgamesh nodded as he watched Sona walk away and he along with Achilles shot off towards their house.

“Are you going to let all these beings loose?” asked Achilles seriously.

“No” said Gilgamesh extending his hand and six spheres of different colors appeared and took the shape of different beings.

They were six different beings.

The first was a humanoid creature with horns made of flames.

The second was a long, large, snake-like creature whose body is made of water.

The third was a humanoid creature with the appearance of a sage carrying a staff while its body is made purely of lightning.

The fourth was a woman with pale blue skin and clothes of the same color, her body is purely made of ice.

The fifth was a large creature with thick arms, legs and torso, its body is made of earth.

And the sixth was a fairy with a thin body and green clothes and skin, her body is made of wind.

They were respectively Ifrit, Leviathan, Ramuh, Shiva, Titan and Zephyr the Avatars who embodied the elements of [Zenith Tempest].

Achilles’ eyes filled with surprise at what they saw.

“Kill all the Reapers and Shadows” with Gilgamesh’s order all the creatures dispersed.

“You too Achilles” Gilgamesh said with Achilles nodding as he joined in the extermination.

Gilgamesh quickly shot off in the direction of his home, but before he even arrived he saw something that surprised him.

A huge three-headed dragon with six giant wings and very dark purple scales was attacking.

[Partner, that’s…] began Ddraig.

Gilgamesh only nodded because he recognized who it was.

It was Aži Dahāka a legendary Evil Dragon, also known as the Thousand Dragon of Diabolism and the Forbidden Dragon of Demonic Origin.
