Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 166

"It is a pleasure to meet you" said Arthur with a small smile.

"Nice to meet you" said Irina with Xenovia nodding in agreement.

"This is Arthur Pendragon, the descendant of King Arthur and wielder of the sacred sword Caliburn" said Gilgamesh to the two who both widened their eyes in shock.

"The Strongest Sacred Sword..." spoke Xenovia in surprise.

"That's amazing, the legendary Sword of the Sacred King" said Irina with her eyes shining.

"So what brings you here?" asked Gilgamesh although he already knew everything.

Xenovia coughed into her hand for attention before speaking.

"I am sure you have already been informed that three Fragments of Excalibur were stolen and brought to Japan" said Xenovia seriously.

Gilgamesh nodded his head.

"And the person responsible for the theft was Kokabiel of the Fallen Angels" said Irina.

"So you were sent to retrieve the three Shards" spoke Gilgamesh receiving a nod from them.

"Are you sure this is enough to defeat a Cadre?" asked Arthur as he was sure they could not defeat the Fallen Angel.

Xenovia faced Arthur seriously.

"No need to worry, we have ways to defend ourselves" spoke Xenovia as she pulled out her Excalibur and placed it in her lap.

Gilgamesh looked at Xenovia seriously.

"Don't let your pride take your thinking Xenovia, Kokabiel is not someone just anyone can win, he is one of the leaders of the Fallen Angels and was one of God's strongest soldiers" said Gilgamesh seriously.

Xenovia makes an embarrassed look.

"Sorry senpai" said Xenovia sincerely.

Irina giggled a few times at this, as the only people Xenovia was listening to were Gilgamesh and Griselda.

Irina and Xenovia had met Gilgamesh when he first came to the church and had soon become friends, both had always had great respect and admiration for the Strongest Exorcist.

Both have also always had a crush on the Golden Exorcist, Xenovia for all her admiration for him, although she could not yet show her feeling.

Irina also likes Gilgamesh, in the past she had a crush on her best friend Issei, but the time she spent in the Church with Gilgamesh made her fall in love with the Strongest Exorcist.

Both were very sad when he left the Church, however they understood their best friend and mentor's motive.

"That's why we would like to ask for your help, with you by our side Kokabiel would be beaten easily" said Irina receiving a nod from Xenovia.

Both may not have known the extent of Gilgamesh's power because it had been a long time since they had seen their best friend, but they knew that he was a literal monster on the battlefield.

Gilgamesh was known as the Strongest Exorcist for a reason, his power said in the Church to be greater than even the Four Seraphim combined.

He was known to devastate entire armies with his fists alone and held a power capable of rivaling the Gods.

"Well I will help you, after all Gabriel asked me to" Gilgamesh said smiling.

Xenovia nodded along with Irina, the latter who felt the warmth in Gilgamesh's voice when he spoke of the Strongest Woman in Heaven.

Many in the Church knew and knew of Gabriel's passion for Gilgamesh and cheered for them, although Irina and Xenovia were a bit jealous due to them not comparing to Gabriel in beauty and power.

"I am surprised that you have not been transformed into Angels" spoke Gilgamesh in surprise.

After he had given the Brave Saints to Gabriel the Angels replicated them and reincarnated many into their ranks increasing their strength, something Gilgamesh had improved on in these letters was that one who was reincarnated as an Angel could not fall for sins, thus being an Angel forever.

So great care was taken when choosing who to reincarnate.

And so it was a surprise that Irina, who had a Fragment of Excalibur and Xenovia who had Durandal were not reincarnated.

"Well, we were told that they would give us a time for that and we wouldn't reincarnate until we were 17" Irina said to Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh nodded his head as this was right, for if he decided to become an Angel it was permanent, and Irina and Xenovia were currently sixteen years old.

"So you have stayed here until you complete this mission" Gilgamesh said to the two who showed surprise.

"Thank you very much Gilgamesh-senpai" said Xenovia with a small smile and Irina had the same.

"Now I think we should talk to the demons in the city, right Xenovia?" spoke Irina as she stood up.

"Yes" said Xenovia seriously.

"I will come with you" said Gilgamesh to the two who nodded.

Gilgamesh turned his gaze to Arthur.

"Can you warn everyone for me?" asked Gilgamesh to Arthur.

"Not a problem" said Arthur as he nodded.

Gilgamesh stood up and looked at the two.

"Let's go" said Gilgamesh as he walked out and the two followed him.

Some Time Later.

Occult Club, Academy Kuoh.

Currently in the Occult Club a very tense atmosphere could be seen in the room.

On one side was Irina and Xenovia sitting on the couch, Irina had a small smile while Xenovia had a serious face.

On the opposite side of them were two High Class Demons, Sona, Rias. The two dressed in their school uniforms as they watched the two exorcists and Gilgamesh with a calm face.

Both the nobility of Sona and Rias were in the corner of the room, forming a line like when their king has a formal meeting. Even Akeno and Tsubaki are no exception this time, as they are also in the same place with other nobles.

There was no doubt that everyone was very nervous and also cautious, except Gilgamesh who seemed indifferent, even the High Class Demon also felt like them. Of course they try to hide it, but my eyes can see through their facade of calm.

It can't be helped, those fragments of Excalibur although they were fragile, but still held a power capable of killing even the Ultimate class Devil if it was in the hands of a professional and skilled bearer.

However among the devil there was one that caught my attention. It was Kiba, the Prince of Kuoh's look was giving off a very hateful look. It was a look of pure malice and hatred. He was looking at the group of exorcists unwillingly. If something were to happen ... No. He looked like he was about to attack them at any moment.

Gilgamesh obviously knew the source of his hatred against the Excaliburs, which Gilgamesh considered foolish.

After all he hated a sword and a sword couldn't kill anyone by itself, it should be wielded for that.

"Before we begin, may I ask why Gilgamesh-san is here?" Rias asked as he looked at the King of Heroes.

Gilgamesh was sitting in a chair a little away from the two couches as he looked at everyone.

"I am here so that none of you kill yourselves" Gilgamesh stated bluntly to them who looked at him, "Remember, I am not on your side, I play a neutral role here." Gilgamesh said.

Irina and Xenovia grimaced at this, Gilgamesh should be on their side due to being an exorcist, but he had already explained to them that he was neutral.

"And yet you live here." Rias pointed out

"If I remember correctly, this is the land of Japan, the land originally place for human life" Gilgamesh retorted back causing his eyebrow to narrow, Gilgamesh noticed that Xenovia gave him an approving look, then he turned to them, "Speak what you want quickly" Gilgamesh told them.
