Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 287

Around Lancelot appeared two copies of Arthur who wielded Excalibur and pointed the sword at the neck of the Knight of the Lake.

"You lost" said Arthur breathing heavily.

Even after all the training he had gone through, to be using the abilities of several Fragments of Excalibur and over and over again was eating up his stamina.

"Yes, it is my defeat" said Lancelot as his body slowly crumbled into a blue light, "You have evolved a lot Arthur."

[A "Knight" of Rin Astaroth-sama retreats]

Seeing Lancelot disappear Arthur collapsed only to be picked up by Arturia who helped him up.

"Arturia-sama" muttered Arthur wearily.

"You have evolved a lot, you should feel proud" said Arturia calmly. "Now let's go and meet the others"

nodding they both went to join the others.

With Mordred and Xenovia vs Wave and Akame.

In another region of the battlefield it was possible to see two other battles taking place with great intensity.

On one side were Mordred and Xenovia and on the other Wave and Akame.

Mordred and Wave faced each other, the Betrayal Knight was wearing her armor and holding Clarent in her left hand.

J Wave had in his right hand a short black sword with a hand guard and a chain link edge on the hilt, similar to a navy cleaver.

A huge smile broke out on Mordred's face as she pointed Clarent at her enemy.

"Let's get started" said the woman smiling immensely.

Wave sweated at the bloodlust emanating from the knight in front of him.

"Very well" said Wave smiling.

Wave swung her sword against the ground causing it to be driven into the ground.

"Come on! Grand Chariot" shouted Wave exploding his power.

[Grand Chariot Balance Breaker!]

The earth around Wave was destroyed as an immense draconic armor emerged from the ground and joined the body of the "Hero of the Navy".

When the energy disappeared Wave was revealed wearing draconic armor that was a mixture of blue and black.

Mordred's smile widened as he saw the power of the enemy in front of him.

Wave in an instant shot at Mordred at an impressive speed.

He suddenly appeared in front of Mordred with his fist raised, the aura surrounding the fist increased its strength to the point of rivaling an Ultimate class demon.

However, Mordred raised his left fist and defended Wave's blow calmly.

Wave's eyes widened in shock to see his blow calmly defended.

"Really? That's it?" asked Mordred with a bored tone.

Wave's eyes widened again when he saw Mordred tighten his grip on his sword.

Wave quickly jumped away, but in an instant Mordred cut the distance and appeared in front of Wave with Clarent raised.

The "Hero of the Navy" had no way to react as Mordred lowered his sword cutting Wave.

An immense cut appeared on Wave's body from his shoulder to his waist, and causing his armor to be totally destroyed.

"C-how" stuttered Wave as he spat blood.

"Simple, you're weak" said Mordred nonchalantly.

[A "Pawn" of Rin Astaroth-sama withdrew]

Seeing his opponent crumble, Mordred sighed in disappointment as he turned his gaze to Akame and Xenovia's battle.

With the battle of the two swordsmen it was possible to see the two staring at each other.

Narrowing her eyes Akame shot toward Xenovia.

The former exorcist's eyes widened with speed, it seemed that Akame had become a mere blur.

Thanks to her instincts, Xenovia advanced, swinging her Durandal exactly where Akame had appeared.

The black haired woman's eyes showed no surprise as she saw the attack coming at her.

In one swift movement Akame dodged as she struck Xenovia.

The blue haired woman's eyes widened as she felt Akame's sword make a cut on her thigh.

"If this were a real battle you would already be dead" Akame said nonchalantly as she stopped a few feet away from Xenovia.

The possessor of the sacred sword understood what Akame meant.

Murasame, the sword of Akame, is a legendary demon sword, it had exceptional cutting power, even compared to other demon swords, but its powers that made it unique.

Unlike other demonic swords that could control the elements, or generate waves of destructive energy, its true power lay in the edge of the blade.

Murasame had been forged by a great blacksmith who sought to create a weapon capable of killing a god, but knowing the limits of humans against these divine beings he needed his weapon to be able to kill in one blow.

And so as raw material the blacksmith used something unique, something that was believed to be lost.

A unique raw material, the body of a legendary creature that had the power to defeat a God.

What had been used to create Murasame was the body of Albion, the White Dragon Emperor.

To create Murasame the blacksmith had created it from the fangs of Albion, a Legendary Dragon who had fangs that could wound and kill a God.

But Murasame's power went beyond this, along with her immense cutting power she had acquired Albion's poison on the edge of her blade.

In the past, being known as Gwiber, Albion was an invincible Dragon and was notably feared for its poisonous ability that could even kill Gods easily.

And possessing this poison in its blade made Murasame a legendary sword that could kill even the most powerful enemy with one blow.

But one characteristic of Murasame was that it evolved along with its possessor, in the hands of an amateur its poison could only kill a man, but in the hands of a true master it could bring down even a god.

The mastery Akame had with her sword allowed her to defeat even an Ultimate class being and Satan with one blow, although she had not yet reached the level of killing a God.

If this were a real battle, it was clear that Xenovia would already be dead, she would have died from the small cut.

But because during the [Rating Game] killing was forbidden, a special rule was created for Akame.

Several seals were placed on Murasame to annul her poison, so she lost the ability to kill in one hit, but in return each cut from Murasame was like stealing the movements of her target, slowly the victim of the cut would lose the ability to control her body and become unconscious.

"True" said Xenovia turning to Akame.

Akame's eyes went to Xenovia's thigh and saw that there was no bruise.

"How?" she asked in surprise, Akame knew that Xenovia did not possess any healing abilities.

"Let's just say you are not the only one with a healing ability" said Xenovia smiling.

When Xenovia joined Gilgamesh's group, the King of Heroes had presented her and Arthur with a certain item.

This item in this case was [Avalon] the Excalibur sword scabbard.

In this case using his [Unlimited Weapons Works] Gilgamesh had created several copies of [Avalon] and given them to the members of his group.

And this gave Xenovia semi-invulnerability, if it wasn't for a blow to the head everything would be useless.

Akame narrowed his eyes and advanced against Xenovia at his immense speed.
