Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 223

Gilgamesh easily avoided the devil before elbowing the devil in the chest, causing the sinister being to fly away like a rag doll. The devil's body fell to the ground before coming to a complete stop, the life and light that was in his eyes a moment ago gone.

Gilgamesh turned his gaze to the demons who stared at everything wide-eyed.

"Still we'll win, we're outnumbered" shouted one devil followed by the others.

Gilgamesh simply waved his hand and eighteen golden portals appeared behind him, one for each demon and out of them came various sword and spear weapons, all being holy weapons.

"N-can't it be those weapons?!"

"What is the Golden Beast of Destruction doing here?!" cried another perplexed demon upon discovering Gilgamesh's identity.

"A-awesome?" Kunou whispered as he watched Gilgamesh from within the bushes.

"Now I like those odds." Gilgamesh said with an arrogant smile.

The demons could not react as all the weapons rained down on them with unparalleled power of force easily destroying them.

Letting out a sigh of slight disappointment Gilgamesh turned his attention to Kunou who was staring at him with stars in his eyes, with a wave of his hand all of Gilgamesh's weapons disappeared into a golden dust.

Gilgamesh looked at Kunou who was staring at him with his big yellow-gold eyes.

"Wow Gilgamesh-san you look like a superhero!" josei

Hearing that Gilgamesh let out a laugh.

"Well I am the King of Heroes so you are not far wrong! But now you don't have to worry about those nasty demons coming after you ever again." Gilgamesh said as he extended his hand to him while gently messing up Kunou's hair causing the little girl to growl.

"Don't do that!" She yelled, which in response Gilgamesh laughed.

Gilgamesh was about to say something more when the sound of many footsteps could be heard.

"Spread out! Find Kunou-sama immediately!"

"Search all the ways!"

Then several men wearing traditional miko clothes, with tall geta with white tabi as shoes and blue Hakama appeared. Both had light brown almost blond hair, they also had fox ears and multiple tails. Both men's eyes widened and they shouted.

"WE FOUND KUNOU-SAMA!" The two men ran quickly toward Kunou and many others followed.

Within moments, Kunou and Gilgamesh were surrounded by men and women, all wearing shrine maiden costumes. Although some of them were human, most of the guards were youkai, ranging from Karasu-Tengu, Nekomata and even multiple kitsune.

(Karasu-Tengu: Karasu-Tengu are youkai resembling birds with black wings and raven heads, dressed as mountain hermits)

(Nekomata: Nekomata are Youkai cats capable of using Senjutsu and Youjutsu. They are characterized by having cat ears and tails)

(Kitsune: Kitsune are fox-like Youkai, known for their ability to control fire)

"Are you okay Kunou-sama ?!"

"Kunou-sama, we deeply apologize for allowing something like this to happen!"

"Set up a defensive perimeter immediately! And someone please inform Yasaka-sama immediately!"

As the guard surrounded Kunou and Gilgamesh. One of the two original guards who arrived first noticed Gilgamesh. He also noticed how Kunou was sitting very close to the blond man.

"Excuse me, Kunou-sama?" The guard asked politely drawing the young princesses attention.

"Yes?" Kunou asked fluffily.

"Who is that man?" The kitsune guard pointed to Gilgamesh.

"I found him in the forest and he saved me" Kunou replied with a small blush.

"I see ..." The kitsune guard acknowledged as he turned to face Gilgamesh, "Young man ... I am truly grateful for what you have done to protect Kunou-sama." The Three-tailed Kitsune said as he bowed to Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh shook his head.

"Don't worry about it. I couldn't allow those flying rats to hurt her" Gilgamesh replied calmly.

As soon as Gilgamesh finished talking to the kitsune, another guard noticed who had entered the scene and immediately knelt down.

"Yasaka-sama has arrived!" All the guards immediately dropped to their knees.

Gilgamesh turned his attention to see what all the commotion was about, and was extremely surprised by what he saw. What he saw was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure and long blond hair with matching eyes. She was a woman with delicate facial features and her eyebrows were very short and rounded, a symbol of nobility. Her hair was tied up in a loose ponytail, going down to her legs that ended in a spiral, with tightly stretched bandages to hold it in place. She was wearing a traditional shrine maiden costume, consisting of a white haori, a red hakama, and a pair of zōri with white tabi. And over the shrine maiden costume, she was wearing a white coat closed by a red ribbon. Gilgamesh also noticed her fox ears and nine fox tails, as did Kunou.

Gilgamesh instantly recognized who she was.

Yasaka the leader of the Youkai Faction and a Nine-tailed Fox.

The woman sighed.

"There is no need to bow to me or be so formal at the moment, please stand up." The woman named Yasaka said as she turned her focus to Gilgamesh, who is sitting on the floor next to Kunou with watery eyes.

"H-Haha-Ue ... Haha-Ue!" Kunou began to cry as she ran toward her mother. Yasaka hugged her daughter.

"I'm sorry, Kunou ..." Yasaka said to her daughter as she rubbed her head gently.

"Haha-Ue! Haha-Ue!" Kunou continued to sob.

(Author: Haha-Ue means Mother)

Gilgamesh, who was watching, couldn't help but smile as he saw the reunion of mother and daughter.

Yasaka finally let go of her daughter before turning her attention to Gilgamesh and giving him a smile.

"Thank you, young man. If you didn't save my daughter. I ... would not be able to bear the pain of losing her," Yasaka said with sincerity in his voice.

Gilgamesh then turned his gaze directly to Yasaka's eyes surprising her since usually people looked at her body first.

"No need to thank me" Gilgamesh replied calmly.

"Since you probably know my name is Yasaka, may I ask, what is your name?" she said as her voice sounded like a melody.

Yasaka soon noticed something different about the boy in front of her, as did all the guards around them. Everyone could feel his aura, an immense amount of power coming from him, a power greater than anything Yasaka had ever felt.

And Yasaka also couldn't help but think that he had seen him somewhere else before.

"My name is Gilgamesh" replied the King of Heroes making Yasaka and all the other Youkais except Kunou's eyes widen.

"The King of Heroes? The Sekiryuutei? Why are you here in Kyoto?" asked Yasaka extremely surprised.

Obviously Yasaka knew who Gilgamesh was along with all the rest of the supernatural world.

Gilgamesh the descendant of the King of Heroes, the demigod who collected all the treasures of the world, the exorcist known as the Golden Beast of Destruction, the current Sekiryuutei, wielder of five Longinus and also leader of the newly created Avalon Faction that had a power on par with the Factions of the Gods.1

Gilgamesh's existence was well known to the entire supernatural world due to the event of the marriage of the Gremory heiress in the Underworld and was even more talked about after the Three Faction Bible Meeting where Gilgamesh announced that he commanded a Faction with power on par with the Gods.
