Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 286

Lancelot quickly balanced himself and faced Arthur perplexed.

"What sword is that" said Lancelot visibly surprised.

Arthur only pointed his sword at his enemy.

"That is the Holy Sword Excalibur" said Arthur calmly.

Lancelot's eyes widened in bewilderment at what he had heard.

"H-how, the sword Excalibur was destroyed a long time ago" said Lancelot visibly dumbfounded.

"Gilgamesh had the Fragments of Excalibur with him thanks to his [Gaye Of Babylon] and so he used his divine power to reinforce Excalibur for me" said Arthur calmly.

Lancelot's eyes widened in surprise.

"I see, so that explains his speed, the Original Excalibur could use the power of all seven Fragments" said Lancelot in understanding.

The power of the Excalibur Sacred Sword was extremely unique, it was capable of generating an amount of sacred energy comparable to Durandal, though inferior to Caliburn.

However its true abilities was the ability to use the power of the 7 Fragments.

The [Excalibur Destruction] which has the ability to release pure, destructive power that can easily break anything it comes in contact with, powerful enough to create huge craters.

The [Excalibur Mimic] which has the ability to transform into any weapon and transform into any shape, size and material its bearer desires. It can even be transformed into any regular object. It is even capable of creating multiple life-size copies of a living being.

The [Excalibur Rapidly] which has the ability to grant the bearer the ability to increase the speed of the sword and an incredibly enhanced speed, fast enough to create residual images of oneself. The sword also seems to give the wearer greater flexibility, making it easier to avoid high-speed attacks.

The [Excalibur Nightmare] which evokes everything the user can imagine, granting the user the ability to cast vivid illusions and be able to control the dreams of others.

The [Excalibur Transparency] that can make its bearer invisible.

The [Excalibur Blessing] which relates to one's belief in the teaching of religion, and has been said to show its effects mainly when used during sacred rituals. For example, it can do things like weaken Demons and Vampires during an exorcism, bless those who are attending mass, as well as strengthen the power of an exorcist.

The finally the [Excalibur Ruler] which grants its bearer the power to manipulate any living thing or organic material, allowing them to control the will of their opponents and totally subdue them. She is also able to control legendary creatures, allowing her to subdue transcendental monsters. It is also not limited to living things, but can control any phenomenon, allowing its bearer to manipulate the attacks of others and use them against whomever they wish. It also allows its user to control inorganic materials and inanimate objects.

Knowing the power of Excalibur, Lancelot assumed that during the first onslaught Arthur had used the power of [Excalibur Rapidly] to advance.

And since even a normal human using the power of this sword could reach the speed of a High Class Demon, for Arthur who had immense speed he could reach Satan class.

Besides of course, the immense destructive power was a mixture of the [Excalibur Destruction] and the [Excalibur Ruler], after all the Sacred Sword of Destruction had immense destructive power and the Sacred Sword of Control had the greatest amount of sacred energy.

Lancelot quickly raised Arondight as an intense sacred aura surrounded his sword as he swung at Arthur.

The strong sacred aura shot from the tip of the Knight of the Lake's sword and advanced against Arthur.

Arthur pointed Excalibur at the sacred aura that was advancing against him.

Suddenly the sacred aura stopped in the air to Lancelot's surprise.

"That power... the ability of the [Excalibur Ruler] to control anything, even energy" said Lancelot aloud.

"Exactly" said Arthur smiling.

Using the power of the [Excalibur Ruler] Arthur had gained control of Lancelot's power.

With a swing of his sword Arthur caused Lancelot's energy to be sent flying at him.

The Knight of the Lake swung his sword cutting the sacred energy in half, but when it disappeared Arthur was revealed standing in front of Lancelot with his sword raised.

Lancelot's eyes widened before he raised his sword with all his might cutting Arthur in half.

Shock came over Lancelot's face, however it soon faded as he saw the 'Arthur' in front of him crumble into an illusion.

"An illusion? That power is that of the [Excalibur Nightmare]" thought Lancelot.

Right in front of Lancelot who was keeping his guard down Arthur appeared again and swung his sword at him.

Blood spurted out of Lancelot who widened his eyes as he quickly jumped away.

Looking at his chest he saw that a large gash had appeared, Arthur's Excalibur had pierced his armor like it was nothing.

It was not something fatal, but it would certainly bother him during the battle.

Looking ahead of him, Lancelot stared in surprise when he saw two Arthur's in front of him.

"This is not an illusion" spoke Lancelot getting up.

"No, the [Excalibur Nightmare] can create illusions, but the [Excalibur Mimic] can create copies of its user" said Arthur raising his sword.

Around Arthur several clones of him began to appear, so many that it impressed even Lancelot and Arturia who were watching ning.

"Are these all clones? Or illusions?" pondered Lancelot.

"A mixture of the two, I have not yet mastered the powers of this sword to that extent, so they are both illusions and clones" explained Arthur calmly.

At Arthur's command all the clones and illusions advanced against Lancelot.

The Knight of the Lake raised his sword bathed in pure sacred energy and advanced against his enemy.

The clones and illusions advanced together against Lancelot who prepared himself.

The Knight of the Lake knew that fighting face to face would be dangerous, he couldn't tell the difference between them, plus it would be dangerous to fight so many enemies and not knowing which was real made it worse.

Besides Lancelot himself felt the wound in his chest bothering him.

Increasing the sacred aura of his sword to the maximum he could use, Lancelot swung Arondight which seemed to become an immense cannon of sacred energy.

The cannon of sacred energy moved forward consuming everything in front of him, all clones and illusions had been completely consumed by the sacred energy.

As the aura disappeared, Lancelot breathed heavily while panting heavily.

He had used as much holy energy as he could use, and it put a great strain on his body, in addition to his injury.

But before the Lake Knight could react several roots emerged from the ground to his bewilderment.

In an instant they clamped onto Lancelot's body, immobilizing him, and knocked Arondight out of its user's hand.

Perplexed by the events Lancelot looked forward and then he understood what had occurred.

Arthur was kneeling and panting after creating so many clones and illusions and had Excalibur lying on the ground, but the sword was emanating a strong holy aura.

At that moment Lancelot knew what Arthur had done.

Using the power of the [Excalibur Ruler] to control anything he took control of the roots in the ground and strengthened them with sacred energy to restrain Lancelot who was worn out.
