Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 41

He thought about whether or not to crush her windpipe right there. It would be incredibly easy to end her life.

As much as she tried, Raynare would never be able to kill him. Sure, she can pull off a sneak attack and manage to wound him, but it would take a lot more than a few spears of light to do lasting damage to Issei. On the other hand, Gilgamesh could kill her on a whim.

Personally, Gilgamesh was okay with killing Raynare. It wouldn't be the first time Gilgamesh had crushed someone's neck. He knew Sebas and Enkidu would likely approve of his actions since she attacked him, and if more fallen angels pursued him for killing one of them, he could tell them he was acting in self-defense to avoid any conflict.

"I could kill you right now," he said, putting on a nonchalant air. Raynare's eyes widened, watering a little. She tried to protest, but the sound came out as a high-pitched squeak. "But you humiliated me for a day, so I'll give you a choice."

He cautiously eased out of her body, making sure to avoid stepping on the fallen angel by accident. The moment he left, Raynare gasped, gasping for air, and her hands found her own throat, massaging the spot where Gilgamesh's foot pressed against her windpipe. He sat relaxed at the fountain opposite her.

Thanks to her lack of decent clothing, Gilgamesh saw her leg muscles tighten. With a sigh, Gilgamesh decided to take a chance and carefully extracted a tiny and carefully measured amount of power from the depths within him. He felt his stomach grow pleasantly warm; his eyes glowed reddish red for a brief moment.

When Raynare ran to him, Gilgamesh released a small blast of fire from his mouth. The flames purposely hit her for a few meters, but the plume of fire shot quickly past her and went about twenty feet beyond her. The immense heat, even at a reasonable distance, managed to burn one side of the body, and when the fire hit a streetlamp and dissipated, the metal melted completely.

Raynare's mind took a moment to register what happened. Her feet froze to the ground as if she'd just stepped onto wet concrete. Almost mechanically, Raynare turned to find Gilgamesh looking at her, a shitty grin on his face.

"Still feel like running?" he asked. "You know, this barrier you put up works both ways. I could spend my nice time roasting you to death and no one would know anything. Or alternatively, you could sit back and listen to what I have to say."

Gilgamesh looked at the fallen angel before him. Her legs trembled as she sat down on the floor in front of him - she probably knew she had no chance of getting past his flames. Somehow, watching Raynare shiver under her gaze reminded him of an adorable little rabbit being trapped by a fox. It was interesting to see how scared she was of dying.

"So, Raynare, I believe some reintroductions are in order. Tell me: who are you? Who do you work for?"

With every word he spoke, it felt like Raynare was suffering. Her arms were subconsciously gripping her side where Gilgamesh had thrown a punch, signaling to him that her ribs were definitely broken. Gritting her teeth, the fallen angel said, "My name is Raynare, and I work for the Grigori."

"She didn't speak to the Khaos Brigade, not even Kokabiel. But Grigori is only from the Fallen Angels," Gilgamesh thinks.

Gilgamesh knew that Grigori called themselves the protectors of the children of God, or of humans.

The reason the Fallen Angels attacked Issei was due to his strong Sacred Gear, if it were to go out of control, great chaos and destruction could occur. The moment he became a devil they didn't attack him anymore as he would now be under control.

Already over Asia it was due to the Fallen Angels letting their greed corrupt them.

"Now spill everything."

At Gilgamesh's careful insistence, he learned from Raynare that there was a group of fallen angels stationed in an abandoned church on the outskirts of town. The group was a branch of Grigori composed of Raynare and three other fallen angels named Kalawarner, Mittelt and their supervisor, Dohnaseek. They were also allies of a lost exorcist named Freed Sellzen, and their main objective was to steal Sacred Gears. At the moment, they were trying to steal the Sacred Gear of three people: [Twilight Healing] of an Italian witch, Asia Argento, the Sacred Gear of Issei and the one of Gilgamesh.

"Where's [Twilight Healing]?"

The fallen angel told everything she knew. Apparently, Asia Argento was supposed to arrive in Japan on Wednesday around noon and stay with the fallen angels. An idea began to form in Gilgamesh's mind.

"You can leave now if you want"

Raynare was about to turn and flee, but stopped in the middle of the curve and hesitated. Her violet eyes flashed with fear.

"Aren't you going to kill me?"

"Of course not," Gilgamesh smiled. The expression didn't reach his eyes.

"At least not yet," thinks Gilgamesh.

"You must leave before I change my mind, Raynare"

As he walked away, Gilgamesh had to use all his willpower not to notice the sway of Raynare's barely covered ass or the rhythmic movement of her smooth, toned legs. She was literally wearing a thong, and her ivory skin really contrasted with the dark surroundings, so that task was easier said than done.

Sighing he turned his gaze to Issei.

The boy should already be dead from the damage of the swords, but Gilgamesh imbues some of his power in them to keep him alive but unconscious.

When Gilgamesh got close to him he decided to start.

His eyes changed, taking on a purple hue with black rings around them.

The eyes that belong to a God of Destruction or a God of Creation, the eyes that can control everything in heaven and earth.

The [Rinnegan].

"Let's get started, Arashi, Regulus," said Gilgamesh to his Sacred Gear.

"Yes," said Arashi.

"Right," Regulus said with a grunt.

"What happened, Regulus?" asks Gilgamesh.

"I just didn't want to have to share my space" says the Lion King.

"I understand. Do you mind if I get Ddraig?" asks Gilgamesh.

"If you're okay, I will be," Arashi said.

"Alright, master may continue," said Regulus, earning a nod from Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh placed his hand on Issei's head.

"Ningendo (Human Path)"

With a yank Gilgamesh pulled Issei's soul out of his body, he was totally normal except for his left arm.

In his left arm he had a bubbling red energy, this energy represented the [Boosted Gear].

Placing his hand on it, Gilgamesh pulled it out of Issei's Longinus.

Normally this would be more difficult, even with [Rinnegan] but after spending two years in heaven and with the Angels whose father is the creator of the Sacred Gear System you learn something.

The moment the energy left Gilgamesh placed it close to his chest and into his soul.

"It worked," said Arashi.

"Yes. I feel Ddraig is asleep." said Regulus.

Gilgamesh nodded.
