Gilgamesh in DxD Chapter 68

Having to move to dodge a punch the girl threw in his direction, but hard enough to throw him against the furniture.

Mordred quickly grabbed Clarent and launched himself at the priest who clutched his sword and at a speed imperceptible to normal eyes disappeared.

Unfortunately for the priest, Mordred wasn't normal, moving her greenish eyes she was able to grab the priest's legs as he moved behind him as he kicked the floor quickly, reached the ceiling above and kicked him to catapult himself and deliver a blast. ax in Mordred's back. However, King Arthur's daughter quickly moved Clarent to intercept Father's sword.

Sparks and a small explosion appeared as the two warriors collided, the furniture in the area they were in was blasted as if a grenade had just been thrown into the room as the floor shattered and spread in all directions.

As they faced off, there seed to be a slight pause as the two warriors asured their opponent's skills as their swords sharpened against each other.

The priest was kind of good, Mordred admitted that, his strength should be rank D or E by servant standards, but what he has far more is his speed and his sword technique. But of course if Mordred had 100% she could easily destroy the priest, but that's not the case, after all she's been training in the dungeon for over 12 hours, plus she still has so remnants of Bararaq Saiqa from Gilgash.

anwhile, the priest showed a stoic face from the outside, while he was quite surprised inwardly at the girl's skill. She was not only fast enough to match whoever wielded Excalibur Rapidly, but she was also strong enough to withstand the entire onslaught. And her skills with her sword might be even better than most of her students. Was this girl a supernatural being? No, she was clearly human, she could feel the aura she radiated was completely human, but how could she be so strong if that was the case?

After ti returned, Mordred pushed the priest away and the Church man landed as he skidded to the ground. A short ti later, he kicked the ground again and made a quick piercing attack on Mordred.

Quickly Mordred raised his sword and defended the priest's which ended up being slightly open, taking advantage of this Mordred moved Clarent to attack the priest who managed to kick the ground to avoid being cut.

Both prepared to go against each other but stopped when they felt a great magical power engulf the area.

Looking at the door, Mordred and the Priest see Enkidu, Sebas and Gilgash standing there looking at them.

And they weren't happy if Gilgash's gaze ant anything.

Then it ca in waves of power through the crimson eyes of Gilgash.

It was like an animal cornered by its predator. The overwhelming fear and the feeling that he was close to death were enough to make the prey act in desperation, attacking its predator with everything it had.

The priest felt that way. That's why his hand and his body moved. It was his primal instinct and nature that made him move like that, recognizing the boy in front of him as his predator.

Due to the fear the priest felt he reacted, by pure instinct he set off towards Gilgash with his Excalibur fragnt.

But when the sword is within an inch of Gilgash's head, it stops.

The priest widened his eyes as he felt his body being chained and immobilized while Enkidu had his hand raised.

Gilgash just puts his hand around the priest's neck and starts squeezing.

"Give a good reason why I shouldn't kill you now..." said Gilgash, staring with his crimson eyes at the priest who at that mont felt a fear he had never felt before.

"Wait wait!"

Gilgash blinked as Asia suddenly appeared between him and the priest, the girl's expression quite troubled.

"P-please don't fight anymore!" Asia said with a sad face. "D-can't we just talk about it?" She asked, turning to the priest "Valerie-chan said Father is here to take back to the Church, right? T-So wouldn't it be better if we talked about this first?"

The eyes of Gilgash and everyone else showed a little surprise at the information from the Church that they wanted Asia to return. Of all things, they never thought that this would be the reason the priest ca here.

"It depends..." said Gilgash.

"I'm willing to talk and would have done it first, but to see this Priest who attacked blatantly..." He let it sink into the man who showed signs of so regret on his face before it was replaced by a calm look.

"I'm sorry for this." The priest grunted and he lowered his sword to show he didn't want to fight anymore. "If this can be resolved peacefully, I am also willing to talk about it so that there is no violence." He said and Gilgash noted that the man's tone was sincere and honest.

In a quick movent the chains that held him disappear and the Padre keeps his Excalibur in its scabbard.

Gilgash looking around seeing the entire house destroyed gives Mordred a look that turns his eyes away.

Sighing Gilgash raises his right hand where a small blue sphere appears with several symbols around it.

"Ti Magic: Temporal Regression" whispers Gilgash when casting the [Ti Magic] spell.

Slowly everything around starts to change until it assus its original form leaving everyone in shock.

Gilgash sits on the sofa in front of him with Enkidu and Valerie sitting together and Mordred and Asia on the sofa beside him while Sebas stands behind Gilgash standing, the priest also sits on the sofa in front of Gilgash.

Looking closely at the Father's face, Gilgash rembers who he is.

"It's been a long ti, Ewald Cristaldi," says Gilgash with narrowed eyes.

The priest too, putting his feelings aside, recognized who was in front of him.

"Yes, it's been a long ti [Paladin] Gilgash," says the Priest looking at Gilgash.

The tension in the room was so great, if you doubt it, it could even be cut with a knife.

Of all the things that could happen this was not expected.

Never had Gilgash imagined that the Church would send anyone to fetch Asia.

After all although Asia has her title as [Holy Maiden] this is not very unusual, after all this title is given to those who have talents with healing, whether bloodline or Sacred Gear, so there must be a hundred of them.

And Gilgash did not imagine that soone like Ewald Cristaldi was sent right away.

This man is a legend, he has no Sacred Gear or bloodline, only his great affinity with holy swords and his talents with them, and yet he was able to defeat an Ultimate Class devil alone, and soone who is considered equal to Vasco Strada.

A good sample of his power is in the novel where he was able to fight and beat Yuuto Kiba, Xenovia, Griselda Quarta, Sona, Irina and Dulio alone.
