《Gilgamesh In DxD》Chapter 20
Advertisement
As he lay on the ground trying to catch his breath from the brutal blows exchanged, he saw a flash in the corner of his eye as Gilgamesh leapt inhumanly high into the air just above Sairaorg.
"Busoshoku Kouka!" yelled Gilgamesh as the entirety of his left arm took on a black metallic sheen, which he recoiled fully as he descended to the ground, exactly where Sairaorg's head was.
You didn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what would happen next. Luckily for Sairaorg, he had enough wherewithal to spread his wings at the last moment and speed the hell out of there, while Gilgamesh opened his fist where Sairaorg's head used to be.
"Extreme earthquake!" roared Gilgamesh as his fist connected with the ground, sending shock waves across the surface before the ground cratered deep with huge chunks of rock and dirt flying through the air as the ground was completely obliterated. Sairaorg, from his position in midair, had a drop of sweat running down his face as he witnessed the arbitrary destruction caused by a single punch. He wondered if this was how people felt when they looked at him.
"Hahaha, you really are something else. I haven't been pressured like this since my childhood," said Sairaorg with a big smile.
"I can still see you hesitating. Don't you have someone important you're fighting for? Wouldn't she want you to show all your magnificent strength with the same body she gave her? You don't need the power of destruction! Your body is destruction personified! Why wait for a power that can never match your fists! I recognize you as the True Great King, so show me what you've got. Show me your determination. That's the fight these people came to see. Great King Vs the King of Heroes! Let's tear this place down," Gilgamesh shouts loudly.
Sairaorg had always been someone Gilgamesh had respect and he knew what Bael had suffered for not being born with the Bael clan bloodline, if he could help someone he respects he would do that.

Sairaorg, for his part, felt as if a great burden had been lifted from her shoulders. His opponent, no Gilgamesh was right. He got to this point eliminating all the obstacles that stood in his way, without fear of anything. The thought of his beloved mother and the sacrifices she made for him echoed in his mind. Her eyes got a little misty as he thought of her and decided she wanted him to live his life freely and not get bogged down by silly politics. If he loses support today, he will rebuild from the bottom up. He felt his resolve harden as he finally felt free of the metaphorical shackles he had placed on himself. He decided it was time to honor his mother and the clan she came from.
"Gilgamesh, your words resonated with my soul. I feel freer than I have in a long time. I will reward you with all my might! Prepare yourself!" Declared Sairaorg.
A dazzling light spread across the field. Because of its intense light, when the light faded it was possible to see Sairaorg covered in an unusual amount of Touki throughout her body to the point of creating an armor of his life force.
With Sairaorg's every step the battlefield trembled before the gigantic strength of Sairaorg with his Touki aura weighing all over the place.
Before, Sairaorg's power that was in the Ultimate Class Realm fired to the point of entering the Satan Class.
Seeing the power pouring out of Sairaorg, Gilgamesh chuckled happily to himself. In fact, he was becoming a battle freak. He should calm down a little when he gets home.
"Wonderful! You really are the real deal, Sairaorg. You have my respect. Let me show you the only way I know how" exclaimed Gilgamesh happily as he increased his power.
Around Gilgamesh a great golden aura emerged causing its power to soar to the point if everyone found it difficult to even breathe.

"Let's do it, Sairaorg!" roared Gilgamesh as the two attacked each other.
They met in the middle when their fists met in a clash that shook the foundations of the arena and sent shock waves through the air. The disengaged and plunged once more into another mighty clash. And so on, they tried to dominate each other. Fists and feet were flying as they fought for dominance.
As more hits, the connected blood began to fly from the concussive impact of the blows. Now it was a battle of endurance and willpower. All tricks and elegance were thrown out the window. It was about who could outlast the other. More and more hits arrived as the muffled sounds reverberated throughout the arena. Bones could be heard creaking with the power of the hits.
The two competitors were reeling as they dug into the tank for their last attack. When Sairaorg came forward with a brutal punch, Gilgamesh activated his [Weapon Haki] one of the few times in the match and saw the trajectory of the blow and dodged it at the last minute before raising his arm.
"Busoshoku Kouka" He whispered as the entire left arm of his armor turned black.
Sairaorg was too exhausted to get out of the way when he saw the attack take place.
"You beat Gilgamesh today. Thank you for a wonderful fight and for showing me the light once again." These were Sairaorg's last thoughts when Gilgamesh's haki raised the fist connected to his sternum, knocking him out. When his back hit the ground, his armor dissipated.
Everyone was silent as they were still shocked by the sheer impact and level of the battle.
Kuisha seeing his unconscious [King] quickly went to him.
Looking up she saw Gilgamesh's face looking down at her and couldn't help but blush.
"He's fine just unconscious" said Gilgamesh as he reached down and touched Sairaorg's body and used his [Healing] ability while a small green aura surrounded Sairaorg's body healing any wounds.
Gilgamesh was also surrounded by this aura while all the wounds on his body disappeared.
Kuisha quickly waved to Gilgamesh and made a magic circle beneath her and Sairaorg making them disappear.
Using his [Observation Haki] Gilgamesh sensed a large amount of beings, who by the aura were human, Fallen Angels and Devil watching them, but could not intervene due to Sebas' barrier.
Speaking of Sebas, he and Enkidu approached Gilgamesh who gave a nod that all was well.
Looking at the exorcists, who were still stunned, Gilgamesh gave a wave before disappearing into a magic circle
Siegfried and Jeanne didn't even know how they were going to explain this to the Church.
But one thing they were going to have to say.
A descendant of the King of Heroes has emerged.
*Later.*
*With Gilgamesh.*
Gilgamesh was now sitting on a sofa in a hotel just minutes away from where the battle had taken place.
In front of him were Sebas serving tea and the Lion King of Nemea who agreed to become the Sacred Gear of Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh saw that Regulus had a nervous look in his eyes due to Enkidu being on top of him hugging him.
Gilgamesh can't help but feel sorry for Sairaorg for losing his Longinus.
"Sebas" Gilgamesh called the butler who already knew what he wanted.
"Your trip has been authorized, we leave today for Romania," said the butler, making Gilgamesh's smile grow.
It was time to get the Sacred Calice of the Vampires.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
