Chapter 281
Some Time Later.
Some time after the battle, if it could be called that, between the Nobility of Rias Gremory and that of Rin Astaroth was over, everyone returned to the party hall.
Rias' group with her was in the infirmary to treat their injuries that they had suffered in the battle.
And now it was possible to see Gilgamesh and his group, the Avalon Faction, inside a large living room as they discussed the plans for the battle against Rin Astaroth.
The battle between the members of the Avalon Faction and the Nobility of the heiress Astaroth was only supposed to take place the next day, but Rin had insisted on it taking place today because none of the members of her Nobility possessed fatigue.
Gilgamesh couldn't help but think that Rin really was looking forward to their battle, Rin herself had shown a desire to fight Gilgamesh when they first met.
Although Gilgamesh himself could not participate in the fight, and that made the King of Heroes disappointed, but he had to prepare for the battle he would have against the Maou Sirzechs Lucifer.
"So Gil, how are we going to do everything?" asked Valerie getting everyone's attention.
Gilgamesh sighed turning his attention back to everyone who also paid attention to their leader.
"Well, first who will participate will be Enkidu, Mordred, Valerie, Arturia, Arthur, Merlin, Achilles, Karna, Tiamat, Xenovia and Fenrir" said Gilgamesh calmly.
The King of Heroes' eyes turned to Asia and Leonardo.
"You two are not going to participate yet, this battle is not something for your level" said Gilgamesh calmly.
"Understood" said Leonardo calmly.
"Ok" said Asia smiling innocently.
Then the Strongest Sekiryuutei turned to his friends
"Now let's get to the plans against your enemies" said Gilgamesh gaining everyone's attention.
Gilgamesh had already told his companions about the abilities of his enemies, especially telling the Heroic Spirits that Rin's servants were only descendants of the originals.
"First, Tiamat" said Gilgamesh getting the dragoness' attention, "You must under no circumstances face Ingvild Leviathan."
The seriousness in Gilgamesh's voice took everyone by surprise.
"Her Sacred Gear is not..." said Tiamat as she crossed her arms.
She as well as the rest of the Avalon Faction knew about Ingvild's Sacred Gear because of Gilgamesh.
The Sacred Gear [Nereid Kyrie], one with the potential to become a High Level Longinus, gave its user the ability to control the seas and oceans freely and could even drown an entire country.
Its second ability, on the other hand, was the power to enslave Dragons to the will of its possessor, as well as render them powerless or empower them. It also grants the user an instinctive knowledge of dragons and can be used to put them to sleep.
Gilgamesh knew that in cannon, even after having just awakened his Sacred Gear Ingvild had managed to neutralize Issei in his Crimson Armor, and even put Ddraig to sleep.
So the King of Heroes should expect her from this world to be at an even higher level, even more so since this Sacred Gear had the potential to control even Great Red and Ophis.
Gilgamesh could assume that even if Ingvild could not control Tiamat, she should at least be able to put the Dragon King to sleep.
"Yes, her Sacred Gear is dangerous for you, honestly even I don't know what would happen to me if I fell victim to her attack" Gilgamesh said calmly.
Even though he had completely mastered the [Boosted Gear] the King of Heroes didn't know what would happen if he was targeted by the [Nereid Kyrie].
She might weaken him a little, but Gilgamesh doubted that she could do more than that.
"Don't worry Gil, I'll take care of her" Valerie said firmly drawing everyone's attention.
Gilgamesh's surprised eyes turned to Valerie with concern.
But seeing the determined look on the Dhampir's face he smiled.
"Very well I count on you" Gilgamesh said calmly as Valerie nodded.
Gilgamesh's eyes turned to the son of the Sun God.
"Karna, you take care of Esdeath, I believe you are the most fit to fight her" said Gilgamesh calmly.
"Understood" said Karna unopposed.
He had heard of the power of the "Ice General" from his master, and thought it would be worth fighting Esdeath.
"Gilgamesh" said Arthur catching Gilgamesh's eye, "If you don't mind I wish I could fight Lancelot."
Gilgamesh blinked in surprise before nodding, Arthur was probably wanting to fight his former friend.
"Okay, be my guest" Gilgamesh said receiving a nod from Arthur.
Gilgamesh turned his attention back to everyone.
"Now when you finish a battle leave to help others, I want to see a victory" said Gilgamesh smiling.
"And you better account for the Maou Crimson Master" said Achilles laughing.
Gilgamesh smiled.
"I will" said the Strongest Exorcist smiling.
"Now I think everything is ready, your battle is about to begin" said Gilgamesh.
Everyone nodded and in the next instant they were teleported to the battlefield.
Sighing Gilgamesh stood up and went towards the other leaders to see the fight.
On the Battlefield.
When the light that had appeared covering the members of the Avalon Faction disappeared it was revealed that the whole environment around them had changed.
Those who were chosen to fight; Enkidu, Valerie, Mordred, Arturia, Achilles, Merlin, Le Fay, Xenovia, Karna, Tiamat, Fenrir and Arthur were looking directly at the battlefield.
The battlefield was very diverse, the members of the Avalon Faction were standing on a large mountain that overlooked the rest of the battlefield.
There were large forests, several mountains scattered around the battlefield, and there were also large plains all over the green area.
"How big" said Achilles whistling impressed, the battlefield was much bigger than a city.
"It's really interesting the magic they use to create that dimension" said Merlin, in one of his rare serious moments.
"Indeed, Merlin-sama" said Le Fay in agreement.
Merlin only smiled, happy that someone shared the same point of view as he did.
"You overestimate him too much" said Arturia sighing as Merlin earned a defeated look.
"Okay, enough talk, let's get ready" said Valerie getting everyone's attention.
Soon Grayfia's voice made itself present.
[To all, on this occasion, I, the [Queen] of the Lucifer group, Grayfia, will be being the judge in the "Rating Game" between the members of the Avalon Faction and the Nobility of Rin Astaroth-sama]
[The battlefield will be one of the great forests of the Underworld, created from an artificial dimension, its size is a few times larger than the city of Kuoh. There will be no special rules, no "Promotions". Whoever totally eliminates the enemy team first wins]
After I finished explaining Grayfia's voice came out for the last time.
[So, if there are no doubts you can start]
As the words left Grayfia's mouth a large signal rang signaling the start of the battle.
"Then let's move forward!" shouted Mordred excitedly.
"Do you at least know where the enemies are?" asked Tiamat raising a curious eyebrow.
Everyone looked at Mordred only to see the girl blush in embarrassment.
"She doesn't know" they all thought at the same time.
"Let's be practical" said Enkidu getting everyone's attention.
Enkidu knelt down and closed his eyes as he placed his right hand on the ground.
Letting out a slow sigh a small pulse of power came out of Enkidu's hand going directly to the ground.
Opening his eyes a smile formed on the face of the "Weapon of the Gods".
"I found them all" said Enkidu surprising Merlin and Achilles, the only ones who hadn't seen him in action yet.
