Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 285

With Arthur and Arturia versus Lancelot and Siegfried.

Back in the battle between the swordsmen you could see immense tension in the air.

No one had moved, Arthur and Lancelot stared at each other as they measured each other's power, and Siegfried stared calmly at Arturia.

And the first to advance was precisely the descendant of the hero who killed the Dragon Fafnir.

Siegfried raised his sword, Balmung 2, and advanced against Arturia.

The warrior advanced at a surprising speed for someone of his size and stature, he simply kicked the ground and fired at Arturia.

The latter reacted in time, raising her Excalibur, which was covered by [Invisible Ar], and calmly defended the blow.

An intense shockwave was generated by the power of the two combatants.

Arturia in one beautiful movement slid his sword through Siegfried's while shortening the distance.

Seeing this Siegfried quickly retreated to avoid the blow, but he still swung again Balmung 2 that was covered with deep blue magical energy at Arturia.

Even in motion, with a dexterity worthy of the "King of Knights," Arturia ducked dodging the blow while quickly swinging Excalibur at Siegfried.

The descendant of the Nordic hero deflected just in time as he took his distance.

However, looking at her cheek, Siegfried saw that a small cut met her, something that had overtaken even her [Dragon Blood Armor].

"That sword of hers is a problem, the fact that she is invisible already makes it hard to dodge, but to be able to penetrate my defense like that" thought Siegfried as he analyzed Arturia.

Arturia was also doing the same to him, the "King of the Knights" felt impressed with the skills of the man in front of him.

However he still had much to improve, he relied too much on his physical strength and endurance, advancing without worry, his skills also did not compare to those of the true Heroic Spirit Siegfried.

It was really as Gilgamesh had said, they didn't even compare to the true heroic spirits.

Arturia in one swift movement raised her sword, causing Siegfried to be on his guard.

And then she advanced at a rapid rate of fire.

Siegfried's eyes widened as Arturia suddenly appeared in front of him and struck out with Excalibur.

Even so, the descendant of the Nordic hero raised his sword just in time to defend Arturia's blow.

Even so, the pressure of the blow was so great that Siegfried was forced to retreat.

Without giving the man time to think, Arturia explosively increased his mana, generating a strong tornado-like wind wave against Siegfried.

The descendant of the Nordic hero could not react as he was violently sent flying away.

Deciding to end this at once, Arturia raised his sword and aimed at Siegfried.

Wind exploded from the Knight's sword, the entire barrier seemed to have been shaken by the force of the wind. It screamed and roared like a beast that had broken free from its prison. They all came together and merged and became a hurricane that easily equaled the powerful natural disaster under a single blow of the Sacred Sword.

An immense kinetic wave explosion was created, shockwaves coursing through the entire battlefield. The ground under the violent forces flattened and crumbled as if a giant just stepped on them.

Then Arturia released his power.

"Strike Air: Hammer of the King of Winds"

An immense tornado emerged from the tip of Excalibur advancing against Siegfried, who can only try to defend himself, uselessly, from the attack.

The tornado of pure power struck Siegfried sending him flying away.

The [Invisible Air] not only serves as cover for Excalibur, but can also be used as a projectile that launches a hurricane capable of toppling armies and hurling a slab of stone weighing several tons into the air as if it were nothing.

The descendant of the hero who killed Dragon Fafnir can do nothing when he was struck and he succumbed to the power of the "King of Knights".

[A "Knight" of Rin Astaroth-sama withdrew]

Arturia looked at where Siegfried was standing as he disappeared into a blue light.

Slowly Arturia's magical aura calmed down, the wind around her completely returned to normal as she sighed.

Turning her gaze to the descendant of a version of her from that world, Arturia watched the battle of Arthur and Lancelot.

With the two descendants of the Heroes of the Arthurian legends a fierce battle was taking place.

Arthur and Lancelot clashed in the middle of the battlefield, their swords Caliburn and Arondight releasing waves of sacred energy on contact.

In one swift motion, Lancelot swings his sword freeing himself from Arthur who spins in the air as he lands a powerful kick on Lancelot.

The eyes of the descendant of the Lake Knight widened with the force of the blow, more than a normal human should have.

All this was due to Arthur's [Sacred Energy], being a user of a sacred sword Arthur could use this energy at will, however he always used it on his own sword.

But after the intense training he went through, Arthur learned to channel this energy into his body, so he could increase his attributes such as strength and speed, although there was a limit to this, after all the human body had not been created to hold so much holy energy.

Lancelot grunted as he stepped back from the force and prepared another attack, but Arthur was faster.

With a swing of Caliburn Arthur opened a portal in front of him and fired a strong torrent of holy energy.

Lancelot's eyes widened at this, he knew that besides the sacred power Caliburn was the only sword capable of using [Space Manipulation].

The space around Lancelot distorted as several cracks opened up, they surrounded Lancelot and from them emerged several beams of sacred energy.

Lancelot quickly snapped out of his surprise, in one swift movement he swung Arondight releasing a powerful blast of holy energy that nullified Arthur's.

Arthur showed no surprise at the move, the descendant of the King of Knights knew full well of Lancelot's power, and that beating him would not be easy.

In one swift motion Arthur sheathed Caliburn and pulled his other sword from its sheath.

Seeing Arthur put his sword away, Lancelot even thought he had given up, but after seeing Arthur put his hand on the hilt of the other sword, Lancelot knew it was the opposite.

The attention of the descendant of the Perfect Knight was raised to the maximum, unlike Caliburn that Lancelot knew the powers, that did not hold true for this other sword, and so he stood on alert.

Arthur then pulled out his second sword, it has a long enough grip to make it a two-handed sword with a rounded hilt at the end. It also has a gold crossguard that curves slightly forward.

Lancelot's eyes were fully focused, but the moment Arthur took the sword from its sheath he disappeared.

Through his instinct created from several battles, Lancelot raised his sword just in time to defend Arthur's blow.

Arthur came up striking with his sword, Lancelot's eyes widened as a blast of sacred energy surged forth and sent him flying away.
