The Holy Knight of DxD

Chapter 39: Camelot (Part 2)

Man or woman, nothing changed in Gilgamesh's personality. Mistake or not, she is just like her male counterpart. She still remained the greatest Tyrant in Human history.

Her past was the same as her male version. She had denied the gods as useless and had taken possession of every treasure of mankind. The tool created by the God Anu, which was to bind her to the gods had instead become her only friend, and it was the contrast with the Goddess Ishtar that had led to Enkidu's death and her wish to defeat death.

Saying that she came to get him meant that she wanted to add Y/N to her huge collection.

"May I know how you found me, King of Heroes?" Y/N asked while projecting Kanshou and Bakuya.

Gilgamesh was among the first Servants to answer his summons and honestly, Y/N already knew that it would end badly. Unlike many, however, she was also extremely useless because, as he knew, she had never been on the battlefield until now. Even PENDRAGON agreed to help Y/N despite his apparent hatred for him.

"I can answer that."

Rider abandoned spiritual form. He wore his full armour, including the helmet that prevented reading his servant's parameters.

"Who are you?" King Arthur asked.

Rider snapped his fingers to alter the gravity around Arthur and crush him to the ground.

"Learn your place, brat," Rider said coldly before turning his full attention to Gilgamesh and Enkidu. "Did you think I didn't realise you had intruded on my spell?"

Gilgamesh opened several gates. "How would you know?"

"Clay... that's it," Rider replied, pointing to Enkidu.

Since he was the same Gilgamesh he had known in life, Rider knew that there was a treasure that made him able to make him totally invisible. It was the Hades' Cap of Invisibility, a Noble Phantasm that allowed the wearer to hide from sight and conceal their magical signature.

But given what Rider was, he had smelled Enkidu's perfume and so had decided to follow Tamamo into the past to prevent the "golden bastard" (as he had affectionately nicknamed Gilgamesh in his life) before they could destroy human history.

"You used the magic that Irene gave me at the end of her life and this is an affront that I will not let go unpunished," Rider said; his voice, as muffled as it was by the helmet he was wearing, oozed all his seriousness.

Gilgamesh smiled arrogantly as he opened the Gate of Babylon, his main Noble Phantasm that stored all the prototypes of Noble Phantasm.

"Gil?"

[Rider?]

"Don't get involved!"

Answering at the same time, Gilgamesh and Rider attacked with their weapons. The "arrows" fired from the Gate of Babylon collided with Rider's projected weapons, resulting in a clash that scattered them throughout the room.

"Heavenly Dragon's Roar."

Gilgamesh grimaced as the shields she had summoned to her protection were shattered by Rider's breath, forcing her to call her strongest shield: the Shield of the Gods.

Merlin was quick and opened a magic circle that led them out of the castle.

"My Liege, I beg your forgiveness," a light-haired knight rushed in and bowed before Arthur. "We couldn't stop them."

Arthur closed his eyes as he saw the unilateral slaughter that had happened. Many of his knights had lost their lives, slain by Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm.
