Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 261

"You love humans, don't you?" asked Gilgamesh calmly.

"Yes. I do love humans, but when it comes to each of them individually, I am relatively well, look, well yes! Very well, I feel it's best to leave some things unsaid" spoke Merlin cheerfully.

Gilgamesh smiled. Despite being a hybrid being, Merlin has never hated humans. Instead, he loves them to such an extent that it is beyond the natural. He loves the world of humans, he loves mischief, and he loves girls. Generally, he is the Flower Wizard who responds to most things with a refreshing smile and a calm expression.

Openly like this, he tends to seem to have a perfectly happy personality, a perfectly happy guy without a single worry, but as Merlin himself is aware of the fact that he is an alien body in relation to human society, he never crosses that last stage ... the wall called friendship. Ultimately, (just like a child who enjoys tasty food), she is always watching over and protecting the world so that humanity can achieve a happy outcome.

... So, if one is looking only at the end result, Merlin is a good and wise man. But inside he is an incubus, a being far removed from humans. He, a being that consumes dreams, can essentially understand human emotions, but cannot really sympathize with them. He is a strange, inhuman being, who only rationally excuses himself inside a dream (dream = an activity of the human mind) and consumes it, and then leaves like an insect. Because of these macroscopic evaluation criteria, perhaps he simply cannot understand the human heart, unable to even know a person's actions or sympathize with them.

"So what is your dream?" asked Gilgamesh as he looked up at the sky.

"A dream? To see how far humans can go" said Merlin as his desire was to watch humanity until the end of time.

"And what will you do when that comes?" asked the King of Heroes.

"After that, I will do as I always do; disappearing completely from everyone's memory. Most other things, I can do without much fuss. But with just that, I can never get used to it" said Merlin in a calm tone.

Gilgamesh smiled quietly.

"You will always have us" said Gilgamesh making Merlin look at him surprised.

"We are not human either: me, Karna and Achilles are part God, Valerie is a Dhampir, Sebas and Tiamat Dragons, and so on. We are not all human, but we still watch and protect humanity. Even if you have no way to stand with humans, you can always stand with us," Gilgamesh said calmly to the Wizard.

Merlin can't help but smile at that.

"Now I understand why Arturia and Mordred like you so much" said Merlin laughing making Gilgamesh stare at him in doubt.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, no need to worry" said Merlin in a playful tone.

Gilgamesh frowned, "What do you mean Merlin?"

"Now, now, you must figure it out yourself master" said Merlin laughing at Gilgamesh's expression.

The Flower Mage had the impression that they would go through great adventures and couldn't help but smile at that.

...

...

The days flew by as Gilgamesh and his group got used to the introduction of two more members.

Achilles was always laughing amusingly at everything and challenging all the members of the group to fights and to test their limits.

Merlin was always at Arturia's side, teasing the King of Knights.

Gilgamesh didn't know what these taunts were about, only that Arturia would look at him, blush, and then grumble.

Gilgamesh had also noticed that Valerie and Merlin had become very friendly and were always discussing various "plans" as they put it.

Gilgamesh had a feeling that if the smiling of the two was any indication, he would regret summoning Merlin and that the King of Heroes would suffer greatly at the hands of the two.

Currently everyone was in the dungeon while training.

Arturia was training Arthur in swordplay and Merlin was helping them, and the Flower Mage had been very surprised that there was a version of King Arthur of this world and he was a man and used this to provoke Arturia.

Merlin was also helping Le Fay with his magic training, you can say what you want, but Merlin was a genius of magic who managed to learn several difficult magic formulas in a short time.

Achilles was helping Valerie in hand-to-hand combat with Tiamat and Fenrir, and Mordred was training Xenovia since both had similar styles.

Enkidu was helping Leonardo with his training and Asia as well.

Gilgamesh smiled to see his friends all well.

The King of Heroes' attention was drawn to his cell phone that rang causing the King of Heroes to answer it.

"Hello" spoke Gilgamesh.

"Yo, Gilgamesh" said a voice that Sekiryuutei recognized.

"How did You get my number Azazel?" asked Gilgamesh seriously to the Leader of the Fallen Angels.

"Don't be like that, I came to talk about something important"

"What?"

"Rias and his Nobility along with me are going to the Underworld as there will be the Young Demon Gathering and some other matters related to the four Factions, and so I was wondering if you want to come along with your friends?" asked Azazel calmly.

"Where do I need to go?" asked Sekiryuutei.

"At the train station tomorrow" said Azazel.

"Very well" said Gilgamesh hanging up the phone not caring about Azazel and what he was about to say.

The King of all Heroes could not help but smile.

He had the impression that the next few days would be interesting.

A Day Later.

Train Station.

Soon after Azazel's call the King of Heroes relayed the message to all his friends.

Everyone had already agreed to this and had prepared their bags and items that would take them to the Underworld, with Achilles s Merlin especially looking forward to getting to know the Underworld.

Gilgamesh had also told his friends that if any demon tried to recruit them they were allowed to kill.

And this led to where Gilgamesh and his friends were currently going towards the train station that they would use to go to the Underworld.

Although the train station was also used by normal people, it could lead to the Underworld, but only those who knew how.

Gilgamesh and his friends headed for the nearby elevator that had a maximum support of five people, so there were three to four trips.

Using a special card he had descended to the underground floor

It was an exclusive path for demons. Ordinary humans cannot get there even if they try all their lives.

When they arrived they seemed to be in an underground cavern, it was so large that it was impossible to see the end, and several coats of arms of the Gremory clan and of Sirzechs Lucifer were scattered all over the place, and further on there were train tracks.

Gilgamesh and his group walked for a few more meters until they saw several modern train cars and in front of them were his fellow travelers.

Azazel was standing in front of the cars and he was wearing a dark blue knee-length blazer with a lighter blue shirt, a black waistcoat and a red tie. He wore faded purple pants and black dress shoes.
