Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 269

The competitors in the Young Devil's Gathering.

"So of I'm not mistaken you are seventeen, the right age to participate" said the First Great King, "So will you fight or run?"

However before Gilgamesh could answer.

"What nonsense" said a voice taking everyone's concentration away.

When everyone turned their attention they saw Achilles standing calmly beside Gilgamesh while leaning on his shoulder.

"What do you mean." asked Zekram narrowing his eyes slightly.

"What I mean is why should our leader have to prove himself to a decrepit old man who thinks he is above everyone? You can't even pose any threat as well as these young demons" said Achilles calmly.

It was amazing how the hall was immersed in a deep silence.

Neither Sirzechs nor Zekram were able to speak because of their surprise.

After all Achilles had offended the Great King of the underworld like it was nothing.

"What do you have in mind, Achilles?" asked Gilgamesh calmly with a small smile making everyone turn their attention to them.

"It's simple leader, you don't need to participate in such clowning, the rest of us can take care of any nobility of the demons and that would prove our power" said Achilles calmly.

Gilgamesh smiled at the shocked looks on everyone's faces, "Well that's a good idea, so how about Zekram if my group fights there should be no objections, correct?" asked Gilgamesh with a wicked smile.

Even with his anger burning Zekram gave a gentle smile, "Yes I agree" said the demon before turning to the young demons, "But I believe that only a strong Nobility can challenge your group, so how about before this battle we see some young people fighting, like the heiress Gremory and Astaroth" the moment Zekram said the eyes of the two mentioned widened.

Sirzechs and Ajuka turned their gaze in fury to the older devil, "What do you mean?" asked Sirzechs.

"Well, both are sisters of the Maous so they would be worthy opponents and also so they can show some of the power of the new generation" said Zekram smiling pleasantly.

Sirzechs gritted his teeth before agreeing, "Very well, Rias and Rin, do you agree to face each other?" asked Sirzechs.

The two looked at each other before nodding.

"Alright, the winner will face the King of Heroes Faction" said Zekram calmly.

"The date of the competition will be August 20 of the human world. You can take your time as you wish until then. The details will be given later" Sirzechs said calmly while giving Zekram a look.

"But we still won't be able to see the power of the King of Heroes, what a shame" said Zekram with pretense.

"Actually I have an idea" said Sirzechs getting everyone's attention "One of the young men won't be able to offer a good battle for him, so I guess since he is also the leader of a Faction he should face a worthy opponent"

"What do you mean Sirzechs?" asked Ajuka from beside him.

"What I mean is that I will fight him" said Sirzechs for all to hear.

An immense silence was present in the hall as the falling of a pin could be heard.

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes at Sirzechs, the Crimson Demon King seemed to have forgotten what happened in their last meeting.

"What are you planning Sirzechs?" Gilgamesh mentally wondered.

"So what do you think Gilgamesh?" asked Sirzechs with a slight smile on his face.

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes before smiling, "Very well Sirzechs, I agree, but don't regret it later" said Gilgamesh smiling.

The Crimson Demon King challenged the King of Heroes to a battle.

And in a fight of a hero against a demon only one of them could come out the winner.

"I see, so it will be a confrontation between the Gremory group and Astaroth?" asked Azazel.

A few hours after the Young Demon Meeting had ended everyone had returned to the Gremory house, both the Nobility of Rias and the Avalon Faction who were currently all in a room while talking to Azazel who had greeted them when they arrived.

"Today is July 28th in the human world. So we have almost 20 days until departure day" Azazel said as he fiddled with his cell phone.

"I-Is that training?" asked Issei and Azazel nodded.

"But of course. I plan to have you guys start from tomorrow. I have already made the training list for each of you" he informed looking at the Gremory group.

"But is it okay for only us to take advice from the Governor of the fallen angels? Isn't that foul play?" asked Issei again.

However, Azazel just sighed.

"Not really. Did you know that I intend to give information to several people on the side of the demons? They also said that the angels will be doing something similar. The rest depends on the young demons' own pride. If they, from the bottom of their hearts, want to become stronger and increase their capacity, they will gladly accept the help."

"Even my Vice-Governor is giving advice to each of the families. Hahaha! Shemhazai's advice might even be more useful than mine!"

"Well, all right. Meet in the garden tomorrow morning. I'll go over the training methods for each of you. Be ready."

[Yes!]

As everyone was getting excited, Azazel turned his gaze to Gilgamesh who was sitting quietly on a couch with his companions around him.

"So, what are you going to do Gilgamesh?" asked Azazel as all attention turned to the King of Heroes.

Azazel was really curious to know what Gilgamesh and his group were going to do.

Soon after the battle of Rias against Rin Astaroth Gilgamesh's group would have to fight the winner and Gilgamesh himself would fight Sirzechs Lucifer.

"Besides killing the author for taking over a month to write a chapter, if not I could have finished this clowning around before" thought the King of Heroes.

"A little training before the battles and some strategies, there are some things I want to see and also help Valerie and Leonardo develop their power more" said Gilgamesh sighing.

"I understand, if you want I can help with their training, especially the Longinus users" said Azazel trying to hide his animation.

The Ruler of the Fallen Angels wanted very much to be able to study the Longinus that was with Gilgamesh and his group.

To be able to study the [Annihilation Maker] that was with Leonardo, and the two Sacred Relics, the [Sephiroth Grail] and the [Incinerator Anthem] that was with Valerie and especially those that were with Gilgamesh.

For example how strong would be the effects of the Longinus-class Sacred Gear that was being wielded by a demigod, and the effect of five of them on the same body as well as the [Telos Karma] and [Innovate Clear], two of the most unknown Sacred Gear.

The King of Heroes let out a laugh at this knowing what Azazel wanted, but he didn't care.

"Feel free to help and study Sacred Gear, we are allies aren't we?" spoke Gilgamesh with a mysterious smile that Azazel did not let go unnoticed.

"Indeed." said Azazel smiling, although he still had his doubts about it.
