Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 109

"... You know, Rias. I am also a devil who carries the name of the House of Phenex behind me. I can't let that name be tarnished. I wouldn't even want to get to a small old building like this in the human world. On the contrary, I don't like the human world very much. The fire and wind of this world are filthy. For a devil like me, who has mastered fire and wind, I can't take it anymore!"

Suddenly flames appear around Riser and begin to be released across the room.

"I will take you back to the underworld, even if I have to burn all the beings here for it" said Riser although he clearly wasn't saying this to Grayfia, he gave Gilgamesh a look.

But suddenly all of Riser's flames were extinguished against his own will, leaving him perplexed.

Everyone's eyes widened at this and they were brought out of their perplexity by a burst of laughter.

When they looked at his source they saw Gilgamesh holding his stomach from laughing so hard.

"You kill everyone here!? And that includes me?! That's ridiculous!" said Gilgamesh as he laughed.

Riser was getting more and more irritated.

"Don't think you're strong just because you have your Sacred Gear, human" said Riser with disgust, "The [Boosted Gear] is certainly one of the invincible and dangerous Sacred Gears. From how you use it, not only me, but you can also defeat a Maou and God. There were a great number of possessors who had it before. But there was no case where he defeated a god or maou. Do you know what that means?"

Riser then laughs very loudly.

"That means that this Sacred Gear is imperfect, and the possessors were also a bunch of weaklings who couldn't use it! You are no exception! How do you say that in the human world again? ... Yes, Pearls to Pigs. Fuhahaha! Yes, pearls to swine! It's about you!" said Riser while.

Gilgamesh could feel Ddraig raging from inside his mind and begging to kill Riser.

Gilgamesh sighed, he couldn't kill Riser now due to him being somewhat useful for his plans, but that didn't mean he couldn't give a warning.

Gilgamesh turned his gaze to Riser who froze when he saw Gilgamesh's gaze that had a draconic glow in them.

The air froze.

No, it was not a metaphor ... the air became stagnant as the feeling of 'death' was permeating everything, the magic in the air was literally frozen when the only thing that was seen was the devilish gleam in Gilgamesh's eyes, his eyes glowing in pure bloodlust that made everyone freeze with fear.

Gilgamesh just held out his finger to Riser and from it and from his finger a golden beam shot through Riser's head.

In the next instant Riser's head was literally blown off as his body fell headless to the ground.

Everyone turned their surprised and even terrified attention to Riser's apparently dead body.

In an instant Riser stood up, now with his head in place, and looked terrified at Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh had to admit that Riser's regeneration was impressive to regenerate his head in a few moments, Gilgamesh also had his regeneration that allowed him to even heal lost limbs, but not his head.

Riser turned his terrified gaze to Gilgamesh, he was lost in Gilgamesh's eyes, for in that moment he saw his death.

In front of him was not Gilgamesh, but a huge red dragon that looked at him boredly as if he was insignificant, and a single roar from the dragon made Riser see his death.

When Riser saw Gilgamesh's eyes he froze.

It was the look of someone who was superior to you in every way, that no matter what you did that person would do better.

It was the look of a King.

An Emperor.

A Supreme Ruler who rules over all beings on earth.

However before anyone could speak a great wave of silver colored demonic power surged over the area, and its source was Sirzechs Lucifer's wife, Grayfia Lucifuge.

"Gilgamesh-sama, Riser-sama, please calm down. If you two continue, then I will not be quiet about it. For Sirzechs-sama's honor, I will not hold back."

Everyone quickly calms down when they hear Grayfia's voice and Riser hides his fear behind his pride.

"... To tell me that for the Strongest Queen, even I would be afraid.... I definitely wouldn't want to fight people from Sirzech-sama's group, which is known to be made of monsters." said Riser as he stood up.

Gilgamesh only gave a glance to Grayfia who shuddered.

"Choose your next words carefully Queen of Annihilation, for she may be your last" said Gilgamesh with a look that made Grayfia recoil instinctively.

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw Grayfia flinch.

Deciding it was better to change the subject Grayfia goes back to her topic as she did not want to face Gilgamesh.

"Master, Sirzechs-sama and those of the House of Phoenix knew it would be like this. To tell the truth, this would be the last discussion meeting. Everyone knew that this would not be resolved, so they decided to make a last resort."

"Last resort? What do you mean Grayfia?"

"Ojou-sama, if you want to take your opinion further, then how about you settle this in a [Rating Game] against Raiser-sama?"

"... !?"

Everyone was surprised by Grayfia's speech, except Gilgamesh who just leaned back on the couch and watched.

"Just as you know, Ojou-sama, only mature Devils can participate in the official [Rating Game]. But if it is an unofficial game among pureblood Devils, even immature Devils can participate. However, in this case ..."

"When it involves family and domestic problems."

Rias continues to speak as he sighed.

"In other words, Otou-sama and the others decided to have a game as a last resort if I were to refuse, right? ... To what extent do they intend to interfere in my life to feel satisfied ...!"

"So, Ojou-sama, are you saying that you would also refuse to participate in the game?"

"No, I won't, since this is a chance. All right then. Let's settle it with a game, Riser."

Riser smiles after Rias' provocative words.

"Hee, so you're accepting. I don't mind. But I am already a mature Devil and have participated in the official game. Now I have won most of the games. Even so, do you still want to play, Rias?"

Riser answered back with even more provocative words. Rias sends back a fearless smile.

"I will. I will finish you off, Riser!"

"Good. If you win, do whatever you want. But if I win, you will marry me immediately."

They both face each other. Both are looking at each other with frightening eyes.

"Understood. I, Grayfia, have confirmed the opinion of both sides. I will be in charge of the game between the two houses. Is that okay?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Understood. I will inform the two families then." said Grayfia.

Riser put his hand on his chin and he seemed to think of something.

"Rias, how about a match in 10 days? We could do that now, but that wouldn't be interesting."

Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow at that, it looked like Riser was not going to show his minions, maybe intimidation would have some effect.

"... You are giving me a disadvantage."

"Are you against that? Is that humiliating? [Rating Game] is not something simple that you can win just with your feelings. If you can't use your servant's power to the maximum, you will lose immediately. So it's not strange that you train with your minions for your first [Rating Game]. I have seen devils who lost without using their power to the maximum countless times, no matter how great their potential and power was. "

Rias does not complain and listens in a low voice to what Riser said. When Riser directs his palm to the ground, the magic circle begins to glow.

"-10 days. If that's you, then you should be able to improve your servants."

"Rias, the next time we meet will be in the game."

Saying that, Riser disappears into the light of the magic circle.

Rias sighed after Riser was gone and looked at Gilgamesh, she swallowed her pride and spoke.
