Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 184

Chapter 184

Sacred Gears is not designed to grant its wearer powerful abilities, it is in fact totally incapable of doing so. The true purpose of Sacred Gears is that of a vessel. They are designed to contain the powers and souls of powerful beings. From an all-powerful dragon to a tiny fairy, a Sacred Gear will trap them within its shell. The abilities they are famous for granting are merely a consequence, nothing more than a side effect of housing these beings.

For example the [Boosted Gear] with Ddraig, if the Celestial Dragon was not sealed within it the Sacred Gear would be nothing more than a useless gauntlet.

The same was true for the [Regulus Nemea], Gilgamesh might be able to copy Regulus' axe but he wouldn't have his abilities due to Regulus granting it to Sacred Gear.

But that didn't mean it was impossible, Gilgamesh was able to create vessels so he only needed the necessary souls to seal into them and grant them power.

However the [True Longinus] is a somewhat special one, it was the spear that pierced Christ as he lay on the cross and thus was blessed by his blood becoming a sacred weapon that was enhanced by the power of the Biblical God that dwelt in Longinus.

Gilgamesh would be able to create a copy of the [True Longinus] with the same abilities as the original the difference is that Gilgamesh's could not perform Balance Breaker and [True Idea], other than that its power would still be useful against dark beings.

Cao Cao smiled at Gilgamesh's speech.

"Yes. My name is Cao Cao, a descendant of the original Cao Cao, the Warlord of the Age of Three Kingdoms. I am the Leader of the Heroic Faction of the Khaos Brigade and possessor of the Supreme Longinus, the strongest of the Thirteen Longinus the [True Longinus]" said Cao Cao smiling.

"So what does the wielder of [True Longinus] want with me?" asked Gilgamesh although he already knew what it was.

"My companions and I want to talk to you" said Cao Cao smiling.

Then the mist around him cleared a bit before revealing five other people.

First out of the mist to Cao Cao's right is a young man with black hair and glasses. Like Cao Cao, he wears a combination of Japanese school uniform (more specifically, the gakuran is worn by Japanese students in the fall) and wears a mage-style tunic over his uniform with a feathered cape.

Gilgamesh acknowledged that he was Georg is the sub-leader of the Heroic Faction and possessor of Longinus: Lost Dimension. He is a descendant of Johann Georg Faust, the man who made a pact with the legendary Devil, Mephisto Pheles.

At Georg's side came a man six feet tall, with a well-built body and shoulder-length gray hair. He wears what appears to be a Japanese school uniform (more specifically, the gakuran uniform usually worn by Japanese students in the fall), covered by what could be Greek-inspired armor.

It was Heracles a member of the Heroes Faction, who carries the spirit of the mythological Greek hero Hercules, as well as user of Sacred Gear [Variant Detonation].

Next to Heracles appeared a short, dark-skinned boy with grayish blue hair and purple eyes. Like other members of the Heroic Faction, he wears a gakuran with a long coat over it.

This had been one of the main reasons that made Gilgamesh leave the Church.

And now they were, here with the Faction of Heroes, Gilgamesh knew they would have to meet again, but he didn't want it that way.

Siegfried gave Gilgamesh a look full of battle thirst, just like Heracles.

Siegfried always made it clear that his desire was to fight and defeat Gilgamesh one day.

Jeanne had a look of longing and sadness, as well as love in her eyes.

Cao Cao had the same confident look, and Georg had an indifferent look.

But the look that surprised Gilgamesh the most was Leonardo's.

The boy's gaze was completely emotionless, it was as if he was only a puppet.

"It's been a long time Gilgamesh" Siegfried said with a small smile.

"It's been a long time Gil" spoke Jeanne with a smile and a small blush on her face.

"Siegfried, Jeanne it's been a long time" said Gilgamesh with a serious look.

Cao Cao then gave a smile and caught Gilgamesh's attention.

"After so long an exciting reunion" said Cao Cao smiling.

"So you are the famous Paladin, huh, you don't look like much to me, you are much weaker than I thought you would be" said Heracles smiling.

Gilgamesh simply narrowed his eyes at him.

"And who are you?"
