Gilgamesh in DxD - Chapter 142
🕑 Added 2021-11-27 03:56:35 +0000 UTCArtemis really deserved to be called Goddess of the Bow and Arrow, her dexterity was phenomenal, she fired dozens of arrows with great power at Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh only narrowed his eyes as he activated his [Kenbunshoku Haki] to anticipate each arrow, his [Babylon Gate] opened behind him, a portal for each arrow before the treasures started coming out in great quantities.
The moment the swords, clubs, spears and axes clashed against Artemis' arrows causing explosions throughout the forest.
Gilgamesh was not afraid to fight the Goddess of the Hunt, but he knew that Artemis was dangerous.
Each of her arrows was imbued with a strong divine aura, these arrows could even kill Satan-class beings each.
Artemis was a strong Goddess, absolutely strong.
In the novel she was able to fight Grayfia, a demon possessing power comparable to a Maou, together with Fafnir a Dragon King and with Asia healing them both, and even then Artemis had the advantage.2
When Artemis' arrows and Gilgamesh's treasures stopped being shot it was revealed that part of the forest was now nothing but rubble.
Seeing that her arrows were having no result Artemis quickly dispersed her bow and took two hunting knives from her belt and set out to attack Gilgamesh.
Artemis' explosive speed totally destroyed the tree she was standing on as she charged at Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh at the same time took off on her.
Artemis in one swift movement tried to cut Gilgamesh in half, but the King of Heroes anticipated her move and grabbed Artemis' wrists to his surprise.
"You're pretty strong for a human" said Artemis in surprise.
Gilgamesh only gave a mischievous smile.
"And you are quite weak for a Goddess" said Gilgamesh teasingly as Artemis' gaze darkened.
Artemis quickly tried to strike Gilgamesh but was thrown into the air by him and quickly adjusted her position as she came down on Gilgamesh with a powerful kick
The slap and shockwave was gigantic, shaking the ground and making the earth beneath Gilgamesh crack.
Gilgamesh quickly grabbed the Goddess' leg and threw her against a tree.
Artemis quickly maneuvered herself into the air and when she got her feet on the tree she fired at Gilgamesh to cut him down.
Gilgamesh quickly took off on Artemis and they both began exchanging blows at high speed throughout the forest.
The speed was such that they both became blurs, one golden and one silver.
Gilgamesh frowned as he realized that Artemis was getting stronger and faster with time.
As the two of them walked away Gilgamesh noticed that the glow of the moon was getting stronger and stronger, and then he understood what was happening.
Artemis was the Moon Goddess and so she would get stronger during the full moon night, it would be similar to Gilgamesh's [Sunshine], however it only gave an increase in her physical abilities temporarily, nowhere near as powerful as Gilgamesh's ability.
Artemis quickly prepared her knives while imbuing them with a great silver aura.
Seeing this Gilgamesh quickly summoned a sword.
In an instant a light emerged from Gilgamesh's right hand causing the Moon Goddess to stop for a moment.
The light was unlike any light she had seen so far.
When the light was over, a sword was in Gilgamesh's hand. It was the western sword with a length of ninety centimeters and a width of twelve centimeters.
It was Caliburn, the sword that had the right to choose a King, once wielded by King Arthur to free his country, the weapon that became the symbol of the King of the Knights of England, a sword that had a light that surpassed even that of an Archangel of Heaven.
Artemis quickly fired at Gilgamesh with all possible speed.
Gilgamesh wielded Caliburn before firing at Artemis.
Both began exchanging blows at high speed, Artemis demonstrating surreal skill with her knives and Gilgamesh matching them with his sword.
In one swift movement Gilgamesh threw Artemis away, who scattered her knives and summoned her bow and unleashed countless arrows against Gilgamesh, all imbued with her divine aura.
Gilgamesh simply raised his sword.
Sword of Selection, grant me power! Divide the wicked!
"Caliburn"
A beam of light arose the moment Gilgamesh slid down the Sword of the Victorious, pure power of light and Holy that would kill even Satan in one blow and fired against the thousands of arrows of Artemis.
There was no comparison, the sacred light of Caliburn shot out, annihilating all the arrows and exploding at Artemis, who was wide-eyed.
Artemis simply jumped to dodge the sacred wave of the Sword of the Victorious, which advanced, destroying part of the forest.
Gilgamesh in an instant was in front of Artemis who stared wide-eyed when Gilgamesh lowered Caliburn against her who, thanks to his centuries of experience, managed to narrowly avoid it.
When Artemis landed she couldn't help but be surprised when a large deep cut had appeared on her left arm where blood was leaking out.
Artemis turned her gaze to Gilgamesh and her eyes widened when she saw Gilgamesh with Caliburn raised as he glowed in a sacred aura about to be released.
Artemis tried to move but her eyes widened when she realized that the ground below her had become quicksand preventing her from moving.
Artemis prepared herself for the blow, but her eyes widened as she felt a familiar energy approaching.
Just as Gilgamesh was about to launch Caliburn at Artemis, he stared wide-eyed as he looked up to see dozens of weapons raining down on him.
Gilgamesh quickly jumped away to dodge the rain of steel and unleashed all the accumulated power of the sword against him.
"Caliburn"
A wave of sacred energy shot out at the weapons destroying them.
A few seconds later an explosion appeared next to Artemis as another divine presence was revealed.
When the dust subsided it was possible to see a man who had an overly muscular body. On his head was a Spartan war helmet and strapped to his back was a valuable war hammer. His face was full of scars and an eternal scowl that made him look like some kind of gangster, his eyes were as red as fire.
The man emanated a divine aura that radiated bloodlust and brutal power.
"Looks like you are in trouble Slayer" said the man with a sarcastic smile earning a growl from Artemis.
"What are you doing here Ares?" asked Artemis to the now revealed God of War.
It was Ares the Greek God of War, son of Zeus and his wife Hera and one of the Twelve Chief Gods of Olympus.
"Zeus sent me here as he had bad feelings about this, and it looks like he is right" said Ares with a big smile.
Artemis in one swift movement pulled her leg out of the sand and positioned herself next to Ares.
"It pains me to say this, but to win it we must fight together" said Artemis as she summoned her bow.
Ares simply gave a delighted smile as an aura of flames surged around him as he picked up his warhammer.
Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes as he summoned another sword in his left hand.

Honestly Greek Gods r trespassing into another Faction territory specially without being invited and this fight should definitely gather people attention and honestly I’m looking forward to Zeus reaction when he hears that two of his strongest Gods from his faction gotten there asses kick by human
Mickey
And I am surprised that the Japanese gods allow many gods from other pantheons to come to japan regularly like this, Few chapters ago, the Mesopotamia pantheon sends 2 gods and now the Greek sends another two gods or possibly more. You need to know that divinity is a big thing and I am pretty sure that with the fight a lot of beings in Japan can feel the divinity of the gods.

Why do you need to prolong a fight? He has enkidu chains and gaebole and many other anti divine weapons in his gate of Babylon. I understand if this is just training or sparing but this is almost a life-and-death fight so why don’t he uses something that gives him the benefits but plays along with his enemies. He has memories of his precious life so he should know that carelessness and arrogance are Gilgamesh’s downfall but he still does the same things.
