🕑 Added 2021-11-05 03:11:46 +0000 UTCRiser's eyes widened. Where the blade had cut his arm was not regenerating. Where his right arm should have been, there was only a stump that stopped just above the elbow. Everyone in the room began to understand the event that had just occurred: Gilgamesh had somehow completely disabled the House of Phenex's famous regeneration ability. Riser, who was beginning to realize this for himself, fell to his knees as he looked at the stump of his arm.
He quickly looked back and saw the sword that had cut him disappearing into golden dust.
"What is that...?" speaks Riser perplexed.
"Your arm will never regenerate again Phenex" said Gilgamesh getting Riser's attention "This is not just any weapon, it is Harpe the weapon that was given by the Greek God Hermes to the great hero Perseus to kill Medusa, a weapon with the ability to kill immortals" said Gilgamesh making everyone's eyes widen.
Immortal Scythe: Harpe is a divine sword from Greek mythology used by Perseus to slay the Gorgon Medusa and one of the many weapons inside Gilgamesh's [Babylon Gate]. It is described as a sacred sword that kills monsters with a special scythe-like shape, having the cutting edge on the inner side of the blade, although it is not a remarkable sword in its own right. Its true strength is its longevity refraction trait, Which is a divine ability that nullifies the "eternal attribute" of immortals and inflicts wounds that cannot be restored by any method other than healing according to natural laws. It is one of the five Noble Phantasms given to Perseus, the largest amount of legendary artifacts given to a single person in Greek history, for his mission to slay Medusa. It was given by Hermes, and as it was returned to him once the task was completed.
"What a shame." Gilgamesh looked at his own left hand, "I thought you would really be a challenge. I thought the one who held the power of a mystical bird would be a bit stronger. But this fight was not even a little fun for me."
The crowd watched with bated breath. Riser screamed and struggled, trying to activate any aspect of his demonic power, but nothing happened, little did he know that Gilgamesh sealed his power temporarily with magic runes when he touched him.
"I didn't know what I was expecting, though. After all" Gilgamesh smiled savagely, "what is a phoenix compared to a dragon?"
Slowly and deliberately, a crimson gauntlet manifested itself on his left arm. As if a dam had been broken, an unbearable pressure was released on the battlefield. Ravel closed her eyes in an attempt to resist the attack, but nothing she could do could relieve the pressure. But, worried about her brother, Ravel forced her eyes open again. At this point, the rhythmic beat that accompanied the battle had stopped completely.
Then Ravel realized that there was a barrier between Gilgamesh and the crowd, being a barrier that was beyond the barrier. dimensional of the [Rating Game]. Many of them, especially the weaker ones, reacted as Ravel did, but she failed to take into account that the barrier Grayfia was holding was actively suppressing the vast majority of ... whatever was emanating from Gilgamesh's body. Even Sirzechs seemed surprised by the blunt force attack. Inside the barrier, his brother felt the true strength of Gilgamesh's aura.
Then, Gilgamesh sealed the fight with a single word: "[Boost]"
Instantly, Grayfia's barrier exploded. Any smaller demon instantly fell to its knees, flattened by the relentless force. Gilgamesh made no further effort to hide his aura, freely letting all the pent-up energy flow out of his body like a shockwave, almost sending Ravel and the other demons flying out of their seats. However, Riser remained rooted to the spot as if chained there, and Gilgamesh turned his now glowing red gaze to the devil.
Gilgamesh moved closer to Riser, while Ravel stood apart protected by a Grayfia barrier that made her to protect after Gilgamesh's power surge.
Riser only stared in shock.
"Who are you?" questions Riser fearfully.
Gilgamesh earned a gigantic smile on his face.
"Pay attention bird for I will only speak once"
"My name Gilgamesh! The King of Uruk, the proud son of Lugalbanda and Ninsun. And the most prominent King among kings. I am the slayer of Humbaba the Terrible, the monstrous giant that the gods feared. I was the one who killed the Bull of Heaven when the petulant goddess Ishtar cast him upon my people for my rejection of her advances. I am the current Sekiryuutei, host of Ddraig, the Dragon that the Gods feared. I am the first worthy human being to be known as a legend, the first of all Heroes, and no one who comes after me could even overshadow my glory."
Declared Gilgamesh with all pride and power, making everyone, even if unconsciously, feel small and amazed.
"So tell me, little bird, what are you to me?" asks Gilgamesh sarcastically, "You are a worm, and like all worms you must stare at the ground as you die.
The entire space around Gilgamesh crumbled into golden ripples that came out dozens of weapons.
Swords, daggers, spears, halberds, arrows, axes and the most diverse weapons emerged with great beauty and grandeur.
All of them were holy weapons or capable of killing immortals.
Everyone, especially Riser, was terrified when they felt the power of the weapons.
Sirzechs tried to end the battle, but the [Rating Game] system was not working because the power that Gilgamesh had released had influenced the dimension.
In an instant all of Gilgamesh's weapons shot towards Riser who closed his eyes awaiting his death.
"STOP"
A shout interrupted and made the guns stop in midair as in front of Riser, just inches from the guns was someone.
Ravel Phenex was standing in front of Riser protectively as tears flowed from his eyes.
"P-p-please don't kill him" Ravel said fearfully.
"Aren't you afraid Phenex?" asked Gilgamesh as the weapons began to release more power.
The girl trembled but held her position.
"If it is for my brother" the girl said fearfully as she felt the power of the weapons.
Gilgamesh gave a gentle smile and all the weapons dissipated into golden dust to Ravel's surprise.
Gilgamesh approached and put his hand on Ravel's head making her blush.
"Very brave you Ravel Phenex, many would not stand up to my treasures, be proud" Gilgamesh spoke in a tone that made the girl surprised.
Gilgamesh turned his gaze to Riser who was still on the floor.
"Learn this from today worm, you are only alive because of your sister" said Gilgamesh as he turned and prepared to leave.
Ravel went after Gilgamesh as he wanted to talk to him just so something would catch both of their attention.
Riser stood up and stuck all his magic power he had into him creating flames that went all the way to the sky.
"Even if I die I will kill you" shouts Riser as he prepares all his remaining power.
The power was so great that it would hit both Gilgamesh and Ravel, but it seemed that Riser was not thinking straight and let his anger do the thinking for him.
Gilgamesh before decided to show one of his techniques, after all Sirzechs wanted him to demonstrate if unwavering power.
Riser raised his magic power to the maximum by making his wings of flame emerge from his back, dozens of fireballs were created in the air with heat that made the atmosphere itself overheat, spears of fire were created around him and the earth itself was melting as Riser's power was raised to its maximum.
