Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 23

*With Enkidu.*

After separating from the main group, Enkidu entered Tepes Castle, not surprised to see most of its inhabitants no longer around.

Descending the castle cellar, Enkidu stopped when he heard the voices of the guards standing beside the girl's cell.

"Hey, is it just me or are we the only ones in this castle?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Everyone's asleep while we're on our guard because of that damn Marius."

Enkidu smiled before summoning his chains and tearing the Vampires apart.

He then emerged from the shadows, appearing in front of the girl she was, however before he showed himself he saw a vampire trying to hit the girl, he quickly summoned his chains and destroyed the vampire.

The girl is dressed in some kind of red dress that shimmers just above her ankles, the bodice curled around her figure and highlighting her modest but shapely breasts, red eyes watching me warily despite exhaustion, her thin, covered hands wearing gloves while her long blond hair is a tangled mess.

"Hello, my name is Enkidu" said the Weapon of the Gods with a gentle smile.

"Ah, nice to meet you Lord Enkidu," said the girl in a low tone.

"I came here to rescue you, to take you to a safe place so you can see Gasper again." said Weapon of the Gods.

The girl's eyes filled with a glow.

"Swear? I can see him again" said the Girl to which Enkidu waved.

She didn't know, but something told her she could trust the man in front of her.

Before they could take another step, I hurled a single sword of light at them, killing one of the vampires instantly. The other guard was so shocked that he stopped moving completely, I could easily kill him during those few seconds but I didn't. I needed this to alert the vampires of this castle and get to my position.

The other vampires looked in my direction and probably recognized my use of the Holy Light if their petrified face with fear and panic was any indication. He fumbled with something in his hands, probably a magical communication device to alert others. I let him cry in panic at my presence and instantly moved in front of him and decapitated him with my ax bathed in sacred energy, leaving only ash behind, before he could tell about my use of the Holy Light. I then destroyed the communication device that required a situation report, crushing it under my foot and waiting.

He waited for the fangs to finally arrive.

And it didn't take long, as dozens of vampires were approaching my position and were already gearing up for combat, but I didn't even let them speak or take the first step. I wanted to do as much damage as possible to their faction, so I needed to be extremely cruel in my dealings with them.

"[Light Magic: Light Swords of Conviction]" Dozens of beams of light pierced the weak bodies of lower-class vampires, killing them effortlessly. Several of them tried to fight back, sending their shadows at me, but it was useless as my aura of light was literally burning away the darkness. Some tried to use magic to hurt me, but I repelled all their spells as more and more beams of light decimated them.

And for all that, I didn't move from my position. I was watching impassively as the bodies of bloodsuckers littered the castle floor. I could feel more vampires coming, but they died just the same in my light.

I could see a handful of vampires literally transforming into a reptile or insect form and approaching me with anger and anger in their eyes.

"So that's the shapeshifting ability of vampires," I thought to myself.

"Yes. Probably they think it will give more resistance against their light" said Regulus in my mind.

Vampires would have no chance of defeating me, they are even weaker to holy light than devils, so my [Light Magic] would be enough to finish them off.

I slashed at the vampires with my axe, releasing a wave made of Holy Light and cutting the high-class vampires in two.

I looked at the incoming forces that stopped moving and chose to stare at me in shock and horror, some began to flee in fear. The vampires I killed must have been important Lords of Tepes.

However, I didn't let them look at me and took this moment to finish them off.

I point my ax at them, some already stepping back towards my disturbing blank mask, eyeing them coldly, a sphere of light formed at the tip of the axe. The sphere was growing as the vampires realized that the situation was hopeless and decided to foolishly decide to turn their backs on me in order to flee.
