Chapter 61. Gaia


    Rei watched as Berserker dashed towards Gilgamesh. This time however, Berserker held a slight advantage as he can go as wild as go could.


    Berserker swung his sword towards Gilgamesh as hbinedit with a knee to the body. Quickly summoning some noble phantasms, Gilgamesh blocked the knee with a shield that still forced his back.


    Golden portals appeared around Berserker shooting noble phantasms at speed which became a blur. Explosions rang out as another one of Berserker''s lives ran out meaning he only had 7 lives remaining.


    Regenerating quickly, Berserker dashed towards Gilgamesh once again causing the ground to shatter. Throwing high colossal sword at Gilgamesh, Berserker fainted into a kick at the side of Gilgamesh.


    Summoning a more powerful noble phantasms,Gilgameshblocked it before looking at Berserker.


    "Hn, don''t get too cocky mongrel, I''ll allow you the pleasure of making me slightly more serious." Gilgamesh said before he pushed Berserker back with more weapons being fired at him.


    Jumping backwards, Berserker grabbed one of the weapons before twisting his body and throwing the weapon back with shockwaves signalling the projectile speed. Thegale caused by the throw,threwthe other phantasms off as they missed Berserker causing the area around himto belittered with weapons.


    "Hou~ to be able to grab one and throw it back. Interesting...." Rei said looking at Berserker.


    The weapons faded into golden particles returning to the Gate of Babylon.


    Berserker started to walk towards Gilgamesh as he began increasing his speed. Soon he became a red blur shooting towards Gilgamesh. More and more projectiles attacked Berserker as he tried to dodge. Some of them pierced his body but Berserker ignored it. Soon Berserker wasin frontof Gilgamesh and punched towards him.


    Taking a few steps back, Gilgamesh summoned phantasms where he had stood and pierced Berserker''s body causing him to fly backwards.


    "6 lives remain mongrel." Gilgamesh said with his hands in him pockets.


    Berserkerwas about to run towards Gilgamesh when he sawmagesstart to appear. Some dropping down from the air while some could be seening out the remaining part of the forest.


    "Hou~More ants decided to show up." Rei said as he stood up.


    Themagesgathered magic to attack the barrier Rei made forIllya. Berserker shouted in rage about to attack themagesbut Gilgamesh shot more weapons at him causing him to dodge backwards.


    "Don''t worry big guy, I got this." Rei said walking forwards.


    Suddenly, multiple seals appeared beneath him as magic started to absorb his power.


    Due to the sudden drain, Rei became light-headed for a slight moment and almost kneeled down. Taking this chance, themagessent spells hoping to kill him.


    Summoning ice around him to protect him from the attacks, Rei frowned feeling the suppression seal.


    "Tsk, Gaia you actually showed them seals..." Rei said annoyed. Looking up he could see themunching fire attacks to try melt the ice. Unknown to them Rei smiled as this fire was just what he needed to replenish some of his powerright now.


    Undoing his ice, Rei stood up and started to eatall of thefire. The fire disappeared as Rei could be seen standing in a ring of purple fire. He had fire flickering around his body as themagescould tell the fire elements dance around his in hisplete control.


    "Kuhahahaha, you guys made a few mistakes that would cost you your life. Buti''lltell you two of them...." Rei said as the fire started to grow.


    "First mistake, using fire against me is the worst element that you could have chosen." Rei said as he condensed two ming purple chains in his hands and smacked down on the ground causing it to crack.


    "And second, the mere though of wanting to kill me. An immortal....." Rei said ominously causing themagesto step back unconsciously.


    Suddenly, Rei shed towards them causing a trial of fire behind him. Swinging the chains, every one that it touched had the certain body part turn to ash.


    The two chains dances around in purple streaks of light reaping the lives of themages.Illyawatched in slight awe as she could tell that none of themagesstood a chance to begin with.


    Seeing that there were still many of themagesleft, Rei crouched his body before catapulting towards the biggest group.


    Jumping up just before he hit, Rei twisted his body sending the chains towards the group easily killing them. Kicking down his heels on the ground, Rei caused the earth to crack with purple mes surroundingall of themages.


    Snapping his fingers, Rei manipted the fire causing the mes to shoot upwards and grab the remainingmagesturning them to ash. Rei looked around at the purple hell that he had just caused and nodded at its effect.


    Rei snapped his fingers once more putting out the fire before he went back toIllyaand sat down.


    "Reiniichan, what was that fire?"Illyaasked unable toretainher curiosity.


    "Oh this?" Rei said summoning a small speck of purple fire on his finger tip.Illyanodded.


    "This is the mes of Lucifer, mes of the origin demon or Satan I suppose. This was one of my first powers that I had and one of the most destructive." Rei said ying around with the me.


    ''Aww, how nice of you.'' Lucifer suddenly said in his conscience.


    ''Eh? you''re healed up?'' Rei asked in his mind as he put out the fire.


    ''Nope! No yet. See ya.'' Lucifer said cutting off themunication.


    ''Random motherfucker.'' Rei though as he looked back atIllyawhohad focusedof his fire until he put it out.


    "Eh? How do you have the mes of Satan?"Illyaasked.


    "We have people from legends, Why would you besurprisedat this?" Rei asked.


    "Because could you be actually Satan?"Illyasaid tilting her head.


    "What made you think that I would be Satan?" Rei said looking slightly confused.


    "Well Actually Satan. Actually is important, and you we''re summoned byRin, summon des from no where, rained hell on the forest, and you have Satan''s fire. Why wouldn''t you be actually Satan?"Illyaasked.


    ''I can''t help but feel like I heard that somewhere...'' Rei though hearing her.


    "Well I''m not Actually Satan. I''m me, Rei and I just have his fire under my control." Rei said clearing it up withIllya.


    Before he could even respond, she heard Berserker shout in rage as chains suddenly restrained him when he was inches away from hitting Gilgamesh with his sword.


    "BERSERKER!!!"Illyasuddenly shouted in a worried tone as she saw him bound. Quickly trying to take him back usingmand seals,Illyadidn''t understand why it didn''t work.


    "Eh? Why isn''t Berserkering back?"Illyasaid looking at the still bound Berserker.


    "Enkidu, Chains of heaven. These chains are ment for restraining gods. The more divinity they have they tighter they bind." Gilgamesh said looking at Berserker with a cocky look.


    Hearing this,Illyasent Rei a pleading look as Berserker was down to hisst two lives.


    Rei though for a moment and decided to not disappoint her. He smiled at her, before he walked over to the battlefieldand alsosummoned Enkidu to restrain Gilgamesh.


    "Oi! Gilgamesh, like this?" Rei said as he pointed to the chains locking him up.


    Gilgamesh widened his eyes in shock and rage before shouting out.


    "MONGREL!! HOW DO YOU HAVEENKIDU!! ONLY I SHOULD HAVE IT!!"


    "Let''s just say I made another one. And I can make more as well." Rei said making multiple Enkidu''s float mid-air.


    Gilgamesh looked in horror as he saw one of his most beloved weapons being copied by some unknownindividund worst of all, they were all real versions too.


    "MONGRELLLLL!!!!!!" Gilgamesh shouted in rage as he summoned out EA.


    Red energy twisted together as EA appeared breaking off Enkidu.


    "For this, you shall DIE!!!" Gilgamesh shouted as the energy gathered on EA.


    Rei frowned as he felt threatened by the aura EA let off.


    The resulting energy had also destroyed the chains on Berserker as he quickly stoodin frontonIllyahoping to use his body as ayer ofadditionaldefence.


    Not wanting to see Berserker die,Illyaused one of her seals to take Berserker backwhilehe himselftried to protest to no avail.


    Rei''s eyes widened slightly as he knew his barrier wont hold against EA''s attack.


    "ENUMAELISH!!!" Gilgamesh shouted firing the energy towards him andIllya.


    "Tsk!" Rei clicked his tongue and he summonedTengokuand started to quickly chant.


    "Kneel in awe, weakness revealed.


    Power taken, mortalshellunveiled.


    Shojun(Ascend) :TengokuNoFuin(Seal of Heaven)!!"


    Golden light covered the area as the illusionary temple of heaven could be seen above Rei.


    "7 LAYERED PROTECTION ARRAY : ROTATION!!!!


    RHOAIAS!!


    SEAL OF DEFENCEX50!!"


    Rei shouted in quick session as the countless measures of defence stacked on top of each other. Arge array of blue seals could be seen stretched across the area. Layers of a golden dome could be seen rotating around where Rei andIllyaas it protected them.


    Illyalooked at the back of Rei who was trying to protect her even against an attack like this.


    *BBBOOOOOMMMMM!!!!


    A huge collision of energy erupted as the streaks of red attack the dome. The energy almost acted like multiple dragons coiling around and striking the dome.


    The groundwas tornasunder as deep trenches could be seen. As the attackwas focusedon where Rei andIllyahad been, thenear bycity was leftrtivelysafe. Though the energy did destroy some of the outer areas as coteral.


    The collision eventually died down as the dustleft behindstarted to clear up.


    Gilgamesh returned EA away as he smirked atthe destruction witharrogance. However, it soon faded as he could see Rei still there protectingIllya.


    "Kuh!!" Rei coughed up blood as he could be see in front ofIllyausing his body to shield her during thest moments of the attack. Rei fell forward asthe majority ofhis left sidehad been evaporated.


    "Kuhuhuhu, god damn....Havn''t had an attack like this in a while...." Rei said as his blood flowed out inrge quantities.


    "Are those yourst words mongrel." Gilgamesh said withdisdain.


    "No but what about yourst words?" Rei mocked back.


    "Thosearen''tthe best words to leave out on." Gilgamesh said as he started to walk towards him holding a sword he summoned with the Gates of Babylon.


    "Right back at you." Rei said as his blood started to move around shocking Gilgamesh.


    Rei regenerated his entire body as he shed behind Gilgamesh takingthe chance ofGilgamesh being frozen. Coating his arm inhaki, Rei pierced Gilgamesh''s body ripping out his heart as Gilgamesh looked down on the hand through his body.


    "You--" Gilgameshwas cutoff as Rei ripped his head of the body whilst crushing the heart.


    Throwing the body away, Rei looked up before saying.


    "Gaia, you''ve been watching for a while. Not a very good hobby I would say."


    "Kuhahahahaha,morta-no I should say ascendant. You werenaveto think that you can go against me. Gaia." A female voice rang out as light descended revealing a woman in a green dress and long blond hair with the pointed ears like an elf. Decent bust, thin waist and a pair of green eyes. The woman in front of him is definitely a beauty but Rei wasn''t distracted as he became serious and fell into abat stance with des ready. Cold sweat flowed down his back as he could feel her power and the gap between them.


    Divinebat rank.....
