Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 279

In Rating Game.

With the Nobility of Rias Gremory.

After the Nobility of Rias had made their way to the teleportation platform a light blinded them all.

When the light disappeared it was revealed that they were all in a large mall.

"I didn't expect the mall located near Kuoh Academy to serve as a field" said Rias in surprise as all of her approached her.

Beside Rias was her [Queen] Akeno Himejima, her [Tower] Koneko Toujou, her [Bishop] Gasper Vladi, her [Knight] Kiba Yuuto and her [Pawn] Issei Hyoudou.

[To all, on this occasion, I, the [Queen] of the Lucifer group, Grayfia, will be serving as the judge in the "Rating Game" between the Gremory group and the Astaroth group]

Grayfia's voice announced as everyone stood quietly to hear her words.

[On behalf of my master, Sirzechs Lucifer, I will be following the match between these two families. It is an honor to be here. Cutting to the chase, today's venue is the mall present in the vicinity of "Kuou Academy," the school that Rias-sama attends, which was created in an alternative space to be the venue for the match].

This mall, which had become the battlefield, was a two-story building. It was not very large in terms of floors.

However, with its two floors and its atrium, this mall was considered large in terms of length. The roof was a parking lot. In addition, there was also a covered, underground, multi-story parking lot.

[Both groups were teleported to their respective "bases". Rias-sama's "base" is on the second floor on the east side, while Rin-sama's "base" is on the second floor on the west side. In order for "pawns" to promote themselves, please go to your opponent's "base"].

Rias's base and Rin's base are at opposite ends of the mall, Rias was on the second floor, to the east. Rin was on the second floor, to the west. Near Rias' base was a pet shop, a game center, a restaurant, a bookstore and a pharmacy. On the second floor below our base was a branch store, and a sports equipment store.

On the opposing side, there was a grocery store, a home appliance store, a junk food store, and a general store.

During the battle, each side would have to go straight against the opposite end of the mall. That was simple and clear.

[This time there will be special rules. Documents about them have been sent to each group, so please check them out. A single bottle of Phoenix Tears has been provided for each group. Also, the time to create strategies before the combat will be thirty minutes. Contact with the opponent during this time is forbidden. The game is scheduled to begin in thirty minutes. So, let the strategy time begin].

Rias quickly headed with his Nobility to their base so they could strategize

30 Minutes Later.

After discussing their strategy Rias and his Nobility gathered in the food court to put their plan into action.

[It is now time for the start. Also, the match will be in lightning mode with a 3 hour time limit. Without further ado, let the match begin].

After Grayfia's announcement the Gremory heiress quickly spoke up.

"Your orders are the ones we have already discussed. Ise and Koneko, and Yuuto, will split into two groups. Ise and Koneko will advance through the inside of the mall. Yuuto will advance through the covered parking lot. Gasper will transform into various bats and will watch and report anything inside the mall. Depending on your progress, Akeno and I will go through Ise's group route.

Hearing her master's words everyone put bugging in their ears.

"Let's go" said Rias firmly.

[Yes]

With Rias' nod everyone split up, Kiba advanced towards her while Issei and Koneko in another and Gasper turned into bats and advanced while Rias and Akeno got into their positions.

With Gasper.

While all his companions were doing their own missions, the Dhampir had turned into dozens of bats.

As he watched Gasper had been unable to find anyone, it was as if Rin's nobility was nowhere to be found.

While flying, Gasper could see in the distance a black dot approaching him at extreme speed.

Just as Gasper was about to alert his companions the black dot appeared in front of him revealing red eyes.

It was the infamous Murasame Demon Sword Slayer Akame.

Before Gasper could react Akame drew her sword while in one swift movement she cut down all the bats forcing Gasper back to his normal form.

Due to the damage Gasper returned to his normal form while dozens of cuts were on his body.

Akame's Murasame was encased in a seal that prevented her ability to kill in one hit, a requirement that was placed on her so that she would not unintentionally kill her enemies during the "Rating Games".

When Gasper fell to the ground he succumbed to his injuries.

[The "Bishop" of Rias Gremory withdrew]

Akame sighed as he sheathed his sword.

"Target eliminated" Akame said monotonously as she quickly walked back to where her master was.

With Issei and Koneko.

Koneko and Issei were running as they quickly advanced through their territory, but in the middle of it Koneko stopped surprising Issei.

"What happened?" the boy asked.

Koneko's eyes narrowed.

"... Enemy ahead" said the girl calmly.

"So you sensed me, I guess that was to be expected from a Nekoshou"

A voice had made itself present to Koneko and Issei.

Issei's eyes widened as he turned forward to the source of the voice.

The source of the voice was a tall red-haired man, he had a very muscular body with several scars spread across it. He wears no clothes, except a garment to cover his manhood, a cape, combat gauntlets, steel toed boots and a helmet. Thus it is possible to see several red tattoos scattered all over his body. He also carries a large shield and a spear on his back.

He was Leonidas, the descendant of the great Sword King Leonidas and the [Tower] of Rin Astaroth.

Koneko and Issei quickly took combat position, but soon an announcement caught their attention.

[The "Bishop" of Rias Gremory withdrew]

Koneko and Issei's eyes widened in surprise and shock.

"H-how?" stammered Issei in surprise.

Seeing this, Leonidas smiled.

"We were informed that, according to the rules, Gasper-kun's Sacred Gear would be. With that, it was inevitable that he would use his vampiric powers instead. [He will transform into several bats and observe the mall situation]. That's what my mistress thought. So we lured him out by leaving him without enemies to have a false security and Akame-chan eliminated him" explained Leonidas calmly.

With a sigh the man moved forward while further alerting Issei and Koneko.

"Although I would love a fight between warriors here, my master told me to eliminate them as quickly as possible" said Leonidas sighing.

Before they could react Leonidas advanced at a speed that a [Tower] should not possess and he surged in front of Koneko striking her with a punch and sending her flying away.

"Koneko-chan!!!" shouted Issei.

Before the boy could react, Leonidas punched his face knocking out several teeth while sending him flying like a rag doll crashing into a wall.

[A "Rook" and a "Pawn" from Rias Gremory withdrew]

Leonidas only sighed, he really hoped for a good fight.

"I should have left Wave in charge of this" grumbled the descendant of the legendary Spartan as he turned back to his mistress.
