Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 57

The second Sacred Gear I gave him was [Night Reflection] which has the ability to absorb attacks using shadows and redirect them in any direction the user wishes from any shadow in the Sacred Gear's area of influence. It can create shadow monsters to attack opponents, change user shapes on blades and spears to attack enemies, form a shadow barrier shield around user and others, user can submerge in shadows and reappear in others, also entangled enemies and linking their movements, a very powerful Sacred Gear if used correctly.

And the last one was the [Flame Shake] granting the user the ability to use pyrokinetic abilities, conjuring white flames from the hands and firing at the target. Presumably these flames burn hotter than normal fire but are useless against those with a higher residence of fire, like dragons, and members of the Phoenix clan.

Separated they are strong, but if mastered and used together they can be even stronger. I have no doubt that if Issei masters the three perfectly he will get power equal to an Ultimate Class devil, or at least a High Class one, but it will need a lot of training.

"You don't like it." Sona says.

"I don't like the way Rias tried to get close to him and me." he tells Sona.

"Help yourself," Sona said after seeing that I wasn't going to continue.

"I personally thought the whole thing was a stupid idea."

"You did?"

"It's too risky." She responded with a nod. "Leaving the ethics issue out, the plan is flawed at a fundamental level. There are too many variables, too many forces at play that are beyond Rias' control to justify the risk. According to the plan, which is unlikely, there remains the question of what would happen if Issei and you found out that Rias let you both die. like it happened to you. If it were me, I would have handled the situation in a completely different way."

"How would you have done that then?"

"Simple, I would have recruited him to the Student Council. It wouldn't have been too hard to convince him to see that most of our members are girls, and I would have forced him to behave by threatening to kick him out. year of spying on all the girls" an unpleasant frown crossed her face as she said this, although whether it was for spying or for somthing else, it was anyone's guess.

"It would have been easy to convince him and it was well within my power to expel him outfrom this school, but also from every other school in the country. That I actually have enough genuine reasons to justify expulsion, that made it easier. Rias it's the only reason he hasn't been kicked out yet."

"I would observe him for a period of six months or more, keeping our identity as devils a secret. During that period, I would try him to see if he could be safely integrated into my Peerage. It would all depend of course on how how well he got along with the rest of the Council and how strong the ties are between them.

"If he failed, I'd just kick him out. No matter how big the prize. It's not worth recklessly risking my Peerage's life, especially when it comes to something as dangerous as it's out of control. Dragon. On the other hand, had he passed, I would have briefed him with the knowledge that Devils can legally obtain harems, and then spent the rest of the year turning his weak body into shape with a promise to send him to one of the many underworld brothels as a reward.

Overall, it will be a long-term investment, with low risk and high return. In other words, my preferred method of trading."

"If it was that easy, why didn't Gremory do the same?" I asked.

She grimaced: "You have to understand Gilgamesh, Rias has always been lucky when it comes to her Peerage, and I mean insanely. I would have understood if she had done some work and spent time and effort looking for Peerage. But she never did. Needed, it was as if the hand of some god guided them to her.

"Each and every one of her companions seemed to fall into her lap, with only one finger raised. To make the matter even more unbelievable, each of them has a mighty sacred gear or a mighty bloodline."

She began counting them, raising a finger for each example. "Kiba has the rebirth of the Holy Gear Sword, Koneko is a Nekoshou, Akeno has the blood of a powerful fallen angel as well as that of the Himejima clan and then Gasper a Dhampir with rare Daywalker ability and the Sacred Gear that is one step away from being a Longinus, the Forbidden Balor View.

"Rias never had to work to convince any of them to join her. Half of them were dead or dying when she found them and the other half had nowhere to go back and they were more or less homeless orphans. on your date the same day you met them"

That's really true, it's so weird that Rias has them all that it's scary.

For example, how did Rias know Akeno was being stalked? How she managed to find the girl in the middle of the entire underworld.

And with Kiba, as Rias, a girl, she managed to enter and find the Church's secret territory and was there just at the time of Kiba's death?

And with Gaspar when he fled the Tepes Faction, what was Rias doing in Vampire territory, which is enemy territory?

With Koneko it's worse as Sirzechs basically took Koneko and handed it to Rias on a platter.

I honestly don't think it's weird that maybe Sirzechs has something to do with it.

"Rias never had to work to convince any of them to join her. Half of them were dead or dying when she found them and the other half had nowhere to go back and they were more or less homeless orphans. on your date the same day you met them.

"The reason she's so excited about Issei and you is because she has no idea how to recruit you both. I wouldn't be surprised if she spent most of the year waiting for a perfect moment to jump in and rescue them." she shrugged as I stared at her. "Now don't look at me like that. It may seem silly to us, but to Rias, she just doesn't know any other way. It probably never occurred to her to just approach you guys and try to become friends first."

"Besides, Rias is very aware of her luck, so she probably expected it to kick in some way and give her an opportunity to rescue and recruit both of you like she usually does. So what happened? Behold, a Fallen Angel appears threatening Issei and you and now she has the perfect chance to come in and rescue you." She shook her head, incredulous at the situation.

"She could do it another way, I think even devils wouldn't like an angry Longinus user." I tell her.
