《Gilgamesh In DxD》Chapter 11
Advertisement
*Returning with Gilgamesh.*
I feel like I've been the victim of a multiversal journey.
Never mind.
I turn my gaze to the demons and see them begin to prepare.
I felt the temperature in the room rising to the point where the sweat evaporated, to prevent this I started to constantly release an aura of ice through my body to keep myself well.
Then one of the red demons advances at me raising its claws with the intention of piercing me.
The moment he lowers his hand I jump to the side making him pierce the ground, and the moment I touch the ground I put my right hand on the ground and manipulate the earth with [Zenith Tempest] I create big stakes that pierce the demon's body and to make sure I open the [Gate of Babylon] and throw three holy swords directly at the demon's head killing it.

[You gained 500 Exp]
Turning my attention to the other demons I see that they still haven't moved until the red demons start walking.
The three start coming towards me.
The one furthest behind opens its mouth and releases a sea of flames towards me, I'm not sure if I could dodge it I move my hand forward and manipulate the air until I create a concentrated wind sphere and I launch it towards the fire, normally this it would increase the power of the fire, but when the fire meets the wind the fire separates, I used the wind to redirect the fire to the other walls.
Taking advantage of this I activate the mark of my [Devil Slayer Magic] and raise my hand towards the other two demons that are advancing against me.
"Great Lightning Demon Storm"
Moving my hand I create a vortex of lightning and thunder and cast it at the two remaining demons who are shattered by the force of the lightning.

Sighing, I widen my eyes as I see Surtur disappear and emerge behind me.
Leaping away I see Surtur swing his sword and hurl a great sea of flame towards me.
The firepower is great, even with my aura of ice I still feel the heat, I quickly create a lot of ice, which was difficult and exhausting due to the high temperature of the place, and I mold it in the form of a barrier for me. protect.
Raising my hand I accumulate a great amount of moisture in the air and condense it in the form of a great wave of water that crashes over Surtur and sweeps away him and his flames.
Turning around I see the red demon and Surtur, who has just recovered, I take a deep breath and inflate my mouth and lungs.
"Wrath of the Lightning Demon"
From my mouth comes a condensed vortex of pure lightning and thunder that advances, destroying everything in its path like a great storm.
My rays had been aimed at Surtur, but the red demon stepped forward receiving all the attack that tore him apart, not even Surtur coming out unscathed, but with only a few scratches.
Looking at Surtur I decided to get this over with quickly and then I open the [Gate of Babylon] and pull out a sword.
Its shape was unique, but it could be classified as a greatsword. The edge was blue as a gem, followed by gold that adorned the tip. The shield was semicircular on the left side of the strap which extends to the bottom just above the pommel, with a small extension on the right side of the strap.
It was a sword that claimed to be unparalleled, a sword that claimed 100,000 men alive, it was a sword that believed to be able to cut anything with it, a sword that believed capable of creating miracles, it was a sword that could be called a divine construction.

A sword that was used by Roland... The famous Paladin and leader of the Twelve Pairs. A sword given to him by an angel and splendidly forged, like Caliburn. He proved to be nearly indestructible, seeing how Roland's desire to destroy him on the brink of death to keep him from falling into enemy hands ended in failure.
The moment I touched it I felt everything, thanks to my skill [Weapons Proficiency], I felt like using this sword is pushing it to the limit, even close to perfection, I saw everything about it, who created it, how it was created, who wielded it and how it was wielded.
And then the name of the sword was called and the world took on colors.
"The Peerless Sword: Durandal"
At the moment his name was called a great wave of sacred energy exploded inside the boss room destroying everything that was profane, for nothing like that could stand in front of one of the greatest weapons created by God.
Surtur, feeling the great amount of sacred energy, that even without touching it he felt his skin burning, he came forward brandishing his sword with the intention of killing the threat in front of him.
I too advanced and in a single swing the swords clashed.
And Surtur fell.
Durandal slashed at the demon like a knife hot in butter, for no demon would be able to resist the power of one of the strongest weapons created by God.

Sighing I close the ground around me to distort until it returns to what it was before.
I think it's time to leave.
I walk towards the door and open it.
But I can't help but widen my eyes when I see who's there.
Sebas is standing in front of me staring at me.
"Have you had good training young master?" asks the butler.
I widen my eyes even more.
"W-what practice?"
Sebas continues to stare at me.
"No need to worry young master Gilgamesh... Or should I say reincarnated human Diogo" says Sebas, his eyes glowing red.
Only one thing crosses my mind.
"Shit."

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
