Sairaorg approached and managed to get into Gilgamesh's guard, but he was ready for him, grabbed his arms and swiveled his hips to perform a modified judo throw over his shoulders. Unfortunately, the move barely disturbed Sairaorg when he got up and fired back at Gilgamesh. As he approached, he crouched and swung his leg in an attempt to knock Gilgamesh down, who saw the movement and jumped into the air, which was exactly what Sairaorg was looking for. Gilgamesh seemed to realize this too late, as he was left vulnerable in midair. Fortunately, he was able to sense the attack and quickly placed his cross guard to soften Sairaorg's kick.

Gilgamesh, despite softening the blow by guarding, was still pushed back. By flying backwards, he showed his dexterity by leaning fully backwards and using the ground for support to do a backspin with his hands planted on the ground for support. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he exploded towards Sairaorg, cratering the ground where his feet were and waving to the right hook, Sairaorg raised his guard but saw his mistake as a feint and Gilgamesh instead. In addition, he kicked Sairaorg in the head that had him doubling up a bit before using his momentum to follow with an uppercut to Gilgamesh's chin, which left him seeing stars for a few seconds before using the backward movement to propel himself to forward and headbutt Sairaorg as a muffled sound reverberated throughout the arena from the impact. They both took a moment to catch their breath and compose themselves before moving to the other as their fists crossed and impacted the others on a counter they held before stepping back to compose themselves and take stock of the situation.

"Seeing you equal my punches really makes my blood pump. I haven't had a good fight in a while." Said Sairaorg. The force of Gilgamesh's attacks really caught him off guard. He didn't expect the human to match him head-on without his Sacred Gear. Maybe he was getting into the nasty habits of his race, arrogance.

"I've been working hard to reach that level. I've broken and fixed my body several times to get that strength. I'm sure you, better than anyone else, understand what that means." Gilgamesh stated. Sairaorg responded with a smile full of battle lust.

"You really are a worthy opponent. Here I come," Said Sairaorg as he crossed his arms. Symbols appeared on the four limbs. Your weights.

"So those are his weights," Gilgamesh realized.

Just as he predicted, a dim light was emitted by the members of Sairaorg before the symbols disappeared. In the next moment, the force of the release of power blew away from his immediate surroundings as the wind rose around his, along with a shallow crater forming under his feet. When a white glow engulfed Sairaorg and adjusted to his body, almost like a second skin, his touki was finally in place.

Gilgamesh had to admit, he was seriously impressed.

Far away from there, Sebas and Enkidu as well as the exorcists were watching the battle.

Both Siegfried and Jeanne could not believe that this strength could be possessed for someone so young.

"That devil is intriguing," Sebas said as he rubbed his beard.

"Why?" asked Enkidu.

"As I was saying, for a devil to awaken touki is unheard of. He must have pursued pure power, and his body responded by using his own life base as power and enfolding him in his body. He must have plenty of vitality and strength. Vital to becoming visible like that," Sebas said, seriously impressed that a devil could use Touki like that.

"Yes. But I don't think it's at its limit yet." said Enkidu, noticing that Sairaorg's Touki wasn't at its maximum yet.

Gilgamesh, realizing he couldn't take this lightly, clenched his fists, which gained a metallic black glow when the [Armament Haki] was activated.

"Here I come, Gilgamesh!" yelled Sairaorg as he fired at Gilgamesh with unimaginable speed and fired at him.

They exchanged a flurry of blows, with Sairaorg spending a lot of time around Gilgamesh's guard, making him grimace slightly at the thunderous impact of the blows. Punches, kicks, headbutts and throws were all on the menu as the two men literally used their bodies as weapons to harm each other.

Due to the touki's momentum, Sairaorg had a slight advantage over Gilgamesh momentarily, which he took advantage of by raining down as many blows as he could.

Gilgamesh decided to level up even more when he strengthened his [Weapon Haki] even more and made it darker and his eyes glow red when the [Observation Haki] was activated and a small golden aura glowed over his body.

"Magnificent." He applauded Sairaorg as he examined the powers exchanged by Gilgamesh, wondering if it was just cosmetic if there were new abilities too. He decided to find out how he was going forward, only to hastily deviate from the path as….

"HIKEN!" roared Gilgamesh.

A huge flaming fist came towards him. When he straightened, he heard his opponent's voice again.

"Hotarubi" declared Gilgamesh as he cast a plethora of small green lights resembling fireflies that surrounded Sairaorg, which was too late to arrive when the next layer of attack arrived.

"Hidaruma" Said Gilgamesh as he clicked his fingers and simultaneously all the green 'fireflies' detonated in a huge conflagration. When the flames went out, Sairaorg skidded out of the flames with his clothes singed and hair messy. Fortunately, his touki kept him from being roasted.

Thanks to his Longinus which had the ability to control the elements, and although he is not able to transform into those elements, he can mold them to replicate various techniques.

Looking up, he saw Gilgamesh quickly run the distance and land a right hook at him, which he had no choice but to take, spitting blood as his head banged the side of the impact. He kicked out to put some distance between them before turning back to rejoin Gilgamesh in a brawl, resulting in a massive wave of blows on the two young men over the next few years and a lot of blood being spilled. Sairaorg's right eyes were almost closed, and he was leaking blood from his forehead and nose, which also appeared to be fractured. Gilgamesh, on the other hand, coughed up some blood that leaked from his mouth, but thanks to his regeneration he was already healing.

The exchange of blows continued before an impasse occurred. Raising both arms, Gilgamesh took Sairaorg's hands, while both were locked in a head-on fight. Both exerted their strength as they tried to take the power of the other. It was an impasse until Gilgamesh threw his head back and took a deep breath before looking straight ahead again and exhaling a small storm of hot flame from his mouth.

Fortunately for Sairaorg, his touki once again minimized most of the damage, but he still felt the heat of the attack. His distraction cost him when Gilgamesh hit him with a quick kick to the chin before following him with another to the side of the head, followed by an ax kick that left him feeling before jumping and spinning 360 degrees, performing a helicopter kick on the side of the face that dropped Sairaorg.
