Chapter 243

Chapter 243

Gilgamesh walked beside Yasaka as they made their way back to the newly-conserved throne room. Upon entering the throne room, the new couple was greeted by pure emptiness. No one was in the throne room, obviously everyone wanted to rest after last night, not that any of them could blame them.

Gilgamesh had also already talked to Yasaka that he should go back to his Faction and also take the answer to Sirzechs which the Youkai leader agreed to, but let it be known that Gilgamesh should return.

But before that someone wanted to meet Gilgamesh according to Yasaka.

However, to Gilgamesh's amazement and Yasaka's dismay, a human-sized glow that shone brightly appeared in front of them.

Gilgamesh could feel something coming, something that was powerful and incredibly ancient.

"A God" thought Gilgamesh as he saw a being materialize in front of him.

The woman standing before him was the very embodiment of beauty. Her silky ebony hair was waist high, held back by gold pins. It framed her head and face and had an elegant cut across her shining forehead. It had a glow that seemed to attract the light around it. The shape of his eyes was perfectly oriental, but they appeared to be hawkish and sharp. Thick, long eyelashes shaded his eyes, delicately fluttering in a strong evaluation. Her eyes, much better, her irises were the color of molten gold. Her lips were small and thin, but seemed very smooth, pressed into a thin line.

"So, you must be Gilgamesh?" His voice was elegant and soft and almost soothing.

"Amaterasu-sama, why have you graced us with your presence?"

Gilgamesh's eyes widened.

"Wait, this is Amaterasu? The Amaterasu leader of the Shinto pantheon" thought Gilgamesh in surprise.

"I wanted to meet the descendant of the King of Heroes. Even more after last night's battle, I really never imagined that a demigod could become a god, and one so powerful alone" spoke Amaterasu calmly.

"It is a pleasure Amaterasu" said Gilgamesh smiling calmly.

"So polite, very different from your ancestor" said Amaterasu sighing.

Gilgamesh laughed a little at that, it was hard for the original Gilgamesh to be polite to anyone, even more so a God.

"So to what do I owe the visit?" asked Gilgamesh curious.

"Well I wanted to personally meet the King of Heroes and Leader of the much talked about Avalon Faction, plus thank you for retrieving my Kusanagi for me" spoke Amaterasu.

The Goddess still had no idea how her sacred sword had been stolen right from under her nose, one day Amaterasu had arrived at her temple that guarded the sword and it had disappeared.

"How could I forget that ... Inukimi will be so disappointed" The Youkai leader thought to herself.

...

...

Flashback.

A few years ago.

Our story takes place almost two years before the beginning of the canon, being two months after Gilgamesh's meeting with Sairaorg and the rescue of Valerie and having acquired the Longinus [Regulus Nemea] as well as his meeting with Gabriel.

In a large green field with several trees it was possible to see fifteen-year-old Gilgamesh breathing heavily, although he was quite young his appearance was that of someone sixteen years old as his body had developed faster to withstand the power in his body.

Looking at his master, Sebas, who was standing several meters in front of him, Gilgamesh swallowed his pain and stepped forward.

Gilgamesh approaches him, attacking with a right hook that he easily blocks, but Gilgamesh knew this because his left foot is pointing to his side. Sebas grabs him and Gilgamesh quickly jumps up and tries to hit his face with his right leg. Sebas merely moves a minimum distance away as his foot barely passes him and lands a devastating punch to his abdomen and throws it away with disdainful ease.

"You must not rely solely on your physical strength and endurance Young Master, you must use your intelligence to defeat your enemies. No one is invincible, if you find these openings you can decide a fight" Sebas spoke calmly to his disciple.

Gilgamesh breathed heavily: "It looks like I'll never beat you" said Gilgamesh heavily.

"You are only using your physical strength and physical combat in this fight, and actually I am physically stronger and have much more experience" said Sebas: "If you used your spells it would be different"

Gilgamesh nodded because he knew that Sebas had a lot of experience, Sebastian was over five hundred years old after all.

When the Goddesses had created Sebas they had made him from scratch, giving him his abilities and knowledge of the world, but Sebas had been created five hundred years ago by the Goddesses.

Since that time Sebas has dedicated himself to training and increasing his magical power and techniques even more, he knew that his destiny was to train Gilgamesh and he would accept this happily.

During these five hundred years Sebas traveled the world gaining even more knowledge to pass on to Gilgamesh.

Sebas rarely got involved in supernatural matters as he wanted as much discretion as possible, yet Sebas had seen the Great War and other great incidents as well.

Sebas was so powerful with all these years of experience that he possesses more power than Sirzechs Lucifer and is a member of the Top 10.
