Chapter 40

Then she felt, several black tribal marks begin to appear all over her body as she felt her heart was being squeezed.

"This sword belonged to one of the greatest assassins in the world, or at least one of the best known. She earned the title 'One Cut, One Death: Murasame' due to a unique ability" explains Gilgamesh as the girl writhed in pain.

"She was coated with a deadly poison, which could kill any being in just one blow," he said to the despair of the girl who felt her heart stop.

She was dead.

The sword began to fade into golden dust until it returned to the [Gate of Babylon].

Raising his right hand a black flame appears, more precisely it was purple with black outlines, this flame is divided into several small birds that fly to the bodies of the Fallen Angels, incinerating them completely, leaving no trace.

"No mercy, huh?" Mordred says as he approaches.

"To be good to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself. If they came to kill us they should be willing to die," says Gilgamesh in an emotionless tone.

Mordred nods.

In this world the strong feed on the weak, there can be no pity. If they were weaker than the Fallen Angels, they would kill us.

You must have no pity.

"Go home Mordred," says Gilgamesh.

"What? Why?" asks the angry girl.

"I'm just going to get Longinus, you don't have to come" said Gilgamesh while looking at Mordred, just as she was about to say Gilgamesh continues: "If you accept I'll make five more servings of food for you" says Gilgamesh.

Mordred stops and thinks.

She stays and does nothing

Or she goes home, gets five more servings and can still go to the dungeon with her master who will have a new Longinus.

Mainly the five servings.

"Okay just don't forget" says Mordred and Gilgamesh nods making her dematerialize and go home.

Sighing Gilgamesh decides to continue.

*With Issei.*

Issei and Yuuma/Raynare were in a deserted place in front of a water source.

Issei turned to see Yuuma watching him intently. Her face looked lovely in the deathlight, her sharp cheekbones accentuated by the shadow cast by the sun. Very slowly she approached his head; she was so close that Issei could smell the faint scent of lavender wafting through her hair. She took a deep breath, like she was working something out.

She asked, "Issei, there is something I want to do to celebrate our first day. Can you hear my wish?"

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Issei was totally lost, any other boy would be thinking on her lips now, but Issei is not just any boy.

What was going through his mind was when he could take those beautiful tits of hers.

"Of course" said the boy totally beyond the situation.

"Do you die for me?"

"I'm sorry? I didn't hear you."

"I said, will you die for me?" Her voice sounded menacing.

An ugly expression came over Yuuma's face. She pulled away, laughing softly. Suddenly, two black feathered wings exploded from her back, revealing her true form. Along with that, her black dress was ripped to shreds and replaced with something else-

"Holy shit, what is this?" Issei thought.

Yuuma was in front of him in a very... different outfit. It certainly left little to the imagination. On her shoulder was a very interesting piece of armor, with several protruding thorns, and its female parts were only covered by practically a cloth cord. Not that Issei was complaining, though. In her true fallen angel form, Yuuma went from a pretty girl with a slender body to a bombshell of a woman with frighteningly curved features.

She manifested a glowing spear of light in her palm. "So please die for-"

But before she could finish that sentence several golden flashes appeared and pierced Issei's body.

These arrows turned out to be swords that pierced Issei's body causing him to fall unconscious to the ground.

"Who did this?" Raynare shouted angrily.

"I did it," said Gilgamesh as he emerged from the darkness.

"Damn you're going to die," shouts Raynare.

The boy began to enjoy himself completely.

"I'm sorry I'm going to die?" Gilgamesh rose, shrugging. A dangerous smile twisted Gilgamesh face.

For a moment, Gilgamesh's complete trust made Raynare falter. Few people have been able to produce such an unnerving expression. She stiffened her nerves and said.

"Yes. You will die."

"That's unfortunate." said Gilgamesh with an amused expression on his face.

With a cry of rage, Raynare threw her spear of light forward. Any mortal, she knew, would be instantly cut off. The weapon then dissipated, leaving behind no evidence. In case he managed to avoid the attack, Raynare prepared a contingency plan - the entire area of the fountain was covered in seals to prevent the sound from escaping. She could make as much noise as she wanted to kill him.

She saw the spear travel through the air. Her path was straight and true, going straight to the heart of Gilgamesh. Raynare braced herself for the crisis of Gilgamesh's sternum being crushed and his heart being pierced, but that sound never came.

Gilgamesh took a step to the right. The movement was so fast that Raynare's mind didn't even register until her spear slammed into the streetlight, scattering into millions of tiny white fragments. Slightly shocked, Raynare produced six spears and didn't even bother with a flashy throw. Directly, she sent the spears flying towards Gilgamesh, only for him to suddenly disappear and...

Raynare felt his warm breath at the base of her neck. Panicked, she gave a quick flap of her wings and jumped off the ground, into the air. Somehow the boy got behind her in one fluid movement.

Gilgamesh frowned. It looked like he underestimated the fallen angel. If she could make all those spears, then she wasn't as weak as he thought she was. Still, Raynare was not a strong opponent and Gilgamesh was starting to lose interest.

Without waiting, Gilgamesh leapt into the air and grabbed Raynare's ankle. Using minimal effort, he gave a quick yank and sent the fallen angel crashing to the ground and crushing her to the hard ground. He stopped for a moment and allowed Raynare to get to her feet before moving forward.

Sensing the imminent threat, Raynare created a spear of light and stabbed it with force. Gilgamesh shifted his body weight to his right foot and threw the attack away with his left arm, turning his stance and punching Raynare's rib cage with his right fist. Though he contained plenty of attack power, his blow still produced a vicious noise, causing Raynare to topple to her side and roll to the ground.

Gilgamesh grimaced. Raynare definitely had some broken ribs.

She struggled to get up, but Gilgamesh put his heel to her throat, making sure to keep one of her wings crushed with the other foot. Almost regretfully, Raynare tried to manifest more spears of light, but Gilgamesh easily dissuaded her from doing so, putting more pressure on her windpipe.

Gilgamesh glanced into Raynare's eyes. They were open in fear. Her hands, which he held gently, trembled and scratched uselessly at Gilgamesh's legs. Cold sweat formed and pooled on her forehead.
