He was able to defeat Xenovia who owned Durandal and Ascalon, Griselda who is considered one of the strongest female Exorcists, Sona and Irina where Irina is a reincarnated Angel and even Dulio who was considered the Strongest Exorcist who owned Longinus [Zenith Tempest] in the novel.
Gilgamesh knew Ewald Cristaldi from his time in the Church, although they cannot be considered friends, they did some missions together, but few as Gilgamesh prefers to work alone.
Ewald Cristaldi also had his own thoughts about Gilgamesh.
It was a big surprise to the Church at that time when Seraphim Gabriel had appeared with a user of [Longinus Sacred Gear] who was still a descendant of the King of Heroes.
He had been very happy with someone like that coming into the church next door.
And by the time Ewald Cristaldi saw Gilgamesh's frightening development in the Church, within a few months he had become one of the few to be a High Class Exorcist.
Ewald Cristaldi still remembered the surprise he had when he found out that Gilgamesh had defeated Vasco Strada.
Surprise is little, for someone so young to be able to defeat the man known as the Summit of Humanity and not even wear a [Sacred Gear].
He soon became the greatest Exorcist who ever lived.
But Ewald Cristaldi also remembered how Gilgamesh was inside the Church, he was someone who didn't mind making friends and lived isolated, there were few people he talked to and those who approached him.
Gilgamesh had a good relationship with Griselda Quarta due to her helping him train, the female exorcist even saw Gilgamesh as her son, he also had great friendship with Xenovia Quarta and Irina Shidou, Griselda's disciples.
And also with Siegfried and Jeanne who were his group in the Church but now turned traitors just before Gilgamesh left.
Besides the boy having a great respect for Vasco Strada and always helping the strongest exorcist, besides his great relationship with Seraphim Gabriel, which was no secret to anyone who liked Gilgamesh too much.
Everyone was very surprised when Gilgamesh left the Church, although he said he would help if they needed it, Ewald Cristaldi couldn't help but feel betrayed.
When Ewald Cristaldi came to town, at the request of Vasco Strada to rescue Asia, he had no idea that Gilgamesh lived here, he just knew Asia lived with a Vampire or rather Dhampir.
It was really scary to see Gilgamesh here, even more so with these people beside him.

Ewald Cristaldi could feel their power emanating in waves, it was so great that it was overwhelming and even difficult to breathe.
Looking past them, Ewald Cristaldi began to analyze each one.
First that Dhampir he almost killed, Ewald Cristaldi could feel her power leaking and that power would be compared to an Ultimate class devil, Ewald Cristaldi doubted he could beat Dhampir in a fair fight, after all he had only taken her by surprise, after all Ewald Cristaldi only had one of his Excalibur fragments, normally he had three of them, so the story would be different.
After his gaze passed the girl with the sword he fought, Ewald Cristaldi couldn't help but sweat with the power emanating from her, it was so big, maybe bigger than a Maou Class Devil, and it seems the girl wasn't 100% , due to the strength that the girl showed he did not doubt that she could even break his Excalibur fragment if she wanted.
But his gaze froze as he looked at the last three.
Looking at Enkidu, not that he knew his name, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed, the power emanating from the Weapon of the Gods was gigantic, but it didn't prove to be overwhelming, but smooth and controlled, as if it were nature, but Ewald Cristaldi was sure that the power of this man, or woman, he was not sure, was as great as a being of the God Class.
The older man behind Gilgamesh was no different, while the green-haired being was calm and gentle as nature, the older man was overwhelming, as if it were the very destruction that was there, Ewald Cristaldi swore that he had seen a huge being, resembling a dragon, behind the man, and this energy emanating from the man was surely of a God-class being, the aura seemed so destructive that it would make even Sirzechs Lucifer look weak.
Already when his gaze stopped on Gilgamesh he couldn't help but widen his eyes, the power of the demigod was tens of times greater than the last time they saw each other, if at fifteen years old and without Sacred Gear he could beat Vasco Strada, Ewald didn't want to imagine his power level with the Sacred Gear right now, maybe he even got into the 10 Strongest Existences.
Ewald Cristaldi only knew one thing.
He couldn't win this battle, fighting them would be the same as bringing about death.
And seeing how they reacted when he threatened one of them, it wasn't going to end well.
Gilgamesh was also looking at Ewald Cristaldi, or rather at the sword in his hand.
One of the Excalibur fragments.
That weapon didn't even deserve to be called Excalibur, hell it didn't even deserve to be in the same space as the real one.
The famous sword of Arturia Pendragon reduced to this.
If it were placed in the Noble Phantasms category, this sword would only be a tier D Noble Phantasm! Is it true that it would be Type C if it hit a devil and was wielded by a suitable user, perhaps someone like Ewald, but in the hands of a simple exorcist? I could break it with just my hand.
It is true that the Excalibur in this world was not forged by the Lady of the Lake, nor was it a crystallized phenomenon, using humanity's desires as a basis. Instead, it was forged by the God of the Bible, by the hand of the God thought to be the creator of human beings. I thought it would be enough to at least count this as a stand-in.
However, when it was broken and God was dead, no one could strengthen it. According to the history I got of this sword from the Church, Heaven and the Church wanted to reshape the sword through alchemy, but they failed. The sword could not be recreated by them. So they made seven pieces, but in the end it was still not complete and the swords were nothing but pale imitations.
Yes, they had some unique powers and were probably quite dangerous, but just for devils and also, the sword was fragile.
"Thank you Asia-chan" said Mordred beside Gilgamesh to Asia healing with her Sacred Gear.
Asia just smiles kindly at Mordred.
