Chương 167: Gil DxD: Chapter 167

They both nodded.

"Recently, The sacred swords Excaliburs that were kept by the Vatican headquarters: Catholic Church, Protestant Church and Eastern Orthodox Church were stolen" said Irina to everyone.

"Excalibur itself does not exist" said Rias.

"I am sorry. One of my servants, recently became a demon, so can we continue this conversation by explaining about Excalibur?" asked Rias and Shidou Irina agreed to the request.

"Ise-kun. Excalibur broke in the war a long time ago." said Irina to her childhood friend who stared at that perplexed.

"Now, it looks like this." said Xenovia as she took her sword from her back and removed the cloth that covered it. It was a sword that had an appearance like a two-handed sword with a handle long enough to be held with 3 hands with a cross on the hilt. It contained an axe-shaped guard and a second chain-like grip connecting the guard to the blade, the blade itself being huge and long ending with 3 prongs. The moment the demons saw the sword a shiver ran down everyone's spine.

"The Excalibur I have is the Excalibur Destruction. It is one of the seven holy swords that were created. The Catholic Church is in control of this one" Xenovia said as she wrapped her sword in her cloth again. Irina also picked up something that looked like a long rope. This rope began to move as if it were alive... The rope changed its shape in front of me and turned into a katana.

"Mine is the Excalibur Mimic. I can change its shape into anything I want so it is very useful to carry. As it is, each Excalibur has its own unique ability. This one is in the possession of the Protestant Church." She said proudly. In the corner of his eyes, Gilgamesh caught Kiba's expression becoming more savage, his fist clenched with anger.

"So, what do the stolen Excaliburs have to do with this country located in the east of the World?" asked Sona curiously.

"The Catholic Church was in possession of two Excaliburs including mine. The Protestant Church also possessed two. The Eastern Orthodox Church owned two as well. The last one disappeared in the previous war between God, demons and fallen angels. One Excalibur was stolen from each Church. Those who stole them fled to Japan, and brought them to this city." informed Xenovia seriously.

"It seems that my territory is full of incidents. So, it was who stole the Excaliburs?" asked Rias as he rested his head on his arm.

"It was the Grigori who stole them." The demons widened their eyes at that moment.

"The holy swords were taken by the organization of fallen angels? No doubt about it. But surely it must be the fallen angels who stole them. For high-class demons, holy swords are not of much interest." said Rias seriously"We know that the main culprit for the theft of the Excaliburs is one of the leaders of the Grigori, Kokabiel" informed Xenovia. Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

"Our order... No. Our order is not to have any demons meddle in the battle between us and the fallen angels for the Excaliburs. In other words, we have come here to tell you not to interfere in this incident." spoke Xenovia. Rias' eyes changed after hearing the way Xenovia spoke.

"That way of speaking. Is it a restriction? Are you thinking that we can collaborate with the fallen angels? That maybe we can join them in doing something with the Excaliburs?"

"HQ thinks that can't be impossible." They both began to argue, Rias and Xenovia, as they began to irritate Gilgamesh a bit.

"Bosses don't trust demons and fallen angels. We were ordered as if the holy swords were taken from God, then would the demons also be happy to have it? The fallen angels could also profit from it. For these reasons it will not be strange for them to form an alliance with you. This is why we are giving you a warning. If you form an alliance with Kokabiel, the leader of the fallen angels, then we will eliminate all of you. Even though you are Maou's younger sister, according to our boss."

Xenovia said casually without caring about the glint in Rias' eyes"... If you know that I am the sister of a Maou, then that means you have a lot of connections with the higher-ups in the Church. So I'll say it. We will not form an alliance with the fallen angels, ever. In the name of the Gremory house. I will not do something that will tarnish the name of our Maou!" Xenovia laughed.

"Fu. Hearing what is good enough. I had to warn you just in case Kokabiel is hiding in the city along with three Excaliburs. If something were to happen I would be the one to be hated by the gang at the church headquarters. Well, let's not ask for cooperation."

"You want to retrieve the Excaliburs from the leader of the fallen angels with only two of you? It's reckless. Are you guys trying to get yourselves killed?" Rias said in an astonished voice. But Shidou Irina and Xenovia said with steady eyes.

"Yes."

"I have the same opinion as Irina, but if it is possible I don't want to die."

"... Did you come here to Japan prepared to die? The belief in your doctrine is extreme, as always."

"Don't speak ill of our beliefs, Rias Gremory."

"Right. Also the Church decided that it would be better for us to eliminate all the Excaliburs at once than to leave them in the hands of the fallen angels. Our minimum goal is to get the Excaliburs from the fallen angels. To achieve this, it is okay for us to die. The only way to fight the Excaliburs are with other Excaliburs."

"You sound confident. Do you have a secret weapon?" asked Sona seria.

"Perhaps. I'll leave that to your imagination," said Xenovia. Gilgamesh at that moment intervenes.

"Well that's it, they will be allowed to settle their matter and will not meddle in your Gremory-san and Sitri-san" said Gilgamesh seriously.

"Very well" said Sona receiving a nod Rias.

"Very well senpai" said Xenovia receiving a nod from Irina. All the demons turned their surprised gazes to Gilgamesh.

"Do you know them?" asked Rias in surprise and with caution. Gilgamesh looked at her impassively.

"They called me senpai Rias, what do you think?" asked Gilgamesh.

"... You were from the Church" said Sona, with quick deduction, to everyone's perplexity.

"Yes, that was some time ago, now I'm out, but Xenovia and Irina are friends of mine" said Gilgamesh seriously. Then a cold and angry voice spoke up.

"Your friend then" It was Kiba. The boy practically stared at Gilgamesh, his blue eyes filled with a black emotion that rages while his face contained a surprising hatred.

"You can tell..." Gilgamesh said to him, his tone was monotone and his face impassive.

"Your friend from the Church... you were from the Church" Kiba repeated, "No wonder you are strong and know how to use your power." He stated making my eyes narrow.

"Excuse me?" Gilgamesh asked coldly.

"Yuuto..." Rias called out and tried to warn him, but Kiba ignored her, his eyes still staring at Gilgamesh.

"The Church probably sent him here to spy on us!" Kiba spat angrily, "We should have known, there is no other reason for his sudden increase in power! Those Fallen Angels targeting you and you knew your cover would soon blow, so you try to intimidate us by showing off your Longinus power so we can't act frankly for you!" He growled at Gilgamesh.
