Chapter 67
A few days later.
It had been a few days since the meeting of Asia and Gilgamesh with Diodora Astaroth and since then Gil has become more attentive to his surroundings due to this.
Another thing is that Diodora constantly sent gifts to Asia, from jewelry to silver crosses, probably made by someone else, to flowers and other things.
Currently, only Asia and Valerie were at home.
Enkidu, Gilgamesh and Sebas had gone out to buy some things he needed like food and clothes for Asia.
Mordred was training in the dungeon to get back to normal battle rhythm, so it appears that Gilgamesh's attack, Bararaq Saiqa, did some internal damage due to the large electrical current, something that has now been resolved.
Asia's training had also started, mainly her Sacred Gear and magical training.
Her training made her approach the Sacred Gear Balance Breaker and also be able to heal people from a distance.
Another thing was the magic that was taught to Asia by Gilgamesh called Reverse, a magic that Gilgamesh had developed that reversed everything.
For example a fire attack would turn to ice, holy magic would turn demonic and healing would turn into damage, a very useful spell for Asia.
Currently Asia and Valerie were at home preparing a meal for their friends.
Valerie stopped when she felt a surge of energy enter Sebas's barrier.
*HIT**HIT*
"Asia hide and call Mordred" said Valerie to Asia who even reluctantly nodded.
It was Valerie's reflexes and instinct that could barely save her. The moment the priest grabbed her sword, he became fast, very fast, comparable to a high-class devil. His hand blurred and his sword shot towards him.
If she hadn't gone through the little training with Gilgamesh, the sword would have been able to bring her down, but luckily for her, that little training was just little for Gilgamesh and not for her, so it worked a little at least and the saved. Her prepared energy in her hand exploded and made a small explosion that jerked her body back and allowed her to avoid the swing that intended to cut through her chest, but was still fast enough to destroy her clothes.
The priest showed a small surprise when he saw the vampire dodging the attack, however, the surprise was instantly crushed and he moved again.
Meanwhile, Valerie had been sent back due to the explosion and collided with the furniture, but she immediately backed away, just in time to avoid the priest's next strike that cut through the floor.
As she pushed her body away, Valerie simultaneously created two spears of blood and threw them at the man. However, the man slashed at them and shattered them as if they were glass before moving again at an even faster speed.
'Ah, so this is it...'
Valerie knew she was going to die now, that man was too fast for her. While she could see him, her body couldn't react fast enough, she was aware of it already due to her training with Gilgamesh. Didn't she know how this man could move so fast, maybe because of his sword? But that didn't matter anymore because she was ready now.
'Gilgamesh...thank you...' She thought as she closed her eyes and accepted her fate
"Valerie-chan!"
FLASH! CLANG
The sound of Asia's scream and steel colliding with steel made Valerie instantly open her eyes again and an expression of horror appeared on her face at what she saw.
In front of her was Mordred with Clarent in his hands, and she had blocked the exorcist's sword.
"What..." The priest muttered surprised to see a girl suddenly appear through a magic circle and able to block his attack.
"I never imagined that an exorcist would reach a city of devils" Mordred said with a smile upon seeing the priest's strength, which although not very high compared to the servants, is something to consider.
The priest's eyes widened at the girl's strength as he was pushed back. He stumbled a few steps before he managed to get his balance, but when he was done, the girl was already in front of her, her sword swinging in her hand and throwing her at him.
