Chapter 317

Even though he had been warned by Gilgamesh to stay out of trouble, how could he call himself a hero if he simply did nothing in the face of what he was seeing.

And with this in mind Achilles stepped forward.

In an instant Achilles leaped from where he was standing and landed right in front of the clashing Grim Reapers.

In one swift motion they all drew their scythes and prepared for battle.

"Who dares stand in our way?" shouted one of the Grim Reapers in anger.

Achilles calmly stepped out of the cloud of dust that had been generated by his landing.

"I am Achilles, the one who will bring death to you" said the Demigod as he raised his spear.

"You human madito, to oppose the servants of Lord Hades, is a crime with the punishment of death" shouted one of the Grim Reapers as he advanced against Achilles.

The Reaper stepped forward as he jumped and swung his scythe, but before it could hit Achilles, Achilles just ducked and swung his spear cutting the Grim Reaper in half.

"Weak" grumbled Achilles before looking at all the Grim Reapers.

"N-no fear, he's only one" shouted another of the Reapers as they all advanced against Achilles.

All the Grim Reapers immediately advanced towards Achilles as they advanced with their scythes.

The Grim Reapers' scythes are called [Death Scythes], they have the power to shorten the life of whoever they cut down with a curse.

Achilles didn't even hesitate as he fired with his divine speed and swung his spear with divine mastery.

The Grim Reapers didn't even have time to react as they were sliced apart with divine speed.

Achilles turned around as he prepared to kill the last Reaper, but before he could do so three golden flashes hit the Grim Reaper killing him, and this surprised Achilles.

But looking at the Grim Reaper's body the Greek Hero saw that the golden lights were actually three swords.

And Achilles only knew one person who used weapons that way....

"So this is where you were."

The voice Achilles heard made him freeze as nervous sweat dripped down his face.

[Alphecca Tyrant] is considered one of the Sacred Relics alongside the [True Longinus], [Sephiroth Grail] and [Incinerate Anthem]. It is the "sacred nail" that nailed Christ to the cross.

The Iron Crown of Lombardy was a legendary relic connected to Christianity and is said to contain the nails that pierced Jesus Christ. The relic is said to have disappeared and, according to Grigori, incorporated into the Sacred Gear system, becoming a new kind of Longinus.

[Alphecca Tyrant] originally manifested in a possessor who used the Longinus ability to brainwash an entire city in a European country. When the Three Factions heard about this, they tried to negotiate with the possessor, but could not come to an agreement, because the possessor committed suicide. And later it manifested itself in Meredith.

This Sacred Gear allows the bearer to attack using nails made of sacred aura, capable of brainwashing a person by making them listen to a conversion for several minutes and entering certain keywords, however, it was limited to humans. At most, the [Alphecca Tyrant] allowed a previous owner, an unidentified instructor, to dominate a single city.

It can also rewrite the perception and concepts of people affected by them, as well as being able to affect and manipulate Sacred Gear users and even Longinus owners

As a Sacred Relic, the nails created using [Alphecca Tyrant] are also effective against creatures of darkness, such as Devils and Vampires, most being eliminated if hit directly by them. Although they can be destroyed by a powerful attack form. These nails can break seals like the ones used to seal Trihexa and drive believers insane if they look at them.

Based on its potential to control even other Longinus users, depending on the user, [Alphecca Tyrant] can be used to dominate or destroy the world using armies of Sacred Gear users.

It was a really scary Sacred Gear.

"I see, I am Gilgamesh and this is Achilles" said the King of Heroes introducing himself while Achilles nodded.

But before they could say anything else Gilgamesh stopped and together with Achilles they looked at one point and narrowed their eyes.

"Well, unfortunately we don't have much time, so I have a question: would you like to come with us?" asked Gilgamesh making Meredith look surprised.

"With you?"

"Yes, I promise you will be safe and after that we will take you back home" said Gilgamesh calmly.

"Right" said Meredith nodding.

Gilgamesh gave a slight smile, "Okay, but now sleep.

As soon as Gilgamesh said this, Meredith fell asleep and Achilles picked her up.

Gilgamesh and Achilles' eyes turned to a point in front of them.
