Squelch!
The Yin-Yang Release longsword pierced through his heart in that instant, and Uchiha Shin appeared behind him.
"Quit yapping. Aren't you tired of it?" His calm words delivered one final trampling of a king's dignity. Powerful Yin-Yang Release surged through the sword and into Gilgamesh's body, wildly destroying every cell. Even dragon's blood could not repair the damage.
