04x02 - Memories of the Holy w*r

[bunniefuu]

Peace has returned
to the Kingdom of Liones.

But Britannia remains under the control

of the Demon Clan,
led by the Ten Commandments.

Save us!

Meliodas and the others
patrolled the neighboring villages,

and continued to battle the Demon Clan.

Full Counter!

Meanwhile, King and Diane, to escape
the thr*at of the Ten Commandments,

fled to the Fairy King's Forest.

THE FAIRY KING'S FOREST

I saw them.

I had no idea you were there.

Sorry, Diane!

It's not your fault, King.

I'm the one who didn't check first.

I can't believe it.
I shouldn't have been dancing.

No, as Fairy King,
I need to be more aware of things, but…

There's no sign at all
that they're growing.

There's nothing to be ashamed of,
even if nothing's growing.

You're you, after all, King.

Thanks, Diane.

Wait!

By "nothing's growing,"
you were talking about these, right?

These? Which do you mean?

This is a tale of ancient times,

when the human and non-human worlds
had not yet split.

The Ten Commandments,
the Demon Clan's elite troops,

have been released
from a , -year-old seal.

Their rule extends over all of Britannia,
and a dark age approaches.

After a deadly struggle, the Kingdom
of Liones drove back the Ten Commandments.

The counteroffensive to liberate Britannia
was about to begin.

Standing in that vanguard is the pride of
the kingdom, a legendary order of knights.

They're called the Seven Deadly Sins.

I wonder what everyone
who stayed in Liones is doing right now.

Ever since Meliodas was defeated
by the Ten Commandments,

the Demon Clan has been running rampant
across Britannia, I hear.

There's a high chance
that Liones is being att*cked as well.

Meliodas was a good kid.

The way he was k*lled was so horrible.

In the end, I never…

understood anything about him.

Still, I wish he had survived.

Yes.

Hey, how come this Fairy King's Forest
isn't being att*cked by the Demons?

This forest has a barrier around it,
which screens everything.

As to whether or not
it should be allowed to enter.

Matrona is grateful that
you let her, Zalpa, and his family inside.

But there's one thing I'm worried about.

What?

I don't know about the Demon Clan,

but it wouldn't be strange

if the Fairy King
and Giant King were detected.

Gloxinia and Drole?

Yes.

But since the day Meliodas was k*lled,
they haven't made any significant moves.

To be honest, that's ominous.

Yes. Let's make sure to stay alert.

The way we are now,
we don't have a chance of b*ating them.

This way!

Brother, run away, quick!

Run, or you'll get eaten!

WARRIOR CHIEF OF THE GIANT CLAN
MATRONA

Hey, Oslo!

BLACK HOUND
OSLO

Hey, stop it! Come on, stop! Cut it out!

I said cut it out!

ADVISER TO THE FAIRY KING
GERHEADE

Diane, you're back?

Why don't you take a dip, too, Matrona?

I think I will.

Watch your feet.

I hate it when you lick me!

Oh, my!

They're so carefree.

Your Majesty!

What is it, Gerheade?

I've been sensing an odd gaze
for a little while.

What kind of gaze?

I can't really say for sure.

Well, it could just be my imagination.

Nevertheless,
everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.

Hey, King! Let's all dance!

What? Oh, okay!

Come on!

Still, is Harlequin and Diane's story
to be believed?

If Gloxinia is alive,
and siding with the Demon Clan…

then that incident , years ago
must have been his trigger.

Lady Gerheade!

I'm really glad. You're alive.

What were we doing just now?

His Majesty, the Fairy King!

Diane has vanished?

Lady Gerheade! Did you notice anything?

Lady Gerheade?

I don't know.

Something's just welling up.

You're alive.

That voice was…

But…

All right, you two. Open your eyes.

Diane!

King!

Where are we?

We were just
in the Fairy King's Forest, and…

Harlequin, this is
the worst possible situation.

Helbram, why--

TEN COMMANDMENTS "PATIENCE"
DROLE

Drole.

Gloxinia! When did you…

TEN COMMANDMENTS "REPOSE"
GLOXINIA

I'll handle this!

I'm not running, either!

I'm glad I'm with you at the end.

Yes.

Full strength from the start, okay?

You began with the right answer.

With your abilities, unless you att*ck us
like your life depends on it,

my fun wouldn't last three seconds.

True Spirit Spear Chastiefol,
Second Configuration!

Guardian!

All right!

If it hits the wall with that much force,
it might open an escape route!

The wall is elastic?

Was this a structure made
using magical power?

This is no time to be distracted.

Spirit Spear Basquias,
Second Configuration!

Guardian!

What is…

Such unbelievable power!

If I hadn't used Heavy Metal right away,
it would've been bad.

But I don't plan on losing, either!

Crazy Rush!

He dodged that?

Again?

No.

It's not that he's dodging.

He's dancing!

My magical power is gone?

Young lady.

You really do not seem to understand.

The Giant Clan's power does not only come
from their muscles.

Our strength is determined
by how much of the earth's power

we can convert into our bodies.

Heavy Metal!

True Spirit Spear Chastiefol,
Fifth Configuration!

Increase!

It vanished?

It looks like that's your current limit.

Current Fairy King.

You're also far too inadequate
to fight the Ten Commandments.

I can't believe that
the Fairy King still hasn't grown wings.

It's an unheard-of oddity!

At this rate, it'll be hard for you
to maintain the True Spirit Spear,

let alone unleash a barrage.

If you're going to k*ll me…

just do it already!

Agreed.

Then let's have you die!

Diane. Sorry.

I couldn't protect you.

However, that's only if
you two fail to meet our expectations.

We will now bestow upon you a trial.

We will have you two surpass us!

Spirit Spear Basquias,
Seventh Configuration.

Moon Rose, Droplet of Life.

No way.

Our wounds are healed!

The droplet I've been storing is now gone.

What?

What are you doing? Are you mocking us?

Starting now,
we're going to retrain you two.

That's what I said.

What?

What's that supposed to mean?

It's just as he said.

You two are currently far too weak.

If Meliodas were to say it…

"You've got a long way to go."

You snickered for the first time in ages!

A blunder.

I don't have any idea what you mean!

To start with, both of you
are Ten Commandments!

You're our enemies!

Well, I understand how you feel.

However, we are not of the Demon Clan.

In the past, we fought
against the Demon Clan,

as king of the Giant Clan
and king of the Fairy Clan.

Against the Demon Clan?

But during that battle,

we were forced to make a certain choice,
which led us to how you see us now.

After thinking about it,
we made the right choice.

At least that's what we firmly believed
until the other day

when we exchanged blows
with Meliodas again.

We'd really like for you to prove it.

Whether our choice
was the right one, or not.

What?

And we'll promise you.

That this trial will definitely lead
to immense growth for you.

But needless to say,
the price you pay will be steep.

If you make one mistake, you'll die.

We won't force you.

Take your time thinking it over together.

-I'll do it!
-I'll do it!

-What?
-What?

It's too dangerous for you!

It's the same for you, King!

But I'm worried about you.

-Well then, I'm sturdier than you!
-Our juniors aren't very dependable.

That's not the issue!

I commend your enthusiasm.

This is a spell I learned
from our other friend.

Where am I?

What are we…

What? Is this mine?

Is this…

What…

Diane!

No!

I have four arms now!

What's going on with my body?

Calm down, Diane!

It is you, right?

King?

Yes.

What happened to us?

If the others see us like this,
they'll misunderstand!

That's not the only thing.

I don't remember this landscape at all.

Something's coming!

This sinister magical power…

It's definitely the Demon Clan!

And it's Ten Commandment-level!

But…

-Meliodas?
-Meliodas?

Hey! You're here early.

No way! But you d*ed a month ago!

Jeez, Drole,
your jokes are as bad as ever.

You should say something, too, Gloxinia.

What?

No, you're mistaken.
I'm King, and this is Diane!

We look like this
because we're in a certain situation.

What do you mean, like this?
You look like you always have.

-What?
-What?

And who are King and Diane?

Well…

Are you two okay?

Oh, there you are.

What? Why are you here?

What do you mean?

The four of us
were supposed to meet here, remember?

But that appearance is…

Those things on your back, are they…

Impossible!

They're not like the Fairy Clan's wings.

Of course, they're not.

Elizabeth is from
the Goddess Clan, after all.

Lady Elizabeth is…

…from the Goddess Clan?

All right! Let's get going!

What? Where?

Wait for me!

I said wait!

Diane, this might be Britannia
, years ago.

What?

For one of the Goddess Clan
to be right in front of us…

They exhausted all of their powers
in the Great w*r,

and should've lost their physical forms.

It should be the same for this Britannia.

There's no trace
of any landscapes we know.

And also…

And also, our eyes.

What?

We are those two
from before they became Ten Commandments.

But why is Elizabeth here,
, years in the past?

It's true that
she looks exactly like Lady Elizabeth.

For now, we should act as if we're
the Giant King and Fairy King of this era.

You're right.

After the forest,
we'll reach the Valley of Fossils!

Are you ready?

What? Ready for what?

This is…

What a bloody m*ssacre!

This is so cruel.

How can we fight these enemies?

Meliodas is so awesome!

Dang it.

The two of us
will just be a burden on him.

Who is this guy?

This Demon's magical power
is off the charts!

I am a Ten Commandment.

Calmadios of Piety.

ALL ABOUT THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF DEMON
ALBION

When talking about the Demon Clan,
you can't forget the giant Albion.

Enormous weapons made by the Demon Clan
in the wars of old,

their Power Level is a whopping , !

Even all the Holy Knights
put together are no match!

I'd take them down, though, no sweat.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods,
