04x03 - Let There Be Light

[bunniefuu]

The trial imposed by the Ten Commandments.

King and Diane were turned
into Gloxinia and Drole

and sent to Britannia , years ago.

There, they encountered

Meliodas, as well as Elizabeth,
whose form was one of the Goddess Clan.

King and Diane accompanied Meliodas
and Elizabeth to a village being att*cked

by the Demon Clan.

There, Calmadios of Piety,
a Ten Commandment, appeared before them.

TEN COMMANDMENTS "PIETY"
CALMADIOS

Calmadios of the Ten Commandments?

We won't stand a chance against him!

Let's run, King!

No!

If you run,
you'll be cursed by his Commandment!

Don't run, no matter what!

Even if you say that…

How dare you do that to my Diane!

So this is the Fairy King's
true magical power.

King!

Diane! You're okay?

Yes. Surprisingly, I'm totally fine!

So much defensive power
without Heavy Metal!

We can fight!

The way we are now, we can do it!

Damned Goddesses' dogs!

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.

Harlequin!

Wake up, Harlequin!

What's going on? He won't come to.

Calling out to them is pointless.

Because their souls are no longer here.

You can see me?

Since we're both from the Fairy Clan,

maybe I can see you
because we're on the same wavelength.

Are you an acquaintance of King's?

Sorry, but unless they clear the trial,
they won't wake up.

Spirit Spear Basquias,
Second Configuration!

Guardian!

Necrosis!

Diane! I've frozen his arms!

Giga Lock!

Evil Breath!

Don't take this personally, Calmadios!

Lord Meliodas!

Full Counter!

Why?

Curse you.

I'll return soon, and my comrades will be…

Did that do it?

We pushed them back for now.

Both of you! This is no time to relax!

The Demon Clan is still behind--

What?

Where did the Demon Clan go?

I had those people go home.

You had them go home?

How did you do that
when those Demons were on a rampage?

All I did was talk to them a bit.

No one truly desires
strife like this, after all.

Elizabeth.

Hey! Thanks for your help!

Thanks to you,
we weren't completely obliterated!

Ban?

What are you doing here?

Ban? Who's that?

Oh, well, you looked like someone I know.

Really?

Anyway, you guys
are Stigma warriors, right?

Stigma?

It's the three-race alliance of
the Giant Clan and Fairy Clan

led by the Goddess Clan.

We came here from the Fairy King's Forest.

We heard that this place was under att*ck
by the Demon Clan.

Do you think we could join you?

Sure, we welcome you!

I'm Rou!

I'm Meliodas.

Wow. It's healed!

Thanks.

It's dangerous here.

Let's hurry back to our base.

So this is the Fairy King's Forest?

The difference in magical power levels
really shows.

I feel like my confidence is evaporating.

What's that?

You two sure are acting weird today.

That's our base, remember?

STIGMA HEADQUARTERS
LIGHT OF GRACE

Hey, King, do you think
that battle was our trial?

If it was,
then we must have passed, right?

If we had passed, then we should have
gone back to where we were before.

Then does that mean
the trial is still going on?

I think it's safe to assume that it is.

That's…

Could it be a Divine Lance Corporal
of the Goddess Clan?

A Divine Lance Corporal
of the Goddess Clan?

It looks like it.

So you've finally returned?

I can't believe that it took three of you
to defeat a single Ten Commandment.

Nerobasta, that's quite enough.

This magical power, could it be…

On your knees, Humans!

You stand before none other
than our guide,

Sir Ludociel of the Four Archangels!

LEADER OF THE FOUR ARCHANGELS "FLASH"
LUDOCIEL

I am pleased you have saved our comrades,
wounded by the horrors of battle.

I welcome you all here.

That's…

One of the Four Archangels
of the Goddess Clan.

Perfect timing.

I have good news for everyone.

The end of the Holy w*r, which
all races have longed for, is upon us.

Then we've come to a truce
with the Demon Clan?

The time has come to eradicate the Demons.

Did you hear?

The rebel forces in the west have been
wiped out by the Ten Commandments.

I heard they're struggling
against the Demon Clan's

Six Knights of Black or something.

Damned Demons.

But in terms of numbers,
we have the advantage.

Let's slaughter every last one
of the damned Demon Clan!

Right.

Wow, it's like a hunk of steel!

Rou?

Can I sit next to you?

Yes.

Talk about a bed of nails.

You're from the Demon Clan, right?

All that magical power
when you were fighting aside,

what kind of kid could swing
that gigantic sword with one hand?

Were you surprised?

Who wouldn't be surprised?

One of the Demon Clan
fighting alongside the Goddess Clan?

It's unheard-of.

I guess so.

But I get it.

You're actually a good guy.

As far as my family's concerned,
I'm a terrible villain.

I bet.

How do you think
this Holy w*r is going to end?

What is a Holy w*r, anyway?

There's nothing holy or evil,
or good or bad about w*r.

True.

But, Meliodas, one thing's certain,

and that's the fact that,
right now, we're comrades.

Yes.

Did you say eradicate the Demon Clan?

Ludociel! Are you out of your mind?

Lady Elizabeth.

This is a Holy w*r!

You're being rude, Nerobasta.

This is a plan that I've had from before.

You said it yourself.

That the peace all the races
have been longing for is upon us.

And yet…

How could you say such a thing
in front of Meliodas?

Lady Elizabeth, you must open your eyes.

The Demon Clan is no better
than worm excrement.

Who would ever recognize them
as life-forms equal to us?

He's the one who will succeed
the abhorrent Demon King.

Shall I go after her?

No, let her go.

That girl can't do anything
about it, anyway.

Right now, proceeding with our plan
should be our top priority.

Very slow!

We yield.

King Drole, we are grateful to you
for training us.

It's fine! I had a really good time, too.

Hey, King! What did you think?

Wasn't I awesome?

-Who's King?
-Hey, King!

Who knows?

Never mind that, Diane.

That man who calls himself
one of the Four Archangels.

He had an amazing magical power.

Yes, he did.

He might be equal
to the Ten Commandments, or even stronger.

Also, don't you sense some kind
of strong magical power within the forest?

The same magical power as Ludociel's.

What do you think it is?

Please, no more today!

Hey, don't say that.

-Come on, one more time!
-Diane?

Come on!

I said come on!

I wonder how we can end this trial.

Brother.

What's making you sigh like that?

Gerheade!

-Is that really you?
-What?

But how do you know Glo--

I mean, how do you know me?

Is it that strange for a sister
to worry about her older brother?

Sister?

Brother?

You seem a little different
than usual somehow.

Oh, hey, you're probably imagining things!

Gerheade is Gloxinia's younger sister?

In other words,
that means they're like me and Elaine.

Oh, right.

Didn't Gerheade mention that she's served
since the reign of the first Fairy King?

But the way she looks now, her aura…

She's nothing like the Gerheade I know.

Is there something on my face?

No, it's nothing.

Oh, right.

Yes?

I'm sensing this faint, mysterious
magical power from deep in the forest.

Have you forgotten? Brother?

That's the barrier Sir Ludociel put up
while you were away.

Oh, is that right?

That's the ostensible reason.

Brother, I'm sorry.

They're live bait.

To lure in the Demon Clan.

Live bait?

The atmosphere is shaking.

Magical power full of fury
is drawing closer.

Are the Ten Commandments
leading the Demon forces here?

If this is going
according to Ludociel's plan,

what does he intend to do?

I don't know the answer, either.

This might be the real trial.

You think so, too?

I'm sure it is!

Gloxinia! Drole!

I'm going to go negotiate with them.

You two protect the forest.

That would be suicidal,
even for you, Meliodas.

There are multiple
Ten Commandment members over there!

I know that.

Didn't you betray the Demon Clan?

I don't think they'll listen
to someone like you.

I have a bad feeling about this.

If you suspect that I'm in league
with them and might help them,

then determine that with your own eyes.

Wait! I'm coming, too.

If there's any fighting,
you'll definitely need my power, right?

That's true.

But whatever you do,
don't make the first move.

All right! I'm going to give it my all!

Hey, come on!

If you're going, then I want to as well.

Even with the Goddess Clan around,

if I were to leave the forest
at a time like this…

You can leave the forest to me
while you're away.

Rou!

I have to pay you back for saving us.

I may not be at your level,
but I'm confident of my skills.

Ban!

No, I mean, Rou!

What a great guy you are!

You're nothing like him.
Please take care of them.

I would like you to protect
the forest and my sister.

Sure, no problem.

Everyone, look!

The Demon Clan suddenly stopped moving!

It can't be.

Who are you?

I'm Elizabeth of the Goddess Clan.

You mustn't go any further.

Did you come all the way here just to die?

Is it all right if I devour that soul?

Over the last few days,

tens of thousands of our comrades
have been continuously vanishing.

And what we believe to be faint traces
of their magical power

are emanating from this forest.

Massive amounts of it, in fact.

Young lady,
what do you make of these facts?

How about you return them to us?

You think
we're holding your comrades c*ptive?

That can't be true.

It doesn't matter
whether you believe it or not!

We're taking our comrades back with us.

That's all.

But you still need to turn back now.

Ludociel is plotting something.

As if we'd believe you!

Or do you have any proof
that you're not bluffing?

I don't. But trust me.

I want to bring this w*r
to an end quickly.

What's wrong?

Apparently, it was that young girl
who drove away those soldiers yesterday.

It seems that looking at those eyes
makes you lose the will to fight.

If you want us to trust you,
then release our comrades!

If what you say is true,
then I'll speak with him right away.

And what will you do if he refuses?

Even if he refuses, I'll find a way.

Fine, then.

I have one more request.

What is it?

That traitor.

Hand over Meliodas.

I refuse.

He means everything to me!

If you intend to k*ll him,

then I'll fight you all right here,
by myself!

Fine. Then I guess we have a deal.

We do.

As expected of you, Lady Elizabeth.

You did a fine job of buying time.

Our preparations are complete as well.

Damn you, you tricked us, didn't you?

You misunderstand!

I don't know what's…

What?

That's a massive Ark.

So they've been trapped inside an Ark

that's sapping their physical
and magical power, but not k*lling them.

Sister!

Deri…

Ludociel, you bastard!

They've sufficiently
fulfilled their roles.

Here's their reward.

I'll end their suffering.

He m*rder*d them all!

How dare he!

Is this how you do things?

Please, listen--

No need to fume
with such a fierce look on your face.

I'll send you
to join your comrades soon enough.

That's…

So there are two of the Four Archangels?

It looks like they're serious
about rounding us all up.

This should be fun!

ALL ABOUT HELBRAM

Didn't you die?

You don't b*at around the bush, do you?

You're a ghost?

My soul resides in Harlequin's helmet.

The only ones who can see me are Harlequin

and some of the Fairy Clan, I guess.

So I'm a member of the Fairy Clan?

Next time on
The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods,

"The Ten Commandments vs. The Archangels."

You're just a pig.
