04x18 - March of the Saints

[bunniefuu]

To become the Demon King, Meliodas,
who is again the Ten Commandments' leader,

ordered Zeldris and Estarossa
to retrieve the Commandments.

Meanwhile, in an attempt
to recover Meliodas' emotions,

Ban left for Purgatory,

and Elizabeth, who was being held c*ptive,
escaped from Camelot Castle.

Grayroad's commandment has been stolen.

It must have been that time.

Meliodas, that's how desperate you were?

This is really bad!

There's an overwhelming magical power
approaching from Camelot!

But my magical power is completely drained
from that battle just now.

It isn't Mr. Chandler, is it?

Escanor! Time to transform!

It's nighttime, so it's impossible!

Everyone, calm down.

Merlin?

Let me negotiate.

Negotiate?

When you don't even know
who it is, or what they might do?

I have a pretty good idea
of what they're after.

So you're the one who came?

Then this will be quick, Zeldris.

Who are you?

I've never seen you before.

That's quite upsetting.

What?

How about now?

Don't tell me that the Merlin
Meliodas was talking about was you…

What was that?

I don't know.

The girl who received a blessing
from the Demon King and the Supreme Deity!

-What?
-What?

-What?
-What?

Merlin's the girl who received a blessing
from the Demon King and the Supreme Deity?

The complete opposite
of the princess and the captain.

It's too noisy here.

Let's go talk, just the two of us.

A wise decision.

Hey, Merlin!

A strand of hair?

This is a tale of ancient times,

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

Meliodas has awakened as the leader
of the Ten Commandments,

the Demon Clan's elite troops.

To save Britannia,
now enveloped in darkness,

and to save her beloved from destruction,

a princess makes a decision.

The immortal order of knights,
the Seven Deadly Sins…

now rise again.

A FEW DAYS EARLIER

Run away quickly!

Silken Skewer!

I won't let you!

Purge!

All right.

-Blast!
-Purge!

COMBINED TECHNIQUE, HOLY SHOCK

Please try not to overdo it.

Are you still in pain?

I'm fine.

Outrageous!

Right now, Britannia is teeming
with Demons wherever you go,

and you've come all this way
for a secret date?

I'm so appalled, I'm speechless!

But aren't you here for a secret date,
too, old man?

With whom?

Don't get mad.

We're on a journey

to find a certain Holy Knight
and the female mage who kidnapped him.

Would you happen to know anything?

A Holy Knight and a female mage?

I don't think so.

Enough.

Learn your lesson
and never do anything so stupid--

Be careful getting home, you two.

-Okay!
-Okay!

Hey, Hendy!

So beautiful…

Your…

Gil?

Lady Margaret?

What's wrong?

Just now…

No. It was my imagination.

The rustling of the wind
must have sounded like someone whispering.

I understand why you would be angry.

I caused you and Gil
to suffer for ten years,

encouraged Vivian,
and now you have to travel with me.

The agony must honestly be unbearable.

Indeed.

I'm so angry, I don't know what to do.

Wait, please!

If we're talking about responsibility,
then I--

That's not it!

To have to be protected
and only able to pray,

I'm angry at myself
for being so powerless.

Even as we speak,

Vivian is humiliating Gil.

I'm very grateful to you both.

I could never go on a journey
on my own, after all.

Lady Margaret, it's getting late,
so why don't you retire for the night?

I think I will.

What's the matter?

I'll be right back.

Please don't go too far.

All right.

-Hey, Dreyfus.
-Yes?

Those two we rescued earlier.

Yes, young people these days…

Not that.

I think Lady Margaret
must have felt lonely.

Even though it may seem trivial to others,

I think she wishes
she could've done that with Gil.

We deprived those two
of that precious time together.

That's why I want to make amends,
whatever it takes.

Yes. Let's rescue Gil, no matter what.

And we also have to tell him
what my brother said.

Yes.

Well, surprisingly, it seems you're able
to understand a woman's feelings.

Don't tease me. I've just gotten older.

Hey, she's been gone for a while.
Maybe she's taking a leak?

I take back what I said.

Is that you, Gil?

Lady Margaret!

Lady Margaret, please answer us!

Where did she go?

Could she be somewhere, hurt?

Dreyfus, I have a bad feeling about this.

It's just like what we experienced in
that huge hole in Danafall, ten years ago.

What's that?

Dreyfus, over there!

Why would she enter a place like this?

What's this?

It's a Druid altar.

You're not Gil. Who are you?

Why did you call to me?

Margaret.

Owner of a dignified,
beautiful, and noble soul.

I have been waiting for someone like you.

To hear your prayers,
and make your wish come true.

Whose voice is this?

My wish?

However, your devotion is essential.

You mustn't!

Don't listen to what it says!

If it means getting Gil back from Vivian,

then I'll endure anything.

Pur--

I can feel the magical power flowing.

To have such affinity
with my magical power…

Such a fine vessel!

This extraordinary magical power.
No, this isn't one of my memories.

It's one of Fraudrin's.

I am one of the Four Archangels,

Ludociel of the Goddess Clan.

Serve me, Human.

Become a member of Stigma,

and let us annihilate
the Demon Clan together!

During the Holy w*r , years ago,

a sudden, drastic shift in the tide of w*r
tipped the balance of power,

and the Goddess Clan was forced
to make an agonizing decision.

We sacrificed our physical bodies
in order to seal the Demon Clan.

We inhabited various relics
and waited for the time of our revival.

Needless to say, we were aware.
That we were only prolonging it.

Oh, so there you are.

If we were to finish things
once and for all,

one of us would have to be destroyed.

MEANWHILE, ON ANOTHER b*ttlefield

Stand your ground!

Protect this fortress no matter what!

Let me eat your soul!

What?

We are your guides.

My words are true.

My actions are just.

Serve me, Humans.

Become a member of Stigma, and let us
annihilate the Demon Clan together!

Thunderclap Strike!

LIONES HOLY KNIGHT
GILTHUNDER

It looks like this wall
is also protected by magical power.

Gil, where are you?

Jeez.

You're not still struggling
in vain, are you?

I did it! I'm outside!

It can't be!

Am I above the clouds?

My master discovered it.

Master said it must be
one of the Celestial palaces

built by the Goddess Clan long ago.

Just give up, Gil!

Liones has been destroyed already.

And unfortunately, Margaret, too.

If we had stayed, we would have been
k*lled by the Ten Commandments.

Margaret.

If I had to die,
I wish it could've been with you.

No, Gil! Don't say something so sad!

You and I have to live on for her sake!

Shut up!

One more word out of you…

I know! Let's have a baby together!

Margaret, Gil is mine now!

Serves you right!

I've fulfilled my promise.

I've saved your lover,
and vanquished the hateful witch.

Margaret? It can't be…

Is it you?

It's you, Gil, right?

Now it's your turn
to fulfill your promise.

Gil!

Margaret!

Margaret, what's wrong?

This is terrible! He went too far!

Hendy! Give me a hand!

Grand Master Dreyfus!

No, you're one of the Ten Commandments.

What did you do to Margaret?

It's me, the real Dreyfus!

Anyway, Hendy!

Hendy?

This is unbelievable.

Who knew a Druid altar
would lead to the heavens like this?

What's wrong, Sir Ludociel?

I sense a powerful magical power.

And it's unspeakably sinister.

Who would've thought
that I'd run into a big sh*t like you.

Allying with neither the Demons
nor the Goddesses,

Belialuin, the capital of the wizards,
remained neutral.

There, a miraculous child prodigy
with infinite magical power was born.

Rumors about her spread like wildfire
to both the Demon and Celestial Realms,

and both gods tried to draw the child
to their side.

The wizards of Belialuin
protested vehemently.

They declared the child's power
was their property.

But the child, defying the wizards, began
negotiations with the two gods on her own.

She told them that she'd side with
whoever gave her the gift she liked most.

The Demon King bestowed upon the child

all knowledge
of the Demon Realm's secret techniques,

and protection
from the Goddess' brainwashing spells.

The Supreme Deity gave her protection

that would neutralize all dark curses,
even Commandments.

But as soon as the child accepted
these blessings, she rejected both gods.

I can't believe
that she would deceive the gods.

Furious, the two gods…

enveloped the capital
with a fog of curses and death,

and unleashed a torrential rain
of fire and lightning.

They destroyed Belialuin.

But she possessed both divine protection
and the magical power "Infinity,"

so the child easily escaped unscathed,
and vanished.

I can't believe that I'm meeting
with that infamous big sh*t.

So you call yourself Merlin now?

What are you plotting this time?

Answer me.

You overestimate me.

Anyway, I don't matter.

More importantly,
isn't this what you're after?

What I don't understand, Zeldris,

is why someone who detests his brother,

the traitor, Meliodas,
would gather the Commandments for him.

What benefit is there
in giving him the Ten Commandments,

the fragments of the Demon King's power,
and making him the Demon King?

Make the captain the Demon King?

I'm not obligated to answer that.

But I have no intention of fighting you.

Just hand that over,
and I'll let you all go.

I see you want to make a deal.

I'm a bit reluctant to part with it,
but I have no choice.

You…

It's not that I mind relinquishing it,

but frankly,
that doesn't balance things out.

Why not add something to sweeten things?

Let's hear it.

I want you to hand over Elizabeth.

She only has a little over two days left.

I can't just leave her there
in that den of Demons.

Sorry, but that's a no.

Meliodas would definitely reject that.

He's trying to acquire
the Demon King's power

in order to lift that curse, after all.

But rest assured.

As long as
she's under Meliodas' protection,

no one can lay a hand on her.

I'll trust you on that.
But then we don't have a deal, do we?

So request something else.

All right,
then hand over the king of Camelot.

King Arthur.

Just as I thought, Merlin is…

I can't do that either.

Unfortunately,
I don't know the king's name or face.

Therefore, I can't guarantee it.

I've been irritated the last few days

because an unknown attacker
has been leaving behind heavy casualties.

So I can't guarantee the safety
of some random weakling.

Fine.

Then release the Holy Knights and citizens
enslaved by the Piety Commandment.

Easily done.

And make sure that
your minion Demons don't interfere.

Fine.

Where am I?

What have we been doing all this…

Demons!

Now it's your turn.

Hurry up and cancel the spell.

Oh, no, sorry, before I do that.

For some reason, being in this form
really makes my shoulders stiff.

Stop the poor acting and do it now!

Really, Merlin,
going out of your way to upset him.

Any second now.

Let me tell you,

that at this moment, I've focused
my every nerve on your movements.

If you do anything strange,
I'll strike immediately!

So don't do anything…

Well, I won't.

Accept it.

This is just my greeting at the beginning.

ALL ABOUT CURSE ENGAGE

This ring's curse activates

when Vivian uses
a magical ability on Gilthunder

or when Gilthunder
utters the word "Remada."

Her whole body experiences a piercing pain
and a mark is left on her.

This mark gets bigger
every time it's activated,

and if it happens enough, she dies.

That's how I punish a foolish disciple.

I'm so envious!

I want to be punished
by you, too, Ms. Merlin!

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

"The Holy w*r Pact."
