03x03 - Sacred Treasure Lostvayne

[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 race.

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

by the Demon race.

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?

Yeah. 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 race'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.

EPISODE THREE: LET THERE BE LIGHT

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 race,

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 Rock!

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 race is still behind--

What?

Where'd the Demon race 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, you looked like someone I know.

Really? Anyway, you guys are Stigma warriors, right?

Stigma?

It's the three-race alliance of the Giant and Fairy races led by the Goddess race.

We came here from the Fairy King's Forest.

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

Do you think we could join you?

Sure, we welcome you!

I'm Rou!

I'm Meliodas.

Whoa. It's healed!

Thanks.

It's dangerous here.

Let's hurry back to our base.

So this is the Fairy King's Forest, huh?

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've passed, right?

If we'd passed, then we should've 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 race?

A Divine Lance Corporal of the Goddess race?

It looks like it.

So you've finally returned?

To think 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 race.

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 race?

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 race'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 race!

Right.

Wow, it's like a hunk of steel!

Rou?

Can I sit next to you?

Yeah.

Talk about a bed of nails, huh?

You're from the Demon race, 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 race fighting alongside the Goddess race?

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.

Yeah.

Did you say eradicate the Demon race?

Ludociel! Are you out of your mind?

Lady Elizabeth.

This 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 race 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.

We yield.

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

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

Hey, King! What did you think? Wasn't I awesome?

Who's King?

Who knows.

Never mind that, Diane.

That man who calls himself one of the Four Archangels.

He had amazing magical power, huh?

Yeah, 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?

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 race.

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 Commandments over there!

I know that.

Didn't you betray the Demon race?

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 race 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'd like you to protect the forest and my sister.

Sure, no problem.

Everyone, look!

The Demon race suddenly stopped moving!

It can't be.

Who are you?

I'm Elizabeth of the Goddess race.

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.

Sis!

De... ri...

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, liste--

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!
