Chapter 2 - The Ten Commandments

3rd POV

The 10 commandments were finally free after more than 3000 years,

each member represents the elite of the demons

Melascula: Fraudrin. By any chance is that a Human body?

Fraudrin: That's right. Using this body has been quite easy

Gloxinia: Hey, how come only we escaped?

Fraudrin: I didn't have enough of the Apostle of the goddesses'blood to

break the seal. My apologies.

Derieri: That's the bottom line, there isn't much, is there?

(A/N: Best girl}

Monspiet: By that, you mean the presence of the Goddess, Giant and

Fairy races is barely enough to detect ?

Fraudin: During the war 3000 years ago, they lost most of their power.

Just like we did. Essentially it's the Human who rule Britannia.

Melascula: My goodness, the most short-lived, fragile, and hapless of the

five races ?

Galan: Hey! You were the only one who escaped being sealed, right?

What were you doing all that time?

Fraudrin: I had lot going on. I only regained self-awareness ten years

ago. Not only that, this pesky group called the Seven Deadly Sins got in

my way.

Zeldris: Meliodas, huh?

Derieri: Bottom line, i'm tired. I want to rest.

Zeldris: Yes, before we do anything else, our first priority should be to

get some rest. The effects of the goddesses'seal has deplected our

magical powers. I'm pretty sure Edinburgh Hill is to the east. Let's go.

(A/N: Those who read the manga know why Zeldris knows

Edinburgh ... )

Without hesitation the 10 commanders flew to their destination

Meanwhile

Away from Liones, Ban, King and Jericho were in the Fairy King forest.

After king got booed by his people and learned that ban was the new fairy king he left to think about it for a while, at the same time Ban had just seen Elaine's body with Jericho when suddenly Ban stood up

Jericho: What's the matter ?

Ban: There is someone in the forest.

Jericho: Maybe someone's lost in it.

Ban: No, the forest doesn't let just anyone in. Stay there.

Ban rushed into the forest leaving Jericho behind, he got there where he felt the presence and saw a young man sitting in the grass.

???: Oh? I didn't think there would be anyone besides the fairies

Ban: Who are you ?

???: A simple nomad, I had already visited the forest of the fairy king and when I saw that it was destroyed I was surprised that it reappeared elsewhere.

Ban: It's been ten years since the first forest was destroyed, yet you look young.

???: Appearances are sometimes deceptive, so who are you ?

Ban: Ban.

???: Well Ban, if the forest let you in it is that you must not be bad, sorry for appearing indiscreet but what are you doing in this place.

Ban: I could ask you the same.

???: It's true, I just wanted to rest here, this place reminds me of good memories. And you ?

Ban: I came to see someone important.

Ban had a serious look and the young man noticed it

???: You seem conflicted, they say it is easier to talk about vour problems to stranger than to those close to you, I am willing to listen.

Ban explained his story with Elaine, how he met her, loved her, saw her die and tried to bring her back to life. At the end of his explanation Ban clenched his fists until blood flowed

Ban: if only I had saved her, but now look at me, I even tried to kill my best friend to bring her back. I am really miserable.

Ban blamed himself for all his mistakes, but he felt the young man put

his hand on his shoulder.

???: I'm sorry for your loss, but don't hate you for things that are not

your fault, you know, you remind me a lot of me, I too lost something

that meant everything to me, and unfortunately I lost myself. But it's not

too late for you, you have people who care about you, don't you?

An image of the Seven Deadly Sins appeared in Ban's head

Ban: Yeah ...

???: So protect them, as they protect you. As long as you have them you

won't be alone and you won't lose yourself.

Ban stood up and smiled at the young man

Ban: Hey! it wasn't bullshit what you said, it feels good to have talked

about it. Thanks !

???: Glad to have helped.

Ban was about to leave but said one last thing

Ban: You're right, I still have them, Meliodas and the others ...

Ban stood up and smiled at the young man

Ban: Hey! it wasn't bullshit what you said, it feels good to have talked about it. Thanks!

???: Glad to have helped.

Ban was about to leave but said one last thing

Ban: You're right, I still have them, Meliodas and the others...

Ban left, but he didn't see the young man's reaction to hearing the name Meliodas.

???: Meliodas...

The young man began to tremble and the grass around him began to die

Timeskip

After Merlin felt great magical power in Camelot, Meliodas and the others were transported to Camelot and seen that the Kingdom was attacked by an giant monster

Merlin: I've detected multiple magic reactions inside it's body, but no vital signs. It must be a golem.

Meliodas: Yeah, that's a great beast Albion.

Diane: What is that ?

Meliodas: A weapon created by the demon race during the Ancient war. It must've been awakened when the Ten Commandments were revived.

Diane: The Ten what ?

Meliodas: I'll explain later.

Hawk: Are you kidding me... Meliodas power level is 3370. Even Merlin is 4710. But that monster... It's power level is 5500 !!!

Meliodas and his group fought the Albion with kamelot and Arthur, then Merlin returned his sacred treasure Lostvayne to Meliodas and he defeated the Albion with his full counter

Unfortunately it was not over, in the forest of the Fairy King, while Ban was talking to a fairy after feeding the forest with his blood, King and Jericho feel a powerful shake.

Jericho: What's happening !!!

King: Is the forest still growing, no ... That's something else!

At the far end of the Fairy King's forest another Albion approaching the forest dangerously.
