Nanatsu no Taizai: Imashime no Fukkatsu

Elizabeth had been waiting for Meliodas to wake up ever since he was defeated by the Ten Commandments.

And then he appeared.

B-But...

You...

Great Holy Knight Zaratras!

Using Zaratras' technique, Elizabeth entered Meliodas' memories.

In those memories, she saw Meliodas making a promise to her younger self that he'll return alive.

Meanwhile, the capital of Liones was in dire straights from the Ten Commandments' assault.

How?

I am the Lion's Sin of Pride, Escanor.

It's hopeless! We don't stand a chance!

We have to fall back and regroup!

Your Piety Commandment is truly terrifying.

Anyone who turns their back to you is seen to show disloyalty to you as the representative of the Demon King,

and is forced into obedience.

We are now the servants of

the Demon King and Lord Zeldris.

I'm disappointed in you, Fraudrin.

Why was it taking you so long to topple a mere human kingdom?

Don't be so harsh on me.

Among these humans there are some unbelievably—

What is that preposterous aura?

It's coming from the castle.

How is he able to move?

He's the strongest of the Seven Deadly Sins.

This is a tale of ancient times, from when the worlds of humans and non-humans were not separated.

The 3,000 year old seal has been partially broken.

The elite guard of the Demon Clan, the Ten Commandments,

seek to drown Britannia in blood and terror.

Against them stand the deadly sinners of the legendary band of knights.

They are the Seven Deadly Sins.

I understand.

You must be the human who Melascula said defeated Galand.

You mustn't bear hatred towards me.

If you fall to your own Commandment, you'll ruin the fight I'm looking forward to.

You're a surprisingly nice guy.

Of course I am.

So even he's no match for the Commandments?

Aw, you almost got me.

What's the matter?

Is there a gold coin on the ground?

Estarossa is on his knees?!

From just a single blow that he blocked?!

Impossible!

Geez, you had me worried for a moment there.

It's so nice to be out of that prison!

This is what I've been waiting for.

Finally, someone who I can go full out against.

So presumptuous.

Wh-What happened?!

Could he be using Meliodas'...

No, something's different.

That was pure strength with no magic involved.

Which means that was...

Did I surprise you a bit?

This is my magic ability, Full Counter.

I can reflect back any physical attack against me at more than double its power.

I see. That explains why I felt some pain.

Just as I'd expect from my own attack.

Your level of hubris is truly amusing.

I'll give you the honor of remembering you before I kill you.

What is your name?

Escanor.

Make sure you remember it before you die.

What's going to happen in that battle?

Either way, it doesn't look like it'll end without major damage.

Now then, in respect for you unleashing your full power, it would only be proper for me to respond in kind.

But know that your death shall not be pretty.

Man, you really don't care about collateral damage.

If you use that ability, those behind you will suffer more than just heavy burns.

That heat is incredible!

If it means avenging Meliodas, I'm willing to let my body burn!

Ban, Lake Penace was straight ahead from the south gate, right?

Yeah. What about it?!

We're all going to burn to death at this rate!

Good.

I told you already.

Your death won't be pretty.

Cruel Sun!

Pride Flare.

He's a monster!

He vaporized the lake in an instant!

That was a rather decent attack.

I really felt it.

If I'd deployed my darkness a moment too late, I would've taken some serious damage.

Now then,

shall we end this?

Now there's something we can both agree on.

Blackout!

You're finished!

What do you think that'll achieve?

Full Counter!

My darkness swallowed your sun.

In other words, my magic has an advantage over yours.

Additionally, I can return any physical attack back at you.

You understand what that means, don't you?

I enjoyed fighting you, Escanor.

It's almost noon.

How is the battle going?

You say my attacks are ineffective?

Who decided that?

You swallowed my sun?

Who decided that?

I didn't see his attack.

What in the world is he?

His power level has gone up even further.

Cruel Sun.

I'm the one who decides those things.

Shit!

Brother!

Begone.

Escanor!

Brother!

Well, it looks like I can return to Liones now.

Or so I would like to say,

but it seems I released more power than I usually do.

Rhitta may not suffice to suppress it.

I must remain outside for a while longer.

The magic of Estarossa and Zeldris disappeared beyond the horizon in an instant.

Our suits of armor were ruined by the heat.

Take them off and retreat to the castle!

Do you want us to run away, Howzer?!

Are you stupid?!

We can't fight thanks to the effects of that Commandment!

But we can still protect the king and princesses by standing between them and danger!

Am I wrong, Gilthunder?!

Howzer's right.

We'll guide the city folk and the Holy Knights.

We're leaving the protection of His Majesty to you.

Oh, great!

The Holy Knights in the city led the people here!

Gilfrost, erect a magic barrier around the castle once everyone's inside.

You can count on me, Gil!

Everyone hurry up inside!

Something's not right with these people!

What are you doing?!

We loyal servants shall bring down the hammer of justice upon those who rebel against the Demon King!

Die, Sir Gilthunder!

They're under the influence of magic!

No, actually it feels a bit different than magic.

It's Zeldris' Commandment.

We won't think worse of you, so just surrender.

Honestly, what do you suppose their chances of winning are right now, Derieri?

Omitting the details, they're zero.

We can win.

The two of you shall be slain here.

Come on, Denzel, bluffs don't work on those guys.

Ban of the Fox's Sin,

I entrust you with the protection of the king and the princesses.

Lord Denzel, do you really intend to do it?!

Now isn't the time!

On the contrary.

This old man will be happy to lay down his life

for the future of the young people of this kingdom.

Is Lord Denzel going to be all right?

It sounded like you said we'd be slain.

Well heard.

By whom? How?

An old man with the power level of a slightly-above-average Red Demon?

I won't be the one to slay you.

Inside the sword?

Something's coming!

Manifest!

Lord Denzel is paying with his life to manifest her inside his body.

A goddess!

Did you see that, Howzer?

Yeah! A woman with wings got sucked right into Lord Denzel's body!

You're a goddess, right?

I am Divine Lance Corporal Nerobasta of the Goddess Clan.

If possible, I would have liked a slightly younger body.

State your business.

Surely you must have a positively dire reason to revive me.

Well, that's a surprising appearance.

I'll kill her.

You!

Derieri the Purity of the Ten Commandments!

How?!

You're supposed to be sealed inside the Coffin of Eternal Darkness by our Clan!

The power of the demons is far too great!

Please lend us your support!

So are you saying you humans gave me a vessel in order to fight the Ten Commandment for you?

Yes, Lady Nerobasta!

The one whose vessel you inhabit sacrificed his life to defeat the Demon Clan!

I refuse.

Seriously? She ran away?

Out of my way!

Ark!

Be ruined by the light of God!

The power that's opposite to our darkness.

The innate magic of the Goddess Clan that can disintegrate objects using particles of light.

Amazing!

Ark!

Derieri!
