Meliodas and friends entered the Combat Festival held by Gloxinia and Drole.
Imperial Wrath of Great Wind
The team of Meliodas and Ban completely crushed their opponents.
On the other hand, King and Diane were the complete opposite.

She'll be fine now.
Thank you, Dogedo.
If it weren't for your quick thinking, we'd be a real mess right now.
I was considering letting you live this time...
even though I shouldn't.
I guess that's a side effect of being around humans for too long.
The right decision...
is to kill you now!
Boost!
Boost
Still, I'm amazed Lord Denzel and Deathpierce made it out okay.
There's no need to worry about those two.
Lord Denzel has a secret weapon too.
And you can rest easy about Dreyfus.
Lord Denzel hit him with his Dead Man's Revenge.
Right now the ghosts of those he's killed will be tormenting him.
I bet he can't even get any sleep.
What's the matter?
Do you feel hatred for me?
The likes of you could never hurt me.
Still, that Denzel is truly vexing.
When I tried cutting off the piece of flesh scarred by his sacred mark,
it just appeared somewhere else instead.
Sacred mark, my ass.
It's more like a curse.
So why aren't you appearing?
Why won't you appear, Zaratras?
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.

Episode 18
For Whom Doeth That Light Shine?
Its shape changed.
The one before was more like a bad imitation.
This one's the real deal.
Well, the impudent brat is at least able to draw out the true power of the Sacred Tree.
That was beyond amazing, Harlequin!
Why were you holding back until now?
What's wrong?
It's nothing! I'm fine.
You don't look fine, though...
It would seem that attack left the reigning Fairy King's body in a dreadful state.
Let me get rid of that pesky giant first, then.
True Spirit Spear Chastiefol,

Form Five: Increase!
That did it!
What?!
Just kidding.
How disappointing.
You, of all people, should know just how tough plants are.
It seems like your counterattack just now was your last ditch effort,
but it was all for nothing.
Harlequin!
It's fine.
It's all part of my plan.
What?
I can protect you there.
True Spirit Spear Chastiefol,
True Spirit Spear Chastiefol
Form One: Chastiefol!
Seriously? He still has that much magic left?
Well, if you scatter it into that many pieces,
then I'll just have to consider that as my loss.
Diane, are you all right?
Forget about me, you look like hell!
Why did you push yourself that far to protect me?
Diane...
I can't let you die after stirring up my feelings so much.
B-But why?
Well, you know,
a boy I just met today is all of a sudden putting his life on the line for me.
That doesn't happen everyday.
Harlequin, what are you to me?
And what am I to you?
I want you to answer those questions when this fight is over.
Fillet and Loin
Fillet and Loin!
Get him!
What?! Are my golems that much weaker?!
No!
Fillet and Loin are your imaginary friends you created when you lived all by yourself, right?
H-How did you know that?
Golems can only retain a sturdy body and real strength if their user is holding a definite image in their mind.
Concentrate on something you truly believe in!
Something I truly believe in...
I'll give it a go!
Friends
Friends!
Good work!
Not bad, huh?
Some details may be a bit off,
but I tried to imagine my closest friends!
I hate to admit it, but I guess the Captain really is someone special to Diane.
I-Is that me?
Diane, why am I in there?
What do you mean?
Isn't it obvious? You're one of my closest friends too.
I'm glad I survived to see this.
Mine looks really weak, but I'm really happy it's there.
Is it really something that brings you to tears?
Amazing, Elizabeth!
It annoys me to say it, but good work, Captain! Keep it up!
Give it your all, Matrona!
He's incredibly sturdy!
It's fine!
We still have the Harlequin golem!
No, wait, that's no good!
He doesn't look up to the task at all.
Look! He's amazing!
No way.
That was an amusing show.
D-Diane, I think your image of me is a bit off.
I-I'm not that strong.
Aren't you?
I think you're really strong!
The winner is the pair of King and Diane!
Hey, Gowther, are we really going to fight those two?
I'll win this tournament and obtain emotions.
And if you end up dying for that to happen, I might be able to mourn your deaths afterwards.
G-Gowther is saying some really scary things right now...
We got the weaklings!
Holy Knight Gustaf, Holy Knight Guila, and you, their subordinates...
I thank you for rushing to reinforce us at Zeldon.
Lord Denzel, are the Ten Commandments really such terrifying opponents?
If Hendrickson was a tornado, then the Ten Commandments are a cataclysm.
When His Majesty learned of the revival of the Ten Commandments,
he sent agents to all regions.
However, he lost contact with all of them.
Not quite. One of the agents I sent came back.
An agent?
Where is that agent, Sir Deathpierce?
Her name is Invisible.
She's a fairy who only I can see.{ http://nanatsu-no-taizai.wikia.com/wiki/Invisible }
A really shy one at that.
She's the only friend I've had since childhood.
What? You want to hear me sing as a reward?
All right, but not right now.
Visi, show me the images.
What?!
The Ten Commandments have attacked nine towns and villages in north Britannia
and have consumed the souls of most of their people.
They've been practically wiped out.
Impossible! How did they do it so quickly?!
This is really worrisome.
No! It can't be!
The capital of the kingdom of Camelot to the south has fallen.
A-A single member of the Ten Commandments has incapacitated their entire armed forces.
And now it's become a den of demons.
Camelot was the second greatest kingdom after Liones.
And they took it so quickly.
It's only a matter of time before they invade Liones.
I have more bad news.
There is one more member of the Ten Commandments.
And he's managed to sneak into the heart of Liones.
Who is that?
Holy Knight Guila,
you are to return to the capital of Liones with haste
and inform the king and all Holy Knights of the following:
"We are setting off on a mission to eliminate the Ten Commandments,
as well as Gowther, the Goat's Sin of Lust, of the Seven Deadly Sins."
I don't understand you at all.
You're going to kill your friends in order to obtain emotions?
That's contradictory!
Jericho, you were casting off your humanity in order to obtain power.
How is that any different?
Yes, you're right.
And because of that I hurt Ban and my Brother.
But thanks to that, I can speak from experience.
That you should never hurt your friends in order to reach your goals!
The one most hurt in the end would be you!
The indoorsy four-eyes has a power level of 3,100.
The fat-lips apprentice has... 280?!
Small fry!
Don't worry, Mr. Thin Mustache—
Hey!
Excuse me, I just came here to deliver ale for the Combat Festival.
I did not mean to enter the tournament!
Couldn't you please just consider it our loss by default?
They are our precious comrades.
We can't have comrades killing each other!
But that's what makes the entire thing fun.
What?
Humans will do all kinds of vile things in order to get what they desire.
That's the kind of unsightly clan you humans have always been, right?
C-Captain!
What should we do?
Captain?
It seems that Meliodas and the old man are old friends.
But I still can't tell what's he's thinking behind that poker face.
It's not just his face.
Even with my Magical Eye, I cannot read what's in his mind.
You're such a dummy, Thin Mustache.
Who'd go as far as killing at a festival?
W-Were you even listening to the rules?
What?
If we fight our comrades now, we'd just be giving them what they want.
{ovelap}What?! Seriously?!
{ovelap}Seriously?! No way!
Comrades?
Does fighting side-by-side,
traveling together,
or sharing meals count as being comrades?
Such a vague word that people define any way they want.
I don't know exactly, either.
But I think it means people feeling for one another,
and wanting to help each other in times of need.
It's a connection they feel between their hearts.
Miss Jericho...
Sounds nice.
Makes me want a heart filled with emotions even more.
You idiot!
Gowther, you bastard!
How could you do that to your combat partner?!
Super Pork-Loin Illusion!
M-Mr. Pig! Miss Jericho!
With that, the hindrances are all gone.
Magic: 5, Combat: 5, and Spirit: 5. Total power level: 15.
Normally, like with the Captain of Leftovers Disposal, I wouldn't need to use magic, but...
Jack!
Jack
Oh!
My body is moving on its own.
I shall show my respect for the Lion's Sin by defeating him with all my might.
S-Stop it, Gowther.
I don't want to fight...
Nightmare Teller
Nightmare Teller.
Escanor...
Wh-Who is calling my name?
Escanor, huh? I like it.
Escanor...
He'll be a gentle and strong boy.
F-Father...
M-Mother...
M-Me?
You've got some nerve!
Father and Mother are always so nice to you!
Why, you little...
Brother...
Stop!
Monster!
This can't be my child!
This is a horrible curse.
If you let him live, he'll bring nothing but disaster to the kingdom.
The prince has escaped!
Kill him on sight!
Make sure you find him!
Lord Escanor, please be well.
Rosa...
Mommy, I'm scared!
You're an interesting man, just like I've heard.
What would you say about assisting us?
Don't talk to me so unceremoniously.
Who do you think I—
Rosa?
I'm a mage that goes by the name Merlin.
This here is Meliodas.
He's the Captain of our band of knights.
Miss Merlin, a-aren't you afraid of me?
Why would I be?
Fear is an emotion evoked by ignorance.
Your mystery is truly fascinating.
Oh, are you in love with Merlin?
Wh-Why do you think that?
I think you're right, though.
Just looking at her makes my heart ache.
And hearing her voice makes my heart want to dance.
I wouldn't know. I don't have emotions, after all.
Gowther...
Are you in love with me?
M-Miss Merlin! How long have you been watching?
Unfortunately, I cannot walk beside one with the lifespan of a mayfly.
M-Miss Merlin?
Because your curse can never be lifted.
That huge curse will eventually eat away at your body until there's nothing left.
You're nothing but a subject for my experiments.
Living a lonely life without having anyone to love you is what befits you.
Your mind will never return from the darkness of despair.
I know that, Miss Merlin.
But I'm fine with that.
How?
You're not one I can walk beside.
You're the sun that shone upon my dark path in life.
Gowther, what you gave me was not despair, but hope.
Now, I'll pay you back for that.
For the deadly sin of toying with another's heart.
That was an unexpected result.
I never expected you'd react to an abstract pseudo-sun inside the world of your own mind.
Escanor!
It's suddenly getting hot out here.
What could...
P-Power level 28,800? {2 looks weird}
Who the heck is that guy?!
Just what was that transformation?
He's surpassed Galand in power level.
A fascinating turn of events.
Still, it's just a pseudo-transformation, so it's far from your original values.
You can probably only maintain that form for a short while.
It's more than enough.
What's going on?!
Give me back my glasses!
Gatling Jack
Gatling Jack!
Gatling Jack
This is crazy!
Stop it, Gowther!
Respond to my will,
Divine Axe Rhitta!
What's happening?
Sacred Treasure Release.
A sun in the night?
Is he really doing this?!
This magic is on the level of Estarossa!
Impossible.
What are you planning to do?
Escanor's unequaled power and the heat emanating from his body
burns away everything in his vicinity.
Divine Axe Rhitta's special ability is Charge and Fire.
It absorbs and stores all the vast heat he gives off,
and can then release it at will.
Let me go, Cap'n!
If he goes through with it, Gowther, the Master, and Jericho will all die!
Trust Escanor, Ban.
This is it!
The one shot that turns the match!
This is what you want from a festival!
Atone for the deadly sin of toying with another's heart with your body!
I accept your challenge.

Captain of Leftovers Disposal—my glasses.
Yes. Here they are.
Victory my ass! Are you kidding me?!
I simply state the facts.
He fell, and I'm still standing.
Gowther!
Don't you understand how Escanor feels?!
How he feels?
I'm pretty certain he was angry with me.
Can you really say the same thing after seeing that?!
That's the expression of how Escanor feels about you!
Atone for the deadly sin of toying with another's heart with your body!

If I close my eyes, I can still feel that warmth from when I first met you

It's sealed off somewhere deep inside my chest

But your unyielding courage

Is it true that Nightmare Teller can summon any kind of dream for its target?
Yeah.
For example, Mis Merlin as a child{lolicon}, or Miss Merlin with an apron, or—
Calm down.
It's just nightmares.
