Britannia. Once before in this realm, the Holy Knights of Liones Kingdom staged a
coup d'état, ...sparking what eventually became a Holy War between the goddess clan
and the demon clan.
... But thanks to the emergence of the legendary heroes known as the Seven Deadly
Sins... the catastrophic war was brought to an end. This story... takes place 16 years
after those events.
Hey, Sin.
We should hurry. Our pursuers are undoubtedly closing in on us!
Yeah but, Sin.
You heard what Gowther said, didn't you? We do have more than one enemy, and
they'll kill even their own allies without pity.
Sin! Wait a sec! What the hell's the hold up?!
- Looks like the others aren't coming. - Huh?
- That should do it. - What did you do that for?! That was
This was actually a gift from King Arthur, you know Getting rid of this
supposed to help me remember Mr. Ardd!
- Staff's our only option. - I don't care about that! It was special!
Anne, please, it wasn't safe. My grandfather was turned into a monster by
one of those.
I gotta say, even though that man was our enemy for a moment there, in the end
he was just a little too soft. Which is probably why he died.
- Hey I dare you to say that one more time! - Come on, let's go.
- Who do you think you are, anyway?! - Just think of it as a friendly warning.
As a friend?! Do you have any idea how the human heart works?! Of course not!
What would a beast like you know about human feelings?!
Are you done with this tragic heroine act you're putting on?
Sin! That's going too far!
Tell us the truth, are you actually here to be our ally?!
What? Every time things get really tough, you're never anywhere to be found!
And on top of that you're always bossing us around even though you're completely
useless! You have absolutely no right to pretend you're our friend! The only ones
having a tough go of it here are the four of us!
My bad...
- Hey, little butterfly. Hey, butterfly... - Hey Anne, you
- shouldn't put the blame on Sin. - But why? Oh, fine, whatever.
Get a move on! Put some pep in your step and follow the leader!
Anne seems to be in better spirits.
- Nu uh, she's just pretendin' to be. - Rather than moping and crying your eyes
out, I've come to learn that anger can be a great motivator.
Ah, is that why you intentionally provoked her?
It would appear that Sin was a cut above her this time.
Come on, come on! Stop dragging your feet!
Hey, uh, Percival.
Hmm?
If I'm as useless as she says, does that mean I'm not a good friend?
Just having you around is enough to make me happy, Sin!
Hey, Percival! Come check this out!
What is it?
C'mon, Sin, let's hurry!
Oh- uh, sure...
What's going on?
They're growing as if they don't care which way is up.
The Entangled Forest from the story!
Grandpa once told me about a forest that, once you stray into it, you can
- never find your way out again. - We can definitely use this.
We'll lure our pursuers in there and trap them.
Okay, we'll lure our pursuers in there and trap them!
Isn't that what Sin just said?
It seems one of the Dark Talismans has suffered a tragic defeat.
Yes, I'm already aware. Who killed him?
One of the Seven Deadly Sins, Gowther.
Ah, is that so? He didn't have a chance, then.
However still I expect those chosen as a Talisman to fulfill their role as a
Talisman.
The remaining four are closing in on Percival's group and are about to engage
in combat with them.
I will gladly go check on their progress if you wish, my Lord.
More importantly, Pellegarde, are you not going to put your efforts toward the
search for my bride to be?
Surely someone as meticulous and methodical as Ironside would be better
suited for a tedious task such as finding your better half.
Well, have it your way then. You're released from updating me on every little
thing. Unless the news is good...
Understood!
Wait for me, Percival!
I'm coming to see just how much stronger you've grown! It's going to be delicious!
The response of their magic's been divided into four.
They're more than likely trying to weaken us by scattering our forces.
They're kids, even one of us taking on all four would be a piece of cake.
It's fine with me. Let's indulge them.
In ten minutes, each of us will come back here with one of their heads. Spread out!
Here, here.
Here, here, here.
- I wonder if they'll actually fall for it. - Here, here, here...
Don't worry. The only magic they can sense in the forest right now is the magic
from the mini Percys.
As long as we're inside this ring, they won't be able to detect our magic.
- Huh... - Where did you learn
magic like this anyway?
Let's just say the Fairy King taught me a thing or two.
Huh? Do you mean like The Fairy King?
Whatcha doing there, Nasiens?
An experiment. While I can, I'm testing the effects of the horn of Cernunnos that
I got from the village.
- Whoa, hey! Now what's happening?! - Don't tell me it was poison!
You spit that out right now!
No, I bit my lip out of excitement for all the unexpected effects it may have...
- Oh. Just the usual, then. - What do you mean, the usual?!
Hey, Sin. Don't'cha think we should just stay hidden here for--?
Shh. Quiet.
Here they come.
- Here, here, here... - Well well, what's the
meaning of this, huh?
Dammit! They led us on a wild goose chase!
Whoopsie... Or straight to a jackpot.
Which one of you goes by the name Percival?
Oh, that'd be me!
- So, which one of you is it? - Me! Me! Me! Hey, come
- on! I'm right here guys! - Why the heck did he have
to go and land behind us?
Oh, never mind. I'm gonna kill you all anyway.
Nasiens! Anne!
From this height, they probably died instantly. That's two brats down...
x2 So, what are you gonna do?
- Wa-wa-wait a sec- 'let's talk about this... - I'll give you ten
seconds. Try getting away.
Oh you think I'd run from you?!
Nicely done, Donny!
How dare you attack us like that!
- Go, now! - Yeah!
Quartet Attack!
- Slash Squall! - Slash Squall!
Looks like this is going to be quite entertaining!
I was sure we landed a direct hit, though!
It didn't work at all!
He must've dodged by just a hair.
Your moves are way too predictable, did you know? This must be a joke. How can an
amateur like you be the knight from the prophecy?
Although, the girl sure knows how to handle a sword. And the kid with the hat
may lack power, but his instincts are sharp. Also...
...your group's coordination was impressive.
What?! Nothing about me?! Your strategy is to divide us with decoys and pick us
off one by one, isn't that right?
You probably led me onto a narrow foothold, fearing the chance of a melee,
but...
Look out!!
You dug your own grave.
Epicurean's Slaver!
Alright everybody! It's time! Envelop everyone's weapons with magic!
We're on it!
What's this?
Incoming!
- What incredible power! Our foothold is...! - No, it's not only the
result of the sword strike!
Hooold ooooon!!!
- You bastard! - As I thought, that magic of
yours is levitation, isn't it? Huh?
Good luck holding on! You don't want to kill your friends now, do you?
That's enough!
As I said, your moves are too predictable. Take that.
Get it together, Percy! Just use your damn magic and make everyone fly!
No, no, no, that won't do. Here.
How can those weak attacks do such damage?
Most likely, it's due to him using "shifter" magic.
Bingo, boyo! With my magic, Wither, I have the ability to reduce the hardness
and strength of anything I touch.
- Tch. So, it doesn't just work on metal... - Would you like a taste as well?
Come here, and let me mess up that pretty face of yours!
No! Nasiens!
I'm glad I could test it in actual combat.
My venom mixing... with the horn of Cernunnos.
It has the effect of significantly enhancing the physical strength and
hardness of whoever who consumes it. The horn of a mythical beast is potent indeed.
This experiment proves it can nullify your level of magic with ease.
How dare you mock...
Is that supposed to blind me? Die!
- But how? - I've given you a taste of your own magic.
The thing about Nasiens is... once he ingests poison into his system he can turn
it into his own... and beat you!
Why you... little-
Well, we managed to beat that one. But this doesn't bode well for us.
- Whoa! Woohoo! We're zoomin'! - At this rate, we're going
- to shake off our pursuers! - Speak up, Percy!
- Huh? - Explain why you did that earlier.
Helping your friends was a natural thing to do, but why did you help your enemy?
Because... killing is never the way to go.
Yeah well, those bastards won't give it a second thought when they try to kill you
guys! -Or do you have it in your head that if you show them mercy they're gonna have
a change of heart and just leave us all alone? -That's not it!
But I don't want to kill anyone, no matter who they are!
You're so naive, Percival.
Percival, it's not safe carrying everyone so far at this speed! It's draining too
much magic out of you! So please, be careful!
Oh uh I'm okay...
And besides, Nasiens, you're the one who ingested poison that could've been
extremely dangerous when I'm supposed to be your guinea pig.
Oh- uh, about that... You know I never really meant that seriously, right...
Percy, your pace is beginning to slow down. And you need to conserve what little
magic you have left, so let's take a quick break here.
Yeah but if I do that...
There's two magic sources! They're behind us!
Huh?!
Is that horse runnin' on air?!
It's a creature from purgatory, similar to Cernunnos. Arthur apparently has a bad
habit of giving his pawns magic items and creatures from purgatory.
- You seem to know them quite well. - So that's the knight from the
prophecy and his friends, huh?
They'll never escape from Sleipnir, a gift bestowed by the king.
The Staff of the Four Elements, I command thee.
Create, Wind Sickle!
Percival! Let's start our descent! Your magic won't hold out much longer!
Create, Sand Wall!
- Boing - That was too close!
Percival?!
Boing, boing, boing, boing...
Booiiing...
Pop! Wheee!
- Hey, you okay? - Just hang in there, buddy!
He can't keep fighting in this condition, so... -...we're going to have to come up with
a solution on our own! -But the rest of us are already worn out!
Yes,' it appears to be the side effect of the horn of Cernunnos.
I dragged you into this mess. It's on me.
I have to... keep fighting.
Percival...
You and your friends are done for, Knight of the prophecy! I will take each one of
- your heads! - I'm the one you're
- really after, aren't I? - Fight me! Don't harm the others!
Wait, what...
Oh, my. What an admirable little boy you are.
You're an honorable young man. That's something I don't dislike.
But I can't do that. Your friends' heads will be mine.
Stop feeling like you're dragging us into this. Every single one of us has already
made the choice to come along with you on this journey.
But Anne... If you're truly knights, isn't it a courtesy to introduce
yourselves first?
- Courtesy? What nonsense are you spouting? - The Dark Talismans...
Burgie the "Bewitching" and Doronach the "Invincible." You must be careful. They're
not going to underestimate you guys like Elgin did.
How did he know our names? -There are only a select few in Camelot who are supposed
to have information about the assassination corps. -I suppose you'll be
worthy opponents for us, then!
All righty! Here comes, the-one-and-only' future Holy Knight,
Anghalhad!
- C'mon, Donny, you're up, too! - Huh?! Fine, fine.
No matter who my opponent is, I kill.
Girls who are pushy like her end up being disliked.
Hey, I'd rather take on the smaller one if that's cool with you...
- Who are you calling "pushy"?! - H-hey!
Come at me, little girl! I'll etch the sight of you wailing and screaming into my
memory as I slowly drag the life out of you!
Uh wait, then that means- I gotta fight this guy?!
If that hits me, I'll be finished in a heartbeat!
Your beloved axe ain't getting near me now, big guy!
That's Impact it's my own magic.
Donny! The radius of his Impact is twice as wide as yours, at least from what I can
- tell! - Then, I don't stand a
- freakin' chance in hell! - Strange little fox, who is it?
Alright, now what will you do?
Create, Aqua Pillar!
Create, Flame Sword!
Create, Wind Sickle!
- It's one blast after the other! - You're a pesky little girl, huh?
Anne! Her attacks stem from that magic item she's holding! If you target her
staff you can neutralize her!
- What on earth is that fox? - Target her staff? Doing that
is easier said than done y'know...
Create, Aqua Pillar!
How am I even supposed to get close to her like this?
Donny! You need to make him take another ride in the air!
Useless!
EH?!
No, my staff!
- She won't be able to use her staff now. - Was I just a diversion?!
Now, it's my turn to make a move.
Tch! Don't get too ahead of yourself. Do you really think taking my staff is enough
to help you win? Mirage. Bask in the glory of my magic.
- Can you figure out which one is real? - She uses "deceiver" magic!
Come!
H-How?
Too bad for you. I have the ability to distinguish what's real and fake.
Woah you did it, Anne!
The way he runs away is almost impressive.
Stay and fight! Die like a man!
I don't wanna die!
If you agree to fight me head-on with a weapon, fair and square, I won't use magic
against you, either!
Hey, hulking beast. Don't forget what you said just now.
If that's how you want it, I'll fight you fair and square ya ready?
- Donny?! - Hey, why are you letting
his taunts work on you?!
You can't defeat that guy with a knife he's got an axe!
No way.
That's amazing, Donny! How come you didn't dish out attacks like that
- earlier?! - Because I know, it causes
- bleeding and seems painful! - I can't!
Aww you're such a sweety.
What a moron.
Quit being such a softie! You can't afford to hold back right now!
Yeah, I know! That's why I'm fighting back, even though I'd rather not!
- Just surrender already! - Is that all you got, kid?!
- Seriously? How is this even possible?! - Doronach the Invincible,
can't be beaten with a knife!
You're the one who will die!
Impact!
I figured I never stood a chance against him with my pathetic magic.
Who the hell said it was pathetic?
Magic comes from your imagination.
To draw a comparison, it's like clay.
You can mold it into a ball or cube, break it into pieces, or even build a
castle. Donny, what does your magic do?
All it does is makes things float up, right?
Your imagination is being limited by your insecurity.
Think of that hulk as nothing more than a pebble and grab him.
I ain't ever seen a pebble that massive, but okay...
I gotta think of it like grabbin' a pebble...'
Do you seriously believe that lifting that pebble is the most that your magic
- can do? - You can't beat me, no matter what you do!
Well, actually... I can beat you!
And now I'll hurl you!
So... this is what my magic does?
Your magic has never been levitation. It's the ability to move objects freely.
Telekinesis!
