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 and
the demon races.
... 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.
THE KING OF LIONES
Oh wow, so this is Liones.
- Whoa-ho! This place is totally massive. - It certainly is incredible.
Hey, you guys! Do you think that's an actual Holy Knight over there?
- Oh could be... - How much more obvious could you be?
Excuse me?! At least I'm better than him!
So many big houses! There's one, two, three, four...
Get it together!
C'mon, Perc! Snap out of it!
Sir Lancelot!
I've got a party here to meet the king. Let us through.
Right! Well, I should tell you His Majesty just departed to hang out
with--Gah!
Yes sir, His Majesty has departed to patrol the surrounding areas!
Wait did he just say "hang out"?
Why does he always do this? Whatever.
We've got time to-- Huh?
Hey, where'd Percy go?
Oh wow! There are so many different kinds of buildings here!
Kingdoms really are super huge! Wow!
I'm so sorry!
Did I hurt you?!
Oh no, I've had a bad back for a while now.
- Don't worry 'bout it. You can go. - Yeah, but...
Were you carrying all those boxes?
Yeah, I was...
- Thank you so very much. - Take care now, alright.
- Dreyfus! What happened to you? - You know... just my back giving me hell.
Let me examine it okay?
Well, the pain has already subsided quite a bit, you see.
Seep!
Hm?
- So what do you think it is? - Uh... Perhaps it's a new type of poultice?
Seep!
Hmm, um...
I think he said to go straight then take a right turn when I get to the fountain...
And then at the end of the street, go to the place with a pointed roof called the
Boar-whatchamacallit.
My, my, whadda we have here?
- Uh um, am I still going the right way? - Hey, you there, boy!
That stuff you're carryin' is supplies from the Hendrickson Free Clinic, isn't
- it? - Huh?
So, that's how you ended up carrying those supplies for him? Well that's impressive.
Are you, by any chance, from the Boar-whatchamacallit?
Yup! Someone didn't show up on time, so I've come to check on the...
Hey, uh... that thing you've got on your back...
Oh, this? Apparently, it's a fragment of something called the Coffin of Eternal
Ooh, I see. That means you must be...
Darkness.
Huh?
Nah! I was just talking to myself.
Well, well, well, here we are. This here's my shop, the Boar Hat.
Cool, huh? The place got its name when this shop was perched right on top of a
- giant pig's head. - A pig big enough for this
building to sit on top of-huh.
- Wait a sec, you said this shop is yours?! - Yup, I'm the barkeep.
But you're just a kid like me, aren't you...?
You can set those down anywhere.
Here we go.
So this is what the inside looks like.
- Hey, you. Are you feelin' hungry? - Oh. Come to think of it, I haven't
had anything to eat since this morning.
All right. As thanks for carrying the stuff, I'll treat you to a free meal.
Wahoo!
This here is the Boar Hat's special pudding!
Wow! I- I can't believe it! This is the first time I've ever had pudding before!
- Don't hold back. Dig in, dig in! - Here I go!
It's sweet! Spicy! Sour! Stinky!
Is it poison?
What's this? I see a starry sky.
Oh, it's Grandpa! There are Donny and the others, too.
Waa! Wahooo!
For real though, where the heck did he go?
In a city as large as this, finding him is going to be quite a challenge.
He's always causing so much trouble for us.
I'll go search for him somewhere else. If you find Percy, wait for me at the castle.
You better search for him.
Yo!
I see you're up, Percival.
Umm...
For some reason I'm a little queasy, and my stomach feels weird...
Hang on, how do you know my name?! Huh?
The scratch on this helmet and the Ouroboros brooch... To think that the
grandson of Varghese is one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
Wait you know who my grandpa is? And you even know about the Four Knights of the
Apocalypse?! Now tell me who you really are!
Now, calm down a bit.
My name is Meliodas.
I'm the barkeep of this bar and the king of Liones.
You're the king of Liones?
- Didn't expect that, huh? - Pfft!
No way! I don't believe you! A little kid like you is a king? That's gotta be a lie!
- Seriously, how old are you? - Ha ha ha! Who cares about that?
More importantly...
I'm so glad that you're here, Percival. Allow me to welcome you to our kingdom.
So, you... really are the king?
Yeah, sure am.
Then, are you also the one who wanted me here?
Hey, what's up?
Well, first of all, why did you summon me here? And what exactly are the Four
Knights of the Apocalypse?
Are the stories of me destroying the whole world... gonna come true?
And King Arthur of Cammymott... what is he like?
Also... why is it that my grandpa had to die?
I see, so Varghese...
I'll tell you everything you wanna know, once we've got all the players gathered
together. You wanna go on a little stroll with me?
With Your Majesty?
Meliodas will do.
Look here. This is a free clinic with a reputation for curing any illness
- instantly. - Oh! It's the old man with the backache!
Yo!
- Your Majesty! And the boy from earlier! - I see! So, it's you!
Introducing: Dreyfus and Hendrickson.
- Also known as former Great Holy Knights. - Huh?! Then, are they strong, too?
Young man!
I must know where did you get the squishy poultice you applied to this man's back? I
was hoping to study its composition but then it just disappeared suddenly.
My guess is that--
Let's go!
Oh! Please, wait!
Right here's the finest blacksmith in all of Liones. And the current Great Holy
- Knight's family home. - Do you mean Mister
Howzer?! Oh, you know about him?
Yo!
Yes, fresh off the farm. I'll be right with you.
Hello, Your Majesty!
Good day to you, Sir.
- Hey there! - Whoa...
- Great harvest this year. - Nice! They're growing well, I see!
- There are lots of things here. - Sure are.
Here in Liones, peddlers come from the lands of the Northern Barbarians and
Benwick in the South. -Oh wow... -Oh, I know! Since we're already here...
This shop is a competitor of mine, so I don't really like to admit it, but... Here!
- Their fish pie is to die for... - Yuuum! Mm. It's good!
Hm, uh what's that?
Yo!
Hmm? Oh! Well, if it isn't Your Majesty!
Whoa!
Pardon me as we pass by!
The view up here is awesome!
It's the king!
Good day, Your Majesty!
Hey there! Yo!!
Your Highness.
Would you like some red berries we just got in from Benwick?
- Oh. Yeah, why not? - They pair extremely
well with the fish pie.
Wow...
- Thank you! - Thanks for the ride! See yaaa!
In Liones, humans coexist with Giants and fairies, huh?
Since the Holy War 16 years ago, we started interacting.
There are only a few of them living here now, but it seems everyone's getting along
- quite well. - Is anyone here from the demon race?
You sure are an unusual fella, ya know that? Living with the demon race would
require some peculiar preferences.
Well, I don't have a problem with them. 'Cause when we went to Dalflare, I met a
whole village of demons, and they were all really kind.
Is that so? You went to that village...
Pone yelevo papalapos.
Radral enseola nocce.
Can you guess what I just said?
Zerios radaral enseola clacce.
Huh?! Whaaaat?!
How come you can speak the language of the demon race?
I'm the one who should be asking you that question.
Whoa...
- Pretty sweet view, huh? - You can even see small towns and
villages beyond Liones from way up here.
Ya see the small castle at the top of the hill in the distance? It's a small country
called Darkmunt.
- That's a good place to live as well. - Ya know what, going on this walk
with you made me realize something.
In Liones, and all the towns and villages surrounding it the people seem to
be leading happy lives.
But that will soon fade away.
The country, people, the land, and everything else.
Please, help us, Percival.
You mean... I can help this country and its people?
That's right.
The Four Knights of the Apocalypse, including you, are children who were
chosen to be the saviors of this world.
Uh, well I don't actually have that kind of power.
I mean, I would hardly have even made it here if everyone hadn't helped me so much.
Besides, according to what Lancelot said...
The prophecy can't be changed... and we're all destined to destroy the world
with four calamities.
Oh, good grief, he didn't tell you the most important part of the whole story.
I'll give you a proper explanation of that, when the Four Knights of the
- Apocalypse are finally gathered. - Your Majesty!
We've received word that His Highness, the prince, has returned from his journey!
So did he find the knight from the prophecy?
Indeed! That certainly appears to be the outcome, Sir. However, there's a bit of a
tricky issue...
Ah, I see... Well, that sure is unexpected.
However, the prophecy can't be mistaken, so... ...what to do...
There's sparkles in the sky! What in the world is it?
Hmm. Sorry to cut this short, Percival. Looks like I need to return to the castle
for a- Hm?
I wonder what it is... It sure doesn't look like fireworks. Stars? No, not stars,
either.
I mean you can't see stars so clearly in the middle of the day.
Hey, you there, little boy. If you're going to run, you should watch where
- you're going. - Whoa! Huh?
I have vowed to offer my chastity only to that man and have diligently protected it
all this time. How dare you... How dare you steal that away from me!
- Undress, boy! - Whoa, hold on, why though?
You're dead!
Hey, Chion. Do you know happened to the others?
Seems like they're responding to something in another direction.
- Any clue what it might be? - Well I'm working on it...
This is the first time this has occurred, so I... Huh?
Hey! Stop running! You deserve a proper beat down!
No, no! Please, don't kill me!
It's Isolde? What is she doing?
Yeah we should probably stop her.
Enough, Isolde! Just let the little kid go!
- We should lend her assistance. - Huh?!
The fragment of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness that was taken from us is being
carried on the back of that little boy. There's no doubt about it. He's one of
King Arthur's Knights of Chaos.
But he looks like a normal kid.
We're left with only one option.
Oh hey guys!
I am Jade, a Holy Knight of Liones. Are you a friend or a foe?
And I am Holy Knight Chion.
We'll strike you down right here, you foul servant of King Arthur!
Huh?!
This is utterly and completely shameful!
Then that means I was humiliated and violated by an enemy!
No you've got it all wrong!
If you have an excuse, let's hear it.
I swear I'm not an enemy! I came to Liones because the king summo--
- Nothing's coming out! - Wait, what was he about to say?
It would appear that he thought better of making excuses. Quite honorable for an
enemy.
I shall be the one to end him.
Hold on now. Don't you guys think we should capture him and bring him in?
We should put an end to him. With the power of our combined magic, it'll be
child's play.
But I'm a friend, I swear it! Just look at this! I took this away from a real bad
Well he's determined to fight. An enemy for sure.
Guy!
Yes, but we can't use magic in the middle of the streets like this.
Our foe's power is unknown to us.
Underestimating him could lead to widespread damage across the kingdom. We
should bear in mind any and all worst-case scenarios.
I admit that Chion does have a point.
I have no choice but to fight.
I'm gonna crush you!
Now, I can't breathe...
Huh. Did you think simply running away would help you?
You will not flee; you perverted Holy Knight of Camelot.
What's going on here?
Some Holy Knights are brawling in the street!
Well there it is.' I knew we'd stir up a commotion.
Shelter! Take shelter!
Forget them, Jade. We just have to deal with him before the other Holy Knights
show up.
This brat is tougher than I expected. Silf stripped him completely of his voice and
the air in his lungs. But he's still managing to remain conscious.
Say your goodbyes. I'm going to smash that worm between your legs into tiny pieces!
What is this?!
Did Silf get scared of his magic?
Whoa, did the air just get thicker? Oh hey, I can say my words again! -Inhale!
And exhale! -That's impossible. Did you actually absorb my magic just now?
- Five, four, three... - What the...! You stay
- the hell away from me! - Two... One!
Isolde!
Sir Tristan... forgive me...
That's enough of this already! What did I even do to you guys, anyway?
My name's Percival!
I came to Liones because I was summoned by the ki-- Huh?!
Wha-? How come everything's dark all of a sudden!
How dare you humiliate Isolde with defeat. And now your life is in my hands.
- Can't do much in the dark, can you? - Yeah, but the same
thing goes for you, too!
Shall we test it out, then?
I hear footsteps... Where are they coming from?!
Now, Jade, let's deal with him quickly. We wouldn't want to let Isolde's sacrifice
- go to waste. - I'm not dead yet!
Whoa! Stay away, stay away!
Hey who's over there?!
Of course, we follow the noise and this is what we find. What on earth is going on
- Percival! Is everything all right? - I swear you always manage to find
here?
- A way to get yourself into trouble! - Donny? Nasiens! Anne!
Are you three friends with this perv? Your presence here changes nothing.
Crossing paths with the Tristan Platoon is a grave mistake. You shall regret it for
- Tristan Platoon? Never heard of it. - That's right! What'd you do??
All eternity!
All right, Silf, I'll give you another chance to redeem your reputation. Tifos.
My voice!
I can't breathe.
You guys, what happened?
Anne?!
Nasiens? Donny!
Have you learned your lesson, vanguard of evil? Even with the help of
your companions, you don't stand a chance against the likes of us!
Finally, it's your turn. What's the matter are you so scared that you can't
speak?
Tzarula undu.
Stop, you guys! That's enough!
Sir Tristan!
