Chapter 1: Prologue
This is a tale between humans and beings from another world. It is a story from ancient times. The Holy Knights who protected this country. Used immensely powerful magic. They were both feared and revered. However, there was a group who betrayed their country and turned their blades against the remaining Knights. To the masses, they were known as the "Seven Deadly Sins". Branded as traitors, the sins were forced to disband. For some people, they were known as true heroes for the kingdom. For others, they are bastards who dared to turn against their beloved kingdom.
King Bartra Liones was having visions about an upcoming Holy War, and thus, he resorted to pacifistic means. Fewer battles, fewer weapons, less blood, is what the king wishes. Less payment, less resolve, less reason to train and fight, is what the Holy Knights of Liones are seeing. Not wanting this any longer, the knights were preparing a coup d'état to overthrow the King. It was going to take place in midnight, and for some reason, the Holy Knights were not only after the King but also after Princess Elizabeth Liones.
King Bartra was a very tall old man that had long white hair and beard. He wore the typical king's clothes. Elizabeth had a slender yet curvaceous figure and regular height. She had long silver hair that reached all the way to her waist and one of her bangs covered her right eye. She also had blue eyes. She was currently wearing a yellow princess dress that matched her royalty. The two were currently taking shelter on the throne room, and the Holy Knights could come barging in at any second.
"Father, what do we do?" said Elizabeth with a worried expression on her face "The Holy Knights can come at any second, we have to run!"
"If we run now, the Holy Knights will catch us easily, Elizabeth." Bartra said while thinking carefully about the situation. It looked like they were both running out of options until suddenly.
*THUMP*
A loud thump was heard on the door, startling the two royalty.
"They're here already?!" Bartra widened his eyes in shock "That's impossible, I thought they were still climbing to the castle"
"No way…" Elizabeth put her hands in her mouth as she was losing the last hope to escape. And with that, the door finally opened. What was there surprised the two.
It wasn't a group of Holy Knights that came to arrest them. In fact, it was just one. This Holy Knight had black armor with golden lines on his arms and legs, while having the Liones crest on his chest plate. He also had a stone sword, which was a weird thing to have as a Holy Knight. He wore no helmet, which showed the factors of the man's face. He was a young man with short blue hair. There was something in that man's face that caught the attention of both. He had red eyes that made them uneasy. Even so, Elizabeth recognized the man immediately.
"Elliot? Is that you?" Elizabeth said with a faint smile on her face. She could smile more, but she was unknown of what Elliot's intentions are. Is it to capture them?
"Hello Elizabeth, no, of course, it's not me" Elliot said with a clear sarcasm.
'Diamond Rank Holy Knight Elliot…' thought Bartra with a curious expression on his face as he was analyzing the man 'What's he doing here? Is he going to-'
"So… to clear any of your doubts. No, I'm not here to capture you, nor kill you in any aspect." Bartra's thoughts were interrupted by the blue-haired sudden declaration. "Oh, I'm sorry my king, I should address you with more respect. My apologies" Elliot apologized as he bowed before the King.
"It's okay Elliot" Bartra assured, but then grew more curious "Then what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to break you out of course." Elliot responded causing Bartra to widen his eyes in surprise.
"W-what, you're willing to go against the Kingdom for our safety?" Elizabeth stuttered with surprise on her face.
"Of course. Because I know what's going on with the Kingdom, and I also know that something is up with Chief Holy Knights." Elliot said with a serious expression on his face.
"That means you don't know what's up with them…" Bartra sweatdropped causing Elliot to rub the back of his head sheepishly. "But I commend you to at least have the idea. As for your proposal. Sorry, but I will stay here."
Elizabeth and Elliot's eyes widened in concern at the King's offer. Was the King surrendering or something?
"My King?"
"Dad?"
"If I go out now, then I will be spotted immediately. The Holy Knights have a bigger concern in me that they have on you, Elizabeth" He turned to see Elizabeth that was on the verge of tears.
"But, I don't want to leave you…" Elizabeth said. She then remembered something important, she then turned to Elliot who had a confused frown "Are we really putting this huge burden on Elliot? Betraying the Kingdom, and making him a criminal seems a little bit excessive…"
Bartra thought for a moment. She was right. Making someone betray the place they were born to and that Holy Knights were trying to protect was not your everyday task. His family and friends would be very disappointed with him. "She's right Elliot. Maybe you should think this ove-"
"I'll do it"
Bartra and Elizabeth's eyes widened in concern. He really is going that far. Why? What was his reason?
"It bitters me that I have to betray the kingdom. But it's too corrupted for me to stay. I can't stay and do nothing while the kingdom is destroying itself!" Eliot exclaimed with a tone of determination.
Bartra saw this and smiled. This wasn't something a Holy Knight would do, much less willingly. There was no reason to stop someone who has really decided to do something.
"Very well then. Diamond Holy Knight Elliot. I entrust you the protection of Princess Elizabeth to you. Do you still want to change your decision?" Bartra said.
"No, sir!" Elliot exclaimed with a grin on his face. He then turned to see Elizabeth, who had a smile on her as she regained hope. That smile was so nostalgic and beautiful to him, he needed to protect it.
"Just something before you go…" Bartra said while coughing awkwardly "How do you plan to get out of the castle?"
"Oh, that's easy." Elliot then ran behind the throne which made Bartra frown in confusion. What the hell was he planning to do? Elliot then pulled a very small lever that was well hidden from sight, which made Baltra's eyes widen in shock as a secret passage opened before them.
"Wait a second, what is that!" Bartra demanded in a serious tone.
"U-um…" Elizabeth was flustered in embarrassment. She remembered Elliot's secret tunnel. But how is she going to explain this to her father?
"This, my king, is a secret tunnel that I built for a way to the throne room. It was very interesting to spy on the meetings with Elizabeth…" Elliot rubbed his head sheepishly as he saw Bartra's angry face "Well Elizabeth, let's go now!"
"Y-yes!" Elizabeth exclaimed with a downward expression on her face, she didn't want to leave the King, but she had no choice "Be careful father!"
"WAIT!" Bartra tried to stop them since he wanted to scold them, but they left before he was able to do it. The passage then closed, leaving only Bartra in the room.
Bartra sighed in frustration and relief. Now that they were both gone, he could only hope to leave her daughter safety in Elliot's hands. But there was something that was still bothering him about Elliot.
'His eyes...' Bartra thought in concern. He knew that Elliot's eye color was something interesting. Elliot had brown eyes on the day, but they turned red when it was night. For what reason exactly?
And then it was the stone sword. A Holy Knight made of stone won't cut anything, and would not be suited for battle. But he carries it all the time, and he felt a strange presence inside it…
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a lot of footsteps were closing in behind the door. It was time for his arrest.
"Well then Elliot, I will leave Elizabeth to you."
Elizabeth and Elliot managed to get out of the castle. The tunnel leads to an old storage room outside of Liones. With no one following them, the two managed to relax.
"Alright, no one is coming, we can relax now" Elliot sighed in relief as he threw himself on some old sandbags. "Seriously, acting all loyal and respectful towards your father is really tiring, Elizabeth."
"I imagined you would be reacting like that…" Elizabeth sweatdropped at his friend's sudden change of attitude "But I know you weren't lying that you will betray the kingdom and become a criminal, Elliot…"
Elizabeth was about on the verge of tears since she is sad that Elliot did this to himself.
"Heh, you're always been like this, ever since we've been little kids." Elliot chuckled as he remembered how a crybaby Elizabeth was, and she still is "Don't worry Elizabeth, this was my decision, and I know how we can restore Liones to its former glory."
Elizabeth stopped crying as he looked at Elliot with a hopeful expression "Y-you do?"
"Yep, we're going to find the legendary Seven Deadly Sins." Elliot revealed causing Elizabeth to recognize what he was exactly meant.
"The legendary Seven Deadly Sins? If I recall, they were banished as criminals…" Elizabeth was thinking if Elliot's idea was good, and honestly, she did like it.
"I suppose you don't believe in that crap…" Elliot deadpanned because it was silly that the Holy Knights were to believe it was that easy to struck false ideas in their heads. The Seven Deadly Sins were considered heroes of Liones, and their strongest force. It was honestly silly that they betrayed the kingdom all of sudden.
"O-of course not, I truly believe them as heroes, and they would never murder Lord Zaratras." Elizabeth had a resolute expression on her face.
"Yep, you're absolutely right." Elliot said.
"B-but, how do you plan to find them?" Elizabeth asked curiously.
"I… actually don't know. I only have the location of Fox Sin Ban; he is currently in Baste Dungeon." Elliot said while recalling the moment when some knights spoke of how many times Ban was executed, and survived all of the attempts.
"S-sir Ban is in Baste Dungeon? But it's impossible to break him out with just you alone!" Elizabeth exclaimed in worry.
"Don't worry Elizabeth, I'm not going alone. If I recall correctly, there is a tavern not too far from this place, maybe I can recruit some people there." Elliot said causing Elizabeth to sigh in relief.
"That sounds like a good idea. Then it's decided, right? We're going to that place to recruit some people and save Sir Ban!" Elizabeth now had a clear picture of what they must do.
"Yep. We're leaving at morning though, so be prepared." Elliot said causing Elizabeth to nod.
"Um, Elliot there was something I wanted to ask you, about your eye-"
"Alright we're going to sleep here tonight, you take that old couch right there Elizabeth while I use these sandbags, bye!" Elliot rapidly evaded the question as he immediately fell asleep.
"Eh?! Elliot wait…" Elizabeth tried to say something, but Elliot was already asleep. He always tries to change topics or evade the question completely when someone asks him about his eyes 'Why are you so reluctant on not telling us, Elliot…' she thought as she slowly fell asleep.
"U-um, so why did you pick this rusty armor in the first place?" Elizabeth asked curiously as she was getting more and more tired while walking with that rusty armor on.
"Well, it's not pretty for me either…" Elliot said as he wore dirty town clothes. He had a ragged green shirt and very small shorts that it felt like he was going to explode. "It's the only thing that we could get in that dump. It disguises us well though…" Elliot sighed, he knew that Elizabeth was going to suffocate in that armor, so they better hurry up before she collapses.
"T-that's true... but don't you think it attracts too much attention?" Elizabeth asked innocently.
"Nah it's fine, besides, you don't want to wear this anyway, trust me." Elliot assured as they were closer to the tavern.
Elizabeth was tired. Very tired. She could faint at any moment. She took a look into Elliot's eyes, and what was curious about it is that they were not red anymore.
They were brown.
Meliodas was doing his everyday business, he was in charge of his tavern the Boar Hat, and was serving drinks and food to the customers, while also hearing them talk.
"Hey, I saw that Wandering Rusty Knight not too long ago…" said one man.
"Really? I thought I was just a mere rumor that was just to scare people. Is it real?" said another, "They say he is one of the Seven Deadly Sins."
That gained the attention of Meliodas, he didn't want to make a fuss about, so he just went to them casually.
"The Seven Deadly Sins?" Meliodas said gaining the men's attention.
"You mean that you didn't hear about them, little guy?" Another man asked him.
"They're the most feared group of criminals in all Liones, they slaughtered a lot of Holy Knights before escaping the Kingdom." Another man added.
Meliodas decided to just leave them be in their conversation as he just took his time to serve other customers. He still wanted to listen though, and so, he did.
"But, I don't think that knight is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Recently, A Holy Knight of Liones has gone rogue."
"Oh yeah, I heard, don't what he is thinking really. Is he the one in the rusty armor?"
Meliodas was now confused. A Holy Knight betraying the Kingdom? Who could possibly do that? And for what reason exactly?
"Don't know exactly. Because that rusty knight is traveling with someone really poor looking, and sick. I don't know why, and I don't care. Seriously this world has gone crazy enough for me to understand." A man huffed while chugging his ale down to the bottom.
Suddenly the door of the tavern started to open slowly. Some people turned to look at the figure. It was a young man with blue hair and brown eyes. He wore very poor clothes such as a ragged green shirt and dirty pants.
"Is he the one that was with the rusty knight?" one of the men whispered.
"Unsure, he looks very miserable though." A man laughed at the person who was approaching the counter were Meliodas was standing. "And he doesn't look like anyone in the wanted posters."
"Excuse me but, can me and my friend rest here for a bit? I'll pay, so you don't have to worry about anything" the blue-haired man asked in a casual tone causing Meliodas to stare at him in confusion.
"Friend?" A talking pig named Hawk spoke who was also confused "And why do I smell rust nearby?" Hark sniffed.
Suddenly, the sound of rusty clicking was heard, which startled every customer in the bar. When everyone turned to the door. They paled at what they seeing. It was the rumored knight with rusty armor, and now it was making its way towards the bar master.
"Seve… deadl… Sins…" said under its helmet in an indistinguishable voice.
"It's one of the Seven Deadly Sins!" a customer started to scream in panic which caused the rest to do the same.
"RUN!" Everyone shouted as they left the bar in the blink of an eye, leaving Meliodas, Hawk, and the two mysterious people.
"Her" the man with blue hair pointed at the direction of the rusted knight.
"HER?!" Hawk shouted is disbelief, but Meliodas kept a neutral expression.
The rusted knight stood there for a while before finally collapsing to the ground. The helmet fell off, and what revealed was a beautiful young woman with silver hair that had her bang cover her right eye.
"I knew she wouldn't last this long…" the blue-haired man sighed as he leaned over to the woman.
Meliodas frowned when he saw her. It appears he had seen her before but then turned to her companion, who was trying to carry her. Who was he? It seemed familiar to him but he couldn't recall just yet.
"Hey little, can you show me a room to take her?" asked the man.
"Sure." Meliodas agreed with a smile on his face.
Meliodas then told him to go to the last floor when he would find a room with a bed in it. He complied and took her, leaving her in the bed. After he did all that, Meliodas couldn't help but ask him a single question.
"Alright, who are you?" Meliodas asked with slight hostility as the guy with blue hair turned with a confused expression.
"Is that important?"
"Of course it is! We barely know you and you scared all of the customers in our bar!" Hawk screamed causing the man to get more confused.
"The pig can talk?"
"You just realized it?"
"Actually, yeah, I just did." The man rubbed his head sheepishly in embarrassment. Meliodas then started to look at him as he was just realizing something.
'Blue hair, Brown eyes, Idiot, and he appears to be a friend of her…' Meliodas thought as all the pieces were starting to come together. "You 're Lil'l Elliot." Meliodas pointed his finger while keeping a deadpanned expression.
"Huh?" Elliot was surprised that someone knew his name. He then took a moment to analyze the little guy who was exanimating Elizabeth a little too close 'Looks like a kid, blonde hair, green eyes… and a careless pervert."
"Ah, MELIODAS?!" Elliot shouted in disbelief.
"Why are you surprised." Meliodas kept a dull expression but then smiled when Elliot recognized him.
"No way, it has been like what, 10 years?" Elliot smiled as he and Meliodas shared a fist bump
"Man, you've gotten big. How's everyone doing at the kingdom?" Meliodas asked.
"Very bad. Everything in the kingdom is too corrupted that I had to flee." Elliot sighed as he looked at Elizabeth who was sleeping "The Holy Knights were after her for some reason, I don't know why, and… are you even listening?!"
Elliot was looking at Meliodas who was too busy groping Elizabeth boob. Elliot didn't even get mad, he knew he was always like this, but really? On a sleeping woman?
"That idiot! Hey, do something!" Hawk shouted to Elliot, but the latter just shrugged in dismiss, it was pretty normal for him.
Elizabeth then immediately woke up since she felt something strange. The girl didn't know how to react as Meliodas was groping her breast.
"U-um…" she said flustered.
Meliodas quickly retrieved his hand and smiled "Nothing out of the ordinary here."
"T-thank you very much for letting me stay here." Elizabeth said while looking to her surroundings since it was a completely different place "W-Where am I?"
"This is my bar, you came here with your friend and fainted." Meliodas said.
"Friend?" Elizabeth was remembering that she actually came with someone before realizing "Where's Elliot?!" she became worried.
"I'm here." Elliot said while waving his hand to the princess.
"Elliot, thank goodness." Elizabeth sighed in relief before turning to Meliodas "Are you the owner of this place?"
"Is that weird?" Meliodas tilted his head in confusion.
"N-no, I saw that sword on your back so I immediately thought…"
"Oh, this thing?" Meliodas grabbed the sword on his back and pulled it out, scaring Elizabeth.
"Bad joke…" Elliot sighed as he knew the secret of Meliodas's 'sword'. It was a broken blade, and you couldn't really do much with it.
"Sorry, did I scare you?" Meliodas chuckled "It looks pretty authentic though, so you could just call it a deterrent for people to eat and run."
"I feel worse for the customers who actually pay to eat your food." Hawk sighed.
Elizabeth gasped as she heard the talking pig, as she immediately went to hug it with happiness "It's a talking pig!"
"I'm Hawk. Nice to meet you."
"I asked my father for one as a birthday present before." Elizabeth said while she was petting Hawk.
"Alright, while you're doing all that small talk, I'm going downstairs to prepare my armor, Meliodas." Elliot said as he was leaving the room, but Elizabeth perked up at what he said at the last second.
"Meliodas?" Elizabeth widened her eye since she heard that name before.
"Oh yeah, we already found one of the Sins." Elliot said casually. "Show it to her Meliodas"
"Sure." Meliodas nodded as he rolled up his sleeve showing the dragon tattoo on his shoulder.
"What!? You're one of the Seven Deadly Sins?" Hawk shouted in disbelief causing Elliot to look at the pig with confusion and then turning to Meliodas.
"Did I just revealed a secret or something?" Elliot questioned confused.
"Nah, not really, I just didn't even bother to tell anyone, fell like it wasn't necessary." Meliodas shrugged as it was just an everyday business.
'Yeah, sure something that big wasn't necessary to tell anyone.' Elliot's eye twitched because of how careless this guy was.
"W-what? But you don't look like…" Elizabeth couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing, it was the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins, and he looked like a kid. Nothing like those wanted posters were seeing.
"The one that draws those wanted posters is probably drunk. They're not accurate, Elizabeth." Elliot said while showing Meliodas's wanted poster, and comparing it to the actual Meliodas, they were completely different "Of course no one on the bar recognized him."
"Well, anyway, are you both hungry?" Meliodas said.
"Aren't you a terrible cook?" Elliot asked since he did not remember well how Meliodas cooked.
"Yes, he is. Don't even try it." Hawk assured causing Elliot to sigh.
"U-um, I'm kind of hungry." Elizabeth said shyly.
"Alright! I'm going to confirm the death of the princess right away!"
"Oh come on Elliot, it's not that bad as it was 10 years ago." Meliodas said in confidence, causing Elliot to raise an eyebrow.
"Guess it doesn't hurt to try…" Elliot wasn't convinced at all, but he was right. He had to improve something in all those ten years… Right?
*Sometime later*
"I. Regret. My. Decision." Elliot groaned in pain after he ate Meliodas meat pie… and swallowed it.
"How long has he been in the bathroom?" Meliodas asked the sweatdropping pig.
"An hour…" said, Hawk.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth was crying about how bad the food was.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Open up!" a voice demanded.
"Who's knocking?" Elliot said as he was getting out of the bathroom. He knows had his suit of black armor that he prepared earlier with his sword sheathed.
"We are the knights that are stationed at the base of this mountain. We heard from one of the villagers that a knight with rusty armor is connected to the former Holy Knight, send him peacefully and there will be no trouble." The same voice demanded to cause Elliot to frown. They were after him from the looks of it.
"Holy Knights…" Elizabeth instantly became worried.
"Hey Meliodas, can you cover for me like old times?" Elliot grinned as he remembered how Meliodas always covered him up whenever he got into trouble with other Holy Knights 10 years ago. "I'm too lazy to go out and deal with that."
"Kishishi, like old times, alright, leave it to me." Meliodas laughed as he went to answer the door.
"Let's hide Elizabeth." Said Elliot.
"Y-yes!"
"You called?" Meliodas said as he greeted the knights.
"Who the hell are you!?" the bowl-headed idiot demanded.
"I'm the owner of this place of course." Said Meliodas with a neutral expression, while the knights became confused.
"Wha-what? This kid is the owner of the tavern?" A man with a very big nose questioned in disbelief.
"That Rust Knight might be the former Holy Knight Elliot, send him out." The bowl headed idiot demanded once again.
"Oh, you mean the pig? Come out!" Meliodas shouted as Hawk came out of the door with a disguise on. Elliot was watching while hidden and he just facepalmed at the whole silly situation.
'Really Meliodas… the pig? They're not going to believe an inch of what you're saying.' Thought Elliot in exasperation
"You brat, stop mocking us and tell me where the Holy Knight is!" The bowl headed idiot lifted Meliodas by his shirt.
'Maybe I should just fend them off.' Elliot sighed as he was preparing for his stone sword, but he felt something wasn't, he turned around to see it…
Elizabeth was gone…
'Don't tell me…' Elliot had an annoyed expression on his face. He forgot that Elizabeth is too kind to not want to harm anyone with her problems. But come on, this was his problem, why would she run away?
"Alioni look! There is a woman escaping from behind!" a guard shouted while pointing to the direction of the forest.
Elliot went to the window and he saw that it was indeed Elizabeth was running.
"Let's follow her, she might lead us to the Holy Knight." Alioni ordered as he threw Meliodas to the ground and went to the forest with his squad.
Elizabeth was running through the forest as she's been chased by a lot of knights.
"Stop right there!"
'She's not Holy Knight Elliot, but at least she could lead off to him if we capture her.' Alioni thought with a smirk on his face as he thought he had won. That was before he heard a bunch of bumps behind him. He was confused as he turned to see what was the case.
"What the-"
"You think you can run from the mighty Hawk?" Hawk was knocking out the knights one by one.
"The pig is charging at us?" Alioni was confused and when he turned again to the front, he saw no woman, but actually a cliff. Hawk managed to bump him out of the cliff, and thus Alioni fell.
On top of the trees however were, Elizabeth being held by Meliodas, and Elliot on the other tree.
"You saved me twice, how can I possibly repay you?" Elizabeth said, but Meliodas ignored her, he was too busy groping her chest.
"Lady, how about hitting him to repay him?" Hawk ticked a nerve.
"I got much to learn." Elliot sighed in defeat.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
"Anyway, now that that's over, we should get to the tavern and get out of here." Elliot stretched his arms "We need to find Ban."
"You know where Ban is?" Meliodas perked up when Elliot said that.
"Yep, Baste Dungeon, a little far away, but the sooner we do this, the better." Elliot said.
"U-um, you two." Elizabeth called the two who just finished talking. "T-thank you for this, I don't know what I could have done without you." She was a little embarrassed.
"Don't mention it." The two men said in unison, which caused them to look at each other in confusion before breaking out in laughter "Jinxed it."
Suddenly, everyone tensed on the ground that they were all standing started to crumble. Elliot then turned to see that a man with big armor and a mustache did it.
"Oh great…" Elliot sighed in annoyance as he was falling down. Meliodas just kept a dull expression, while Hawk and Elizabeth screamed for their lives.
"Oops, I didn't turn to see who they were, I just swung my sword." The man that cut the cliffs said in amusement "Guess, I'll just report 3 unknown people dead."
That statement, of course, was false, when the three people that the knight blasted away, just climbed the cliffs like it was nothing. Meliodas was carrying Alioni, who was just down the cliff, and Elliot was carrying Elizabeth and Hawk.
"What're you lot to do alive?!" the man demanded, "Don't go ruining my confirmed kill count that easily!"
"Don't go confirm it so easily then!" Hawk shouted back.
Elliot sighed, he didn't want to do anything too troublesome, but he had no choice. If they want to go fast, then they have to end it fast. "Everyone, go to the bar, I'm going to deal with this guy quickly."
"Aaand there you go again wanting to solve problems too fast. You should really use your head sometimes you know?" Meliodas teased.
"Haha, very funny." Elliot said with clear sarcasm "I just want to be done with this once and for all…"
"Alright, I'm going to wait for you at the bar." Meliodas said without a slight of worry.
"Sir Meliodas! Is it really okay to just leave him?" Elizabeth became worried about the safety of her friend.
"Well, I haven't really seen him fight, but that look of confidence gave me all the information I need." Meliodas smiled in assurance.
"Be careful Elliot…"
After everyone left, it was just Elliot, the huge guy with the mustache, and the rest of the knights. The mustache hulk turned to see Elliot as he was slowly analyzing him.
"Hmm, black armor with golden lines, blue hair and brown eyes. You're the Former Holy Knight Elliot, aren't you?" the man questioned Elliot who had a neutral expression on his face.
"Yep. And you're Master Hendrickson's dog… Twatgo I believe?" said Elliot while scratching his head.
"Grr, it's Twigo!" Twigo got enraged as he charged onto Elliot, and swung his sword. The knights that were watching the fight were laughing at how that Former Knight could be so weak, only to be shocked at what happened next.
Elliot blocked the attack easily, with his stone sword…
"What? He blocked Lord Twigo's attack with a stone blade, and didn't even broke?!"
"That's impossible! A stone sword is not a weapon suited for combat, what's the meaning of this?" Twigo was confused. He then tried to move away from Elliot, but something happened.
He couldn't.
"I can't move… what's happening?" Twigo gritted his teeth as he tried to move his feet but couldn't, he looked down to see what was slowing him, and immediately became scared "W-why is there blood on my feet?"
Twigo's feet were actually covered in blood that was grabbing his feet like they were vines.
"Blood manipulation, this is my magic that you're witnessing." Elliot's tone now sounded menacing, as it sent chills onto Twigo's spine. "Now tell this to Master Hendrickson… that his monster is going to pay him a visit soon." Elliot's eyes slowly changed to color red. "Blood thorns!"
The blood vines that were grabbing Twigo's feet instantly grew spikes, impaling them. Twigo screamed in pain, as he fell to the ground defeated. The Knights immediately went over to aid Twigo.
"Lord Twigo!" The Knights helped the apprentice to stand in his feet. Elliot merely turned his back and started heading towards the Boar Hat, but not before hearing some sickening words from Twigo.
"Monster, Devil, what are you?!" Twigo demanded an answer, but Elliot didn't answer as he just made his way back towards the Boar Hat.
As Elliot was heading towards the Boar Hat, he couldn't get some words out of his head, as he muttered them.
"Monster, huh?"
