Hey guys what's up? The second chapter of "Fate Sins" is here! First off, I would like to thank you guys for your wonderful reviews and criticisms especially you Kinunatzs with your good and enlightening advise and opinions for this crossver story. Don't you worry guys, I'll make Altria as a badass cripple quite believable as much as possible as I can but this anime all things thought impossible can be made possible after all until she's fully healed in the Baste Dungeon arc. LOL. XD :D :) In this second chapter of "Fate Sins", Altria Pendragon travels with the small Boar Hat crew to Bernia Village where they discover it suffering because of the sword of the Holy Knight got stuck on the ground that magically sealed off the village's water supply and it must be pulled out.
Disclaimer: I do not own Nanatsu no Taizai or Fate series. They belong to Nakaba Suzuki and TYPE-MOON. That includes all the characters from both awesome franchises involved in the fanfic story. Even to the animation teams and studio behind the two franchises' anime adaptations.
Anyways, don't forget to review and enjoy the chapter! :)
Edit: I made some few alterations in response to Guest's negative reviews recently. Hope it's okay. I'm only trying to make Altria act more human since she's no longer a king and redo her life in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai but her ideals still stand.

Chapter 2
On the long road towards the destination of the next town the Boar Hat is heading to after Kaynes Village, Hawk's Mother carrying the witch hat-shaped bar had traveled along the way, passing by houses and trees unnoticed by bystanders on the road while inside the Boar Hat where Elizabeth, who was revealed to be the Third Princess of the kingdom of Liones looks out from the window before Meliodas, the Dragon's Sin of Wrath called out to her.
"Hey, Elizabeth."
"Yes?", the silver haired princess responded as she turned away from the window.
"Take a look outside." Meliodas telling her before heading downstairs as the third princess of Liones thought out loud. "This isn't a dream! I've really found one! The legendary member of the Seven Deadly Sins, Lord Meliodas! I think..."
Meanwhile downstairs, Altria Pendragon had changed to her new attire a proper blue long-skirt and white long-sleeved shirt, that almost looked too similar to the ones she wore provided by Rin Tohshaka due to her inability to dematerialize in spirit form thanks to Shirou when he first summoned her improperly back in the Fourth Grail War. Her hair is still braided as before. She bought the new clothes while on a short stop on the road in a clothing store at a moderate cost using what little amount of money she had and discarded her old ruined clothing, although would miss her armor dress. Hawk helped the dressing of Altria's right broken arm and made it into an arm cast hung by sling around her neck.
The King of Knights had to admit it that Hawk has good skills of first aid kit and politely thanking the talking pig who felt appreciated and commented to himself that Meliodas should have said the same thing Altria did for all the hard work he did. Sensing her magical energy within herself, Altria can feel the Regeneration Power inside her body is currently healing her broken arm automatically although in a very slow pace for some reasons. Probably she's low on energy, having not eaten lately, which she forced herself on a little hunger strike after a bad experience with Meliodas' cooking and refuses to eat any of them he cooked up, preferring to buy some real good food for herself with what's left of her money if she had the chance. It might take a long while to fully recover from the brutal bone-crushing arm experience by Twigo, the man who gave her that before Meliodas defeated him in an overpowered counterattack, leaving Altria a cripple for now and had to deal with it, letting her automatic self-healing power to do its (slowly but surely) job.
Elizabeth had a change of clothing too provided by Meliodas. She wears a purple buttoned shirt with a black ribbon, and a dark mini skirt strapped with a pink belt. Although she looked nervous and bashful, wearing such a strange outfit she wore as while she lived in the palace before escaping to find the Seven Deadly Sins wearing the Rust Knight armor, Elizabeth wore formal and proper royalty dresses.
"U-um... About this outfit...", Elizabeth nervously wondered with a flustered look on her face.
In response to Elizabeth's question, Meliodas gave the thumbs up and told her, "It's my bar's uniform!"
"Sorry, his taste is so obvious.", Hawk retorted, apologizing to Elizabeth for Meliodas' perverted sense of fashion for women.
While near the board of the Seven Deadly Sins' wanted posters, Altria remained silent and nodded in agreement to the talking pig's opinions while silently felt grateful that the Dragon's Sin of Wrath didn't put her on that seemingly ridiculous outfit.
As Meliodas began his 'inspection check' on Elizabeth at all sides and angle of her body, the third princess naively spoke, "So all I have to do is to gather rumors and information on the Seven Deadly Sins while I wait on customers, right?"
"Information on the Holy Knights would be helpful too.", Meliodas added.
"Intelligence gathering? So that's the purpose behind the Boar Hat. To gather every details and intel from customers who speak rumors and tales to each other on the possible locations of your Seven Deadly Sins around Britannia while on a business, right Sir Meliodas?", Altria deduced, after breaking her short silence to which the Dragon's Sin of Wrath nodded as correct.
"Yup, Altria. That's what I did for ten years since then. And don't call me 'sir' again, remember that. Ni-shi-shi.", the blond kid straightly told the King of Knights, slightly embarrassed herself of her formalities to people of titles and rank. Maybe she needs to lighten up a little bit and skip the honorifics when she's on a conversation with her new friends.
"So what about Altria? What can she do? I mean, she can't serve as the waitress due to her condition. Pugo! Pugo!", Hawk asked his master about Altria's new role as the new employee of the Boar Hat but her broken arm might complicate things while on work as it requires both hands to do the work.
"Well she can pour ale into the mugs for customers at the bar stand or help advertise the Boar Hat of its ale and food.", Meliodas answered before pulling up Elizabeth's short skirts to see her panties underneath, saying, "Don't worry, just making sure it's nice and snug." to which the third princess naively agreed to the Dragon's Sin of Wrath's words.
This severely ticked off Hawk and Altria of how Meliodas' perverted attitude towards Elizabeth with the talking pig biting onto the blond kid's hair and pulling him down, angrily exclaiming, "Idiot! We've just got some eye candy in here and you're gonna drive her away?!" while the King of Knights politely berated Meliodas saying, "Sir Meliodas, you're a knight, one that upholds the honor and dignity of ladies even if you're no longer one, your vows to knighthood and chivalry still remain. So please, refrain your perverted actions from Elizabeth or you'll make me force my hand. Understood?"
You're an embarrassment to all knights.., Altria mentally sighed when Meliodas gave a thumbs up, showing that he understands but obviously he's gonna do it again whenever he liked it from the looks on his child-like face while Elizabeth naively defends Meliodas' actions towards her, made the King of Knights sigh deeper of the princess' naive nature.
After everything has calmed down, Elizabeth, having gotten used to her new outfit, started to ask questions to Meliodas. "Lord Meliodas. There's just one question I wish to ask you."
The Dragon's Sin of Wrath looked at her curiously as she continued speaking, "The Seven Deadly Sins...Lord Meliodas, are you as evil as the rumors say you are? If you are, what crime did you commit to earn your reputation?"
Interesting...I would like to know that too as well Princess Elizabeth, Altria mentally said, hoping to know more of the legendary captain of the Seven Deadly Sins himself and wonders what crime did he commit to earn the reputation of a very dangerous warrior in Britannia but remained quiet when Meliodas placed his arms on an 'X'-position and wonders aloud, "What crime did I commit?..."
"I just feel like that there must be some sort of misunderstanding here. Because you saved me! Altria and Hawk too as well. Someone you barely know.", Elizabeth insisted with a little boldness in her voice.
The Dragon's Sin of Wrath then decides to tell the third princess and boldly told to her, "Ten years ago, I traveled all around Liones and stole all the women's underwear I could find."
With images of stolen women's underwear formed around in her head, the silver-haired third princess became flustered by his words and nervously exclaimed, "Y-you're kidding right?!"
"Yep.", Meliodas said right, causing Elizabeth to tilt over in a deadpanned expression.
He's messing around with her..., Altria simply face-palmed, knowing how that it's ridiculously absurd that Meliodas actually did that and has been playing around with Elizabeth's naivety and innocence all along.
Then Meliodas told Elizabeth his another claim of his crime, "Actually, I went around groping the breasts of over a thousand women."
"W-what?! Are you joking?!", Elizabeth became flustered again with images of censored nude breasts all over her head formed by the description of his 'crime' but Meliodas was joking again.
"Yep." that made the princess tilt over again deadpanned. Altria could only face-palm again to this conversation. What a pervert and Meliodas is the Dragon's Sin of Wrath?... How ironic. Maybe the Sin of Lust should have suited him best.
"Please stop making fun of me! Or did you really commit a crime that you can't speak about to anyone?", Elizabeth firmly insisted to know of Meliodas' crime after falling into the Seven Deadly Sins' captain's joke.
"Sir-er I mean Meliodas, be serious. We would like to know what was really your crime just as Elizabeth wanted to.", Altria spoke, backing up the silver-haired princess' word while trying her best to skip the formalities as best as she can.
"Thank you, Altria.", Elizabeth thanked the blond lady knight.
"Something like that.", Meliodas titled his head, confirming that he won't tell his past to anyone yet. That leaves Altria somewhat suspicious and wanted to find out what Meliodas actually did. A crime related to his title, the Dragon's Sin of Wrath. He could not have earned that moniker if he didn't commit a crime that might relate to his title.
For a few moments of silence before it was broken by a loud squeal coming from Hawk's Mother, Elizabeth nearly fell over when the giant green pig carrying the Boar Hat stopped but Meliodas stopped her from falling, intentionally digging his face in into the third princess' chest, pissing off Hawk and Altria.
"Hey, hey!", the talking pig and the King of Knights retorted together with their heads in a ticked off expression. One of these days, I'm gonna teach Elizabeth how to defend herself from Meliodas' sexual harassment and perverted antics no matter what it takes!, Altria made a mental note to herself.
At Bernia Village
When Hawk's Mother stopped at their intended destination, Meliodas tells his crew. "Here we are. Our next target for gathering information. Bernia Village!" as the giant green pig carrying the Boar Hat began to dig into the ground and planted the bar in place after the Boar Hat crew exited the building and heads towards Bernia Village by foot.
"My bar stocks alcohol from all over the kingdom, but the booze from Bernia is on the different level.", Meliodas explained as he, Elizabeth, Altria and Hawk walked to the village's entrance. The blond kid continued his explanation more about the village, "Using water from a river hailed as the best in all of Liones and grout that's found growing along the banks, Bernia Ale is renowned throughout the entire kingdom."
"Impressive...that would explain why it it has good taste.", Altria commented, remembering how the ale she drank in her first time as a customer of the Boar after deciding not eat any of Meliodas' cooking any further, taste so good.
"But.., it appears that the famous river has dried up.", Hawk skeptically retorted as the Boar Hat crew noticed the river below the bridge they are standing on has dried up for some reason.
"The herbs all looked like they've wilted too.", Elizabeth noticed the plants situated next to the dried river, one of the vital ingredients behind Bernia Ale are dying from lack of water and too much sun.
"What could've happened?", Meliodas wondered and Altria had the same idea too as well, trying to think what could have caused the river of the Bernia Village to dry up even though the sun was not hot enough to do such a thing. Unless it has something to do with the Holy Knights.
Noticing a large crowd of people gathering around the town square of Bernia Village, the Boar Hat crew decides to head to the area and see what is going on over there.
"Wow, there's so many people here! I wonder if there's a festival?", Elizabeth squealed with joy.
Seriously?..., Altria face-palmed in response to the princess' naive nature that with the Holy Knights ruling the country why would they let the people enjoy the festivities if they needed them to do their forced labor and recruitment for their military efforts for war against an unknown enemy, knowing judging from the people's looks and actions with desperation don't look like they're having a festival. Something serious has happened in Bernia. And her notion was right when Meliodas approached the townspeople, asking.
"Yo! Is there the festival today?"
"Huh? Does this look like a festival to you? We're trying to pull out the sword that the Holy Knight stuck into the ground!", the townsman retorted as all the able-bodied men of the village trying to pull out the sword with all their might to no avail.
"The Holy Knight stuck the sword? Why'd he do that?", the Dragon's Sin of Wrath wondered in thought.
The village chief of Bernia approached the Boar Hat crew and explained to them, "Yesterday, we incurred the wrath of a Holy Knight. The Holy Knight's magic-imbued sword has sealed away the village's underground water source." Using her heightened senses, Altria looked on the ground below and saw large traces of lightning all over the water source's passageways being blocked, preventing water from coming through just like the village elder told them.
"At this rate, not only will the river disappear, but all the grout too!", one Bernia townsman spoke filled with anger and sadness.
Another Bernia townsman had the same feeling too, "If that happens, Bernia's ale will be...Damn it!"
The King of Knight felt the nostalgia, remembering the Caliburn, known as 'the Golden Sword of Assured Victory', 'the Sword of Selection' or the 'Sword in the Stone' stuck on the large stone. Her first sword before Excalibur Recalling how she became the king of Britain when she pulled the Sword in the Stone easily while no one else could, it sealed her fate forever with Caliburn as the symbol of Britain's king of knights once pulled out. Altria apparently lost Caliburn when she engages in a fight contrary to the principles of chivalry that caused her first sword to break at some of point time and had Excalibur as a new replacement from the Lady of Lake.
Now standing before Altria is the sword of a Holy Knight that none of the people of Bernia Village can pull even if they combined their strength together. And that made her upset of the Holy Knights' sick games on the people especially making a distasteful version of her past when no one among the lords and knights of Britain but her can pull out the Sword in the Stone as she clenched her hand of her left arm tightly.
"A Holy Knight...It couldn't be the one who broke Altria's arm and Lord Meliodas defeated, couldn't it?", Elizabeth wonders worryingly if the Holy Knight behind Bernia Village's misfortune is behind it, remembering the large knight stomping on the blond lady knight's right arm and being defeated by Meliodas back at Kaynes Village earlier.
"You mean Lord Twigo? He wasn't really a Holy Knight. An Apprentice Holy Knight to be exact. A real one is nothing like that.", Meliodas corrected Elizabeth, fully aware of the difference of power between the Holy Knights in rank.
"Y-you mean to tell me that the man who crushed my arm is... actually a lower-ranked Holy Knight?!", Altria angrily muttered with her eyes twitching, looking down on her right arm cast sling. She couldn't believe that Twigo was merely an apprentice to the Holy Knights! For an apprentice, Twigo's as strong as a sane version of Hercules. The King of Knights could have easily defeated the likes of Twigo even without Excalibur in single face-to-face combat but due to a lack of nourishment since she woke up in a land of Britannia that has drastically changed and weakened by Meliodas' bad cooking earlier when she first entered the Boar Hat which she had to blame him for it had led her to become a cripple in the first place.
"Yep, seems like it.", the Dragon's Sin of Wrath confirmed it and Altria tilted over in deadpanned expression.
Now this is more humiliating than ever for Altria Pendragon since the day she joined the Boar Hat crew when she ended up in her homeland greatly altered by her wish for the Holy Grail with Holy Knights ruled them with an iron fist, the King of Knights lost to an Apprentice Holy Knight! She thought Twigo was the Holy Knight after their first near fatal encounter at Kaynes Village. Just how powerful where the real Holy Knights are like the Seven Deadly Sins if there was ever a chance should she actually face the real one?!
The village chief continued his explanation, "If a Holy Knight stuck the sword into the ground, only a Holy Knight can pull it out." while the townsmen were panting in exhaustion after series of attempts to pull out that sword failed. "It pains me to say this, but this village is finished.", the village elder lamented of his town's sad fate in despair.
"But...", Elizabeth couldn't believe what the village elder just said.
Then, a short young boy with hair that is skipped out in two and has a scar under his left cheek spoke as he made his approach, "Oh, come on, why's everyone whining about?" Meliodas and Altria noticed the boy acting like it's no big deal.
"Mead!", the Bernia townsman with large figure said the boy's name.
"What's with the commotion about this Holy Knight's sword? If you leave it to my pal from the Seven Deadly Sins, it'll be a breeze!", the boy named Mead assured his fellow villagers, while flicking his nose posing acting like a cool person.
Meliodas, Elizabeth, and Altria looked on with surprise of what Mead just said about the one from the Seven Deadly Sins he claimed to be his friend.
"Listen, Mead! Just who do you think is responsible for this in the first place? Mentioning the Seven Deadly Sins is just about the worst thing you could do!", the Bernia townswoman strongly scolded Mead for his words.
The tall Bernia villager supported the middle-aged woman, "Yeah! Don't make the Holy Knight angrier than he already is!"
Soon, everyone in Bernia Village became very angry at Mead for speaking such words at the time of crisis like this, thinking that it was his fault in the first place as they started to take out their frustrations and anger at the boy.
"What exactly do you have against us?!"
"Wh-what? I never mean't it like that!", Mead suddenly lost his bravado when all the villagers glared angrily at him.
"We're through with your lies and jokes!", the blond villager yelled at the boy as the village girl picked up a rock at threw at Mead.
"Stupid Mead!", the girl's aim was off as the rock intended for Mead headed straight into Meliodas' face but Altria caught it with her free left hand easily, leaving the would-be attacker baffled.
The King of Knights stepped in front of Mead and then glared at the Bernia villagers in a blunt serious expression, "Taking out your anger at this young boy won't even help you at your situation. What good will it get to you people if you harmed Mead right here and now just because he told you some petty lies and jokes to you in the past or something he did to upset a Holy Knight that caused your misfortune. Tell me, will hurting Mead get the Holy Knight's sword out from the ground or not? Answer me..."
Almost immediately, this made the angry villagers to shut up when they heard a crippled young blond woman with a broken right arm criticizing their actions towards Mead and shook their heads as a no to her question.
"Good. Meliodas, please take Mead to the Boar Hat for now. It'll calm down the angry atmosphere here a little bit.", Altria spoke, feeling satisfied of the Bernia villagers' answer to her words and told the Dragon's Sin of Wrath to escort Mead to his bar to which he complied. The people soon calmed down slowly by the village elder's word when some still had their hot steam in their heads.
After Meliodas and Mead left for the Boar Hat, Elizabeth and Hawk were surprised of how Altria managed to make the angry villagers of Bernia into submission and stopped them from doing something harsh towards Mead for saying such thing of his claim that his friend is one of the Seven Deadly Sins at the time of the crisis at hand.
"W-wow..Altria, I didn't know you can do that...", Elizabeth said, finally breaking her silence.
"I had my ways around with people when they're like that, Elizabeth. Can't be helped", Altria commented, referring to her Charisma that allowed her to lead Britain with her good and just rule, inspire loyalty from her subjects and the Knights of the Round Table, and fear to her enemies long before her downfall.
"Your tone is that of a king. Full of authority and power over people. Pugo! Pugo!", Hawk commented.
A king huh? That didn't stop the Holy Knights from rebelling against Elizabeth's father and took over the entire kingdom..., The King of Knights mentally said. After hearing Elizabeth's full story while on the road before arriving at Bernia, it almost felt like a deja vu to Altria similar with Mordred rebelling against her, leading an army of dissidents and rebels and brought the downfall of her kingdom. The Holy Knights are no better, they turned on their liege ruler and betrayed every principle of chivalry the knights stand for.
Approaching the two women, the village chief spoke to Elizabeth and Altria Pendragon, "Mead's a good kid deep down but..." He then explained of Mead's history of being a prankster in their village, his parents who were travelers died a few years ago when they stopped by at Bernia Village due an epidemic, leaving the boy an orphan but the villagers were kind enough to take him in and raised him in place of his parent but felt great sadness that he was never part of anyone's family and became jealous of everyone who has families of their own, having started telling lies and pulling pranks simply to get attention.
The village elder then explained the reason behind the Holy Knight stuck his sword on Bernia's underground water supply was revealed that Mead placed a bug in the Holy Knight's drink, the latter described having pink hair and blue eyes and a cold expression on his face, because the Holy Knight insulted Bernia Village's ale and their pride and joy of making the best one in Britannia, calling it 'only slightly better than a horse's urine' whom everyone worked really hard to make it, as it was the year's best batch of ale they've made and Mead placed a bug on the next drink in response to the insult which angered the pinkette Holy Knight who then sealed Bernia's river's underground water source with a sword imbued with magic, leading to everyone blaming Mead for their crisis as their ale brewing industry was the sole economic income for the whole village.
After hearing Mead's story, Elizabeth felt great sympathy for Mead comparing herself that she once pulled pranks to get her father's attention but ended up having her father to get hurt when she climbed a tree to get his attention and the king had to climb to get her down despite not knowing how but fell anyways and was confined to his bed luckily he survived miraculously which it has been a relief for everyone in the kingdom. As for Altria, who also had the same feeling, knew how it's like to be raised by another family she doesn't really belong to as she remembered living together with the simple and wise old knight, Sir Ector who adopted and raised her into his family under the old magician Merlin (the other Merlin)'s consent and Sir Kay was like a brother she never had despite knowing the truth of her origins still regarded them as her real family. Altria never had the chance to know her true parents all because of the day of the prophecy when she will become king despite gender differences.
The girls and the talking pig soon headed back to the Boar Hat where they meet up with Meliodas who was talking with Mead and the two women told their story comparing them to Mead's, comforting the poor boy who then broke into tears, revealing that he only wanted to defend his hometown's pride from the Holy Knight's disgusting insult. After all things were cleared up, Mead revealed that one of the Seven Deadly Sins he claimed to be his friend was merely a lie all along while condemning that the Holy Knights are the real bad people around here and concludes that the Seven Deadly Sins were actually the good guys. Before they discuss more any further, the Boar Hat crew and Mead heard a loud commotion outside and decides to check it out at Bernia Village.
At the town square where two soldiers stationed at Bernia Village, one who is tall and very skinny and the other short and very fat with a beard with faces with disgusting glee on their faces that would make anyone punch them hard in the face if they saw that.
"Listen up you scum! If you aren't able to pull out the Holy Knight's sword by sunset, we're going to increase the taxes on this tenfold!", they declared. Obviously, they took advantage of the village's crisis and enjoyed the people's despaired and desperate looks on their faces in every single moment. And they loved their job, making the lives of the villagers of Bernia miserable as possible.
And as expected, the people of Bernia were not pleased of the two soldiers' demands as they all shouted out angry protests and objections to the very unfair conditions laid down to them.
"That's impossible!"
"What?! This is absurd!"
"That's insane!"
"Forget about being paid tenfold!"
"With the water dried up, we won't even be able to make a single glass of ale!"
The fat bearded soldier gleefully retorted, "This is your punishment! Not only did you insult a Holy Knight, you even claimed that one of the villainous Seven Deadly Sins as your friend!
"Shit, if only Mead hadn't shut his stupid mouth off!", the tough-looking Bernia townsman muttered, angry of what Mead spouted earlier and now the village had to pay the consequences because of him.
But then Mead ran towards the Holy Knight's sword still stuck on the ground and attempted to pull it out himself, surprising the two soldiers after threatening the village with increased taxes.
"Mead!", the middle-aged woman called out to the boy.
"Not you, again. It's boring to watch a brat like you try all the time", the tall soldier said, looking displeased of Mead's presence, watching as the boy continued his vain attempts to pull the sword out from the ground.
The fat bearded soldier then gleefully added, "Soon the taxes'll be twenty times as high!"
Hearing the fatass soldier's declaration to even raise the taxes more than ten or twenty fold because of Mead, the townspeople of Bernia Village were even more enraged than ever.
"What?!"
"There's no way you'll be able to pull it out!"
"Idiot!"
"Mead stop it!"
"Stop embarrassing us even further!"
The village elder couldn't take it anymore and called out to his people, "ENOUGH OF THIS!"
Everyone went silent and turned around to the village chief who got their attention.
"Village Chief?", they questioned him.
"Who was it that insulted our pride as ale brewers? Was it Mead? No! That child said what we are all feeling, did he not?", the village chief defended Mead's actions and everyone hung their heads in shame.
As Mead still tried desperately to pull the Holy Knight's sword out, the middle-aged woman stepped in and gave a helping hand.
"A-auntie?"
"It's as the Village Chief says. What you did was not wrong.", the woman said, believing in the village elder's words as she and the the children who came to Mead's side started to pull the sword again.
"Hey! Did you fools not hear what we said earlier? It's gonna be twenty times more twenty!", the tall soldier gleefully yelled at them, threatening to increase the taxes on this village even more when Mead, his adopted aunt and the children did their best to pull out the sword on the ground as the men with renewed spirit, ignoring the soldiers' threats as if their words were like wind to them decides to join in and tells the women and children to stay back.
"Alright! Let's do this!" as they tied the rope around the sword and gave each rope for every line of men gathering around to give up their one last pull.
Seeing how the Holy Knight's sword still not budging from the pull, the tall and the fat soldiers mocked them, "Gehahahaha! It's not even moving an inch!"
"While the people of Bernia gave it all they got to pull that sword off, you laugh at their pain and suffering like nothing more than trash. Taking advantage of their crisis made you no better than the Holy Knights. Acting all high and mighty. You should be ashamed of yourself.", Altria Pendragon berated at the two men who were laughing hysterically when they mocked Mead and the men of Bernia Village's resolve to never give up despite the hopeless situation she approached them the first one to arrive after following Mead while Meliodas, Elizabeth and Hawk followed behind.
"Gehahahaha! Oh look. The cripple is now talking down us! Gehahaha! Hey little lady, maybe you should pull out the Holy Knight's sword with your left arm once those scum give up. Oh wait, you can't! 'Cause you might break your another good arm off if you try to pull the sword out on your own! Gehahahaha!", the two soldiers snorted and insulted Altria of her words towards them, not knowing they will face her wrath later on and believed the cripple is harmless to their eyes as the King of Knights silently gritted her teeth and balled her fist, couldn't tolerate those disgusting men anymore.
Once I get my hands-er I mean hand on them, they're gonna wish that they never had been born in the first place!, Altria mentally exclaimed in her mind, nearly losing her cool but managed to force herself to remain calm but still showed her anger in her face towards those two disgusting creatures who called themselves men of the Holy Knights!
Ignoring Altria's anger after they mocked her, the two soldiers continued to watch the show, clearly enjoying the Bernia villager's desperation to pull out the sword together one last time as Mead and all the townsmen pulled with all their might.
"We're gonna sit back and watch you fools while we enjoy your cheep beer!", as they chugged down on their ale mugs through their mouths, sitting on the empty well, laughing at their pathetic attempt.
"Come on! Come out!", Mead yelled loudly as everyone gave it all they got for the love and the sake of their beloved hometown.
"Gehahahahahehe! Look at their desperate faces! Watching them goes together perfectly with drinking! Toast to the foo...ools?", the two drunken soldiers were about to make a toast for the misery of the people of Bernia Village but the ale mugs disappeared from the two soldiers' hands, leaving them baffled to see their drinks gone from their sights.
"Guys who don't appreciate the taste of alcohol don't deserve to drink this ale", Meliodas playfully berated them who was the second one to arrive followed by Elizabeth and Hawk who were the last, as he approached the sword still stuck on the ground while drinking two ale mugs together at once at the same time, passing by the tired citizens of Bernia and Mead after they failed to pull out the Holy Knight's sword.
"Well, that hits the spot!", Meliodas commented when he put down the two mugs in front of Mead.
Intending to the Holy Knight's sword out on his own, Altria got there first before him standing right in front of the sword on the ground.
"Altria? What are you doing?", Meliodas asked curiously when he saw her. The Bernia villagers, Mead, Elizabeth and Hawk noticed her too and wondered what was she doing over there in front of the sword. The two soldiers snickered in anticipation that Altria may actually break her left arm this time.
"Meliodas. Elizabeth. Hawk. Mead. Everyone. When there are times where there is no hope, hope is still alive in our hearts and will never be crushed no matter how bad things get in our lives in trial of hardships and suffering. It is because we stand and fight for what we believe in. You, the people of Bernia had proven that. You would rather keep trying to pull the Holy Knight's sword to the bitter end even if it's hopeless rather than give in and silently accepting to whatever those two slimy bastards here demanded as they please taking advantage in your moment of despair. I respect that greatly to see that your love for your home is greater than ever. As for me even if I'm a cripple short of one good arm, this is something I need to do...pulling out this sword for you!", Altria declared her resolve as the King of Knights used her left hand to grip on the Holy Knight's sword and, after sparks of electricity spewing from it, the weapon was pulled out from the ground the Holy Knight planted on! It felt like history repeating itself with Altria pulling out the Sword in the Stone that declared her the legendary king of Britain but instead she pulled out the Holy Knight's sword to save Bernia Village from its fate far worse than death.
This surprises Mead, the Bernia villagers and the two soldiers when they saw the crippled woman who was with the Boar Hat's owner Meliodas and his two companions Elizabeth and Hawk who were surprised as well, had actually pulled out the sword that nobody in the village can do!
"What?!"
"Huh!?"
"Whoa..."
"No way!"
"A sword that only a Holy Knight can pull out..."
"...was taken by a crippled woman?!", the tall soldier, equally shocked with his fatass bearded friend to see Altria pulling out the Holy Knight's sword, finishing the sentence just when the well where the two soldiers were sitting underneath suddenly erupted with a large pillar of water that sent them flying and the people of Bernia cheered when the water from their river returned once more, admiring the rainbow formed by the gushing waters built up after being blocked by lightning-infused sword since yesterday.
Recovering from the crash of the exploding waters in the well they formerly sat on, the two soldiers came face-to-face with Altria Pendragon, whose was slightly dripped from the shower caused by Bernia's well's flowing waters, holding the Holy Knight's sword that soon dimly glowed with light and wind slowly formed around it, probably from her Powers, with her free left arm pointed at them with a very vengeful look on her face, remembering how those two cowardly soldiers looked down on her just because she's a harmless cripple. "Get out of this town and never return. If I ever see your sorry faces again, I'll make you taste the cold steel of this Holy Knight's sword craving for your bastard blood...tenfold. Got it?", she threatened them darkly, repeating their last words of their threat to the village and swiftly sliced off the top of their helms, giving them a nice clean shave on their heads to prove her point.
"What's wrong, boys? Do you have any more insults left for a harmless cripple like me? Come on say it. I dare you...", Altria mocked the two of their insult to her earlier when they lost their wits and bravado, frozen with fear feeling her powerful raging aura formed around her.
Afraid of an angry crippled woman's backed threats with the Holy Knight's sword pointed at their throats, the two men hastily complied and fled for their lives like the cowards they are, running with their tails between their legs, never returning to Bernia Village ever again.
"Altria's amazing... Is this her strength? Is she as powerful as the Seven Deadly Sins?...", Elizabeth wondered in her thoughts as Altria took a good look at the Holy Knight's sword, a longsword to be exact, and swung it in different directions to test its sharpness and strength with her left hand, before finally deciding to keep it for future battles to come once her right arm is fully healed eventually.
"Hmm... Not a bad sword. Must be a fine work on this blade...quite long and still sharp even after a few days stuck on the ground. Steel's good too, I'd admit. 'Tis the shame the Holy Knight who stuck it here won't have it back. Hehe. Meliodas...mind if I keep this sword?", Altria politely asked, still holding the Holy Knight's sword on her left hand.
"Sure Altria, it's yours. You're the one who pulled it out anyway. Finders, keepers. Ni-shi-shi.", Meliodas replied with thumbs up in approval. Altria smiled in response and thanked the Boar Hat's owner. The Holy Knight's sword she pulled from the ground became hers now.
"Hey, could you possibly be the real...", Mead tried to ask Altria, thinking if she's one of the Seven Deadly Sins since no normal or a crippled person can actually pull out the Holy Knight's sword just like that.
"No, Mead. I'm just an employee of the Boar Hat, Mead. He is the real deal...", Altria Pendragon humbly replied and pointed out to Mead, giving him a hint that Meliodas is the one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
"So...you're-", Mead turned to Meliodas but the latter interrupted him.
"Altria's right! Not just 'possibly'. I'm a real proud owner of the bar!", Meliodas declared with a thumbs up and a smile, leading Altria to mentally face-palm. Not that one Meliodas...*sighs*
"That's not what I meant!", Mead tried to ask again but Meliodas interrupted him.
"Besides.., you still have something to do right?", as the Dragon's Sin of Wrath told the boy, pointing him to the people of Bernia.
The villagers of Bernia stood face-to-face with Mead with their heads hung in shame of how they treated the boy in their outburst at him earlier as the village elder stepped forward and spoke, "Mead, we're really sorry. Can you forgive us?"
"Whether or not I forgive you, for someone who's alone like me...", Mead tried to walk away from this, lying to himself but Meliodas stopped the boy from doing doing that and gave him a little push.
"Come on."
"Wh-what do you mean, 'Come on'?", Mead straightly asked when he was pushed by Meliodas.
Giving her newly-acquired sword to Elizabeth to hold for a little while, Altria put her left hand on Mead's shoulder and said in a comforting and assuring tone to the boy, "Come on, Mead. These people here are the only real family you never had. They have loved you and raised you with all their hearts, something that your parents failed to give when they died and would have wanted you to live your life in happiness not in sadness. You just failed to see that. Come on, go to them. They're waiting for you..Mead."
"I- I don't get what you're saying...", the boy tried to deny Altria's words with lies but after hearing so many voices from the villagers calling out his name, broke into tears as he couldn't take it anymore and went towards them, being welcomed back with open arms once more.
Altria felt a small tear on her eye leaking seeing Mead tearfully reunited with his true family and later wiped it off as Meliodas spoke to Mead, "No matter what lies you tell, you can't fool your own heart." The King of Knights agreed to the Dragon's Sin of Wrath's words.
Happy to see Mead reconciling with the people of Bernia Village and accepted back, Elizabeth gave Altria back her new sword who thanked her for that and noticed a little change on Meliodas' expression and wonders what it was.
Some time later after Altria pulled out the Holy Knight's sword that saved Bernia Village, Meliodas tasked Elizabeth and Hawk to buy to buy some herbs and fruits with the silver coins he hands them since it will be Elizabeth's first experience to use them since she only used gold coins throughout her life and don't know the value of currency and Altria to buy some more fresh supplies for the Boar Hat with the gold coins he provided and some of them she had left. The Dragon's Sin of Wrath even informed then that day's main dish will be the Dusk Bison that has been acting as a pest and destroying people's farms at night and the King of Knights was surprised that Meliodas would go with the plan and take the Dusk Bison down single-handedly to make the dish but seriously doubts that dish would be any that good if he cooks it himself.
Although Elizabeth and Hawk returned empty handed, and explained how they lost the items they bought with Elizabeth buying a comb and Hawk ate the spilled food, claiming that nothing is wasted, Meliodas hilariously expresses his irritation to them much to their dismay and as for Altria who knows how to complete the task at hand, buying all the list of supplies needed was complimented and spared by the Dragon's Sin of Wrath much to Hawk's frustration and Elizabeth naively remarking Altria's good job.
At the Boar Hat
Later in the middle of the night, all the people of Bernia Village gathered inside the Boar Hat held their celebration for the return of their land's water supply successfully revitalizing their village's livelihood as they cheered, "To Altria, employee of the Boar Hat who saved our village and to the return of Bernia's ale trade! Cheers! Hooray! YEAH!"
Altria could only blush in embarrassment of her deed, scratching her head with her left arm and smiled awkwardly from the praise of the townspeople since she was the one who pulled out the Holy Knight's sword after all and kept it for herself. The King of Knights placed her newly-acquired weapon upstairs next to the remains of the Rust Knight armor of Elizabeth's in preparation of the start of the celebration.
"Uh...no, really. It was nothing...eh...", Altria tried to defend herself from the praises and cheers towards her, it's been quite a very long time since she was praised in her time as the king of Britain only because of her victories in glorious battle of chivalry against barbarians and invaders of her country with her loyal subjects and her fellow Knights of the Round Table, but the townspeople people insisted and had another toast in her honor as everyone started the celebration with food and ale, more specifically the Bernia Ale the pride and joy of their village ready in place.
Meanwhile at the bar stand, Elizabeth stood nervously and flustered in her first time as the waitress of the Boar Hat during the celebration feast.
"I...I wonder if I'm able to pull this off. It's the first time I've done anything like this. I'm so nervous.", the princess worries herself as she never had worked before as she was the third princess of Liones and lived in a life of royalty before escaping and searching for the Seven Deadly Sins.
"I see, I see. So this is your first time.", Meliodas flatly commented before continuing, "Can you say that one more time? Just once more."
"What are you all getting excited for?!", Hawk retorted although sweats nervously all of a sudden.
Ignoring Hawk, Meliodas assured to Elizabeth before the crowd of Bernia feasting and drinking, "Well, don't worry about gathering information today. Just focus on being a waitress for now. At any rate, you should take it easy for now."
"Y-yes! I'll take it easy!", Elizabeth nervously declared, full of energy ready to take on her first time as the Boar Hat's waitress.
"No, you're not taking it easy, Elizabeth. Just calm down. Breathe properly. Relax. It'll be fine.", Altria advised the princess when she noticed the silver haired girl acting nervous and overly-excited of her new role and decided to help Elizabeth out with a small but helpful advise.
"Y-yes..", Elizabeth did what Altria advised and heads out to do her job. However, Altria's advise was all for naught when Elizabeth caused a slip-up and accidentally spilled the ale intended for the man with brown curly hair on him in a rush as Meliodas and Hawk watches on while Altria sighs in disappointment of the sad turn of events.
"Sorry! I'm really sorry!", Elizabeth frantically apologized repeatedly to which the curly-haired man shrugged it off and accepted her apology.
Elizabeth then served the meal to the wrong customer but when the right one called out to her, the princess tripped and accidentally threw the Boar Hat's meat piece special on the man's face. The silver haired girl could only feel guilty for screwing up and looking at herself in self-pity.
While Meliodas still watches on like he was enjoying the show written all over his face, Hawk, deciding to clean up the mess Elizabeth caused, commented, "Well, it looks like we'll have plenty of leftovers."
"I'll get the mop.", Altria added, intending to help out as well but Hawk wasn't pleased at first but she assured to the talking pig that she'll only mop the spilled ale on the floor, leaving him the leftovers to eat them all, convincing Hawk before they started the clean-up.
Standing out feeling depressed, Elizabeth stood next to the board containing the wanted posters of the Seven Deadly Sins, lamenting on her bad performance in her first time as a waitress of the Boar Hat.
"Lady, you've never helped out at home have you?", Mead guessed after witnessing Elizabeth's little pathetic performance.
Elizabeth was taken aback of what Mead just said, losing her depression as a result as he gave a wink at the third princess, "I can tell just by looking. You've never done a chore in your life. Even Altria here can do it with one arm!", pointing to the blond woman who started mopping the floor off the ale spills Elizabeth has caused with her left arm with Hawk carrying the bucket for the mop while eating all the spilled food on the floor.
"Stop it Mead!. Acting all high and mighty.", Mead's adoptive aunt scolded him for picking on Elizabeth. "You need to reflect on your actions more. If you get too cocky, we'll throw you into the Forest of the White Dreams.", she added in the scolding.
"Not that!", Mead exclaimed in fear of his adoptive aunt's scolding words.
Curious after overhearing Mead's adoptive aunt's words, Elizabeth asks, "Forest of White Dreams?"
"A forest where even the Holy Knights' avoid!", Mead explained before turning back to his adoptive aunt once more. "Auntie, I'll be a good boy! Please forgive me!" as he begged for forgiveness to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman looked to Elizabeth and said to Elizabeth, "This kid is just..."
"I promise!", Mead insisted while Elizabeth sported a small smile on her face.
"Don't even try to fool this auntie. I'm keeping a close eye on you!", Mead's adoptive aunt still persisted, knowing all too well of Mead's antics as she was the one who raised in the past.
Elizabeth soon frowned after a small smile looks out to the window of the Boar Hat, feeling depressed again.
Approximately 7 miles southeast of Bernia Village, Fort Solgales
At Fort Solgales located southeast of Bernia Village, the captain of the fort's garrison stood and nervously reported with a fear in his tone to the Holy Knight before him in his office, "E-earlier...We received a report from the soldiers stationed at Bernia Village. A-an unidentified young woman, a cripple, has...pulled out your sword, Lord Gilthunder!"
The pink-haired Holy Knight, responsible for placing his lightning-infused sword on Bernia's underground water source after being pissed off by the bug on his drink placed by Mead in his inspection of the village, named Gilthunder silently listened to the report from his subordinate and got out of his seat, walking out of his office with the captain following him who then spoke again, "I'm sure, it's by chance that the woman-..."
But Gilthunder interrupted him, not believing his subordinate's opinions as he coldly retorted, "Are you suggesting that a Holy Knight's sword was pulled from the ground by 'chance'?" Hmm...it would seem that the woman from the report in the Kaynes Village incident really is something... She did pull out my sword just as easily in Bernia...Impressive for a cripple. I meant no offense. But just to be sure if Meliodas was there in Bernia…time to play a little catch.
"N-no sir, but...", the fort's garrison captain tried to defend himself, fearing for his life that the Holy Knight may punish if he said something displeasing in a one slip of a tongue to Lord Gilthunder at any time.
"Give me the direction and distance to Bernia. Make sure it's accurate.", Gilthunder demanded the coordinates to the village, interrupting his subordinate's pathetic excuse of the report.
"Yes sir! From this fort, it is four o'clock to the southeast, 7.3 miles away.", the captain complied and calculated the coordinates towards Bernia Village to the pinkette Holy Knight.
Turning to the lone guard on standby, Gilthunder asked. "The spear of yours. Can I borrow it?"
The guard hastily obeyed and handed over his weapon to the Holy Knight who then positions himself to launch the spear towards Bernia Village as he closed his eyes, then lightning began to form around the spear and later glowed with great power cackling with lightning all around it that awed all of the men gathered around behind Gilthunder including the fort's captain witnessing it. Having finished charging up the lightning-empowered spear, Gilthunder gave a mighty throw from Fort Solgales and the projectile headed towards Bernia Village as fast as a supersonic missile.
Inside the Boar Hat
While Meliodas was cleaning an empty ale mug, he sensed something as if it was heading this way to Bernia. At the other side in the Boar Hat, Altria suddenly sneezed all of a sudden while getting the empty ale mugs for a refill after mopping on the floor with her left arm to clear the spilled ale caused by the third princess of Liones earlier with help of Hawk carrying the bucket for the mop due to her crippled right arm in front of the Bernia townsmen at their feast who excused her for a little sneeze, slightly embarrassing the blond woman.
Why did I sneeze all of a sudden at a time like this?..Did someone talk about me?, Altria wondered in her thought, unaware of Gilthunder's remark about her pulling out his sword from the ground for a cripple earlier at Fort Solgales before continuing her work in the Boar Hat.
On the other hand, Hawk, after helping Altria with the mopping, approached Meliodas and commented, "Is this gonna work out? She's a mess out there." The talking pig referred to Elizabeth's very bad performance as a waitress of the Boar Hat and the third princess had to get out of the bar outside in the cold but refreshing night to wallow in self-pity.
"Aren't you gonna console her or anything?", the talking pig asked as he put down the bucket.
Finishing cleaning the empty ale mug, Meliodas could only reply to Hawk. "Going out for a pee."
"Man, what an unreliable owner. This bar is really working on my pork shoulders. Pugo! Pugo!", Hawk grumbled of Meliodas' carefree nature while thinking that the bar solely relied on him, probably referring to his mother who literally carried the Boar Hat on her shoulders.
"Ahem...you forgot about me, Hawk. I work here too as well.", Altria added in, feeling a bit insulted that she works hard too as she already refilled the ale mugs and served it to the customers with her one good arm. Her comment left the talking pig laugh nervously for his mistake.
After helping and serving dishes and drinks around with Hawk's help, Altria looks out in the window and sees Meliodas comforting Elizabeth, overhearing their conversation about the latter lamenting that she's useless unable to do anything to help the people from suffering or stop the Holy Knights but then the blond woman notices the Dragon's Sin of Wrath trying to find a good position to stand on while assuring the princess that if she hadn't the determination to protect the people and to find the Boar Hat while she couldn't even walk, none of this would have happened in the first place.
At least Meliodas was right about Elizabeth, she's not useless only naive and innocent but has the courage and will to protect the people of the kingdom and Britannia, I'd admit. If she hadn't escaped from the Holy Knights and ran into the Boar Hat, meeting Meliodas, me and Hawk too, then I wouldn't be here by now...Strange why is Meliodas positioning himself facing towards the mountains?... Was he expecting something, or someone coming this way to Bernia?...., Altria said in her thoughts.
Then Altria sensed an object imbued with magical power incoming from the mountains northeast and noticed that it was a spear imbued with lightning and was about to destroy Bernia Village if it hits the ground in the town square had not Meliodas stood in its line of fire and grabbed the spear in his left but was pushed back in a large distance that made Elizabeth called out to him "Lord Meliodas!", causing the sleeve to disintegrate that revealed his dragon symbol tattoo and destroyed several more houses along the way before sending right back to where it was thrown from.
At Fort Solgales
As he was sitting in deep though while through his paperwork in his office, Gilthunder sensed something heading towards the fortress and the lightning-powered magical spear he threw intended for Bernia Village was caught and sent thrown back by Meliodas destroyed Fort Solgales in one strike! The impact of the spear caused the fort to collapse and the occupants inside of were either injured by the falling debris or lucky that they escaped alive.
The captain of the fort had survived the destruction of Fort Solgales as well as he called out to his superior, worrying of his safety. "Lord Gilthunder! Are you alright?! Lord Gil-..." But the pinkette Holy Knight was revealed to be fine, just simply sitting on his chair with his head tilted to the left almost just in the nick of time when the spear pierced its way through his seat, but suffered a little bloodied scratch on his cheek by the tip of the projectile as he said, "You were alive after all...The Seven Deadly Sins'...Meliodas!
This satisfied the pink-haired Holy Knight, having confirmed the presence of the Dragon's Sin of Wrath in Bernia Village.
In the town square of Bernia Village
Heading to Meliodas' location after witnessing him throwing the lightning-imbued spear back to the northeast, Elizabeth, Hawk and Altria, who both got out of the Boar Hat after seeing Meliodas catching the spear and pushed back at a great distance rushed towards the town square, passing by the destroyed or damaged houses and the townspeople who just woke up and saw the commotion that has happened.
"Lord Meliodas!", Elizabeth called to him, feeling concerned of him. "Lord Meliodas! Just now, was that the same Holy Knight who attacked the village?", she asked the Dragon's Sin of Wrath.
Meliodas, having recovered from the recoil, got up and clenched his bloodied left hand repeatedly from the spear he caught intended towards Bernia Village and threw it back to the same direction where it came from, unaware that he destroyed Fort Solgales.
"Probably", he replied in response. "I think it'd be best for everyone if we left this village", as the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins suggested.
"But what if they attack the village again?", the princess asked again, feeling worried for the people of Bernia Village.
"It'll be much more dangerous if we stay here.", Meliodas rationalized.
"Meliodas is right. If we stay here in Bernia, we might put these people's lives at risk should we encounter some Holy Knights sent here. It'd be better off if we leave now.", Altria supporting Meliodas' opinions and using her instincts predicting the consequences if they either leave or stay in the village or not.
"Do we even have a place to hide?..", Hawk doubted.
"Come to think of it...", Elizabeth wondered, earning the attention of Meliodas, Hawk and Altria's attention.
"What's up?", the Dragon's Sin of Wrath asked.
"Earlier, Mead said that the Forest of White Dreams is a place where we should never go. Even the Holy Knights refuse to enter.", the silver haired princess explained and suggested to her friends.
"That's the perfect place then!", Hawk agreed to Elizabeth's suggestion. Altria nodded in agreement with the talking pig.
"Guess it's decided then. However, we're not going there to hide. We're going to do what we set out to do.", Meliodas made his declaration while locking his fists together to make a decision firsthand.
"What are you talking about?", Hawk wondered.
"What we must do...", Elizabeth wondered also.
"Yup. There's probably another one there.", the Dragon's Sin of Wrath told them.
Deducing what Meliodas meant, "You mean to say one of your comrades is in the Forest of White Dreams, right Meliodas?" Altria Pendragon guessed right when Meliodas nodded yes and boldly said, "Let's go! To search for our friends!"
In the first light of the morning, Hawk's Mother uprooted herself as she raised the Boar Hat and started heading towards the Forest of White Dreams with the Boar Hat crew together as the people of Bernia Village waved goodbye to their departure, hoping to see them again in some other time later in the future as they continue their search for the six of the Seven Deadly Sins throughout the kingdom of Liones...
In the Forest of White Dreams
Within the deepest parts of the huge forest completely covered by the fog near Bernia Village called the Forest of the White Dreams, there lays a giant woman with a well-developed and curvaceousness body and a childlike face who has brown hair braided in twin-tails, wearing a a short-sleeved one piece orange suit, and boots. That includes the backpack she wears at her back. On her hands are finger-less gauntlets of a blueish leathery material covered in shiny steel studs and in her left thigh, a symbol of the serpent was spotted.
And the giantess with the serpent's symbol was sleeping on the ground in a curled up position undisturbed...
(plays 7-Seven by FLOW x GRANDRODEO at the end of the chapter)
Author's Note: Well there you have it folks! Altria pulled out Gilthunder's sword and keeps it as her own to make it as compensation for the loss of Excalibur and a conjunction to her Power similar to Invisible Air and Excalibur's wind and light power. I told you I would try make her a badass cripple for a few chapters and pulled it off until she had her right arm fixed up later at Dalmary Town where *cough* Elizabeth *cough, cough* had healed her, *cough* Meliodas, and *cough, cough* Dr. Dana *cough* unknowingly.
That scene with Mead reconciling with the people of Bernia Village made me cry a lot! :') All the feels when I saw that scene in the manga and later the anime! XD Those two soldiers, the tall and the fat ones stationed in Bernia Village, I'm so pissed off that them! Out of all the villains in Nanatsu no Taizai who were all cool and lovable, I hate them the most and whenever I look at them, I even wished that I could in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai to find them and kill them! Seeing how they will like it if they got the taste of their own medicine! *pissed off*
Next chapter of "Fate Sins" will be about Altria Pendragon and the Boar Hat crew travelling to the Forest of White Dreams where they encounter Diane, the Serpent's Sin of Envy and later Holy Knight Gilthunder. I'd plan that he give Altria the sheath of his old sword he stuck on the ground which the King of Knights pulled it out and kept it for herself as a form of hidden chivalry. And oh boy Altria will so surprised of Diane's one-sided love towards Meliodas and the giantess' destructiveness when the Serpent's Sin of Envy angrily struck him in jealous streak, befitting her title, believing that he has cheated on her with Elizabeth and Altria too, unwittingly. Hahaha lol :D And in another chapter after this will I had Altria go against some of the Weird Fangs and had a shocked reaction to Meliodas and Ban's (overly-destructive) manly reunion inside Baste Dungeon! Hahahaha, that scene never gets old!
I have considered Kinunatz that Altria will have her own version of Lancelot's Knight of Honor with Prana Burst and Reinforcement something Kinunatz call it "Light Ferry" from an old manga/anime he mentioned in his advise called "Omamori Himari". I might check it out later when I had the chance to do so if there's time.
As for Altria Pendragon's Power Level measured by Balor's Power Eye (as shown from Chapter 106 of Nanatsu no Taizai currently worn by Hawk courtesy by Merlin, the Boar's Sin of Gluttony) probably in the future chapters of "Fate Sins" later on courtesy by Kinunatz since I'm not much of a math expert only the basics of it as:
Strength - around 300 to 400
Power - Around 1000 to 1250
Spirit - Around 1000 to 1500
Overall Power Level - Around 2300 to 3150
Base - 3050
With Reinforcement Only - 3350
With Prana Burst Only - 3650
With Prana Burst and Reinforcement - 4550
Strength - 300
-Reinforcemented Strength - 600 (Double)
-Prana Burst Strength - 900 (if no Reinforcement) (Triple)
-Prana Burst Strength - 1800 (if Reinforcement is used) (Triple)
Power - 1250
Spirit - 1500
OMG! That would make her in equal or greater terms of Power with Meliodas or any of the Seven Deadly Sins! Altria can even overpower the likes of the strongest and formidable Holy Knights in battle like Hendriksen, Helbram or Dreyfus! Fitting for the King of Knights indeed! Fwah! Fwah!
Disclaimer: All credits on calculating Altria's Power Level goes to Kinunatz! ;)
Enjoy and don't forget to review, so I can make the story much better. Thank you! :)
