It was now dusk and Ase was still carrying Snotlout and Shanna on her back as they try to get away from the two Commandments.

"Dammit," she groaned with every step she took. "I can't stop now, I won't run out of steam in a place like this. I'll protect you, I swear, I'll keep you safe no matter—" She then tripped and fell to the ground, she then looked up at Shanna, who was in worse shape out of them all. "Sorry, are you okay?"

"Please forgive me," she said with tears in her eyes. "I've done some truly terrible things to you yet you still…"

"This isn't the time for that all right," said Ase. Suddenly the entire ground shook violently. "What was that?"

She then looked up and saw boulders flying from the sky, seen and gave her an extra burst of energy and she began running as quickly as she could.

"Oh crap!" Ase screamed as the boulder bounced towards her.

Ase saw the boulder heading straight towards her, but she quickly came to a stop and it passed directly over them and struck the ground a few feet away from them. It in take long for Ase to figure out where the boulder came from she had a very good idea.

"Those damn Demon monsters, they're just toying with us," she growled.

Both Galand and Melascula were a few miles away on a mountainside. Galand had just struck a boulder with his spear as if he was playing a game of golf.

"How did I do? Did I hit them?" Galand asked.

"What a shame, you missed," said Melascula as she tossed down another boulder towards him.

"Damn, I'll try a curveball this time," he said as he got ready to pitch.

He then struck the boulder with his spear and sent it flying across the sky.

"Nice shot," said Melascula.

Ase was still carrying the Snotluot and Shanna on her back through the forest when she saw another boulder speeding towards them.

"Another one!" she cried.

There was no time her to get out of the way this time, but thankfully it just landed a few feet in front of her.

"That was close," she said with relief. However, her relief suddenly vanished when the ball came spinning back down towards her. "It's got backspin!"

It's speeded towards her and this time there was no way she could get out of the way. Instead she tossed Snotlout and Shanna with all her strength to get them to safety and the boulder slammed right into her.

"Ase!" said Snotlout weakly as he saw the entire thing.

"Never underestimate, an apprentice Dragon Knight," said Ase as the boulder shattered.

At the last possible moment she had managed to draw her sword and plunged it into the boulder shattering it. Although she did take a very heavy impact from the blow and blood was pouring down her forehead. She could barely remain conscious, but she knew that if she collapsed now they would dead.

"Are you all right?" Snotlout asked. Snotlout try to get up, but his body was still recovering from the side effect of Hunter Fest. "Dammit."

Ase walked towards them, slightly in a daze, and looked at them. "All right, let's go."

She then placed them back on her back and started to carry them once more. However, she was utterly exhausted and it was a miracle that she hadn't collapsed with exhaustion already.

"That's enough," said Snotlout. "I'm the one those guys are after, hurry and run."

"Sure, I'll do that, but I'm taking you both with me," she said.

"Stop this, leave me," said Shanna.

"Quit saying stuff like that, it does me no good. I mean if the two of you give up that easily, then how will I ever have the chance to give up myself?"

The two of them just stared at her dumbfounded.

"Thank you so much," Shanna cried.

Then another boulder came completely out of nowhere and landed behind them, they avoided getting squashed by the impact sent a shockwave sending them forwards. Unfortunately, it sent them so far that they went straight over a cliff.

"Imperial Wrath of Zephyr!" Shanna cried out stretching her hand.

Immediately a gust of wind appear directly below them cushioning their fall. Ase was completely exhausted after that, but then she noticed the cave close my.

"Let's hide in there," she said.

She grabbed the two of them and then carried them inside the cave. However, once they were deep enough inside she noticed that there were lanterns lit inside of it, clearly they weren't the first that entered this cave.

"What is this? A mine," Ase pondered.

Once they reached the end of the tunnel, Ase found something completely bizarre inside of it. In front of them was a wooden door and there was a sign outside saying 'open' and above that there was paint that spelt the word, 'Sweet Gluttony'.

"How strange," she frowned.

However, knowing that they had very little option she opened the door and found herself in a tavern. Unsurprisingly there was no one inside having a drink, no one apart from someone she assumed to be the bartender. He was a very lean young man about 25 years old with jet black hair which was tied in a ponytail.

The tavern itself was filled completely with rocks which were being used as both the tables and the chairs. Even the bar was made of rock and it was filled to the brim of different kinds of alcohol and mounted on the wall was a large golden greatsword which had an image of the sun engraved on the blade.

"Greetings, I bid you welcome to my humble abode," said the bartender.

"Is this a tavern? Inside a cave?" said Ase as she hobbled inside.

The bartender merely shrugged. "That's right, but as you can imagine it's usually deserted."

"We didn't come here for a drink, these two are wounded could you shelters us here for a—" Ase then collapsed from exhaustion, her strength had finally given out.

"Are you all right?" said the bartender rushing towards them. "Those are some serious injuries."

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine," Ase assured. "Just help them."

The bartender then looked at Snotlout and Shanna and his eyes widened the moment they fell upon Snotlout.

"He looks familiar to me, that smug look on his face," he said scratching his chin. His eyes widened. "Wait, could it be?"

Snotlout's eyes widened and he stared at the bartender. "Wait… I know you."

"He's the Fox Sin of the Seven Deadly Sins, his name is Snotlout," Ase explained as she lifted herself up.

"Wait a second, doesn't that make you a Dragon Knight of Berk who captured him?" the bartender stared. "So, you've come to arrest me next?"

Ase gave him a confused look as she placed Snotlout and Shanna back on her back. "Do you have a guilty conscience or something? The Sins have been officially cleared of all suspicion."

The bartender looked up. "So you're saying that the Seven Deadly Sins are no longer in need to stay in hiding?"

"Yeah, in fact these days their been called heroes."

"What a relief," the bartender sighed. He then approached Snotlout. "Snotlout, you have to tell me what happened? I'm afraid I haven't received much news in the capital."

"It's a long story," said Snotlout looking at him. "The short of it is that Hiccup has brought all the Sins back together, I only parted ways with them because of some personal reasons."

"Good."

"I see that you've grown a ponytail now since I last saw you."

The bartender smiled. "I believe that it makes me look dashing."

Ase looked at the two of them confused. "Wait, so you two have met before?" She then shook her head and looked at the bartender. "Anyway, we're being changed and we need a place to hide."

Bartender stared at them. "You're serious? Who exactly is chasing you?"

"Look there's no time to explain right now. Please, you've got to help us."

"Very well," the bartender immediately made his way to a large door that led to the pantry. "Here, you can hide the pantry."

"We really owe you one," said Ase as the entered inside.

The moment they were inside the bartender closed the door behind them and a few seconds later the entire place shock. He turned around's eyes widened, because the mountain face had been completely cut in half by Galand and Melascula, who were now standing directly in front of him.

"We found you," said Galand.

"Oh boy," said the bartender stunned.

"Hold on," said Melascula noticing that there was no sign of their prey.

"What? They're not here," Galand stared.

"Rather strange, I'm certain that this was their location."

Galand sniffed the air and then leaned over towards the bar where the bartender stood. "Hmm, something around here smells delicious."

Ase could hear everything going on behind them and she was afraid that the bartender would have his soul devoured. However, Galand grabbed a barrel of alcohol and immediately drank it down.

"That's good!" he cried. "Who would ever thought that booze would come so far after 3000 years time?"

Melascula folded her arms. "Come on, Galand, our goal is to conquer the continent remember?"

Galand merely emptied a bottle into a wooden tankard. "Oh, don't be such a stiff," he said as he presented the tankard to her. "Here."

Against her better judgement, Melascula took a sip, and just like Galand was overcome by the taste.

"Yummy!" she cried as she began to refill the tankard. "My goodness, who would have thought that booze would come so far in a 3000 years time."

"That's exactly what I just said," said Galand.

"I think that I like this one the best," said Melascula as she grabbed a glass with her dark tendrils.

"That would be Bernia Ale, which is known to be a bit richer and sweeter than most the other ones," the bartender explained. "It is quite popular among the ladies of this land for its apple-like aroma."

Melascula floated towards him. "My my, you certainly know your booze."

"I do run a tavern, it comes with the territory," the bartender pointed out.

"You pass!" she announced joyously as she floated in a daze. "When the crew and I wipe out humanity I'm going to spare you."

"What do you mean wipe out humanity?" the bartender stared.

"Soon this continent and all the little humans that live here will be conquered by the Demon Race," said Galand.

"T-the Demon Race?!" the bartender stared. "You mean the ones that were sealed away 3000 years ago."

Galand continued to drink out of the barrel. "And you're looking at two members of the Demon Races elite force… the Ten Commandments."

'Ten Commandments?' the bartender stared. 'I'm quite certain that I remember Hiccup mentioning them, but who knew they actually existed.'

Galand laughed and soon the two of them turned towards him.

"And as for that little punk that destroyed our honour and our hearts, he is the first on the list to die," Galand announced as the two of them looked at him with devious looks.

"Followed by that fairy and human girl that rudely interrupted my meal," Melascula added.

"Now give it up, barkeep. We know those troublemakers are hiding on the other side of that door. However, all of them seem to be on the brink of death right now right for the killing, in any rate after guzzling all this delicious booze I'm in a very good mood."

Ase grimaced as she listened at the other side, the bartender stood no chance against those two. Plus there was the fact that they were willing to spare his life, but that would only go so far if he didn't handed them over.

"So then it's Galand game time!" Galand announced.

That confused Ase to no end.

Galand then high-fived Melascula who formed a giant hand with her dark tendrils.

"Can you run that by me once more?" the bartender asked.

"Oh, it's a very special game. If you win I'll let you and those three hiding back there off the hook."

The bartender looked at him suspiciously. "You would willingly do that?"

"I'm Galand of Truth so a promise as a promise," said Galand tapping his chest as a mark of honour.

The bartender rubbed his chin. "Certainly decent of you, but what are the rules of this game?"

"The rules are quite simple, it's a one-on-one fight to the death. After determine who goes first, we take turns dealing one strike apiece. Whoever dies first loses."

That was not the kind of game the bartender had in mind and understandably he was a bit frightened.

"Today is your lucky day," said Galand as he leaned in towards the bartender. "I'll let you make the first move."

"Thanks, but what if I decline?" the bartender asked trying to keep his composure.

"Then I'll kill you all immediately."

The bartender bit his lip, so he could either die instantly or take part in this game in order to earn a few extra seconds of life.

"So decide, are you going to play or die?" Galand asked with a smile.

"I guess the only way I could possibly stay alive just a little longer is by taking part in your game," said the bartender.

"Good for you!" Galand smiled patting him on the back. "Just one thing, once you swore to play this game you're forbidding to back out or to run away. Break that vow and you will be turned to stone by the curse of the Commandment of Truth. Needless to say, the same applies to me."

"Galand, he isn't listening," said Melascula as she poured out some more drink.

She was right, Galand's gentle tap on the shoulder had crashed him right through the bar and he was now unconscious.

"Huh, I thought that I just tapped him lightly on the shoulder."

Unable to do anything else all they could do was wait until the bartender regained consciousness. In the meantime they helped themselves to his content of alcohol, but the bartender still hadn't woken up by the time it was morning.

"Half the day has gone by already," said Melascula who was now completely plastered. "He's not even close to waking up. Maybe you killed him." She then noticed that the temperature had increased rapidly over the past few hours alone. "It's really gotten kind of hot out here, don't you think?"

Even inside the pantry Snotlout and the others could feel the heat.

"It's miserable," Ase groaned.

Snotlout new instantly where this heat was coming from. "Man it's hot. Is it morning already?"

Galand's eyes then turned to the greatsword mounted on the wall. "Hmm, what an enchanting gorgeous looking greatsword you have here."

He then attempted to wield it, but it was far too heavy for him and soon the blade plunged itself into the ground.

"It's heavy," said Galand, taken completely by surprise by its weight. "Who the hell made this thing, the design of it is totally flawed. No decent human would ever be able to let it, is it supposed to be some kind of dagger for a giant."

"It's not flawed, it is a human weapon," said a voice.

Suddenly the greatsword disappeared from Galand's hands and he looked up to see the bartender standing before him. However, his appearance had changed drastically, he had gained some extra muscle and for the way that is shirt was being torn apart he was still growing.

"Sacred Treasure Rhitta," he continued. "A greatsword adored by the sun, bearing the name of a maiden. A Demon that roams the dark has no chance of wielding it. The two of you never even noticed that I was still conscious, I was merely buying time until the dawn came. You really should never have come to this tavern, because the two of you are about to lose your lives."

Melascula laughed. "I guess he really did pull the wool over our eyes, but is he truly think that only because the sun has risen that he stands a chance against us?"

Galand looked at him curiously. "Are you really the same barkeep, you look completely different than you did before? Hey, you're not a human are you?"

"Oh, I am indeed human, but I'm the most powerful human you're ever see," he said as his shirt was ripped to pieces revealing a crimson lion mark on his back. "I am one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Sin of Gluttony and my name is Lion Sin Eret."

"One of the Seven Deadly Sins, huh?" said Melascula looking intrigued.

Galand looked at him. "I have to admit, I'm quite surprised to find another one of these Sins here. However, your compatriots have failed to defeat asked what makes you think you can stand a chance?"

Galand then laughed and Eret joined in, but he immediately swung his sword slicing right through Galand with a single blow.

"Because I gorge myself on power," he answered.

Melascula immediately snapped out of her daze upon seen the share power he possessed. With one single swing he managed to slice right through Galand's body and arms.

"One strike, that's all it took," she said as she sat up. 'A human like this didn't exist 3000 years ago.' Eret merely looked at her with a small smile, but she regained her composure. "Don't pat yourself on the back just yet, this game is far from over."

Galand then began to use his dark power in order to reattach his body parts. "We Demon's rank above all others." He then faced Eret with beer in hand. "You're strong, but it will take a lot more than that to kill us."

"Of course I am aware of that," said Eret calmly. "Good thing too, because if it was that easy it will be as exciting for me."

"And I thought Galand was arrogant, you are nothing more than an idiotic human who doesn't know his place," said Melascula.

"I'm going to make you regret that you didn't kill me," said Galand as the entire room shock violently. "Not killing me with that blow will be your last mistake!"

Melascula was actually a bit startled. "You're actually using your magical power?"

"You had better step back, Melascula," said Galand.

Snotlout could feel the ground shaking from inside the pantry. "What is that demon up to?"

Galand's chest then immediately began to glow. "Critical Over!" His entire body then immediately began to glow in a bright red light. "I've been saving this magic for a rematch with that bastard Hiccup, but every instinct in my body is telling me that I must eliminate you right here and now!"

Galand's body then began to transform becoming far more muscular, the wound on his face was healed completely and spikes began to form around his body.

"Critical Over, is a power that increases Galand's strength to its limit," said Melascula as she was using her dark tendrils to shield her from the watch out for the debris been sent from the force of Galand's magic. "A simple but effective ability without equal. Galand's current power level is 40,000."

Galand laughed at Eret. "Sorry barkeep, but I can't hold back!"

He then raised his spear and then struck Eret with all his might, it was so powerful that it ripped apart what was left of the mountain.

"Dammit, stay close!" Snotlout yelled as the pantry was blown to pieces and he shielded both Shanna and Ase.

Melasculahad created a shield in order to protect herself from the debris that was being launched into the air by the attack. The attack continued and sliced through to mountaintops and echoed across the forest.

The Black Dragon was still rolling down the road as those inside were still on the hunt for Eret.

Ragnar then suddenly appeared. "Good news, Hiccup. Seems I've just pinpointed his location."

Hiccup looked up. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, his current power level is 50,000… 55… hold on now it's 60. It just keeps rising."

Hiccup nodded. "No doubt about it that's Eret."

Eret miraculously managed to survive the attack with only a deep cut on his shoulder. In fact it looked as if he had gained some extra muscle in the past few minutes alone which enabled him to block Galand's attack without moving.

Eret sighed looking slightly disappointed. "Seriously, that was the absolute best you could do?"

Galand just stood there shaking as he tried to move his spear, but it wouldn't budge an inch. "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!"

Melascula could see the danger. "Galand, you need to withdraw."

"I can't," he said as he pulled his spear back. "A promise is a promise!" He then mustered what little courage he had and based Eret. "Come on, let's keep this up to the end!"

"Fine then… it's my turn, right?" said Eret as he grasped his sword with both hands.

The moment he raised his sword what appeared to be a small sun engulfed the blade and to Galand, Eret was now the size of a giant ready to bring his wraith down upon him. It was enough to scare him to the bone and in that moment he lost the battle and he immediately ran away.

"What a pity," said Eret looking disappointed. "I wanted to show him my most powerful self."

Melascula closed her eyes and looked away. "Galand."

Galand had only managed to run a few feet before his Commandment turned into stone. By running away he had broken his Commandment and therefore lied and immediately turned to stone.

"It's game over," Eret smiled. "Your power is great, but sadly you can be affected buy your own commandment as well. The moment he violated his vow, it was an immediate game over for him. It would seem that even a Demon can be scared of death, though the roles were reversed I would probably run away from myself as well."

He then turned his attention upon Melascula. "Now then as a special favour I am going to give you a choice. Escape or death, you should decide when I'm still feeling charitable."

Melascula smiled at him. "I thank you… for getting rid of that loudmouth teaser I owe you a debt of gratitude. To repay… I'm going to kill you right here and now."

Snotlout eyes widened, knowing what she was about to do. "Careful Eret that one has some powerful abilities, strength alone won't be enough to—"

Too late, Melascula had already consumed Eret in her darkness. "Cocoon of Darkness!"

Eret turned on her. "This is what I get for being charitable…"

Suddenly his eyes widened as his sole immediately launched out of his mouth. Melascula had managed to get behind him and had forced his soul from his body just like she did with Snotlout.

"Your nothing more than a gluttonous fool, who things to highly of his strength," she said curtly. She then approached his soul and launched her tongue and swallowed it whole. "Thank you for the meal."

However, her smile vanished when she suddenly felt a massive surge of pain from her stomach. It was like entire body was on fire and something was burning right through her stomach. That something was none other than Eret's soul which had not been digestive yet and nor did it look as if it would ever be.

"H-hot," she said as she killed over in pain. "Fire."

Suddenly her entire body was set aflame and Eret's soul launched out of her body and smashed through her darkness before re-entering to its owners body.

"No," she said as she was being burnt away. "It's on a completely different level. What's happening? How could he wield this much force? What is this power of yours!"

"That would be Sunshine," Eret smiled. "Of my magical power increases by the second the moment the sun rises and unfortunately for you it is almost noon."

The pain was just too much for Melasculaand soon she toppled off what remained of the mountainside and fell into the deep ravine as a burning fire ball.

Ase couldn't believe her eyes. "I don't believe it, he defeated both of those monsters by himself?"

Eret then looked at Snotlout. "Snotlout, there are some things that I would like to ask you to do. Unfortunately, it is almost noon, we will resume this conversation after nightfall. Wait here until then, that's an order."

Snotlout nodded. "We're too exhausted to move anyway."

Ase just looked at Eret. "Hey!"

Eret then jumped into the air as high that he disappeared into the horizon.

Ase then approached Galand. "You bastard. This is for Sullivan!"

She then kicked Galand, but immediately regretted as his stone skin was extremely hard.

Snotlout just sat there with Shanna in his arms. "You're not in pain are you?"

"Not at all, in fact I couldn't be happier right now," said Shanna smiling.

"Same here."

"To be close to you, cradled in your arms like this, it's a dream come true. That's why that even if I were to die again I won't be scared."

Snotlout shook his head. "You say the silliest things."

Ase then approached the two of them. "Actually, Snotlout is right you know. You guys will figure it out, remember what that Demon woman said? That she revived the dead by amplifying all their regrets and rage or whatever. Even if you're not angry at me anymore you're still oozing with affection for Snotlout, aren't you? What I'm saying is, I think you're going to be fine."

Shanna smiled at her and tears formed in her eyes. "Ase… you're the best."

Ase couldn't help but smile back at her.

It was now late at night and Eret has finally returned and was now been formally introduced by Snotlout.

"Let me introduce you, this is Seven Deadly Sins Lion Sin of Gluttony, his name is Eret," said Snotlout.

"Sorry that I was unable to introduce myself the first time we met," said Eret apologetically as he kept his trousers up.

"It's true power only comes out when the sun is up, when it's down he is as weak as the average human," Snotlout explained.

"You don't have to tell them like that," Eret grumbled.

"I can't believe that we actually ran into the last of the Seven Deadly Sins," said Ase in bewilderment.

"Count yourself lucky that you did," said Eret.

"I heard stories that you were the most powerful of the Seven Deadly Sins, clearly they weren't exaggerated."

"It's a little more complex than that, my power unlike the other Sins is more time-based. I get stronger by the dawn, but is when it becomes task I get weaker. We should count ourselves lucky that it's the middle of summer."

"So, you said that you wanted me to do some kind of favour?" Snotlout asked curiously.

"Firstly I want to know what happened to Hiccup and the others."

"Like I told you before I parted ways with them since I left Berk, but considering that those Demons showed up it's likely that they're going to make a move."

"I see," Eret sighed.

"Is that all you wanted to ask of me?"

"No, while I am glad that the Sins are no longer wanted criminals and that I can safely join up with them, I have a quota to meet. You see I was supposed to deliver alcohol to a certain village the day after tomorrow and I could use the help transporting it."

Snotlout groaned. "What a giant pain in the ass. No way, forget it."

"The moment that this alcohol is delivered the sooner I can join forces with you guys against the Demons."

"Are you serious?" said Ase disbelief. "With Demons running amok you're more concerned about delivering booze."

"I am the sin of gluttony remember," Eret reminded.

"And this is the most powerful Dragon Knight of all," said Ase shaking her head.

Then suddenly Shanna noticed that Meatlug had appeared from out of nowhere.

"Meatlug?" Shanna blinked.

Then landing beside the hound was Fishlegs the he saw his sister, he stood there speechless as tears formed in her eyes.

"Brother!" Shanna cried.

"Shanna," said Fishlegs gobsmacked.

Meanwhile far to the north Heather had finally recovered from Dagur's punch. Dagur had taken her to a small barbarian camp where a barbarian and his children were playing music. To Heather's amazement Dagur was actually dancing to the music, it was also the first time that she realised that he now had a wooden leg.

"Wow, Dagur, that was amazing," Heather clapped.

"It's a dance passed down through the leaders of the Giant Race, our father taught it to me when we were younger. Though are you sure you should be up?"

"I'm fine, but that's a beautiful dance you're doing. I just wish that I had a chance to study that instead of fighting."

Dagur smiled at his sister. "Then you're no longer warrior. Heather, starting today become a dancer."

Heather just stared at him, out of all the words that come out of her brother's mouth those were at the very bottom of the list.
