Hey everybody! I just finished a week of back to back exams so this chapter was a bit of spur of the moment happiness.

Thank you Silver-IronScript for the wonderful comment as always! It's okay if you didn't comment last chapter, as long as you're still enjoying the story I'm happy! There are some twists in this chapter that I think you may or may not be shocked by. I'm such a little devil :)

Thank you Gray Winter1 for the comment on chapter 2! I'm glad you got the Naruto reference.

Thank you Shadowing20 for favoriting!

Also, I am thinking about adding a cover to this story. Let me know if you have any ideas for the cover because I would love to hear them!

On with the story!

continuing where we left off

The figure walked closer to the Meliodas, Diane, Elizabeth, and Hazel, stepping into the light. His wavy, chin-length purple hair was halfway in his face and his startling yellow eye glared at the sins with pure hatred. It was Engres. He had finished his battle with Guila, and now he was coming to face the sins. "It's an honor to be the one who will kill you." He said. Hazel was sweating. "D-did he just say he was going to kill us?" she faltered. Elizabeth turned to Meliodas. "I'm sensing an unnatural amount of hate," she whispered. Engres didn't notice any of their side remarks. He just kept talking. "I will purge Britannia of as many of you people as possible. It's safe to say you'll be dead before the day is out! You don't need to fret though. Your lives are worth less than the dirt you stand on!" "Now wait just a second!" Hazel shouted, "I are you say that again! Someone, let him have it!" "Hazel, knock it off, get back." Meliodas told her in a deep, emotionless tone. "What? Why?" the princess questioned. Engres drew a flammard (a kind of sword) and charged. "That's why!" the dragon sin yelled, "Get out of here!" "R-right!" Hazel took off. "I'll go with her!" Elizabeth said, "Meliodas, Diane, stay safe, okay?" With that, Elizabeth took off after Hazel.

Engres smirked, watching Elizabeth leave. "Sorry, goddess," he muttered, "but they won't be alive when you come back."

with Elizabeth and Hazel

Elizabeth was flying after Hazel. The silverette was scanning her surroundings, making sure there was no danger. "Elizabeth, do you think that was a holy knight?" Hazel asked. "Maybe, yes, it is likely..." Elizabeth replied. She hated saying those words out loud. It was like her words were stacking the odds against Meliodas and Diane. After a few minutes of running, the two girls slowed down. A large noise sounded in the direction which they had come. Quickly causing them to accelerate again. "They better live or else I'll kill 'em." Hazel said, more to herself than Elizabeth. Elizabeth gasped, "Don't say things like that!"

back with Meliodas, Diane, and Engres

"Now that they're gone," Engres said, "we can get serious." Diane had a determined look on her face. "You better be worth our time." she replied. "Quite frankly," Engres retorted, "I think you'll be the ones to disappoint me." Diane clasped her hands together. "Sand Whirl!" she shouted. Engres was quickly went under, but a few seconds later he burst back above the surface. "You got me for a second there." he said. The brown leather eye-patch covering his left eye fell off, revealing a second startling-yellow eye. However, this eye had a red scar running across it. Engres did not seem to notice this. He charged at Diane lightning-fast. The giantess barely had time to pull a rock from the ground to use as a shield. It was in vain, however because Engres used his sword to slice right through it. He continued forward and slashed his flammard, but the Serpent sin blocked him with Gideon.

Meliodas charged in from behind and tried to land a kick, but Engres noticed him at the last second and ducked. The human whipped himself around to squarely face the dragon sin. The two locked swords and strained against the other's strength. After a few seconds, Engres stepped back, losing more ground. Meliodas advanced, throwing a punch. Engres blocked, then swung his sword, the metal clanging against his opponent's sword. "Come on now." Engres taunted. "Try harder, both of you."

with King, Silva, and Ban

"Come on!" Silva shouted to the boys behind her. "We're almost there!" Hearing this, Ban's eyes narrowed and he sped up. King sped up as well. "Hold on Elaine!" the sloth sin thought.

Thank you so much for reading and have a great rest of your day! (or night)
