Author's Note: Hello again it's me and I think I need to clear something up. First, Asia DOES NOT have the Commandment of Patience Meliodas has it and Asia now has powers of the Demon Clan but she isn't a commandment. So she has Hellblaze, control over darkness, and then-some but not a commandment. This isn't to everyone I just needed to clarify for those who didn't know
So she's a demon-Devil hybrid with Devil powers as her Devil piece is still in her and Demon powers because of the Demon King, so she doesn't have the Commandment of Patience just the powers of the Demon Clan.
Second, I've realized that the Vampire Clan from the Seven Deadly Sins is that they're kinda weak like if you go to the wiki and look at their power levels they stack up to at most Low to mid-class Devils, and at night when their power is doubled matching up to a mid-class devil possibly High-class devils so I'm going to make them slightly stronger than normal like they can walk around during the day and the more blood they take in the stronger they get stuff like that because they are kinda weak till the night with their power levels getting a boost in power.
Anyways, as I said in the last Chapter this is the Chapter where both Meliodas and Estarossa use a forbidden spell and as of now I already know what Estarossa's spell is so I'll figure out what Meliodas's spell is along the way so it may seem wrong that I don't already have a spell for him but eh, I've always done shit like this so to me it doesn't matter.
Right that the end for this and on with the Chapter
Chapter 12-The War Begins
Back in the Human World
After leaving the Demon Realm Estarossa put his girlfriend on an armchair as he then collapsed on the couch realizing a breath he didn't know he had.
"I'll admit, I was really scared for her life the moment she raised her voice at him." Estarossa mumbled as Derrieri laughed patting him on the back while Monspeet chastised her saying that she shouldn't be laughing at him.
"I think she's a badass! Not even Meliodas has talked to him before he just keeps to himself when he's pissed off or goes out and kill some people, hell he sometimes takes it out on us in the disguise of it being training." Derrrieri spoke recalling memories of Meliodas after speaking with his father sometimes and coming out very pissed off and it wasn't good for any of them when he decided to "train" them.
"Shut up will ya. Alright, ima head out and destroy something who wants to come with?" Estarossa asked getting up from the couch as he looked at Asia who was still unconscious as he ordered a Demon to watch over her as he nodded as Estarossa was heading towards the door but was also accompanied by Derrieri who said that she was bored.
Before they left however a Demon walked out of the portal that Melascula and Gowther kept open to the Demon Realm as he said that Meliodas and Zeldris should be returning after attending to some businesses they had in the Demon Realm as they all nodded. Estarossa and Derrieri nodded before walking out the door in looks of a fight while Melascula and Galand started drinking, Monspeet went to train himself as Grayroad followed him while Gowther left to gather more information about the world and their enemies.
In Kuoh Town
Estarossa and Derrieri were in Kuoh town taking the souls of Humans they came across and occasionally a Devil or Fallen Angel who tried to fight them only ending in their deaths.
"Man this is boring can't someone here be a challenge?" Derrieri said after slurping down another soul. She was bored as she expected this to have some sort of challenge but of course, there wasn't and Estarossa was the one to deal with her complaining.
"Look you didn't have to come with me but even if starting to feel bored. We could go back or cause some havoc in the Underworld?" He offered but before Derrieri could respond two people landed in front of them.
One was a Devil due to the bat-like wings they but they had six wings instead of two. He was very muscular having black hair and violet eyes. He had a black shirt with red linings having brown pants wearing black sneakers. This was Sairaorg Bael, Heir to the Bael Clan, cousin to Rias Gremory.
Next to him was Baraqiel the father of the deceased Akeno and he had a scowl on his face seeing Estarossa.
"Well maybe coming along was a good thing." Derrieri said cracking her knuckles eyeing down Sairaorg while Estarossa eyed down Baraqiel smirking as he remembered what Meliodas told him.
"Aren't you the father of that one girl Meliodas killed? The one with the lighting Magic?" He was riling him up and he could tell it was working by how he was clenching his fist in anger but his Commandment didn't take effect meaning that he didn't have hatred for some reason.
Well, to Estarossa it didn't matter because he could finally have a decent fight without his commandment getting in the way.
No words were said but Estarossa created a sword made from the darkness while his companion grinned before she dashed off from her spot punching Sairaorg in his stomach before punching him again sending him into a house that was thankfully empty as she gave chase.
Estarossa swung his sword down clashing with the sword made of light from the Fallen Angel creating a shockwave of air as any humans nearby ran away in fear of dying.
Jumping back they disappeared the moment they landed clashing in the air as light and dark spewing from their weapons. Baraqiel backed off as he then coated his sword in lighting and started attacking far faster than he was before but Estarossa was still keeping up as another explosion was heard but it wasn't from them.
Derrieri came out of a collapsing building chasing after Sairaorg who was grinning for some strange reason despite knowing that he was facing off against one of the people who destroyed his cousin's peerage. Landing on his feet he jumped back towards the demon having his fist back before punching at his opponent who met his punch with her own using her demonic arm as he matched her in strength...possibly exceeding her.
The two brawlers kept punching back and forth, but Derrieri seemed to be losing ground. She was slowly being pushed back as she was feeling his punches but her opponent was also feeling her own punches as well but was caught off guard when she swept his leg from underneath causing him to be tripped to his side as he was promptly punched in his stomach sending him through multiple houses and buildings until he collided with Baraqiel as they both were now embedded in the side of a school.
"You should keep your fights to yourself Derrieri. It's considered rude to interrupt someone else's fight you know." Estarossa said as Derrieri flew up to his side scoffing.
"The hell should I care!? Besides if I remember correctly and I do, didn't you interrupt my fights during the Holy War!?" She yelled at him as the Demon looked away whistling at nothing causing her to smirk but before either of them could get their argument underway they turned back to their opponents who were no longer inside of the school they were launched to but instead flying back towards them.
"Oi didn't you learn anything useful from the Forbidden section of the Libary during the 3,000 years we were sealed in the Demon Realm cause if so use one of them now." Derrieri said and while it may sound like she's concerned she really wasn't, in reality, moments before they started arguing Estarossa said that they were being called back to their hideout for a reason that Gowther wouldn't give them.
"Alright fine but you should start heading back, wouldn't want you dying on us now would we?" Estarossa said with a small grin but was hit on the head almost sending him to the ground as he rubbed the spot he had been hit and was about to yell at her but she was already gone causing him to sigh.
"I swear I'm gonna get her back..." He mumbled under his breath as he looked to his enemies before sighing once again realizing that they most likely weren't going to give up.
"Well, might as well wrap this up." He said to himself but was heard by Sairaorg and Baraqiel as they raised a brow at his words before he raised his finger into the air channeling darkness magic into his finger as the sky darkened and the gravity seemed heavier. Then, Estarossa started chanting his spell.
"Seeping crest of turbidity."
(Nijimidasu kondaku no monshō.)
"Arrogant vessel of lunacy!"
(Fusonnaru kyōki no utsuwa!)
"Boil forth and deny!"
(Wakiagari hiteishi!)
"Grow numb and flicker!"
(Shibire matataki!)
"Disrupt sleep!"
(Nemuri wo samatageru!)
"Crawling queen of iron!"
(Hakōsuru tetsu no ōjō!)
"Eternally self-destructing doll of mud!"
(Taezu jikaisuru doro no ningyō!)
"Unite!"
(Ketsugōseyo!)
"Repulse!"
(Hanpatsuseyo!)
"Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness!"
(Chi ni Michi onore no muryoku wo shire!)
"Hado Number 90...Kurohitsugi!" (Black Coffin) Estarossa finished as multiple boxes of black energy appear, each of them topped off with cross-shaped spears before they multiplied and ensure the both of them. Soon enough it disappeared revealing both men had multiple cuts on their bodies, Sairaorg, however, seemed in better shape than Baraqiel as he was unconscious bleeding.
Estarossa smirked knowing that he used his spell properly but he also felt very tired but he turned around and in a whirl of darkness, he was gone.
In the Demon Realm when Estarossa left
Meliodas and Zeldris had finally arrived where the Vampire Clan resides. Zeldris knew that Meliodas didn't want to be here, he didn't want to ask for their help but knew that it would be best to have more military power when it comes to having a war, especially when it's people of another world and they didn't know so much about it just the basic minimum.
"Alright Zeldris, let's find your girlfriend first and we'll go from there." Meliodas said as Zeldris blushed but said nothing but Meliodas was just confused by it. He saw no reason to be embarrassed to mention someone you love so was confused as to why his brothers acted like this, but he ignored deciding not to go down that path.
Zeldris leading the way to try and find Gelda and he was very nervous for a few reasons, one of them being that he wouldn't know how she would react to seeing Meliodas as they were dating in secret, the second was how when the Vampires would see him. Within the Demon Realm, just about everyone knew of Meliodas's defeat and some thought that they could try and kill him even after he had recovered.
None of those Demons were ever seen again.
That didn't stop people from trying and he knew that there are probably some Vampires who would love to get at him. He could only try and contain his anger should it happen. Aside from that, Meliodas continued to follow his brother to the spot that he and Gelda would meet up at in secret until they eventually arrived.
"Where is she Zeldris?" Meliodas asked as he was told to wait a few minutes and he did so without complaint and soon enough she arrived.
She resembles a human female with a fitting body, long blonde hair tied up with a blue ribbon, and a gold battle outfit. As a vampire, she possesses notable fangs that can be seen protruding slightly from her lips even when not speaking.
"Zeldris why did...you call...me here?" Her voice trailed off after seeing Meliodas. She was slightly afraid but seeing Zeldris walk up to her slightly calmed her down.
"Gelda I can understand why you're scared but let me explain." Zeldris calming her down as he took her hands and sat down as Meliodas patiently waited sitting crossed legged with his eyes closed looking as if he was meditating while Zeldris explained everything from Meliodas's defeat (much to his dismay) to them arriving in another world and everything up to this point in time.
Gelda was very shocked at his story while Meliodas opened his eyes. She didn't necessarily believe it because it sounded very crazy, but she turned to Meliodas wanting to confirm this and he nodded. While she would never doubt Zeldris she just needed confirmation and she knew Meliodas wasn't one to lie due to his serious nature.
"I-I see...well that certainly is a story. But, now we're in a war with the supernatural of another world, but according to you they technically started it." Gedasaid as she started thinking about it from an intellectual standpoint and saw that Rias had started all this when her peerage attacked them after saving them from a God and everything so on lead to the war between their worlds.
"Yes, but the reason we're here is to get the Vampire Clan to help us against them." Zeldris stated getting as to why they came here but he had figured that she already knew why a while ago.
"I would love to help you Zeldris I really would, but the rest of the Clan believes that Meliodas has gotten weaker because of his loss, and during our 3,000 years being sealed the Clan has gotten stronger and believe that they can take him down." Gelda said as she could sense the malevolence coming from Meliodas as he heard her words.
Weaker
Those words kept replaying in his mind as he grew angrier by the minute as his magical power started withering the area around them.
"I'll go and show them who the weak ones are." Meliodas's tone was cold and deadly that it sent chills down Zeldris's and Gelda's spine. He stood up and walked towards Gelda who was afraid and while Zeldris was very worried for her he just knew that he wouldn't hurt her.
"Tell me...where can I find the leader of the Vampire Clan...where is Izraf?" His tone carried such venom saying the leader's name that the man in question received a chill down his spine while his brother and his lover could hear it in his voice but Gelda swallowed her fear and spoke.
"He-he's at the capital...right in them in the middle of the town. It's a medium-sized building you shouldn't miss it." She said as Meliodas nodded as he jumped into the air and sprouted wings of darkness and sped off in the direction Gelda told him.
"Well while your brother goes off and fights the leader of my clan..." Zeldris turned to her but he flinched at her stare. "Do you mind telling me how he found out about our relationship?" Her glare pierced him giving him the chills as her glare almost rivaled Meliodas's cold tone before he left.
"W-well, the thing is...I don't know." Zeldris answered hoping that he wouldn't be lectured on how he should be more vigilant but instead, he received a kiss instead as he blushed while his lover giggled at his reaction turning towards where Izarf is.
"I can only hope that Meliodas doesn't destroy us." She said so that Zeldris could hear as he walked up to her and hugged her side.
"I can only hope as well."
They stayed like that waiting to hear the destruction.
TimeSkip
Meliodas was flying at supersonic speeds towards where Gelda pointed towards the Capital where he saw the building in sight. The vampires that saw the blur of darkness wondered who it was before it slammed down into the ground.
The vampires around got ready for combat when they saw Meliodas in the center of the small crater he made. However, before they all went to attack him any way they all saw the deep scowl on his face and he was radiating anger and power.
"Izraf...GET OUT HERE NOW!" Meliodas yelled as his magical power was pushing the Vampires around him into the ground as they were struggling to get up but soon enough Izraf walked out unaffected only because Meliodas wasn't focusing his power onto him but that didn't mean he couldn't feel his power.
"Well well, if it isn't the failure of the Demon Race. I'm surprised that the Demon King hasn't killed you or disowned you yet." Meliodas knew what Izraf was doing, he was trying to get him angry enough so that his Commandment would affect him so he held his tongue but that didn't mean he wasn't pissed off.
"And I see you are still arrogant as ever and you believe that you can take me down. Please, you probably couldn't take down one of the Six Knights of Black." Meliodas taunted with a smirk seeing Izraf lose his own as it was replaced with a scowl.
"Those Six are a joke, I could easily defeat them with how much stronger I've become." Once again Izraf was speaking arrogantly but Meliodas could sense it, he had gotten stronger as did the entirety of the Vampire Clan but, they weren't near the levels of Meliodas much less the Ten Commandments.
"For what reason are you here anyway? I doubt you came here to simply pick a fight with me, not that I'm against it though." Izraf said finally getting serious despite his last sentence as Meliodas lost his smirk as it was replaced with an impassive look.
"I've come here to gain your aid for something." Meliodas quickly spoke not wanting it to drag it out like some child. Izraf however, acted like a child when Meliodas said he needed his help.
"Well now this can't be real, Meliodas of the Demon Race never ask for help. So, what could be so important that he needed to ask for my help personally?" Izraf grinned as he noticed the irritated look that came across Meliodas's face. Meliodas, however, tried to calm himself, Zeldris had said that he couldn't beat him down then demand his help but that was proving to be very difficult as of this moment.
Meliodas just took a breath and proceeded to explain why he needed his help. Izraf was going to laugh at his claim of having a literal war with another dimension but during the whole conversation Meliodas's voice never wavered, it never faltered. Plus, who would spend 3,000 years coming up with this, it would be completely ludicrous.
Meliodas finished explaining as he stared at the leader of the Vampires waiting for his answer, not as though no would be the correct answer.
"Let's say that I believe your story, you expect me to aid you in this?" Izraf asked as Meliodas nodded...then he laughed right in his face. A scowl appeared on the Demon's forehead as well as a very hardened glare.
"Ahahaha...o-oh that's rich. Didn't know you could tell jo-ACK!" Izraf didn't finish his sentence as he was punched in the stomach and was sent into a building.
Meliodas started walking towards him as he spoke. "I didn't come here to be laughed at, nor did I come here to take no as an answer. You either come willingly or I will beat you into the ground and you will be forced to accept it." His voice was cold as he stopped walking and was standing over Izarf who coughed a little bit of blood before he threw a punch himself at Meliodas who caught it and didn't let go.
"I suggest you work on your arrogance, because despite what you and the rest of the Demon Realm may think I have not gotten weaker over the last 3,000 years, and just to prove it to you..." Meliodas unsheathed his Katana as he coated his blade in darkness and muttered his spell.
"Yami Mahō "Yamimatoi Jigengiri." (Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash)From Meliodas's sword, as he did a downward slash, pure darkness was released from his blade as it traveled and it destroyed a mountain as it also fitted through the magic in the air and the very space itself.
Izraf just stared with widened eyes, while he knew that Meliodas could already destroy mountains easily he destroyed making it almost flat had it not been for the gigantic cut in the ground along with the crater as he sensed the very space itself was cut as well.
Sheathing his sword Meliodas turned back towards the leader of Vampires with a small scowl on his face. "Now then, let's rethink your answer..." Meliodas spoke as the vampire nodded.
TimeSkip
Izraf had decided to help Meliodas after their confrontation as Meliodas flew back towards where Zeldris and Gelda were. He landed in the clearing as they walked towards him.
"I take it he decided to join us?" The question was rhetorical as Zeldris saw the explosion Meliodas created and he knew that Izarf's arrogance was gone after seeing Meliodas's strength.
"Yes that fool believed he could take me on, he has gotten stronger, however, possibly around the same strength as the Six Knights of Black." Meliodas mentioned as Zeldris nodded, while the Six Knights of Black weren't all that powerful they still had some strength.
"Now that you mention it are we going to recruit them for this war?" Zeldris asked as Meliodas sighed. He didn't know if he wanted to go out of his to find them and then recruit them because he knew that Bellion's arrogance rivaled Izarf's and it was a pain to deal with him alone.
"Well see. Aside from this it's time to return, we have a war to prepare for and it's time we give Ophis the Commandment of Patience." Meliodas said as he sprouted wings of Darkness as Zeldris turned to Gelda saying his goodbye before he did the same as Meliodas and they both flew off leaving Gelda by herself.
"Be safe Zel..." She muttered to herself before disappearing in a whirl of darkness, an ability she learned after drinking some of Zeldris's blood.
In the Human world
Meliodas and Zeldris had returned to the Human world just as Derrieri and Estarossa entered the room. Estarossa sitting next to Asia who was now awake as she hugged him and he returned it.
"Good just about everyone's here, all we need is Ophis." Meliodas said as Gowther walked into the room with the person in question as she seemed weakened for some reason.
"Her power was somehow stolen from her. She knows who did and asked come to me asking for help in removing them from the Dimensional Gap." Gowther explained noticing their confused expressions as they now seemed shocked that someone managed to steal her power, but Meliodas felt unknown anger for some reason but he squashed it down not wanting to dwell on it any further.
"I see, however that shouldn't change what we want to do. Ophis, let's make another deal." Meliodas spoke and couldn't help but grin. Ophis seemed curious as she nodded.
"You've lost your power, you've lost your home and I can assume that you want revenge against those who did this to you?" Meliodas asked as she nodded. "Then, join us. Become one of the Ten Commandments, specifically the Commandment of Patience, you will gain power and with it, you can destroy those who made a mockery of you. All I ask is that you help us with this war and we will help you regain control of the Dimensional Gap. So, is it a deal then?" Meliodas asked as he stuck his hand out as the Infinity Dragon looked at it.
She stood there and thought. On one hand, she would gain back some power that she didn't originally have plus a unique ability to boot and getting her home back so long as she helps them win this war. But, she would risk the Commandment's ability should she defy it and she would run the risk of the Demons betraying her when their goal is done.
After a few minutes of heavy debating, she finally decided.
"I shall aid you in your goal. However, I wish to go and claim my home as soon as possible, then I shall help you." Ophis replied as Meliodas's grin faltered slightly, he expected her to accept the deal due to her circumstances but she slightly changed his deal. Wanting to go immediately to reclaim her home instead of after, smart, and Meliodas liked it.
"Deal." They shook hands signaling the Alliance between them.
Their enemies had no idea of the power the Ten Commandments had, no matter what Gods they ally themselves with, no matter what race sides with them, they will fall before the power of the Demon Race, and they will know who is their superior in this war.
Unknown
Darkness.
That's all one could see no matter where they turned...till there was a crack of light. Multiple cracks had appeared shinning its way into the darkness, but it revealed nothing.
The light finally dying down...showed a Glowing red eye snap open before it disappeared and chuckling was heard.
"So..." The deep voice trailed off, as from the darkness two red eyes snapped open staring out of the crack of light. "...it has begun." It finished as it chuckled before closing its eyes, its voice echoing throughout the darkness as then the being inside the darkness simply laughed at the events that had transpired...as if it somehow knew of what was going on.
End chapter
Author's Note: That ending though, well if you're not intrigued then idk how to keep you reading from this.
So, fairly positive that everyone should be either surprised or be like "oh shit!" at the spells I used for Meliodas and Estarossa.
Aside from that a lot of people have been asking if Trihexa will be released and what side of the war he/she will be on. To answer that question, all I will say is that Trihexa will be released and as for what side, just reading and you'll find out. Also, should the Six Knights of Black be in this? Let me know.
Anyways that should be all so see you when I make the next chapter.
