——If you want to get back the power sealed here, you must pass the test.
Of course, it's not that Jenna is deliberately making things difficult.
But Meliodas has a special status.
A specific example is: a coke bottle with air has less air and will not explode even if it is shaken. If it has too much air, there is a risk of explosion if it is slightly bumped.
The most unacceptable thing is that the bottle itself is not dangerous, but the people around it are not so lucky...
In order to avoid the tragedy of the past and confirm that Meliodas indeed has the "rationality" to withstand his original power, the trial is necessary.
Meliodas looked indifferent, a trial is a trial, there is nothing to be afraid of~
Seeing his attitude, Jenna was very happy and invited the group to go to the Druid Holy Land first, and under the witness of the central sacred tree, they would start the traditional trial of the Druid family.
Although they have human appearances, what the Druids really advocate is natural life. They live in either stone houses or tree houses, and their three meals a day are all wild grass and berries. Vegetarians are ecstatic to see this.
.
In order to show her kindness as a landowner, Jenna warmly entertained Meliodas and his party. There were rows full of fruits of all kinds, as well as homemade fruit wine and drinks.
After all, it was someone's kindness, and Meliodas and the others did not refuse.
I am used to eating fresh fish and meat, so it would be nice to eat some vegetarian food.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
It's just that in this 'harmony', Elizabeth can always feel a strange hostility.
He followed the line of sight and saw Jenna's sister, Shanelli, staring at him solemnly.
Elizabeth couldn't help scratching her face and quietly asked the pig next to her: "Hoke, is there something strange on my face?"
Piggy was stuffing fruit into his mouth. When he heard this, he turned his head to look, then shook his head rapidly, and his ears crackled like cattail fans.
Elizabeth blinked, thinking she was too sensitive.
As a result, the line of sight did not disappear, but instead became more and more intense.
She finally couldn't help it anymore and said to Shanelli: "Excuse me, have we known each other before?"
"Of course I don't know him." Shanelli responded coldly.
"Then why..."
"Why why? You are such a strange person." Shanelli is like a rose with thorns, exuding an aura that is unapproachable from the inside out.
She looked at Elizabeth, scanning her delicate face, and finally her eyes fell on the special symbol on Elizabeth's right eye. Her expression showed a little awe. But soon, she returned to her original attitude of neither salt nor indifference.
"You are such a baffling person!"
Am I confused?
Elizabeth was a little sad to be targeted for no reason.
At this moment, Jenna and Meliodas finally noticed something strange and paid their attention.
Jenna seemed to have thought of something, coughed slightly, and explained to her sister: "This guest, please don't worry, Shanelli has always had this kind of character, and we rarely see strangers here, so...
…”
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, Miss Shanelli is very nice, we didn't have any conflicts." Elizabeth waved her hands repeatedly.
Seeing that the woman she was hostile to was so clueless, Shanelli's temper became even more violent.
Before he could speak, a voice came into his ears.
"What are you doing? You guys need to get along well." Meliodas didn't understand the situation and instinctively made a speech like a straight man.
Shanelli was stunned for a moment, all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
She took a deep look at Meliodas, held the big leaf that belonged to her, said nothing, and walked away, shaking her hair.
This time Jenna was even more embarrassed.
Fortunately, Meliodas and Elizabeth didn't care, and they forgot about it in the blink of an eye.
After a simple meal, a few people started talking about business.
The main target of this trial is Meliodas.
However, other people can also choose to participate in the trial and face themselves and their hearts. Once they pass the test, it will be of great benefit to themselves.
Meliodas seemed a little impatient and said to Jenna: "Hurry up and start, I can't wait."
It was imminent to regain his power and regain his original strength. He planned to take the initiative to put an end to the 'Ten Commandments' once and for all.
Jenna nodded, began to cast special magic through the druid secret ritual, and asked Meliodas to relax.
Meliodas did as he was told, greeted Elizabeth and the others, and gently closed his eyes.
Time passes by breath by breath.
Along with his even breathing, his consciousness continued to empty out, and he felt as if his soul was being pulled by some force into a mysterious space.
It's pitch black here, there's no distinction between up, down, left and right.
Meliodas felt like catkins floating in the wind, and could only rely on instinct to randomly choose a direction and move forward.
As he walked, a little light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
For those who have been in darkness for a long time, this light is no different than an oasis in the desert or an island in the ocean. So, he changed from walking to running, strode forward, and ran into the light!
Space changes.
The darkness disappeared.
Instead, there are many vivid scenes:
“Fresh fruits are delicious and not expensive.”
"Would you like some wine?"
"They are all good goods. They only cost three copper coins."
here it is?
The scenery in front of Melionas felt a little familiar.
In an instant, many dusty memories surged up, covering the original memories.
He remembered that this was the capital of the Kingdom of Danaflor!
And he.
Meliodas is the paladin captain of this kingdom and protects all citizens.
"Sir Meliodas, thank you very much for what happened last time."
"Your Excellency, Lord Paladin, if you have time, come to my house for a drink and get a 50% discount."
"Why is it only 50% off? You are so stingy. When you come to my store, everything is free."
The sounds in his ears made Meliodas sink deeper and deeper. He had forgotten everything about the outside world, as well as Elizabeth and Marlene.
He smiled briskly without any pressure, as if he had truly returned to the most relaxed and happy time many years ago.
"Really, I just said that I couldn't find you, so you were hiding here and being lazy."
Meliodas was talking to the civilians.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
Melioda froze immediately.
He slowly turned around and saw a sassy female knight with short hair looking at him with her hands on her hips.
"Liz...are you Liz?"
Liz laughed angrily at Meliodas' words: "Who am I if I'm not Liz? If you want to be lazy, why don't you find a more reliable reason? Amnesia? You're tricking me like a child."
"Liz!" For some reason, Meliodas felt like he had regained something, and tears filled his eyes with excitement.
Ignoring the looks from others, he jumped up and hugged Liz.
Now it was Liz's turn to be at a loss. Her delicate face was suddenly filled with blush, and she hurriedly pushed Meliodas: "What are you doing? You're still on the street, it's so embarrassing."
But Meliodas pretended not to hear, hugging Liz tightly and not letting go.
It's like once he lets go, he will lose the other person forever.
"Don't go..."
"Okay, okay, I won't hold you accountable for being lazy anymore. Let it go." Liz's face turned red as if on fire. She patted Meliodas's head gently: "I promise I won't leave you.
.”
Such disgusting lines are rarely seen.
People around him laughed kindly.
Liz was so embarrassed that she buried her head deeply.
Meliodas finally let go after receiving the assurance. He chuckled, his heart completely filled with happiness.
But at this moment.
A black thunder struck down.
Unbiased, right on target Leeds.
Liz's shy yet happy smile still hung on her face, but the vitality in her eyes immediately disappeared.
Meliodas was stunned, his mind going blank.
Warm blood sprinkled on his face.
Stimulates all sensory nerves.
"No!"
Meliodas roared wildly.
Seeing this, the friendly people around them laughed strangely, and their appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes. From humans to grotesque demons.
Meliodas's eyes were red, and he hugged Liz's body. He looked angrily at the demons around him, and the black energy on his body surged like ocean waves, one after another, covering the entire sky.
"It's you! It's you!"
No one responded to his questions and his anger.
Only countless ridicules echoed in my ears.
Meliodas fell into endless madness, and at some point a sword appeared in his hand.
Black demonic energy covered the whole body, forming a special mark on the forehead. In an instant, the earth shook, the mountains shook, and the sky trembled.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Meliodas in a berserk state is the purest killing machine. Anything that dares to stand in his way will be smashed to pieces with a single sword.
With itself as the center of the circle, the evil energy spreads in all directions.
Meliodas kept swinging his sword, blood spilled and gradually gathered into a sea of blood.
He is like a boat in a sea of blood.
No!
He is an unshakable rock in the sea of blood!
The knife falls with the hand, the knife falls with the hand, the knife falls with the hand...
I do not know how long it has been.
There was no living thing in sight.
Meliodas lowered his sword hilt blankly.
He wanted to find Liz's body, but as he took the first step, everything in front of him suddenly changed.
Those people who were originally regarded as demons have become ordinary people again.
Among the ruins, Meliodas stared blankly at the sea of fire in front of him.
"I...what did I do?"
There was a clang.
The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
Meliodas covered his head in pain, the flames around him burning his skin and his heart.
"Merry...did you do all of this?"
The 'resurrected' Liz quietly came to Meliodas at some point. She put her hands on Meliodas' shoulders, her eyes full of unconcealable disappointment.
"Liz?" Meliodas was a little confused.
Because he clearly remembered that Liz was dead.
etc.
Is Liz dead?
Meliodas felt that his head hurt so much, as if it was going to explode at any moment.
Ignoring Meliodas' pain, Liz was still mumbling:
"What on earth did you do?"
"You harmed the people you were sworn to protect."
"You destroyed the country that we all worked so hard for."
"In the end, you are still the son of the Demon King who can only destroy and bring disaster and misfortune."
Meliodas wanted to stop the other party: "Stop talking, stop talking."
"Die! Melly, die quickly! As long as you die, there will be no disasters and misfortunes." Liz leaned into Meliodas' ear and spoke in a very bewitching voice.
Meliodas seemed to be controlled by someone, his eyes were extremely dull, and he murmured: "Death, as long as I die, will this all end?"
outside world--
"I'm sorry, he lost himself." Jenna looked at the black lines appearing on Meliodas' body, not daring to be careless at all times.
Even with the help of Marin, the mainland's leading magician, she still felt that it was very difficult and the seal she had set might break at any time.
"Now is not the time to talk about that. Don't be distracted." Marlene looked solemn.
Even though she had thought about such a situation happening before, she was still frightened when Meliodas really went berserk.
What should I say...
As expected of the man he fell in love with?
Marlene frowned.
Take the time to look to the other side.
Elizabeth was still sleeping soundly, as peacefully as a baby.
It's just that she exudes a faint light. Although she is weak and inconspicuous, she can compete with the black energy erupting from Meliodas.
"That is the purest original power of the goddess clan. From the first moment I saw the girl, I discovered that she not only had the blood of a druid, but also awakened the unique ability of the goddess clan." Jenna followed what Marlene saw.
, said softly: "Perhaps, we can channel the magic power that Miss Elizabeth unconsciously exudes to suppress Meliodas's rampage."
"Your idea is good, but it is difficult to implement and the risk is too great." Marlene seemed to be thinking about something.
At this moment, Meliodas suddenly opened his eyes, as if a drowning man had come ashore again, gasping for air.
The magic dissipates.
Jenna and Marlene suddenly felt relieved.
But Meliodas was in terrible condition. He was covered in blood, as if he had been crushed repeatedly by a heavy hammer, with only one breath left.
"Captain..." Marin spoke softly.
Meliodas raised his head and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Needless to say, I failed the test, right?"
"If you can't face yourself, the past, and your heart, even if you regain your original strength, you will go berserk again because you can't stabilize and control your emotions." Jenna explained: "It would be too dangerous to do that. I'm afraid we will have to
We are facing not only the Demon God Clan, but also you."
"Don't speak so heartlessly, it will make you look like a dangerous person." Meliodas wiped his face.
He turned to look at Elizabeth, who was sleeping peacefully in the distance, as if he wanted to remember that figure.
Taking a deep breath, he said to Jenna: "Please do it again, I will not get lost this time."
"Are you sure you want to do this? This magic will hurt your spirit, even if your body is the strongest..."
"I'm very sure." Meliodas said decisively: "Do it again, don't worry about me, I'm fine!"
"All right……"
Jenna hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
However, she did not forget to remind Meliodas: "This time you will be lost even deeper. If you cannot recover in time, you may fall into eternal sinking."
