"Gil! What are you doing with these guys?" Howzer asks Gilthunder as Margaret, him, and I walk towards Diane and the others.

"There's no time to explain right now. I'll inform you later," Gilthunder said simply.

Loud roars catch my attention and as I turn my head I spot many people turn into monsters.

"What is this?" Howzer asks.

A monster went to attack Sir Meliodas but Diane grabbed its hands trying to push it back but struggles. "Diane!" I yelled.

"You're perspective as always," A familiar voice said and I turned around to see Hendrickson, but he looked younger, stronger.

"To be honest the new generations are just wrist wraps that fail to be Holy Knights," Hendrickson said as he came closer.

"Their hearts fill with content for those who are truly powerful, and blames themselves for being inferior," Hendrickson continued.

"This ancient curse will intensify their feelings and over time it will consume them completely,"

"So you're still alive Hendrickson," Sir Meliodas said. "Hendrickson?" Gilthunder asks in shock. "He seems stronger from before., I pointed out.

"It looks like he has the demon blood in him too," Sir Meliodas stated. "What an incredible blessing! When is truly compatible with the demon blood, it supercharges their strength and amplifies their magical abilities! All that research and experimentation was worth it!" Hendrickson said.

"Now hand over Y/n," Hendrickson said with his hand out, causing me to move closer to Sir Meliodas.

"And from one demon to another, I'll let you live," Hendrickson said. "I'm not like you. See you're not a human, not a demon. You're nothing but a fool!" Sir Meliodas said.

Hendrickson chuckles. "I can't say I wasn't expecting that," Hendrickson said.

"Were you expecting this too?" Sir King said behind him using his power. "Naturally," Hendrickson said as he knocked Sir King back.

"Back up! But how?" I heard Sir King say before gasping at what he saw.

Hendrickson chuckles darkly as he began to talk about fairies and how the body doesn't rot when deceased. And how a soul can only be recreated twice before their soul will deteriorate.

Howzer took out his sword only to be knicked into a building by Hendrickson.

"Hendrickson!" Sir Meliodas yelled as he and Gilthunder went to attack him.

I watched as they try to attack Hendrickson until a bar was around my throat holding me back, I turn to see the mage, Vivian.

"Sir Meliodas!" I pleaded. "Gilthunder!" Margaret yelled.

"Vivian! Curse you!" Gilthunder yelled at Vivian

"You belong to me and me alone, sweet Gil.  Do you have no idea how my heart aches for you?" Vivian said and I gasped.

Hendrickson stabbed Sir Meliodas and Gilthunder causing both to fall. "Gil!" Margaret and Vivian yelled as I stood there shocked.

As Sir Meliodas lays there blood starts to seep from his wounds, creating a pool of crimson blood, Sir Meliodas's blood.

"Sir Meliodas...you can't be,"

"Why'd you attack him that was never our plan!" Vivian yelled as she let us go.

"Was it not? Now this man is entirely in your possession. Reduced to a corpse he will never leave you ever again," Hendrickson said. "But that's.." Vivian said crying.

"Now then," Hendrickson as he lifted his hand creating a blackish-purple flame.

"And I'm going make certain both of you will be finished off for good.," Hendrickson said as he looked at the two.

I walked up to Hendrickson. "Now that's enough," I said.

"As you wish, I will agree to go with you. And in return don't harm them anymore!" I declared.

"Y/n don't," Sir Meliodas said weakly. "Y/n! Wait what are you doing?" Margaret yelled as I walked further ahead.

"There's a good girl. Honestly, I was only planning to let Meliodas survive, but I'll throw in Gilthunder too." Hendrickson said.

"You cant no! Please don't go, Y/n!" Sir Meliodas yelled and I stopped. "Sir Meliodas," I said smiling as I turned to look at him.

"For once let me protect you instead. Let me care for you the way you always care for me," I said as tears form in my eyes.

"Shall we both take our leave then?" Hendrickson asked. "Please wait! Don't let him do this to you!" Sir Meliodas yelled.

"Sir Meliodas. That promise that we made, please don't ever forget it. Even if I die along the way," I said smiling as I turned to him, as he stared at me in shock in return.

Hendrickson formed a wing on his left arm and carried me away. "Y/n!" Sir Meliodas yelled for me.
