Drake reflected on what had happened since he came to this world. Although his purpose was research, it seemed like he was always fighting.
It wasn't that Drake hated fighting, but there had to be a good opponent to enjoy it. But none of the characters that had appeared in the early stages had that kind of strength.
So Drake planned to have a peaceful time afterward, but the bad thing was that after his previous activities, the Holy Knights had already set their sights on him.
It's just that they didn't know his specific situation, otherwise Drake estimated that his wanted order would have already been issued.
So after being attacked by the masked man, Drake didn't fight back, but said a line from a certain scientist from the Land of Light.
But Drake suddenly realized that he and the original owner of the line were quite similar.
Of course, the masked man didn't know what that line meant, he only knew that he had encountered a monster-level opponent.
The Roar of Dawn, belonged to the knight order of the Kingdom of Liones, and was one of the kingdom's top knight orders.
Their fame was exchanged for the heads of their enemies, as long as the kingdom issued a mission, they would surely annihilate all the targets.
As a combat group, their configuration was quite perfect.
There were heavily armored knights acting as vanguards, scouts in charge of support, assault troops in charge of attacking fortifications, ranged archers, and hunters in charge of reaping the spoils.
And now, the ones facing this perfect configuration were the Seven Deadly Sins.
Meliodas swung his short rod to deflect the incoming long arrow, while at the same time blocking the masked man Slader, who wanted to continue attacking Drake.
"The leader of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Dragon's Sin of Wrath, Meliodas, I've admired you for a long time!" Slader stopped his attack and held his saw-shaped greatsword horizontally.
"But this time our target isn't you, but the head of the armored giant.
To be honest, I don't want to fight you, can you give us a way out?"
Meliodas struck a fighting pose and said, "That's not possible, I promised someone that he wouldn't be disturbed."
Drake didn't even look at Meliodas, but concentrated on the surgery to separate the Demon Clan blood.
Slader glanced at Drake and said, "I see, that person can't spare his hand to fight? That makes it a lot easier for us!"
Before he finished speaking, Slader had already attacked, and the target of his attack wasn't Meliodas, but Drake.
Slader was originally a slave of the barbarians, and awakened his magic power in the slaughter, but was later rescued by the King of Liones and became a Holy Knight.
So his battles always pursued results, and he would fight in the way that was most beneficial to him.
Attacking the "unable to fight back" Drake, thereby distracting Meliodas, he could use this somewhat despicable tactic without any psychological burden.
The sound of clanging rang out, that was Meliodas and Slader clashing countless times.
Just after the short rod and the greatsword collided again, the one who was knocked away by the force of the collision was actually Meliodas.
And Slader swept his sword over, even though Meliodas bent his back into a limbo, a lock of hair was still shaved off his forehead.
But Slader also took a kick from Meliodas and was sent flying out.
Meliodas straightened up, stretched his arms and said, "My power suddenly weakened just now, you're the one doing it!"
Slader raised his greatsword and said, "That's right, my magic power [Pressure] can forcibly suppress the strength of my opponents."
Just then, a beam of magic power flashed, the archer in the distance had magic power [Fill], and could enhance the speed and power of arrows by adding magic power.
And this arrow filled to the limit was shot at Drake.
Meliodas quickly chased after him and swung his weapon to deflect the long arrow.
But this exposed a flaw, and Slader seized the opportunity to approach Meliodas, whose defenses were wide open, and slashed at him with his sword.
If nothing unexpected happened, this sword would have been able to cut open Meliodas' chest.
But Slader found that his movements had become sluggish, and before he could hit Meliodas, he adjusted his posture and slammed his rod into his shoulder.
Crashing heavily to the ground, Slader didn't look at Meliodas after getting up, but instead turned his head to another direction.
Over there, Ban was reaching out to him, and a heavily armored companion had already fallen to the ground.
Ban's magic power [Snatch] could not only steal magic power and stamina, but also basic attributes such as speed and strength.
Just now, Ban had stolen all of Slader's attributes, which was why he had not only failed to successfully attack Meliodas but had instead exposed a flaw.
Slader then realized that he had underestimated the Seven Deadly Sins, and the situation of the battle was absolutely unfavorable for the Roar of Dawn.
Diane was enraged by the female knight's fly-like and annoying attacks, and directly created a series of huge stone mountains and smashed them over.
The female knight was now exerting all her effort just to dodge the stone mountains.
King also used the Spirit Spear in its Guardian Beast form to firmly hold the katana knight, and it seemed that he couldn't break free either.
Slader gripped his greatsword and began to think about how to complete the mission in this situation.
"How about we call a truce here!"
This voice didn't belong to anyone present, and everyone couldn't help but look in the direction the voice came from.
Slader's pupils contracted, because what he saw was his archer companion being carried in the hands of a green-haired youth, his eyes closed tightly and already unconscious.
The youth said, "Don't worry, I just made him quiet for a while, after all, I don't want to fight you."
King suddenly said, "It's you, the guy the showoff was talking about, Gowther!"
King's relationship with Drake still hadn't improved, so he always used "the showoff" to refer to Drake.
Ban said from the side, "This guy is Gowther, no way!"
The expression on the youth's face was still wooden, and he said, "I am indeed Gowther, that's right!"
As he spoke, the youth took off his coat, revealing the goat tattoo on his collarbone, and at the same time, the youth's hair changed from green to scarlet.
Slader said with a sigh, "To think we'd encounter five members of the Seven Deadly Sins here, it seems that this mission is destined to fail."
Gowther said, "According to the memories I've seen, you should be Holy Knights loyal to the king. Then you should take a good look at your target."
Slader turned his head in confusion and looked at the armored giant.
As Drake continued to separate the Demon Clan blood, the proliferating flesh and blood tissue had gradually dissolved, and that huge armor fell off, revealing the person inside.
It was a middle-aged man, skinny and looking as if he had suffered all kinds of torture.
But as that terrifying body returned to normal, the expression of pain on his face also began to subside.
"That's…?" Slader always felt that the person was somewhat familiar.
Meliodas said, "He was originally also a Holy Knight of the kingdom, but he was turned into a monster."
Slader said, "I know him, Holy Knight Del. The Holy Knight who fled in fear of battle, causing his companions to die."
Gowther said, "Now you should understand that there is a conspiracy behind your mission. Knowing this, do you still intend to continue fighting us?"
