Meliodas had said in the original story that the Demon Clan's rapid healing ability could restore wounds on the body, but the damage would accumulate within the body.
In other words, as long as the damage was sufficient, even the Demon Clan would be defeated.
But every member of the Demon Clan, even the lowest-ranking Red Demon, possessed an incredible physique. After all, they had more than one heart.
So the damage they could withstand was unimaginable to other races.
But even the Demon Clan couldn't withstand Drake's bombardment, let alone Hendrickson, who was just a human who had obtained the power of the Demon Clan.
After taking another punch from Drake, the scorching flames made Hendrickson scream.
While enduring the pain of the flames, Hendrickson raised his fist to punch Drake.
Drake grabbed his wrist, swung him around in place for half a circle, and then slammed him directly to the ground.
Hendrickson repaired the wounds on his body, and looked up to see Drake bring a leg down on him, and could only roll away in a sorry state to dodge Drake's attack.
Ban walked to Meliodas' side, saying, "Yo, the Great Holy Knight is getting beaten up pretty badly!"
Ban had acted quickly, using his magic power to extract the Demon Clan seeds from the bodies of all the New Generation, returning them to normal.
Compared to the gloating Ban, Meliodas' expression was much more complicated.
He had always thought that this was a war he should face, but in the end, it was still Drake who solved it. He couldn't help but become more anxious about regaining his strength.
On the other hand, he was also wondering how the Hendrickson he knew, who had always upheld justice, had become like this.
Hendrickson didn't know what Meliodas was thinking, he was focusing all of his attention on Drake right now. After all, if he relaxed even a little, he might be killed.
After being punched away by Drake again, his sunken chest healed in mid-air, Hendrickson knew that he couldn't continue like this.
So he spread out his palms, and countless dark purple energy tentacles extended out, stabbing at Drake from all directions.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Blade!"
Drake swung his hand like a sword, and the huge dragon wings composed of flames slashed over, cutting all the tentacles in half.
After the tentacles were burned to ashes, Drake's vision also cleared, and what he saw first was Hendrickson flying into the sky.
Drake snorted coldly, bending his arm and making a lifting posture. A large amount of flames condensed and compressed in Drake's palm, finally forming a flame javelin.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art Modification: Purgatory Flame Dragon Spear"
This was a technique that could even injure the Fire Dragon God Ignia, and although Drake had restricted most of its power, it was still enough to deal with Hendrickson.
"If you want to escape, survive this move first!"
Saying this, Drake directly threw the flame spear in his hand.
Hendrickson, who was flying in the sky, only felt a special star shining above his head, and that light seemed to form a special red character.
Looking back in horror, what he saw was the flame spear approaching in the blink of an eye.
Although they weren't close, everyone saw Hendrickson being pierced by the flame spear.
Then his entire body disappeared in mid-air, as if he had been pulverized into dust by the terrifying power of the flame spear.
Meliodas walked over, saying, "I can't sense his magic power anymore, was he completely annihilated?"
Drake said unhappily, "No, someone rescued him!"
Meliodas asked in confusion, "Who was it?"
Drake replied, "If I didn't sense wrong, it was Dreyfus, but he was using Demon Clan power that was even stronger than Hendrickson's."
Meliodas was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran in one direction.
Earlier, Dreyfus had suggested that the king move away from the battlefield, and then left with the king and Elizabeth.
But now Dreyfus had returned and rescued Hendrickson. Then something had likely happened to Elizabeth's side.
Sure enough, when the group found Elizabeth, there was a large hole in her abdominal area, with a lot of bloodstains left on it.
As expected, Dreyfus had suddenly launched a sneak attack on Elizabeth just now, and then directly disappeared.
Fortunately, Stella had arrived in time, and had done emergency treatment with the All-Purpose Medicine.
Drake was pensive, deducing from the traces that the wound was indeed quite large.
Although the All-Purpose Medicine was powerful, it wasn't so powerful that it could heal it so quickly that it looked like she had never been injured.
Although Drake's intervention had prevented Elizabeth from awakening her Goddess power under intense stimulation this time,
But it seemed that even if he didn't do anything, as long as she was by Meliodas' side, Elizabeth's power would gradually awaken.
Seeing that Elizabeth was safe and sound, Meliodas finally relaxed.
Hendrickson and Dreyfus were nowhere to be found, the king had been rescued, and the New Generation's rampage had also been stopped, it could be said that most of the goals of the royal capital's conquest had been perfectly achieved.
Of course, everyone knew that the two missing Great Holy Knights were likely brewing a new conspiracy, and that there were still who knows how many battles waiting for everyone in the future, but that didn't stop everyone from revealing relaxed smiles... except for Drake.
Because Drake saw a person completely wrapped in a cloak appear among the group.
And after that person reached out and lifted the cloak, the true face that was revealed was a scantily clad woman, with the tattoo of the Scarlet Sin, the Boar, clearly exposed on the outside.
Merlin, the Gluttony's Sin of the Seven Deadly Sins, the world's number one magician.
"Yo, it's been perfectly resolved over here! It's been ten years, and you guys have become more capable than I imagined!"
Meliodas greeted Merlin after seeing her, saying, "It's Merlin, you've come too!"
Merlin laughed, saying, "I am a member of the Seven Deadly Sins after all, is it strange that I'm here?"
Drake curled his lip, Drake had sensed Merlin's magic power a long time ago. But she hadn't taken action during the normal battles, only teaching her good-for-nothing disciple Vivian a lesson.
Drake also noticed that Ban was acting very coldly, it seemed that he didn't have much trust in Merlin either.
Although he himself had been slacking off during the battle, he could sense that Merlin was completely different from him, her true heart and purpose were hidden even deeper.
After greeting those she knew, Merlin turned her head to look at Drake, who was faintly distant.
"This one seems like I've never seen him before! Is he a new friend that the Captain has made?"
Merlin's gaze made Drake instantly vigilant; that pair of eyes, like bottomless pools, didn't reveal any emotions.
That curiosity that she was displaying was also only superficial, more like a disguise for her true thoughts.
But Drake just had a feeling that she was plotting against him.
That was why Drake hated these kinds of people, only thinking about the value on the other person's body, even if it was the first time they had met.
Even if the other person was a magician who had mastered countless secret techniques, Drake had no intention of getting close to her.
