Short Summary
Jericho and Twigo are immediately surprised by the appearance the demon, which Hendricksen claims to only be a corpse that was found 20 years ago in the Fairy King's Forest. The two young apprentices then demand for new powers, when the elder man reveals that drinking the demon's blood greatly increases a human's power if they are compatible. Although they hesitated at first, both Twigo and Jericho drank the cup of blood at the remembrance of being ridiculed by Meliodas and Ban respectively. Instantly, Twigo is discovered to be incompatible, and subsequently explodes to death. On the other hand, Jericho successfully consumes the blood and becomes part of the New Generations.

Meanwhile, Meliodas and the rest arrive at the merchant town of Byzel after hearing about a weapon that no one can use. Elizabeth and Diane are left behind, whilst the rest head towards town. Meliodas, Ban, King and Hawk continue their way through the busy streets and soon meet an old man who guides them to the annual fight festival. Feeling excited, Meliodas and Ban decide to join the tournament and force King to also sign up. They then encounter Taizoo who angrily yells at Meliodas, thinking that he is only a child. However, Hauser arrives just in time and stops Taizoo from causing a anymore trouble. The participants make their way on top of a giant rock and the preliminary round begins.
