Long Synopsis
The main characters soon arrive at the Forest of White Dreams that is said to even be avoided by the Holy Knights because of how dangerous it can potentially be. After walking for over three hours and having lost their sense of direction, they suddenly discover multiple copies of Hawk.

All of the copies attempt to proclaim that they are the real one, until Meliodas easily defeats them. The mysterious monsters then decided to transform into copies of Elizabeth. In order to discover who is the real Elizabeth, Meliodas decides to instruct them to do some actions (e.g. left hand on cheek), and when he tells all of them to jump, all the fake copies of Elizabeth jumps up and the real one stays on the ground. With one attack, Meliodas defeats all the monsters that are revealed to be the Prankster Imps who love to play hide and seek. The monsters retreat and the characters decide to follow them, and finally discovering Diane of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Prankster Imps appears to be Diane's underlings and believed that Meliodas was a Holy Knight.
