Synopsis
The characters arrive at Dalmary Town where Meliodas received treatment from Dr. Dana. Diane and Elizabeth talked about aspects in which they envy each other, when they are suddenly attacked by Friesia of the Weird Fangs.

Whilst Diane headed for the Baste Dungeon, Ban escapes his prison and engages in a battle with Jericho, who was only able to provide the Seven Deadly Sins with a new haircut. Meanwhile, Dr. Dana is exposed to have attempted to assassin Meliodas in order for Golgius of the Weird Fangs to obtain his Broken Blade.

When Golgius attempts to steal Meliodas' Broken Blade, Meliodas immediately recovers his consciousnesses and retrieves his weapon. After Golgius escapes knowing that he'll be easily defeated, Meliodas and his group follows him. Dr. Dana is later killed and the battle between Golgius and Meliodas begins.

After falling into Meliodas' trap and being slashed, Golgius escapes on a horse and heads to the Baste Dungeon. Later, the characters decide to head towards the Baste Dungeon to search for Dr. Dana's daughter and Ban. When Diane suddenly appears and seems to be hypnotized, the Weird Fangs prepare for battle.

Whilst Diane is trying to recall what had happen after she began battling Friesia, she abruptly sees an illusion of Ruin in place of Meliodas. As a result, Diane begins attacking Meliodas, causing them to run away. Meliodas is soon deluded in the same way as Diane, and the two begin battling. Meanwhile at the Baste Dungeon, Ban defeats Jericho and discovers Cenette.

When Ban releases Cenette from her chains and takes her dagger, Jude sudden appears to confront him. At the same time, Meliodas and Diane continue their battle, when Friesia suddenly appears to attack a child. Elizabeth bravely saves the boy and suffers severe injuries, however, she then realizes that the boy was actually Ruin's illusions. Ruin begins attacking Elizabeth, before she breaks his source of illusions. After snapping out of the illusions, Meliodas returns to protect Elizabeth.

Ruin's illusion spell is broken and Meliodas begins battling him. The Holy Knight first gains the upper hand, but Meliodas soon defeats him easily without drawing his sword. At the same time, Jude pierces Ban with sharp metal rod, believing that he could easily kill him. To his surprise, Ban removed the weapon from his chest and stabbed him back.

Whilst Meliodas finished defeating Ruin, Diane also defeats Friesia. Diane helps carry Elizabeth and she heads towards the Baste Dungeon together with Meliodas and Hawk. After entering the Baste Dungeon, Golgius activates an incantation trap which causes the Eternal Seal Spell, aiming to trap the Seven Deadly Sins forever. Meanwhile, the characters find Cenette, who was terrified, and Ban, who began a happy competitive reunion with Meliodas. Whilst arm wrestling, the two Seven Deadly Sins destroyed the Baste Dungeon.

After destroying the entire Baste Dungeon, the characters head back to Dalmary Town where they discover that Dr. Dana was still alive. The characters start a party and Ban discovers that Hawk can actually talk. During the party, Diane and Elizabeth develop a closer relationship, and everyone ends up sleeping happily halfway.
