Meliodas vs. Escanor

Meliodas vs. Escanor is a battle fought between the Meliodas and Escanor.

Prologue
The Seven Deadly Sins make their way to Corand to dispel the barrier "protecting" Camelot by defeating Melascula. As they approach the entrance to Corand, Meliodas spots Zeldris and charges into battle, only to find the Zeldris was merely an illusion. Melascula then envelopes Meliodas in Antan no Mayu. She uses Shura no Onshu. As the Seven Deadly Sins defeat the reanimated soldiers with ease, Melascula joins the battle, leaving Meliodas inside the "Cocoon of Darkness". Meliodas then chooses to unleash his demon powers, losing his memories and emotions.

Battle
As Meliodas breaks out of the Antan no Mayu, Escanor calls for his Sacred Treasure, Rhitta and asks Merlin to encases both of them inside a Perfect Cube. Escanor strikes Meliodas with Rhitta, which Meliodas blocks with Lostvayne. Escanor then strikes again several times, only to have Meliodas jump and strike him with his knee in the face. Meliodas attempts to slash his neck, but Escanor block it with his weapon. Meliodas then applies pressure to Lostvayne by spinning constantly, pushing Escanor back against the cube walls.

Escanor then charges to Meliodas, but Meliodas stab him in his stomach. Escanor then grabs Meliodas's head, only to be greeted by Hellblaze from Meliodas's sword. Escanor then falls to the ground, unconscious for a moment. Escanor then gets up, beginning to grow larger, the wound in his stomach closing by itself as well. Hawk has his power calculated as 114,000. Meliodas looks surprised at his sudden transformation, Escanor then attacks Meliodas with Super Slash, which had no effect on Meliodas, who delivers a single punch right to Escanor's chest, making him falling down on his knees. Meliodas puts his foot on Escanor's head, mocking him. Escanor springs up and attacks Meliodas several times with his axe, which Meliodas deflects all of them. When Meliodas stop the axe with his hand, Escanor uses Cruel Sun, but Meliodas reflects it with Full Counter. Escanor manage to dodge the reflected magic. The sunsphere then explodes inside Perfect Cube

As Escanor looks around for Meliodas in the middle of the dust and fire, Lostvayne comes flying right at him. Escanor blocks it with Rhitta, at the same time that Meliodas Meliodas hits Escanor's hand with his kneecap, causing Escanor to drop the axe. Meliodas takes this chance to slice open Escanor's stomach, but is stopped due to the blade lodging into Escanor's flesh. Escanor takes Lostvayne and casually throws it away, then delivers a punch to Meliodas's face. Meliodas then returns the blow to Escanor's face, making him bounce around the Perfect Cube, and fall unconscious yet again. Meliodas praises Escanor, calling an impressive human.

As Meliodas takes his sword back, high noon comes, ableing Escanor to reach the peak of his power, entering into "The One" state. Meliodas surrounds himself with darkness and slash Escanor multiple times with Kami Chigiri, but Escanor remains unscathed. Unfazed by this, Meliodas then turns and charges Escanor once again. Escanor then uses Seiken Escanor, giving Meliodas a large gash across his chest with just his bare hand, almost splitting him in half. Greatly damaged, Meliodas stands and insults Escanor, but rapidly fall unconscious. Escanor claims victory.

Aftermath
Merlin then dispels Perfect Cube, and uses her Telekinesis to carry an unconscious Meliodas back to the Boar Hat. In the way, Escanor falls unconscious. According to Merlin, this is due to Escanor exerting himself in The One form and suddenly releasing too much power after not doing so for several long years.

Once in the Boar Hat, Merlin explains the terrible predicament they are in and the captain's situation. Meliodas suddenly wakes up, but Merlin quickly immobilizes him with a spell. She then attempts to encase Meliodas inside a Perfect Cube, only to have Elizabeth beg to be with him. Merlin seems reluctant at first, but then allows Elizabeth to be with him inside the Perfect Cube, only with the condition that Merlin keeps watch to be sure.
