Fights and Events

 * King vs. Helbram

Long Summary
Helbram, pointing his sword towards King's neck, greets his opponent, addressing him with his real name, "Herlequin", and questioning him about his bewildered expression. Geera and Jericho immediately state their readiness to support Helbram, which he declines. He instead instructs them to recover the target, and again questions King's nervous expression, commenting him to be a coward. The Fairy King, who is in his "adult" appearance, bewilderedly questions Helbram as to how the latter is alive. Helbram dodges the question, and King expresses his confidence in his power; as he notices an undamaged Chastiefol behind him, Helbram predicts King's thought to not underestimate Chastiefol, and comments on the Spirit Spear's ability to regenerate so quickly. However, he then easily kicks King away, while simultaneously blocking Chastiefol with his sword. King stops his fall with his levitation abilities, has Chastiefol spin, and releases it towards his opponent. Helbram, however, grabs Chastiefol, stopping the attack, without much effort, much to King's astonish, headbutts King, and throws Chastiefol behind.

As he walks towards King, Helbram comments on King's stamina, which is below human level, on his pathetic fight in the Fight Festival, and predicts King's frantic thought of his powers not working. King changes Chastiefol's form to that of "Increase", and attacks Helbram with the numerous small blades, with the Holy Knight stops in mid air by raising his arms. As Helbram slashes King in the chest, King frantically has one of his small blades hit Helbram's head, which removes his helm. Immediately retreating, Helbram then addresses King as "old friend" in his subsequent statements.

Later, Ban order Griamor while taking Veronica hostage, that he will set both Meliodas and Elizabeth free from they trap, but then Jericho came and cut Ban down which set Veronica free. Geera then order Griamor to set Elizabeth free and she was about to take Elizabeth to the kingdom but Veronica stopped her and told her that Geera mission was to get the sealed Meliodas and his sword, while Veronica take Elizabeth back, but Geera draw her sword against the two princesses and told them that the title of "princess" means nothing anymore to the Holy Knights and Hendricksen told them that they could bring Elizabeth back dead or alive. Griamor then used Wall on Geera and Jericho to trap them, when Geera used her ability to blow up Wall, it didn't work and Elizabeth start running away when they were not looking. Veronica ran away her, but it turns out that Geera planned "Killer Mine" on the field which was activated and it blow up, when the smoke was clear, it was revealed that Veronica protected Elizabeth by blocking the blast with her body.
