Chapter 250

is the 250th chapter of the manga, Nanatsu no Taizai.

Short Summary
Zeldris continues to clash with Ludociel above the clouds. Meanwhile, the Sins go to Camelot to help save the trapped citizens, where they meet back up with Elizabeth.

Long Summary
The Sins questions what that explosion of magic was and wonder if it was Merlin. Merlin then teleports in front of the Sins and tells them to get inside of the Boar Hat. As Escanor expresses his relief in her being okay, King asks Merlin what happened. Merlin explains that one of the Four Archangels sensed Zeldris's presence from far away and launched an attack. Diane then figures out Merlin taunted Zeldris on purpose so he'd get hit and Merlin confirms she did before teleporting the Sins to Camelot. At the Sky Palace, Ludociel notes that Margaret was an excellent choice for a vessel and says it'll soon be under his control, much to the shock of Gilthunder. Hendrickson, in awe, exclaims that the attack was like the light of God and asserts that with this, the citizens no longer have to fear the Demons.

When Dreyfus tells him to get a hold of himself, Hendrickson asks why he looks so nervous. Dreyfus then asks if Hendrickson wants those two to suffer even more and that is when Hendrickson notices Gilthunder yelling for Ludociel to give Margaret back. Dispersing Ludociel's attack and bleeding from the mouth, Zeldris realises that the Four Archangels have been revived before raising his sword and conjuring Dies Irae. A circle of darkness appears above the Sky Palace and a bolt of lightning made of darkness comes down, destroying the Sky Palace entirely. At Camelot, Chandler questions who's making such a ruckus above the sky before also hearing a ruckus in the kingdom as the people released from Zeldris's Commandment of Piety panic about being in a place full of Demons. Chandler then witnesses Meliodas shout for Elizabeth out of a window and him telling her to come back.

Realising this is the chance he's been waiting for, Chandler apologises to Meliodas but asserts that this is for his own good and takes off the fat of his cheeks, which turn into winged demons, calling them his Split Tama and orders them to go after Elizabeth. Meanwhile, the Boar Hat appears above Camelot and Merlin explains that the masses have been released by Zeldris's Commandment and the other Demons have been ordered not to hurt them but since their deal fell through, it's only a matter of time until Zeldris gives the order. Hawk and Escanor try getting the fleeing masses to stop but they don't listen. Diane, in her Giant form, appears and threatens to eat them, causing the masses to freeze in fear. Merlin then uses Teleport to send them away to Liones and King helps gather the masses using Fourth Form: Sunflower 's roots. Elizabeth spots the Sins and calls out to them. Diane greets her back, only to see one of Chandler's Split Tama behind Elizabeth.

She yells at her to look out and Elizabeth turns around, only for one to swing one of his wings and cut Elizabeth across the forehead, also cutting her fringe off. Angered, Diane grabs Elizabeth and stomps on both the Split Tama. Diane asks if Elizabeth is okay and as the Princess heals her wound, Merlin tells Diane it's time they go. As soon as the Boar Hat disappears, Chandler appears and reabsorbs his Split Tama, disappointed he couldn't kill Elizabeth but at the very least, she won't be hanging around Meliodas. Inside the Boar Hat, Elizabeth informs the Sins that Meliodas is getting his brothers to gather the Commandments so he can become Demon King and she wants to stop him. Diane points out he's only doing it for her but Elizabeth still wants to stop him as they'll never see him again if he does become Demon King. Crying, Diane points out that Elizabeth may die but Elizabeth is content with that. Hugging Diane, she asks her to continue being friends with her next reincarnation. Elizabeth then vows to stop Meliodas, no matter what it takes.
