Long Synopsis
As soon as Meliodas discovered the locations of the Fox's Sin of Greed, Ban, and the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth, King, from Gilthunder, he stood back. He easily and swiftly dodged Gilthunder's attacks, attempting to quickly escape the battle and search for the Seven Deadly Sins. When Gilthunder was about to deliver his finishing blow, Diane grabbed him with her hands and threw him away after her armband was burnt by Gilthunder's discharge of lightning. The Holy Knight flew into a chapel and injured priests and civilians who were praying to bring divine retribution to the Holy Knights. He remained unscathed and ignored the people who was wounded around him.

After Gilthunder was thrown away, Meliodas and his group began travelling on Hawk's Mother and discussing where they should head. In the end, they decided to go to the Baste Dungeon because it was closer, even though the Weird Fangs were stationed there. Elizabeth grew concerned over Meliodas' wound from Gilthunder, however, he tried to reassure her that he was fine. He entered the Boar Hat and was then discovered by Elizabeth, to have fainted on the floor.

At the Baste Dungeon, the Weird Fangs are revealed to be located there in order to keep Ban confined. Ban began humming a tune, even with metal rods pierced into his body.
