Lancelot/Plot

Side Story 6
Lancelot approaches a human merchant who was trying to scam the forest fairies with false merchandise and tricks him by showing innocence and then beat him up when he tries to kidnap him.

When the other fairies ask him to play with them or go on an adventure, Lancelot prefers to patrol. Despite the fact that the fairies thank him for his work, Lancelot hears in the voice of their hearts that they think he is strange and that they do not understand humans. After making a spear with what he took from the merchandise, Lancelot is disposed of by what he heard destroying his surroundings, screaming as he despises the laziness of fairies. He then reproaches Ban for his lack of disposition as king and allowing the humans to fool the fairies. Despite accepting his father's apology, Lancelot leaves in shame after hearing when he is grateful for his help. There, Lancelot has a brief encounter with Jericho, who after worrying about the wound on his head, has thoughts about how cute Lancelot is, leading Lancelot to run off calling her a perverted guy.

After a night with his parents where Ban talks him about ale and Zhivago, Lancelot goes along them to check about the marcader that mysteriously vanished in the rain. Hearing Ban and Jericho talk about the rumors of humans disappearing all over Britannia, Lancelot asks him to let him help him, but Ban orders him to return home.

Upon awakening in the middle of the night, Lancelot decides to go out to investigate on his own, being found by Jericho. Lancelot asks if his father would praise him if he manages to solve the mystery alone, leading Jericho to decide to accompany him. When it starts to rain and a mysterious doorway is revealed in her, Lancelot hears a mysterious voice asking him to go with her. Despite Jericho's complaints, Lancelot insists on going so Jericho leaves through that entrance with him. This event caused both of them to disappear with their whereabouts unknown.

Three years after he went missing, Lancelot returned and at some point became affiliated with the kingdom of Liones. He was entrusted by the king with the mission of finding the prophesied Four Knights of the Apocalypse. In order to not be discovered by the forces of Camelot, Lancelot disguised himself by transforming into a pink-white talking fox named Sin.

Percival arc
Six years after his disappearance and transformation, Sin meets Percival when he comes ashore from God's Finger.

When Percival and Donny were about to be killed by Pellegarde, Sin arrives with Percival's things and uses an Incantation Orb to teleport them to Dragon Back-Bone, a mountain 30 miles from the town they were in. Sin then lets them know that he saved them, leaving Donny shocked to see a talking fox. Sin then reveals that Percival is one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, four Holy Knights prophesied to destroy the world, and that he was sent to find them. Percival denies being such a thing and that he only seeks to find his father, to which Sin tells him that he is in Camelot. Donny explains that Camelot is a kingdom that was destroyed during the war against demons 16 years ago, but Sin states that Camelot still exists but that to get there they must first go to Liones. Donny does not believe him, but Percival decides to go with Sin and convinces Donny to join them.

Echo Gorge arc
On the way to Liones, the trio decide to stop for a meal, which Percival suggests a competition to see who catches the biggest prey. Donny fails to capture any prey with the bow, earning Sin's taunts. In that, a scream after a lost arrow leads them to meet a young giant woman that surprises Sin for being a giant who worships Goddesses but not nature. When some fairies appear talking about a boy who got into the Echo Gorge, Donny tells them that it must be Percival. Fairies explain that Echo Gorge used to be beautiful but now it is hell.

After meeting with Percival and defeating the Holy Knight Talisker, Sin explains that he used a Chaos Staff that the king of Camelot gives to his knights. Sin reveals that he captured a prey that gives him the victory in their competition. After Nasiens joins the group, Sin says they need transportation to get to Liones, so Nasiens suggests going to Sistana to get it,

Sistana arc
When the group stops to eat, they discussing the events that Percival, Donny and Sin went through before meeting Nasiens. Donny berates Sin for not having used his only Incantation Orb to take them to Liones.

Upon reaching Sistana, a mini-golem leads them to find a piece of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness buried, surprising Sin for having searching properties.

At night, the four of them stay at an inn. Sin tries to explain what the Coffin of Eternal Darkness is, but is unable to finish because of Donny's interruption. They then spy on Ironside's speech to the townspeople, revealing that he owns the other pieces of the Coffin. Sin reveals to them that Ironside plans to kill everyone in town to activate the Coffin's magic. Sin suggests that they escape with the missing piece, but Percival sets out to save Anghalhad when she interrupts the speech. Nasiens, Sin and Donny run to the inn, but discover the maiden stealing the piece, actually being Ironside's familiar in disguise.

After the battle with Ironside, Sin arrives stating that his allies got rid of the monsters that Ironside had summoned throughout the town. When Donny and Nasiens ask him about it, Sin says they are his "forest friends", something only Percival believes to be true.

Cant arc
When the group is forced to stop for Sylvan to rest, Sin warns him that they will eat him that night if he keeps delaying them. Sin then shows a map of Britannia to see the next destination that he suggest to be Cant in order to get supplies to cross Dalflare Range. Anghalhad rejects that idea and demands to get to Liones as fast possible, but Sin says that they will die for sure if if they get into the mountain without preparation.

Arriving at Cant, Sin scolds everyone for being distracted and that they should first find a place to stay. Seeing that Anghalhad wasted all the money they had, Sin angrily yells at her. After she and Percival leave to retrieve the money, Sin goes "for a walk". Sin talks with Sylvan in tha stables about his mission of find the Four Knights and about his "true identity". Fleeing the chaos caused by the dragon, Sin tells Sylvan to go underground following Percival's magic.

Upon meeting Howzer, Anghalhad and Nasiens in the jails, Sin insults Howzer for how he treats Donny revealing that he did not steal the Dragon Handle but rather protected it from the enemy and has been helping him in his mission to protect Percival who is one of the prophesied Four Knights.

After Howzer takes care of the dragon, Sin goes with the others to rejoin the rest on the baby dragon's back.

Dalflare Range arc
When the group camps in the mountains, Sin is asked why the place is called the "Dark Range". Sin tells them that there are rumors about strange visions being had there, as well as human-eating ogres and dimensional caves from which there is no escape. That night, Sin dreams of a mysterious woman who knows his real name.

The next day they find a strange town where Sin feels a magical presence. However, he is forced to follow Percival and Donny when they enter the town. Sin suddenly appears, asking the Elder who he really is, if he is after Percival and the Dragon Handle, having also noticed the bird that he has been using to spy on them from Cant. Upon hearing Sin's name, the Elder decides go talk to him in private while the others make food for Donny and Percival. The Elder congratulates Sin on seeing who he really is, offering him space to rest after his journey.

Upon waking up from a nap, Sin instructs Percival in how to enchant his weapon with his magic to defeat Cernunnos.

When Gowther was in trouble after someone throws a spear to eliminate Percival, Sin eliminates the spybird with an arrow, Gowther thanks him, to which Sin says that he did not do it because he was his friend but that he owes him one that time for dispelling Ardbeg's magic that prevent him for entering the cave.

Leaving the town, Sin argues with Donny about staying with Gowther and insists that they hurry so their pursuers do not catch up. Upon breaking Ardbeg's Chaos Staff, Sin gets into a discussion with Anghalhad about his recent actions and whether he is really on their side, although they all agree that Sin always helped them in the end. This ultimately leads Anghalhad to gain motivation, to which SIn says that anger is a greater source of strength for humans than depression. Percival expresses how much he likes Sin, although he claims that he is not part of the group, Percival says that he likes having him around.

Upon reachin the Entangled Forest, Sin and then Anghalhad suggest to lure their pursuers there but the girl lacks of any idea of how to do it.

Entangled Forest arc
Sin formulates a plan to fool the Dark Talismans by using Percival's mini golems to separate them while they hide their presence using a circle of runes. When asked who taught him about the circle, Sin says the Fairy King. Sin states that they have no chance of defeating the Dark Talismans in a pitched battle, but if they split them up and go against one at a time, they will have a chance. Sin warns them to use all their power and knowledge and take advantage of the fact that the enemy will surely underestimate them.

During the battle against Elgin, Sin tells Percival and Nasiens to infuse their weapons with magic to prevent being affected by his Wither power. Sin also supports Anghalhad and Donny in their fight against Burgie and Doronach, instructing Anghalhad to separate Burgie from her magic staff to render her powerless, taking advantage of Doronach's power to achieve it, and explaining to Donny that his magic is actually Telekinesis, which allows him to move things freely instead of just making them float.

When Fiddich shows up and heals his teammates with an Incantation Orb, Sin and Percival manage to raise everyone's morale to continue fighting. However, the Dark Talismans decide to eliminate Sin first, locking the four with him in a Perfect Cube so that the others do not interfere. After suggesting who Sin really is, a familiar of the King of Liones, Fiddich offers a quick death in exchange for him telling them what they want. Sin suggests that they let his friends go in exchange for it, but Fiddich rejects the offer. Sin tells Percival that he can no longer accompany him before being attacked by the Dark Talismans. Sin evades the attacks and kills Elgin and Burgie by shooting arrows at their pressure points, stating that being willing to kill they should be prepared to die. After Doronach release his Impact magic, Sin returns to his true form and easily kills Doronach with a single punch. After Fiddich splits Doronach’s body in half, Sin (in his human form) expresses his disgust, saying that the knight had no mercy for his allies. When Fiddich demands to know who he is, “Sin” introduces himself as Lancelot.

Fiddich does not understand how he never heard his name if such a strong Holy Knight should be well known, to which Lancelot says that none of his opponents have survived to spread rumors about him. Fiddich thinks of the best way to defeat Lancelot by analyzing what he knows about him, not knowing that Lancelot actually reads his thoughts, who asks if he already finished his plan to eliminate him. Fiddich uses his power Haste to become much faster, but Lancelot manages to dodge each and every one of his attacks. Lancelot says it is a good warm-up after spending so much time as a fox. Fiddich tries to trick him with a feint and a kick, but Lancelot preempts him by kicking him in the leg. Trying to get some distance, Lancelot sweeps him away and sends him flying with a kick.

Lancelot asks if any of his companions are knights with a star-shaped visor. Fiddich says he does not know what he is talking about, but Lancelot finds out that he does know him but they are not close. Lancelot then asks if he knows where Dubs the giant craftsman is, confirming that he does not before Fiddich even answers, leading Fiddich to realize that Lancelot can read his mind. Fiddich decides to flee by undoing the Perfect Cube with an Absolute Cancel stored in another Incantation Orb, promising to let everyone in Camelot know about Lancelot. However, Lancelot uses Donny's knife to unleash Shining Road which completely destroys Fiddich. Lancelot reaffirms that no one who meets him in battle gets out alive.

Percival hugs Lancelot crying at how happy he is that he did not die. Lancelot reads his thoughts about how he could not help him as well as his grandfather. Lancelot reminds him that he is Lancelot, not Sin, and returns Donny's broken knife, promising to replace it in Liones. Anghalhad demands to know who he really is and why he disguised himself as a fox. Lancelot uses some arrows to make three graves for the deceased Elgin, Doronach and Burgie, explaining as he buries them that he is a servant of the King of Liones, sent in order to find the potential Four Knights of Apocalypse and bring them and their companions to the kingdom guiding and protecting them without interfering too much in order to see if the prophesied knights had the will to overcome the obstacles that came their way. Thus, he disguised himself as a fox so that the Holy Knights of Camelot would not discover him. Percival helps him bury the bodies and asks about the knight and giant he asked about earlier, to which Lancelot says it is an unrelated personal matter.

Lancelot leaves some seeds in the graves saying that the deceased could continue to exist as life in that forest. Nasiens asks, seeing that he has the ability to transform and read minds, if he is part of the Fairy Clan. Percival gets excited at the idea of him reading minds and to prove it, repeatedly thinks of the word "poop", to which Lancelot refuses to say, though Percival was in fact going to ask him how many times he had thought of that word.

When Pellegarde suddenly arrives, everyone is alarmed by his presence, but Lancelot says they do not have time to play with him. Pellegarde asks who he is, to which Lancelot says they are leaving, using an Incantation Orb to teleport away leaving Pellegarde with the words in the mouth. The group suddenly appears in the Kingdom of Liones, and Lancelot says that the king is waiting for them.

Chaos in Liones arc
After arriving, Lancelot guides Percival and his friends to the castle, requesting to see the king from the guards. The guards then reveal that Meliodas is not available, much to Lancelot's disappointment. He then suggests that they kill some time around the country, only to realize that Percival separated from the group.

Later, after Percival has been found by both his friends and the Tristan Platoon, Lancelot is revealed by Tristan to be a fellow member of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, along with himself and Percival. Tristan shows glad to see Lancelot and ask if he already meet the fourth member he brought, to wich Lancelot informs that the fourth member had fled the scene. Tristan asks why he ran away, to which Lancelot says he does not know and that the king charged everyone to "clean up the prince's mess". Lancelot orders Tristan's party and Percival's party to check the east and west gates while he himself checks the south gate. He also asks Tristan to tell them everything he knows about the fourth member. Tristan reveals to them that his name is Gawain and that he wears armor and has golden magic, despite knowing nothing else since he never took off his armor since he met him. Lancelot inquires that Tristan is hiding something else, which Tristan denies, though seeing Lancelot read his mind, he reveals that Gawain is a blood relative of King Arthur. Although Tristan is alarmed that this information will wreak havoc between them, Lancelot says that it is better to know in advance.

While reading the minds of the citizens, Lancelot is surprised by a girl who asks him what he is doing alone outside in the rain. Lancelot tells her to go away and that she will not grow up if she does not sleep well, when the girl repeats her words at the same time as him, Lancelot asks her if she read his mind, but the girl denies having such power, she only knew what he was going to say just like he knows his name. When Lancelot asks her how she knows, the girl declares that she is his lover and kisses him. Lancelot reacts annoyed, to which the girl says that he will be 16 when he is 20, and that it is their first kiss. Lancelot claims to have kissing experience, but the girl says that being kissed on the forehead by her teacher does not count. Lancelot insists that she reads his mind, but the girl says that she asked him many things, about his father and what his teacher did in the lake. Lancelot demands to know who she is and how she was able to "ask him things" if that is the first time they have met. A woman interrupts looking for the girl but before leaving, she reveals to Lancelot that her name is Guinevere and that they can see each other again before she leaves the kingdom, fearing she reveals to him where the person he is looking for is.

Lancelot appears in the form of Sin in the midst of Percival, Gawain, and Tristan's confrontation with Pellegarde, warning him that he is outmatched. Returning to his true form, Pellegarde wonders what exactly he is, understanding that he is the "boy with no fixed appearance" among the Four Knights of Apocalypse who are first assembled. As Lancelot discusses with Tristan and Gawain what to do with Pellegarde, to which Lancelot says that they should let him go, Percival decides to talk to him, giving him the opportunity to kidnap him, leaving the rest trapped in a Perfect Cube. Tristan berates Lancelot for not using his magic to stop him, to which Lancelot points out that he would have harmed Percival as well. Lancelot is shocked when Gawain uses Absolute Cancel to nullify the Perfect Cube. When Donny tells him that they must go for Percival, Lancelot decides to leave it to Tristan.

Lancelot is able to feel Pellegarde's magic presence going away and Percival's remaining along Tristan's and Gawain's for the relief of their companions. However, Lancelot also feels another weird magic that have been hiding behind Pellegarde's flashing spells. Alarmed, Lancelot rush to the castle saying to the others to wait there for the rest.

When Lancelot arrives to join Percival, Tristan, and Gawain against a revived Galand and Melascula, the latter senses Ban and Elaine's magic within him. When they ask who they are, Lancelot declares that they are the Four Knights of the Apocalypse who will crush the forces of Chaos. Lancelot manages to dodge Galand's attack and then watches as Gawain and Percival manage to defeat him.

In middle of the battle between Melascula and Tristan, Lancelot transforms into a dwarf-like fairy and asks Melascula where the one who came with her to Liones went. She does not mind her words, but Lacnelot manages to read her heart to find out that the star-visored knight has gone to the castle. Melascula appears to kill the fairy, but Lancelot manages to avoid her attack revealing to have read her thoughts that she was indiscriminately unprotected by his appearance. Returning to his true form, Lancelot reminds Melascula that she used to be a demon of the Ten Commandments, which causes interference with the brainwashing spell Arthur placed on her, causing Melascula to revert to her giant snake form due to the mental break. Lancelot says that would be a better way to fight a sorcerer type like her, and goes to the castle wishing his companions luck.

Lancelot arrives to the dungeon of the castle while Guila was freezed by Jericho. This one confirms than he is one of the prophetized Knights and ask if he comes to kill her as a teaitor, but Lancelot says that he will take her back to Benwick as family. Jericho prepare to kill Guila, when Lancelot rescue her and send his former teacher flying against a wall.

Upon leaving Guila in Jade and Chion's care, Lancelot follows Jericho into the cell of a prisoner. When Lancelot confronts her about why she is now with Camelot, Jericho reminds him of when they were spirited away during three years. Lancelot blame himself for drawing Jericho to that destiny, and assumes that Jericho left because she got tired of babysitting him. But then Jericho confess she fell in love with Lancelot during that time, and like those feelings were incompatible given their family-like relationship, she left. Lancelot confirms it by reading her toughts, and ask why is she reveling it now. Jericho says that is because that could be the last time they meet and ask to say sorry to Ban and Elaine.

Lancelot ask what does Camelot have to do with all that and Jericho reveals that Arthur gave her the world she wanted, a world where Lancelot would only love her and her alone, and in order to protect it she will fight Lancelot if she has to. Lancelot tries to convince her that Arthur is tricking her, but having already disposed off the prisoner, Jericho teleports away after pronouncing an enchanment. After checking that the prisoner was frozen to death, Lancelot shouts the name of Arthur with rage.

Lancelot returns to the outside to save Melidoas from being attacked from behind from Arthur, craking Arthur's sword and using its broken blade to use his Shining Road to stop Tristan's havock. Lancelot manages to make Arthur bleed and give him a quick, invisible punch to the face, telling Meliodas that he will take care of it from there. As Arthur wonders who Lancelot is, Lancelot surprises him with a kick in the back stating that he doesn't need to know his name as long as he knows he is Arthur. He manages to block the kick with his sword, asking what he did to earn Lancelot's hatred before delivering a devastating slash with his sword which Lancelot manages to dodge, admiring the qualities of the sword.

Lancelot reveals a set of teeth that he previously knocked out of Arthur. Seeing Arthur recover, Lancelot assumes that he regenerates with the power of Chaos, leading him to question why he is still wearing a prosthetic arm to replace the one that was eaten by a monster. When Arthur says that it is his punishment for his naivete and weakness, Lancelot reprimands him for using it as an excuse for losing. Arthur begins a sword attack on him calling Lancelot's youth ignorant, cruel and pitiful. However, in the end Lancelot ends up on top of him to everyone's astonishment.
