As the group rests, Elizabeth praises King's power as he was able to defeat Guila single-handedly, whereas Meliodas, Ban, and Diane struggled, despite it being a 3 vs 1 battle. King responds that if either of them had their Sacred Treasures, they would have been able to defeat Guila in a breeze, which starts their search for the others' Sacred Treasures.
Under the guise of summons from Hendrickson, Jericho and Twigo are taken underground and offered power through drinking Demon's Blood, however if they're not compatible with the Demon Blood, they will die. The two accept this despite its risks and drink the demon's blood; Jericho is found compatible, and Twigo not.
Meanwhile, Meliodas and the others arrive at Vaizel for its annual fighting festival, whose grand prize this year is Gideon, Diane's Sacred Treasure.
