Existence and Proof
The Ten Commandments are in the process of recovering their magical powers and fly to the Kingdom of Edinburgh in the east. Meanwhile, Jericho is discovered following Ban and King on the journey to the Fairy King's Forest. In the forest, the fairy people call King a traitor because he left the Fairy King's Forest 700 years ago, his absence allowing the forest to be almost entirely destroyed, while Ban is called the new Fairy King because he planted the last Sacred Tree seed that Elaine entrusted to him. Diane and Elizabeth admit to each other their love for King and Meliodas respectively. Meanwhile Gowther, believing he needs to experience love, alters Guila's memories so she forgets Zeal is her brother and thinks Gowther is her boyfriend, while Zeal, who Gowther considers a barrier between himself and Guila, loses his entire memory. Gowthers manipulation of their memory enrages Diane and she attacks him without hesitation.
EP 3
Sacred Treasure Lostvayne
Diane defeats Gowther. The Ten Commandments discover the remains of a magical explosion and conclude it was caused by Meliodas. Gowther restores Guila’s memories. Merlin temporarily returns Gowther to his original form, a 6 inch tall wooden doll, and gives him to Slader for safekeeping. Sensing a magical disturbance Merlin transports the Boar Hat to Camelot which is being attacked by a giant Golem which Meliodas recognises as Albion, a magical weapon created by the Demon Clan, which awoke after it sensed the return of the Commandments. Meliodas breaks the sword he received from Liz so Merlin gives him back his sacred treasure, the sword Lostvayne, which she had retrieved from the pawn shop he sold it to. With Lostvayne returned Meliodas destroys the golem instantly. In the Fairy Kings Forest King and Jericho are surprised when the trees begin growing rapidly, which they realise is due to Ban feeding the forest with his blood which contains water from the Fountain of Youth, something the other fairies reveal he does every few years in honour of Elaine’s memory. The forest is suddenly attacked by another Albion Golem.
EP 4
The Ten Commandments on the Move
As the Golem begins destroying the forest King battles to protect the new Sacred Tree. Gerheade, the traditional servant of all past fairy kings, refuses to acknowledge Ban as king of the Fairies. She is surprised when Ban agrees with her, as he never wanted to be king. But, rather than let him leave the forest, she attacks him, knowing that he would risk himself to protect Elaine’s body and traps him, intending to use him as the new Fountain of Youth. King fails to stop the Golem and is injured while the Sacred Tree is destroyed for a second time. Gerheade prevents King from attacking the Golem while the other fairies rush to fight it, sacrificing themselves so King can escape, for as long as King is alive the forest will always grow again. King, however, refuses to flee, gaining strength from his desire to protect the forest, fairies, and even Ban he succeeds in transforming Chastiefol into its True Spirit Spear form and destroys the Golem. Back in Camelot as they recover from destroying the Golem they are attacked by Galand, one of the Ten Commandments, who is at least several times stronger than Meliodas.

Overwhelming Violence
Merlin notices that Galand’s magical abilities are still sealed away, giving hope they can defeat him. Ban uses his blood to restore the Sacred Tree and to heal King. Ban threatens to kill Gerheade if she ever tries to harm Elaine’s body again and then departs with Jericho, refusing King’s request to re-join the Sins. Galand easily overpowers both Meliodas and Diane. Merlin attempts to trick him with a lie, but Galand, who is the Commandment of Truth, cannot be lied to and Merlin is turned to stone. Meliodas is forced to unleash his demonic power. The other nine commandments realise that the magical energy once abundant in the earth has been absorbed into the souls of living beings, and by absorbing human souls; they can recover their magic.

Meliodas awakens in Camelot with everyone healed except for Merlin. Gowther had tampered with Galand’s memory so he believed he killed everybody. Merlin, who had transferred her soul into her sacred treasure, the magical crystal Aldan, explains that all the Sins combined have a combat level of 22,000, while Galand by himself had a level of 26,000. This means if the Commandments succeed in regaining their magic their combined combat level will be over 300,000. Meliodas decides to locate the final Sin, Escanor, the Lion’s Sin of Pride. King arrives wanting to see Diane, only to find Diane has amnesia and no longer remembers who anybody is, including King.
