Chapter 557

"Just how powerful are the Seven Deadly Sins..."

Princess Emerald and Alcardius watched the ever-growing sun fireball.

The shock on their faces had not diminished in the slightest, despite Marin's magic blocking the heat.

But the awe before their eyes had not vanished at all because of the reduced heat.

Elsewhere, in the battle between Jerudris and Meliodas.

"Bang!"

Jerudris struck out fiercely, blasting Meliodas's body along with it into the ground.

Struck into the ground like a cannonball, the instant Meliodas's body touched the ground.

It immediately began to splinter apart, and the ground began to crumble ceaselessly.

"Traitor of the Demon Clan, you trash."

Looking at his own elder brother whom he had once deeply respected, a flash of anger passed through Jerudris's eyes.

The man before him had once been someone Jerudris deeply respected, but ever since Meliodas betrayed them.

He no longer held any respect for the man before him—in fact, there was only bone-deep hatred.

"Hm?"

Jerudris's brow furrowed slightly; he had originally intended to leave.

Suddenly he sensed a familiar presence, and after the dust on the ground cleared.

Jerudris's pupils began to violently tremble.

The clothing on Meliodas's upper body had all shattered, and the tattoo that had originally only been on his forehead began to spread across his entire body.

His pupils further turned pure black, as if all reason had left him.

The demon mark on his face also further spread across his entire body, and an evil, eerie aura began to linger around Meliodas.

"Hmph, I thought you'd forgotten the power of your own origin."

"But what right does a traitor like you have to wield this power!"

Jerudris glanced at Meliodas with some wariness, and as the short sword in his hand swung.

His magic began to surge wildly and without restraint; facing a Meliodas who had already revealed some of his strength, Jerudris still did not dare to be careless.

Although the traitor before him was his own elder brother, there was no doubt that.

Meliodas's strength was extremely formidable—even at his own peak back then, he could not have defeated Meliodas.

As the Demon King's finest heir, this was not something that mere talent alone could represent.

More of it came from the proof of the fear Meliodas had given the Ten Commandments, or the entire Demon Clan.

"Clang!"

Jerudris's blade collided with the black magic on Meliodas's body.

The black magic, controlled by Meliodas, very quickly transformed into a black blade.

Even harder than the holy weapon he had used before.

When the two sides clashed, the battle once again became deadlocked.

"Ominous Star Nebula!"

Jerudris roared, and in a state of extreme focus, accelerated the darkness within his body to swirl around himself.

Forming a powerful gravitational force that drew in living things, it instantly pulled at Meliodas's figure.

As he moved rapidly, Meliodas's form floating in midair also began to be affected.

He flew swiftly toward Jerudris's direction.

The instant their two bodies overlapped, the energy of Ominous Star Nebula erupted instantly.
