Chapter 608

With Escanor's departure, the people of Ishgar all breathed a sigh of relief, for with Escanor present, the pressure bearing down on them had been immense.

After all, Escanor had killed right before their eyes the Jialan whom they could not defeat even with all their strength; to the people of Ishgar, this made him a terrifying existence on par with the Black Dragon Acnologia.

Or rather, a terrifying existence countless times more dreadful than the Black Dragon Acnologia, because the Black Dragon Acnologia was still a foe that could be overcome.

But to the people of Ishgar, Escanor was the kind of existence they could not possibly defeat at all, so when facing Escanor, the people of Ishgar were all somewhat panicked.

However, upon discovering that Escanor was merely a rather arrogant but still easygoing person, the people of Ishgar were also slightly reassured.

After seeing Escanor finally leave, they were at last able to set their minds at ease, and looking at Hitsugaya Toushirou, they had quite a few questions in their hearts.

"Toushirou, what did Escanor mean when he said Estarossa wants to obtain the power of all the Commandments? Do you know anything about it?"

"I've heard something of it. They say the Demon Clan was not sealed just once, but rather, countless years ago, they were sealed once by a race called the Goddess Clan."

"And during that first sealing, the Holy Knights known as the Seven Deadly Sins only turned against them because of Meliodas's betrayal."

"Under the Goddess Clan's assault, the Demon Clan was ultimately sealed away, but the Goddess Clan, because of that sealing, vanished completely from this world."

"Yet after only a few hundred years, the Demon Clan broke through that first seal and descended upon this world once more. By then, Meliodas had already led the Seven Deadly Sins and cooperated with us Reapers."

"At that time, the members of the Ten Commandments were exactly as we see them now, but for some unknown reason, Estarossa, who originally belonged to the Ten Commandments, began to betray the Demon Clan and started collecting the power of the Commandments from the Demon Clan's hands."

"In the end, with the help of a mysterious race called the Goddess Clan, the Demon Clan was sealed once more, and sealed alongside them was Estarossa, stripped of his power."

"But this time, for some unknown reason, after leaving the seal, Estarossa regained the power of the Commandments, and it seems Estarossa's identity is that of one of the Goddess Clan's traitors."
