《The Eight Deadly Sins》Chapter 16
Advertisement
It had been a few days that the sins have been traveling towards Corand for a few days, Elizabeth had stayed in bed for the whole time, with Meliodas staying by her side for the entire time. Ban was feeling guilt for what he said to Meliodas, even Diane felt tones of gilt for trying to help Elizabeth get her memories back. The sins were now at the entrance of Corand.
"we're finally arrived..." Meliodas said, "the City Stronghold Corand, well then," Meliodas turned to the sins, "let's all get out there, dispel that dimensional distortion, and enter Camelot."
"Captain?" Escanor said, "there is someone standing on the bridge leading into the city."
Meliodas looked and saw someone that filled him with rage, "have come for Elizabeth's sake?" the man said as the man reviled to be Zeldris, "If so, then that means she's still alive... what a stubbornly resilient woman."
"Why is he here?" Melrin said.
"CAPTAIN ITS A TRAP," (Y/N) yelled as Meliodas leaped towards Zeldris.
"Wake up already and stop being imprisoned by that woman," Zeldris said.
"CAPTAIN," the sins yelled apart from Merlin and (Y/N), as Meliodas swinging Lostvayne at Zeldris as his demon mark appeared on his forehead cutting him into two, creating the entrance of the castle explode launching debris in the direction of Camelot.
"THE DIBRIS IS FLYING EVERYWHERE," Diane yelled.
"Like shooting stars," King added seeing their direction "THIS IS BAD, CAMELOT IS IN THAT DIRECTION."
"don't worry about it," Merlin said confusing King, as the rocks flew, they reached the barrier disappearing in a blink of an eye, "that is a dimensional distortion, it's rather annoying barrier that won't allow anything to invade Camelot..."
(Y/N) looked over to Meliodas seeing the body that he had hit, faded turning into a skeleton, only for darkness to emerge from the cracks of the ground surrounding Meliodas.
"Captain," Ban said, "that technique... it's Melascula," as the sins stot of to Meliodas, only for them to be a little late in trying to grab the darkness, "DAMN IT."
"They kidnapped the captain," Diane said, "what do we do now?"
"don't worry," (Y/N) said, "the captain hasn't gotten far, I can sense his magic.
"What is this?" King said seeing lots of skeleton remains everywhere.
"BUGOH, THERE ARE SKELETONS EVERYWHERE," Hawk yelled.
"y-y-you don't think these are the people who died in the great massacre in Corand, right?" Escanor asked.
"Roughly 1000 bodies here," Gowther said as the bones began to move forming skeleton.
"BUGYAAAA/EEEEK" Hawks and Escanor screamed seeing the dead come to life.
"They started to move," King said.
"Is this kind of like my golems?" Diane asked.
"Unlike your golems, these guys are filled with to the brim with hostility," Gowther said.
"a spell that utilizes the grudges they bore when they die..." Merlin said, "Vengeful Resurrection."
As one went to punch ban only for there to be no effect, "that's cool and all, but..." Ban said back handing the skeleton smashing its skull, "do they seriously think they could slow us down with this trash? LET'S GO GUYS," He yells as the sins kill the skeletons one by one, "LET'S SMASH THAT DISTORTION AND SNATCH OUR CAPTAIN."
As the sins pushed (Y/N) in his super saiyan form noticed how that it was becoming harder for them to kill the skeletons.
"They're... transforming?" Diane said.
"Interesting, their offensive and defensive power, and their resistance to magic, are increasing at an incredible rate," Merlin said.

"And from this power I can sense, it is the captain's power," (Y/N) said as he pushed further in going into his SSJ2 form cutting away at the skeletons, with some landing a hit causing bruising to appear, only for them to disappear with every slash of Ragespike. Eventually the sins had cut down the skeletons to one remaining.
"We powered up big time, didn't we? Heheeeh," Diane said.
"Come on you swines, there is only one left," Hawk yelled, as the skeleton let of a burst of power.
"What and incredible power," Diane said.
"It can't be... Is all the energy of the defeated spirits flowing into that one?" King said.
"So, the power of the captain in one skeleton?" (Y/N) said, as the skeleton seemed to be expanding.
"there's no way it would be able to handle all of that..." Merlin said, "the immense magic power of the one who was once called the next demon king," as the skeleton exploded into a million pieces, "don't underestimate our captain."
As the remains became dust Hawk walked up to the pile of bones hitting the bones with his hooves, "your judgement has been carried out, all monsters are weaklings before me."
Just then Merlin sensed something, "EVERYONE FOCUSE AND HOLD FIRMLY TO YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS, IT'S TRYING TO POSSESS US."
(Y/N) felt as if his soul was being ripped out of his body and being replaced with another.
"Hey, guys," Diane said as (Y/N) looked at her seeing blood coming out of her eyes, "can I kill them?"
"DIANE PLEASE STOP THIS," King yelled, "YOU'RE NOT YOURSELF RIGHT NOW."
Diane started to laugh spinning her hammer behind her while performing Drole's dance, making everyone get out of the way.
"It seems this is different from normal hypnosis induced state of delirium," Merlin said, "that's not Melascula's magic... it looks like the vengeful souls of the people killed in the massacre are possessing her."
"This is a seriously bad situation," Ban said, "how are we supposed to defeat something like that?"
Diane swung her hammer down at king as he avoided the attack, "I HAVE NO IDEA," King said, "BUT WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING,"
"Each of us will need to go at this with the intent to more-or-less kill her," Merlin said, "if you try to hold back against Diane the way she is now, it'll cost you dearly."
"What the hell does, more-or-less mean?" Ban said, "don't think badly of me for this Diane."
"EVERYONE WAIT," King yelled getting in the others way, "EVEN IF YOU HURT DIANE, IT WON'T BRING DOWN THE VENGEFUL GRUDGES THAT ARE POSSESSING HER."
Gowther had a look at Diane current power level, "Total power level... 48,000," Gowther said, "KING GET AWAY FROM THERE."
"DIANE," King called out, "DON'T LET YOURSELF BE SWALLOWED BY THAT HATRED, YOUR HEART IS WAY STRONGER THAN THAT,"
Diane then kicked King, only for (Y/N) to have been in the way, "Focuses King, we are unable to call out to her," (Y/N) said, giving Gowther an idea as he used invasion to enter her mind, only for him to be launched out a second later, as Diane hit gowther into a building.
"That body belongs to one of my precious team-mates," Gowther said rising from the rubble, "I won't let you all do whatever you want with it."
"What every we want...?" Diane said, "did you say... whatever we want? Like this." as Diane hit her head with the hammer.

"STOP," Gowther yelled, as Ban used Snatch to remove the hammer from her head.
"What have you done?" Diane said, only to look and see a floating helmet, "your,"
"she's acting strangely," Gowther said.
"You're telling me?" (Y/N) added, before coughing.
The helmet floated closer to Diane, "you... you're that fairy... from back then... I remember you... you killed us," only for her to crush it with extreme force, before dropping the crushed helmet.
"that's odd the presence is disappearing," Gowther said.
"No," (Y/N) said, "not yet, there are still some that remaining."
"Was that supposed to be enough to fulfil my vengeance?" Diane said very angerly as she spun her hammer around only for a gust of powerful wind knocked her off balance, as (Y/N) sensed a familiar power strike Diane pushing the darkness out of her. "Why did you... come here...?" Diane said free from the spirits control, "for the sake... of someone like me?" seeing both Elizabeth and Elaine standing there.
"Because you are my precious friend..." Elizabeth said, "is that so wrong?" she then started to heal the wounds of King and Dinae.
"What are you doing...?" Ban said holding Elaine, "pushing yourself like this."
"I couldn't help it..." Elaine replied, "I was so worried about you and everyone else..."
"Anyways, hurry up and head back," Ban said, only for Elaine to avoid the request and turn to Elizabeth.
"That was truly an unbelievable amount of magic power," Elaine said, "are you really actually were... a true goddess, which Elizabeth are you now?"
"Right now. I am Elizabeth of the goddess race..." Elizabeth said, "but I am also Elizabeth, the princess of Liones," she then turned to Merlin, "Merlin... where is Meliodas now?" only for her not to respond.
"Merlin?" Gowther said, "the princess asked you a question... Merlin?"
As Elizabeth got closer to the mage, "I could hardly even recognize you, I can't believe you've gotten so beautiful, you really have become a full-grown woman..."
"y... Yes," was all that Melin could say.
"what's happening...?" Diane asked, "merlin's acting kind of... strange."
"Wait for it," (Y/N) said.
"I don't suppose..." Elizabeth said, "you could call me 'big sis sis' like you used to back then?" making Merlin go completely shocked.
"BIG SIS SIS?" the sins yelled while (Y/N) was laughing at Merlin's expense.
"You used to look up to me as if I were your real big sister, didn't you?" Elizabeth said.
"wh... what are you talking about here?" Merlin said.
"You were around 12 or 13 years old, don't you remember?"
"Merlin, the Merlin? Acted like that?" Diane said.
"Did she say... big sis sis," King said.
"princess Elizabeth..." Escanor said, "if you wouldn't mind, I would love to hear more about that story..."
"don't go needlessly prying," Merlin said.
"Like you did to me," (Y/N) said.
"Fire is that you?" Elizabeth said.
"Yep, is me," (Y/N) responded.
"Pardon me for intruding your little chit-chat..." a voice called out.
"You..." Ban said seeing Melascula, "the ten commandments, Melascula of faith."
Melascula looked at Elizabeth, "the one who stole Meliodas' heart, manipulated him and made him betray us... and dealt a fatal blow to the demon race... the loathsome goddess, Elizabeth... and those audacious enough to defy us... the eight deadly sins... and what is this...? The little half dead fairy girl whom I granted temporary life too has even come along...?"
"What about me?" Hawk said.
"I, Melascula of faith," Melascula said as she started to transform, "in the place of the demon king, shall judge thee for thy sins," as she became a giant snake, "it's not very charming, so I try to avoid using this form.
"it's an improvement I give you that," (Y/N) said.
"Yeah," Ban said.
Melascula lunged at Ban and (Y/N), (Y/N) managed to jump out the way, but Ban wasn't so lucky.
"BAN," Elaine yelled.
"We'll start with you Ban," Melascula said, "because of you, six of my hearts were destroyed... and my jay got messed up to the point that I can't even bite right... it's the absolute worst," as Ban was struggling to get out of Melascula mouth, but still preventing from being eaten, "so to pay you back, I'll trap you within my stomach, there, you'll be broken down by my digestive fluids, regenerate, and then through that over and over again, for the rest of your life... I'll make you regret becoming immortal."
"BAN," Elaine yelled flying after the two, "LET BAN GO,"
"STAY BACK ELAINE," Ban yelled, as Elaine used the wind to strike Melascula, only for it to be ineffective being hit by Melascula tail.
"Look out," Diane said catching Elaine.
"ELAINE STOP IT," Ban yelled, "DON'T PUSH YOURSELF WITH YOUR BODY LIKE THAT ANYMORE."
"it's just like Ban says, leave this to us," King said.
"don't push myself...? If not now... then when?" Elaine said, before shooting off to Ban, "ban has always been the one that is protecting me, but I... want to protect you too," as her body began to glow.
"Fool... with your power, you can't take your lover back from me," Melascula said mockingly. "While you bite your teeth at your own powerlessness, witness as your lover gets bitten into himself..." only for Melascula to find that Ban was no longer in her mouth.
"King, look at that form," Diane said.
"It can't be," King said.
"Magic power 18,000, strength 50, spirt 3,000," Hawk said reading a power level, "total power level, 21,050?"
"Her feelings for the one she loves was turned into strength and changed her form..." Elizabeth said, "it's so beautiful..."
"It is," (Y/N) said.
"Elaine," ban said seeing Elaine's wings now fully grown, as a smile grew on Ban's face, "you idiot... you've been the one that saved me, thank you."
"How dare you snatch my prey away," Melascula said, "little cheeky, impertinent girl... fine then to hell with the planned order... I just kill you all," as the ground began to shake as the temple in the centre of the city began to fall apart.
"What is this surge of evil....?" gowther said.
"it's almost the same as..." (Y/N) said.
"Meliodas," Elizabeth said finishing (Y/N) sentence, as the building exploded apart.
"It...it can't be, this is impossible, that was the dark cocoon of darkness, not even one of the ten commandments could have broken out," Melascula said shaking in fear, "not even Zeldris, unless he was using the demon king's power, could have destroyed it."
"Answer my will..." Escanor said, "Divine axe Rhitta," jumping in the air as Rhitta flew into Esconor's hand as he landed near Meliodas.
"ESCAONOR, IN THAT STATE THE CAPTAIN IS EVEN TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO HANDLE," Merlin yelled.
"Do not worry...," Escanor said, "although you might not expect it from my looks, baby-sitting happens to be my speciality," as he walked closer to Meliodas, "now this just may have a strange effect."

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!
