The Demon's Lover (Meliodas)

Chapter 46

"I don't know how you were able to reclaim your sanity... But it seems you've returned to your original form. And... The fact that you've come here means.. I see.. That strange being there has led you here... So, it seems you've realized the existence of this door"

Wild launches at the Demon King only the demon to grab him and squeeze him, crushing Wild within an instant kill.

"Wild!" Ayano shouts

"Damn it!" Meliodas shouts

The Demon King swings his giant blade at them and they jump away.

"How sad this truly is.. Ayano I thought you understood the plan perfectly"

"You can't take away Meliodas's emotions!" Ayano shouts "he's not my Meliodas without it"

"You're too kind hearted"

"You took Hawk away from his brother without a care in the world!" Ayano shouts "Wild was only trying to get him back and you took his life without a second thought!"

"We are demons Princess, we kill and take what's ours! You understand that! Just like how you repeated kill the goddess Elizabeth to take Meliodas back after 3 days of her returned memories!"

"W-what?" Meliodas looks at her "Ayano.. you cause her death.. every time"

"...yes" Ayano admits "the first time she reincarnated I was the one that pushed her off.. into the wooden log that pieced through her chest.. and every death that followed.. was my doing"

"As was your job!"

"A job I no longer want!" Ayano argues "I relentlessly killed my aunt over and over without question!"

Meliodas walks up and wraps his arms around her "it's ok, we're gonna put an end to this, you don't have to do it anymore"

"Yes you will, it is your duty!"

"No!" Ayano's eyes glow red

Meliodas and Ban suddenly feel all power and energy drain from their bodies, and they fall to the ground.

"W-what's happening?" Ban questions

"Ayano.. be careful" Meliodas holds himself up

Ayano spreads her wings and she flies up. Meliodas and Ban watches as she battles with the demon king. Ayano's sword, the Holy Sword LaLuna had grown to full size and was equally matched with the blade of the Demon kings.

"Cap'n we have to help" Ban tries to get up

"We are, by staying here" Meliodas tells him "she's using our power to help her fight, out of the three of us right now.. she stands a better chance"

"Loving my son as he was has become your weakness, just like him, you've grown attached to these pathetic life forms"

"Those pathetic life forms are the ones who have developed magical powers on their own" Ayano argues "right now they may be weak but with each generation they will get stronger.. take us for example"

"how- AHHH" 

LaLuna had peirced into the demon king's eye. Ayano pulls her sword out and he puts his hand over his eye.

"hmph, you're losing your touch old man, just sit back and let nature take it's course. Don't forget what happened 2000 years ago" Ayano smirks "I am the Demon Queen"

The Demon King swipes at her and she dodges. LaLuna glows white and she flies down at a great speed cutting off his arm in the process. The demon king shouts in pain and begins to regenerate his arm.
