Unlimited Melizabeth Works

The letter R is for... the word "Repetition".

―Meliodas failed another Elizabeth, he didn't managed to save the 107th one. The most incredible is that she didn't died from the Demons' hands neither and before the curse was even fully activated, she just speeded it up by sacrifing herself to keep him from absorbing the Commandments, to keep him from becoming the Demon King for her sake and just died in his arms. It was stupid to him, almost laughable if he had enough emotions to fake a laugh.

But he didn't felt like it, because it was not funny at all, on the contrary it was almost maddening. Indeed she managed to save the people possessed by the Archangels with her foster older sister in it too, but she just delayed everything, both sides could start it again sooner or later... yet with emotions or not, he didn't wanted to believe that she died meaninglessly.

Thanks to Ban's trip to the Purgatory, Meliodas was only able to gain back a small amount of his emotions, some has survived inside the Demon King's grasp and had yet been turned into power to feed that same one, yet this small amount was the only thing Ban successfully obtained after thousand of years of failure and defeats under the hand of the former leader of all Demons. Thankfully the Demon King didn't got resurrected otherwise it would be even more hard for them than now, but it didn't helped them either.

'If it were to become like that, then it would have been better for me to never have any emotions back.' He thought as he bites his lower lip in frustration as the memories started to replay in his mind; about how he swore to himself many times before to not let her die again, to break the curses put on them and he thought that he could finally success just a while ago―until all his plans are ruined by her of all people, as he held her dying body in his arms once again...

In the end, the only emotion he could taste now is pain, over and again it was pain, if not it was dark emotions linked to this pain. Of course he wasn't physically wounded, the pain was just inside of him.

All the bright emotions he received from her disappeared, all his attachment towards anything besides her disappeared along with it, when she disappeared from this world, everything became meaningless; wherever it was the Holy War, the Seven Deadly Sins, or anything else...

'Why Elizabeth? Just like you wished, I was about to finally end this curse, and yet why...?' He remembered about how he held her weak and cold body in his arms, she just weakly smiled and brushed gently his cheek with his hand and called him an idiot... he never managed to hear what she wanted to say after that, he should have accepted those words no matter how resentful they must have been.

But even after the faint feeling of those negative emotions passed, there was nothing left... of course Meliodas didn't even went back to the Sins after that, all of them keep on their separate ways; he was going to repeat what he tried formerly to save Elizabeth by becoming the Demon King while the Seven Deadly Sins would try to stop him doing so again.

They would keep on repeating the same cycle until one side had succeeded, even though their objectives weren't so different, just their ways of doing were different but also their time to do so... now that Meliodas already obtained all the Commandments and was waiting to find Elizabeth before absorbing them and finally put an end to their curse...

However Meliodas didn't expected for the Sins to have beat him to the action by finding Elizabeth before he does though, even though he send many Demons across all Britannia for the sake of even searching for her current location. Apparently one of the lesser Demon ran wild at the village the little girl was living at and she was saved at the right time by the Sins who came for her.

And since then she always traveled with the Sins, it explained strongly why all the ones he send to retrieve her never returned, they were all eliminated before they even could do so. He shouldn't have expected less from the knight squad he used to lead but being separated from them for so long must have affected his perception.
