Elaine, the Fox's Sin of Greed

Pain and Revelation

Chapter 8

A heavy metal spike violently pierces through the skin of the female young prisoner's shoulder and hands, and she screamed loudly in pain. Then another one pierced her leg and a knee too, further injuring her in great pain and agony which then further squeezed through deeper to lengthen the girl's suffering. The female young prisoner is revealed to be little girl of golden hair and eyes wearing a tattered and bloodied prisoner garb.

Such method of torture was so brutal that none of the prisoners may have survived that even for that long or too much used on a young girl but this was no ordinary prisoner.

Her name is Elaine, the Fox's Sin of Greed of the Seven Deadly Sins. Also known as the 'Undead Fairy' due to her immortality she took from the Fountain of Youth's waters meant for Ban and the 'Lady Sword of the Wind' for her graceful and elegant skill of the sword with her Strike Air power and Sacred Treasure, Holy Greatsword: Hadhafang.

And as of now, Elaine was tortured to no end by Holy Knight Jude, a member of the Weird Fangs within a heavily secured cell of Baste Dungeon itself after she got captured by the same order of four brutal and deadly Holy Knights 5 years ago since the disbandment of the Seven Deadly Sins which all started with the discovery of the murder of Great Holy Knight Zaratras and the betrayal by the Holy Knights of Liones who relentlessly hunted them down.

The Holy Knight responsible for the immortal fairy's torture wore black full body armor with a unique helm that has metal vines covering his face showing a red glowing menacing eye, and his shoulder plates have a large spike on each of them. On his left hand Jude wields a spiked shield that has a rose insignia carved onto the surface of it.

"That's right... Fox's Sin of Greed. Feel such agonizing and dreadful pain coursing through you... I'm surprised for a Fairy like you to endure such extreme torture for 5 years since we captured you...", Jude said in a sullen but malicious tone after finishing piercing more of the spikes he produced from his Spiked Shield he carried around on the immortal fairy and then left the cell, seeing that his time limit is done... for now.

Now left alone in her cell, Elaine coughed up more blood and cursed the extreme pain she felt in courtesy of Holy Knight Jude. She couldn't even speak due to the iron clamp on her mouth, impeding her ability to talk but scream from every torture Jude gave her that satisfied his sadistic ego of his.

Damn you Holy Knight Jude! Was that really necessary to torture me needlessly?! You're one of the worst bunch of humans I despised most thanks to you!...Have the Holy Knights really sunk this low for the past ten years?..., the Fox's Sin of Greed mentally cursed in her thoughts.

Recalling back in her past ten years ago, Elaine began to recollect on how did all of the events happen before leading her to become captured and tortured by the Weird Fangs in the first place...

Ten years ago at the Liones Kingdom capital during the National Foundation Day

At the capital of Liones where the citizens of the kingdom celebrated the national holiday of their country in a form of a grand display of fireworks, there was a large castle in the middle of the outskirts of the capital city.

Within in are the Seven Deadly Sins, themselves all garbed in their respective full body armor and unique helms with the exception of Meliodas, Diane and Elaine who took their helms off. And the legendary group of knights walked in the old castle's hallway as they discuss among themselves along the way while some remained quiet throughout the whole conversation.

"Lord Great Holy Knight said that he had something important matter to discuss...", Gowther in his violet giant armor said emotionlessly in a booming voice.
