Last we left off Ban and King left set off on journey to the Fairy Kings forest and the day after that the Seven Deadly Sins were challenged by the Pleiades of the Azure Sky though Mikaela made them retreat by defeating Dogedo and soon after that an earthquake ran through Britannia and was sensed by everyone including Meliodas who was shocked due to him knowing who's responsible and not only that in an unknown place and unknown man sensed that earthquake too and set off to who knows where.

We cut to an unknown cave with ten people looking at Dreyfus or whoever is possessing him.

Melascula: Hey, Fraudrin is that a human body you're inhabiting by any chance?

Asked Melascula the demon possessing Dreyfus whose name was Fraudrin.

Fraudrin: Indeed, using it has been quite easy.

Gloxinia: How is it that were the only ones able to escape.

Fraudrin: Because I didn't have enough blood from the apostle of the godesses to break the seal. My apologies.

Derieri: That's the bottom line, huh? Not much there.

Monspiet: In other words, you're saying that the presence of the godess, giant, and fairy races is barely detectable?

Fraudrin: During the war three thousand years ago, they ended up losing most of their power, as we did; essentially, it's the humans who rule Britannia now.

Melascula: My goodness. So the most short lived fragile and hapless of the five races is in control.

That's when Galand chimed in 

Galand: Hey, you were the only one who escaped the seal, right? What have you been doing all this time?

Fraudrin: I've had a lot of things to sort out; I've only been self-aware  ten years. And there was this meddlesome group called the Seven Deadly Sins standing in my way.

Zeldris: Meliodas, right?

Fraudrin: Not just him. While you were sealed away a new race was borne.

Zeldris: Oh?

Melascula: And what race would that be?

Fraudrin: It's the most disgusting race of all, a race that shouldn't exist at all—the Nephilim race, with its only member being Mikaela, the son of Meliodas.

Said Fraudrin completely and utterly shocking the everyone while at the same time causing Estarossa to smirk and Zeldris to narrow his eyes and clench his fist.

Estarossa: Oh?

Grayroad: Did I hear you correctly? Did you just say that Meliodas has son now?

Fraudrin: I did.

Zeldris: What can you tell us about this, Mikaela?

Fraudrin: Right now, he's not much; any of us could defeat him, but what scares me the most is his potential.

Drole: What about his potential scares you?

Fraudrin: The fact that it's greater than Meliodas's and is comparable to, if not greater than, his potential.

Said Fraudrin in a serious tone which shocked them further because they understood who Fraudrin was talking about.

Grayroad: A-are you serious?

Fraudrin: Yes. I've fought the boy myself before so I know what I'm talking about.

Monspiet: Well, this complicate things.

Melascula: If what Fraudrin is saying is true, then we must deal with that brat before he gets the chance to grow.

Zeldris: We will deal with him in time, but for now, our first priority should be getting some rest. The long-term effects of the godess's seal seem to have depleted our magical powers.
