"Shit, I can't trace Ellie's scent." said Hawk.

"Dammit. I'll kill you bastard!!" said Ban, as he slams his fist into the table making it split in half.

"Merlin are you.. okay?" asked Diane.

There was a milisecond of silence, and finally Merlin spoke.

"Yes, I am."

"We're going to find her." cheered up Escanor, who's been worried at Merlin for days.

"I've come up with a strategy. We have two plans. First, I'll transport Ban to the demon realm using Galdan. His body can regenerate faster when damaged, because of his immortality but he'll have to get her within 13 seconds, or else he'll burn to death.

Second plan is, we'll have to get goddess's light shield in order to maintain the right amount of temperature in the demon realm."

"Which means you'll contact Elizabeth?" questioned King.

"Correct."

"Let's do plan A first." Ban insisted.

"...A-are you sure?! What if you didn't come back?" said Diane.

"Ban, it's too dangerous. You can't possibly find Ellie within a range of 13 seconds. The demon realm is as large as Britannia."

"I can do it, trust me."

"And if you don't?" Merlin said.

"I'll be one of the dust and smoke the hell out of those pesky demons."

"I can't stop you." Merlin sighed. "I'll transport you in the kingdom. That's our possible bet on her location. 13 seconds and I'll transport you back."

Merlin casted a spell, and Ban was disappearing quickly.

"I'll get Meliodas back too." And thus he was gone in the Boar Hat.

What the actual fuck, it's damn hot in here! I was transported in the demon realm, and I suppose this is Meliodas castle.

Follow her scent.

I have thirteen seconds.

One...

I ran as fast as I can to the entance, not minding that I was burning.

Two....

I ran to the halls, swiftly going up to the stairs.

Three...

"Ellie! Ellie where are you!"
