During the attack of Liones by the 5 sins (technically 6, cause Merlin is a master of disguise), Hendrickson activates all the latent Demon blood in most of the Holy Knights causing a mass rampage of Demons around Liones. King and Ban we're going round freeing everyone from the transformations, until they noticed one last demon running at a young girl. Suddenly, an old man appears in front of the girl, making the Demon stumble to a stop. Ban was running as fast as he could toward the seemingly inevitable outcome.

???: Now Now, it isn't nice to pick on girls. If you go on your way I will forget all about it and no one gets hurt.

He says this with a kind but serious smile

The Demon roared in what seemed to be laughter but you can't tell with a giant ass monster.
It then reels its fist back, ready for the punch that would seal there fate.

Ban: NO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOUR ONLY PROVOKING IT.

The Demon strikes...

But it never hits it target.

Ban & King: What?!

The Old Man, who had looked thinner than paper, had stopped the Demons punch with a finger.
The Demon looked more enraged by this, and pulls back its fist for another blow.

The Old Man smiled a smile, filled with sadness.

???: I did warn you. I'm sorry.

The Demon punches the Man, and he once again stops it, but then he runs towards the Demons chest and palm thrusts it with the least amount of effort possible.
Demon went flying into the sky, visibly shocked by what just happened.
The Old Man lifted his hand in the air and a large, dark purple pentagram appeared where his hand was.

???: Time I got a pick-me-up anyway.

From the circle appeared some thing Ban and King have seen only twice before.
A large mass of Crows burst forth from the pentagram, headed directly toward the Demon, and swarmed it.
The next thing that could be heard was the sound of a Demon in pain.
Suddenly, the Old Man slowly started to become taller and younger.

???: The unique thing about this spell, is that whatever damage is inflicted upon the targeted person, be it fatal or just a cut, is transferred to me as healing energy. This way The opposing side doesn't necessarily have to die, but in this ones case, I think it's best.

The screams slowly died down until Ban stepped in.

Ban: Don't kill it! The person can still be saved!

The (now not so) Old Man looked pleasantly surprised, and cancelled the spell.
The Demon fell from the sky, a tattered, torn up, bloody mess, unable to move for the shear pain it was in.

???: I recommend you act fast, cause it's regenerating and quite quickly might I add.

Ban quickly removed the parasite that was inside the host, and King stabbed it with Chastiefol.

The, Now young, man slowly started to walk away, with his hands behind his back, into the next part of the city looking for some people to protect.

Ban: Wait!

The Man pauses and looks over his shoulder.

King: It's really you, isn't it.

The Man smiles, as if to say 'Hello' and walks off into the, now forming mist.
