Nimue's power alone was soul-crushing, anyone that wasn't strong enough to be in its presence would have a hard time breathing or their flight or fight instincts would kick in and they'd end up hurting themselves. The Sins, fairies and a few of the knights were able to withstand her power and were able to focus and help the others, Meliodas continued to stand in one spot and watch the fight through his senses. 

He was worried she'd overwork herself and get seriously hurt. Outside, Nimue didn't react to her real name and just stared at Gloxinia who got over the shocking realization that his armour was gone within a mear second of him putting it on. "So...the three of us who once fought together against your father now meet as enemies," Gloxinia said while smirking, 

"Fate is truly an ironic thing. Princess, I want to hear your answer honestly," he said staring down at Nimue, her white hair flapping out behind her with her tails swishing. "Do you honestly intend on killing us right here...right now?" Nimue smirked darkly, "Of course I do, I know all about your reasons that drove you to go that way," she said,

"Gloxinia...you were betrayed by the people you trusted most and you had something even more precious than your own life taken from you." she said looking at Gloxinia then she looked at Dolor. "Dolor...you were once a warrior who strived to become the strongest of all, but that pride was stomped into pieces and trampled under foot." she explained. 

Gloxinia looking down at Nimue frowned, "If you know all this then why?" he asked, "Isn't it obvious? Once you go that way there's no coming back!" she said and launched to attack. Gloxinia blasted his own attack at Nimue and tossed at her that she should have looked before leaping, 

But Nimue knew what was coming, even though she caught the attack in the palm of her hand the pure force of it shot her through mountains and into a giant crater. The vibrations could be felt in the stone prison that held all the others, "What a terrifying clash of energy." Gowther said blandly, as Escanor leaned on him,

"Trying to take on those two monsters by herself...that's reckless even for her standards!" Howzer said looking up at the ceiling. Elizabeth clung to Meliodas' arm and whimpered his name, but he was steel footed and hadn't even budged. "C'mon, you bastards!! We gotta back up Nimue!" Hawk squealed, "And what could we accomplish by doing that?" Ban said,

He stood clutching Elain to him as she trembled against his muscular chest, "We'd be nothing but target practice if we stood in the midst of that...the only thing we'd end up doing is being a burden to the Lieutenant and getting in her way!!" Ban finished, Elizabeth looked at Meliodas and he felt her eyes on him and he nodded confirming Ban's explanation.

"If anything it wouldn't even be them that kills us, it would be her." King added, Elizabeth looked at him confused, "The Ten Commandments have power that's far beyond any enemy we've fought up till now. To be perfectly frank, at this moment, the only person that stands a chance against them is Nimue, we've got to leave it to her, us going there would only get us killed." King finished. 

Outside, Nimue shot her own attack at Gloxinia her whole appearance not even dirtied by the hit she'd taken and stayed that way as she blasted through the wood golem that Gloxinia summoned to stall her, but she just ripped right through it and nailed Gloxinia in the gut, about to use her Messorem to deliver the finishing blow, 

But Dolor struck his arms having been healed by Gloxinia, she dodged effortlessly the giant's attack, having teleported out of their prison, the group ended up back in Liones, the magician panting and tired caught his breath, Howzer commented on feeling the battle even all the way back in Liones while Nimue fought in Vaizel,

Gilfrost said that the Commandments shouldn't have been awakened and that their coming is unlike any catalytic event, "But what about...Her?" Elizabeth said not wanting to even say her name, "That's exactly what has me so terrified," he said and pulled forth a crystal ball showing the battle, "Nimue...had made quick work of them."
