Fallen Angel - (Seven Deadly Sins x Reader)

Chapter 47

Ruthless bodies

"Oh fair King Gloxinia, if you want me to try harder, come and stand opposite me..." You curled your lip underneath your top teeth and relaxed back onto your heels.

"Only if you win, little fleeting (Y/n)" The demon fairy murmured under his breath, and you concluded it probably wasn't fair to Gilthunder if you didn't try to win with him. Knowing the knight was quite honorable, he was going to be fighting his best. "TAG-TEAM MATCHES will now begin! Each floating platform will reach the stage one at a time at random! The other pair that also lands there will be their opponents for the round".

"I wonder who's first" Your fingers danced over your thighs as you watched your platform rise up into audience view over the central platform, where two floating rocks had just moved to meet either side of it.

"Elaine!" You suddenly heard Ban's surprised voice and spotted him and Meliodas standing on a platform below, sure enough, it seemed the first fighters would be the Princess of Liones and the Saint of the Fountain of Youth.

"That's not good" You tapped your lip and noticed Meliodas walking to the edge of his platform before he glanced up at you with an almost distressed look. Ahh Melio, you dropped your shoulders slightly, don't pull at my heart strings like that.

"Rule number one of the Fighting Festival: Every manner of weapon, magic power, and dirty trick is permitted! And encouraged!" Gloxinia placed his hands onto the flowed hips of his padded pants. "Rule number two: You must either kill your opposing tag team, render them powerless, or push them out of the ring to win!".

"I'm sorry Gil, I have to leave you for this fight. Though I really don't want to..." You closed your eyes and began to speak. "Princess, don't freak out or you'll make Gloxinia and Drole suspicious" you murmured under your breath.

Elizabeth gasped but quickly covered her mouth as her opponent's platform finally reached the large middle ground they'd both be fighting on, "M-Miss (Y/n)" she hurriedly whispered, "how are you speaking to me right now? Are you mind controlling me?"

You smirked and pulled a small thin rope out of Gilthunder's tunic to secure it around your fingers. "No we don't do that, though I suspect perhaps the Demon Clan can", as you spoke quietly, you began weaving the rope into the shape of an angelic knot. "You've not quite got the hang of your abilities yet, to keep you and Elaine safe in this fight, I'm going to borrow your body, we have similar physique so if you concentrate hard enough you should be able to slip into mine rather that floating in idle space". 

Gil watched you as you put the angelic knot into your pocket and used your finger to draw a symbol in front of you, similar to that of a rising sun in the grass. As your finger moved over the green blades, a glowing light left its mark along the lines you traced.

"I-idle space? This sounds a bit like the astral projection Miss Merlin was talking about. I thought she said only mages could do that" Elizabeth pulled her hands to her chest in fright, her voice so quiet it was like a little bird.

"I admit I'm not as experienced as Merlin, but I've done it before.. on Gowther.. he has a completely different physique and it didn't go that terribly" You stepped into the half-circle of the ground sun rune and your astral self was expelled like it was thrown into the air. Your natural body left motionless like a statuette in the rune, with the last expression you'd made frozen on your face.

"Gowther!" You heard a yelled and you tripped in the doll's body, falling flat on his/your? face. 

"Ow"
