"He must have drunk the demon blood" Meliodas glares at Henderickson

"We see that Meli" Ayano mumbles

"oh did I hear my nickname?" Meliodas teases

"not the time dear" Ayano says turning his head back

"This is a wonderful gift. A true unification within the demon blood greatly enhances the physical body and increases power. My research and experiments yielded great results... I have to thank the failures for that," Henderickson says as he holds his right arm around and his joints crack "Hand over Elizabeth. If you do that, I will let you live as a show of mercy to two of my own kind" he glances at Meliodas and Ayano

"Don't lump us together with you. You're neither human nor demon. You're just an idiot" Meli glares at him

"I expected as much," Henderickson smirks

King goes up behind Henderickson and readys an attack "Then did you expect this, too?"

"Of course," Henderickson replies

His answers catches King off guard, Henderickson isn't human anymore so his senses were sharpened. Someone else attacks King and Ayano look to where the attack came from

"another fairy" she mumbles

"You just died... Didn't you...? Helbram?" King says shocked

"There's no point speaking to him, so I'll answer on his behalf," Henderickson looks over to him with a smirk on his face "He was originally dead... You were the one who killed him 150 years ago, correct?"

"that's cruel" Ayano says

Meliodas glances at her to see her digging her nails into her palms, he could tell she was trying to control herself.

"The bodies of you fairies never rot, even after you die. His body floated around in the black market for close to 150 years, being sold and resold for high prices, but eight years ago, I bought him and gave him another life," Henderickson tells him, "The forbidden technique passed among druids 'Enslavement Of The Dead'. 

He served me very well. Certainly worth the investment," He tilts his head frowning, "But you can only revive someone twice, and with each time, the soul becomes more eroded and their abilities decline significantly," He laughs at King crying and his screams of sorrow, "Be more joyful, Fairy King. I have you a great and rare opportunity! You can meet your friend three times and kill him three times!! This isn't something that everyone can experience, you know?" He laughs again

"Henderickson!" Ayano shouts as her eyes turn red

"Ayano!" Meliodas holds her around the waist

"Sir Meliodas" Elizabeth calls out

They turn to see Vivian, the Holy Knight mage, holding Margaret and Elizabeth with her staff,

"Well done Vivian," Henderickson says

Ayano's eyes become completely black with red around the edges, a crest appears on her forehead and she breaks free of Meliodas's hold. She charges at Henderickson and kicks him straight in the chest sending him back into a wall.

"Ayano!" Meliodas shouts

"Captain what's happening!?" King panics

"Ayano's.. losing control" Meliodas looks worried

Henderickson stands up and charges at Ayano, she puts her hand out and shoots fire at him. He dodges it and kicks her in the stomach.

"Ayano!" "Ayano!" "Lady Ayano!"
