Chapter 683 So, He's the Drama King, Huh

"Estarossa!"

Meliodas looked at this person with a complex gaze. In the false memories, they were brothers, or so it seemed. However, after Meliodas betrayed the Demon Clan, he abandoned his two brothers and joined the mainland's camp.

This ultimately led to him and Elizabeth being cursed, which was an unavoidable consequence. While in Estarossa's recollection, he felt that Meliodas had betrayed him and the others first.

However, regardless of the false memories, they were never truly brothers. So, when Meliodas and Zeldris were talking earlier, Estarossa was subconsciously ignored. It was an unavoidable situation.

"No need for idle talk. You betrayed us in the first place. It's time to settle the score!"

A big hole appeared in Estarossa's chest, from which he pulled out a short sword. In the false memories, he idolized Meliodas, hence he imitated everything about him.

Not only his weapons but also his magical abilities. Meliodas's magic was Full Counter, as the name suggests, any magic used against him would be directly reflected back.

However, Full Counter could only target one opponent. After using the artifact to clone himself, Meliodas can rebound multiple attacks at once.

There are also moves such as Revenge Counter. This trick is equivalent to accumulating power and inverting the damage received by the user as attack power.

Although his Full Counter wasn't exceptionally outstanding, after imitation, Estarossa not only possessed Full Counter but could also reflect physical attacks, just like the original work when he fights against Escanor. At the time, Escanor's attack was rebounded.

Moreover, he possessed the Love Commandment. Anyone hostile toward him would have their power directly stripped away. Unless their power surpassed the Demon King's, they couldn't recover from the Commandment's influence.

After drawing his weapon, Estarossa didn't waste time with words. Instead, he immediately erupted with full force.

A slash from the short sword charged at Meliodas, but the current Meliodas wasn't bothered by it. Even if it was Mael recovered the power of the Sunshine, Meliodas wouldn't care, let alone Estarossa without the power of the Sunshine.

This slash was directly crushed by Meliodas's palm, causing Estarossa's face to contort uglily.

"You're still as strong as ever, you freak. But so what!"

Estarossa didn't hesitate and went straight into action.

"Wait... Estarossa, there's really no need for us to fight. I've already said it before, my betrayal was simply because I cherish life and didn't want to be a pawn of the Demon King. You're the same. Why continue fighting"

Meliodas really didn't want to harm this guy and could only continue to reason with him.

"It's all lies. I saw through your true nature after your betrayal. Are you plotting something sinister again? Your vile intentions are disgusting!"

However, Estarossa wasn't interested in listening anymore. He was determined to fight without hesitation.

"Chih!"

At the same time, Zeldris's expression changed as well. Although he understood Meliodas's situation, the fact remained that Meliodas had betrayed them, and he even killed two of the Ten Commandments when he left.

That was something that couldn't be overlooked. Given the circumstances, Zeldris, despite being cautious of the Demon King, had to confront Meliodas directly, as they are not on the same side.

In this two-against-one situation, Meliodas was unfazed, even seemingly at ease. However, he also refrained from using excessive force because these two were his brothers. That much was true.

"Do we really not need to intervene?"

Watching this scene, King couldn't help but ask.

After all, they didn't know how long will it take if the fight continued like this. The healing speed given by the Demon King is incredible. With this, they can heal instantly. Even severed limbs can be regenerated. It's insane.

Therefore, if they continue to fight like this, it's clear that Meliodas and Estarossa won't be able to defeat each other, as Meliodas won't go all out because they're his brothers. So this battle might just go on forever.

In this way, the battle continued for hours on end, with everyone else getting bored and lounging around. They knew there was no point in intervening.

However, the enemy kept on fighting. True to Estarossa's despicable nature, he planned to use these people to threaten Meliodas. Unfortunately for him, Meliodas wasn't fazed.

Whenever Estarossa made a move, he'd be swiftly countered by Ban's punches. If it weren't for wanting Meliodas to handle this himself, Ban would've smashed Estarossa without hesitation. He wouldn't have given him so many chances to attack them.

"Captain, pick up the pace. Talking won't work with these guys. Just knock them out first!"

Merlin urged impatiently. Despite her infinite magic, she was annoyed at such wasteful method.

Upon hearing Merlin's words, Meliodas realized persuasion wouldn't work with his brothers. It was time to get serious and knock them out first.

As for Zeldris, he knew the gap between him and Meliodas. So, he tapped into the Demon King's power, instantly boosting his level by tens of thousands.

But Estarossa was different.

He wasn't the Demon King's son and didn't have any other trump cards besides the Love Commandment. So, he became Meliodas's primary target.

Meliodas unleashed a fierce blow, hammering Estarossa's head with a punch. While it didn't explode, it did jolt Estarossa's brain. Suddenly, unfamiliar memories flooded Estarossa's mind.

The scene that should have been Meliodas talking to him changed to a woman speaking instead. Everything else remained the same, except for this new image, along with a stream of other unfamiliar memories flooding in.
