After striking a deal with Meliodas, Zeldris and Estarossa set off in search of The Ten Commandments in order to turn Meliodas into the Demon Lord. Meanwhile, Elizabeth reunites with Merlin and the rest of The Seven Deadly Sins, and The Sins form an alliance with Stigma in hopes of saving Meliodas. But with Meliodas and Elizabeth striving towards the same goal, whose path is the right choice--and who will prove victorious? 

We open with chaos for multiple different characters, and Elizabeth has a resolve to save Meliodas and halt his plan! 

I have to say, the archangels seem shady to me for multiple reasons and I don't really trust them so I can't say I'm jazzed about the alliance with them and the holy knights. 

For the most part the volume is quite calm and not that much happens, we have an alliance, we have set up for the coming battle, and we check in with each character. There's also a thread of intrigue thanks to Escanor and his power and where it came from. The action picks up again as we check in with Arthur, of course he's not too impressed to find out what's going on with Meliodas but it turns out Arthur's quite the badass. We interestingly do get the backstory of the holy sword Arthur has gotten his hands on. 

However, the biggest shock of the volume came thanks to a twist involving Arthur that I didn't see coming...but probably should have. Although I'm not sure if it's the real deal or not, to be honest! 

While most of the volume focuses on setting up for the coming battle, with attack plans being hammered out and characters being moved where they need to be, there's the odd drop of action and we round out the volume with the battle about to begin, giving us something to look forward to in the coming volume!
