"Looks like we have visitors again. What's the plan for today? Are you planning to torture me again? Can't you guys use some more exciting methods? I'm bored of this routine!"
As the ground entered, they found Ban lay on the ground, looking unfazed, like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
He had grown completely accustomed to it, or rather, even if he was injured, he didn't care anymore. He had gotten used to the pain and didn't mind the execution anymore.
At any rate… he was the type who couldn't die completely, however, he is still getting a bit tired of it.
"You really are an undying guy. But this time, we didn't come for that. We've investigated your situation, and know that you're innocent. We're here to invite you to join a group!"
Meliodas spoke up, but Ban showed no reaction.
"Investigated, huh? I thought you'd say something like that. As for the group, sorry, not interested. I'm having a good time here. You can leave!"
Ban expressed his disinterest. He was living comfortably here, and he had grown used to this lifestyle. Or perhaps he was looking down on Meliodas, and his heart was already dead, so leaving here was pointless.
"What a hassle, but that's fine. I have other methods in mind!"
In the end, Meliodas is still an old monster that has lived for thousands of years. He was quite different from someone like Asahi. While Asahi had lived longer than Meliodas, he had spent most of his time in seclusion. In terms of truly living, Meliodas had the upper hand.
"Other methods, huh? Show me what you've got. I want to see how you'll get me out of…"
Ban's words were cut short as Meliodas's fist slammed into his face. Instantly, Ban's body crashed into the wall behind him, causing several cracks to appear.
"Interesting. You actually resorted to violence. Let's see what you've got! The hunt begins!"
After saying that, Ban activated his own magic, Snatch. He could use this magic to absorb the powers of others, however, Ban's body had a limit of 20,000 in terms of power level. After absorbing Galand's power, he could easily overpower him. However, absorbing such extreme levels of power wasn't something he could handle easily.
Although his body could quickly recover physically, it is very troublesome to recover from the mental exhaustion. Now, he directly absorbed Meliodas's power using Snatch, causing Meliodas's power to continuously surge into his body. But Meliodas at this stage wasn't as weak as he would become later on, so Ban couldn't absorb most of his power. The result was a thorough beating from Meliodas.
"Boom boom boom..."
The fight continued for about a minute, causing the entire prison to be demolished, and Ban was sent flying out.
"What a troublesome ability. It took quite an effort to beat you out!"
Meliodas, covered in dust, sighed. It can only be said that Ban's ability was indeed quite annoying. If it weren't for his own limits, that ability would be invincible.
"You actually managed to beat me out directly. You're quite strong. I'll join you for now, but I'll challenge you anytime. If you're no longer my match, I won't stay in this group."
Ban stated. Since Meliodas could defeat him, it didn't matter much to listen to him. The main thing was that it was like having a companion.
"Of course, no problem. But the strongest person in our group right now isn't me, it's Escanor. If I were to fight him, I'd be taken out in an instant!"
Meliodas stated. When it came to the strongest among the Seven Deadly Sins, there was no doubt it was Escanor. As for Asahi, he wasn't part of the Seven Deadly Sins.
"There's someone even stronger? That's interesting! Hahaha, very interesting indeed. Well then, let's have a fight now!"
Ban locked his sights on the others, or more precisely, he focused directly on Escanor, as he could sense a terrifying aura from him.
Though it wasn't noon anymore, only a short time had passed since then, so Ban still could feel Escanor's enormous power.
"Want to challenge me? You're so arrogant. Even if you are immortal, you'll eventually be burned to ashes if you face me!"
Looking at Ban in front of him, Escanor's pride and arrogance to emerge again.
"Ah, are you such an arrogant bastard? Let's give it a try then!"
After Ban finished speaking, he charged straight at Escanor. In response, Escanor just shook his head.
Ban's fist struck Escanor, but there was no reaction from him, as if it were an ordinary person punching a giant rock.
"Boom!"
However, when Escanor punched back, Ban's body was immediately distorted, and he was sent flying hundreds of meters away.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? How strong are you, anyway!"
Ban looked at Escanor incredulously. He hadn't even had time to absorb any power before being blasted away like that. He felt that Escanor's level of strength was very insane.
"I refuse to believe it!"
Ban's stubbornness flared up. However, as soon as he charged forward again, he found a fireball hurtling towards his face.
"Cruel Sun!"
It was Escanor's most commonly used technique. And Ban was directly reduced to ashes by the blast. However, with his incredible regeneration ability, he could survive being reduced to ashes or even molecular destruction. He was practically invincible in terms of self-healing.
But Ban's clothes were gone. Asahi snapped his fingers, and a set of clothes that were similar to the original work fell directly beside him.
"What a convenient ability. Where did that come from?"
Meliodas asked curiously.
"I didn't sense any spatial fluctuations. very likely that it was created out of thin air. Of course, it's possible that my perception isn't strong enough to detect it."
With that said, Marlin glanced at Asahi. If it was simply undetectable by her, then there wasn't much more to say.
However, if it was created out of thin air, that was terrifying. Such an ability was simply mind-boggling to her.
"Just treat it as undetectable!"
Asahi said, not elaborating further. This was one of Whis's abilities, Conjuration, the power to create objects out of thin air.
