The Eight Sin The Sin Of Love - Chapter 21 The Forest Of White Dreams
After a couple of hours of fast travel, Jax finally reached The Forest Of White Dreams. The place where he would find his nee-san once again also his adopted father and Elizabeth should be here around this time. And of course his grandfather that would watch him but he didn’t care about revealing his powers to him. After all, he knew his grandfather the current demon king wouldn’t dare to make his move on him just yet.
His master Luciv was rumored to be the strongest Demon King successor to have ever walked this planet. So the Demon King wouldn’t risk angering him without his commandments revived. It was too risky what if he tried to take Jax into purgatory and Luciv noticed and he would follow immediately. It was a battle the current demon king didn’t want to fight.
The fog around the forest was thick but Jax decided to enter after all nothing in this forest could hurt him. After a while he could hear the sound of someone being hit and the ground trembling, ‘i guess Dianne-nee didn’t change and is still on the pursuit of dad’ Jax thought while a smile was forming. It was the first time in 10 years to see them again. While he was walking to the sound he saw a person walking towards the same sound. Of course, this was one of his best friends, Gilthunder. Jax knew what he was about to do but didn’t really care.
He would never try to kill Gilthunder or something like that just if he went too far he would knock him out. He could understand why Gilthunder would do everything that was asked of him after all if he wouldn’t do that his lover would be hurt. How could the sin of love not understand that? Instead, Jax respected him for what he was doing. But would this mean he would allow him to try to hurt his family? No that was something that won’t allow.
Jax sat down on the ground and decided to watch for a bit. It went just like the original story Gilthunder acting a bit arrogant and him trapping Mel and Dianne with electric wires. And at the time Meliodas wanted to break out of them and fight Jax started to walk out of his hiding spot. “Let me take care of him, dad,” Jax said while looking at Meliodas. In Meliodas view came a young man that looked truly impressive but when Meliodas saw him a big smile entered his face, “have you been well Jax” Meliodas asked him.
“I have dad but please let me take care of my friend over there” while pointing his finger to Gilthunder. Dianne saw Jax and started to scream, “Jaaaaax you are alive how have you been? Where were you? How did you go from being cute to being manly?” the excitement was really noticeable and it was the usual Dianne Jax knew. “We will talk later okay”
Jax said while smiling at the happy giant. “Okay,” Dianne said. They were happy to see their youngest family member but there were two people closely watching Jax those were, of course, the demon king inside Hawk. And Elizabeth who was sad that Meliodas apparently had a son she decided to ask more about it at a later time.
“So you are also alive,” Gilthunder said while trying to hide the complex emotions going through his body. It was hard for him to keep this act up his hero was Meliodas and right now his best friend that he was like real brothers with. was standing here ready to fight him.
But he needed to keep this act up to save his lover after all he was still being monitored. Jax looked at Gilthunder and he started smiling, “Gil please don’t do this you can’t even win against Meliodas so fighting against me is the most stupid thing you can do” it wasn’t arrogance in the ears of the spectators no it was clear confidence that he was stronger than his father. Meliodas was smiling knowing his son had become stronger than the current him feeling happy about this.
Gilthunder didn’t want to but got in a battle stance ready to fight his best friend. But the moment he moved Jax also moved. Only physical strength was used in Jax’s movement but it was faster than Gilthunder his left hand going to his side and a small dagger was seen in his hand. Dodging the strike of Gilthunder with ease and hitting him with the back of the dagger.
Like this Gilthunder was knocked out cold. Jax then turned to Meliodas and said, “its good to see you again” Meliodas also smiled, “it’s also good to see you my son” before walking over and hugging the now bigger than him Jax.
Jax put his arms around Meliodas and smiled, “I have missed you”
“and I have missed you”
After a couple of seconds, the both let go and Jax felt himself being picked up he looked over and saw Dianne smiling at him while saying, “you know Jax I have really missed you” the sadness present in his voice. After all when Jax was small Dianne always wanted to play with him.
She was like his big annoying sister that always wanted to play with him. But Jax knew he liked that back then and was happy to once again see her.
After Dianne was done holding him he looked over at Elizabeth, ‘so this is the girl that changed the most ruthless demon ever’ Jax thought inside his hearth.
Elizabeth was a bit nervous but decided to ask what she wanted to know, “so you are Meliodas-sama’s son?” Jax could laugh right now he knew what she was worried about she was worried that Meliodas had a lover so he decided to make her feel better. “Well, I am his son but not by blood dad adopted me when I was just born” Elizabeth wanted to answer but before that, a smile blossomed on her face it was apparent that she liked what she heard.
A bit of talking went on between the 4 before Hawk also introduced himself. Like this time went by where the sins asked questions and Jax answered them. “You wanna come to see my bar,” Meliodas asked being proud of the boar hat. Jax smiled he had other plans right now,
“Sorry, dad I have heard where Ban is being held so i will be going there to free him.”
