The Sword of the Holy Knight (2014)
Meliodas agrees to help Elizabeth, revealing how his business has been travelling from place to place to acquire information about the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins as well and letting her join him. The two, along with Hawk, soon stop over at the Bernia Village, a village famed for their delicious Bernia ale and its primary source of income. However, a Holy Knight Gilthunder has planted his sword in the center of the town, stopping all water sources. Despite the villagers' futile efforts, Meliodas easily removes the object and is hailed as a saviour of the Bernia Village. Gilthunder, wanting to confirm whether the removal of his sword was an accident or not, throws a spear imbued with his power towards the town, which is reflected back in the same direction by Meliodas, destroying Fort Solgales, Gilthunder's current location, and missing his head by centimetres.

The Sin in the Sleeping Forest (2014)
Meliodas, Elizabeth and Hawk travel to the Forest of White Dreams, a foggy, dense forest where even the Holy Knights avoid. Inhabiting the forest are Prankster Imps, which harbour shapeshifting abilities that confuse travellers by impersonating their companions. After defeating the Prankster Imps, they find a Giant girl asleep in the forest, who introduces herself as Diane, a member of the Seven Deadly Sins who possesses the Serpent's Sin of Envy, declaring her crush on Meliodas. This surprise reunion is soon interrupted when Gilthunder arrives, binding all of them with his lightning magic and facing Meliodas in a one-on-one fight, where the latter is dealt a severe injury. Under the pretense of dying, he acquires information about the whereabouts of two members of the Seven Deadly Sins, Ban and King, as his apparent last wish, tracing their locations to the Baste Dungeon and the Capital of the Dead respectively.
A Young Girl's Dream (2014)
Diane throws Gilthunder out of the forest and decides to accompany Meliodas, Elizabeth and Hawk on their travels. Their next stop is Baste Dungeon, where Ban, the bearer of the Fox's Sin of Greed, has been imprisoned for five years. However, Meliodas collapses suddenly from his injury and they decide to stop at Dalmary Town, letting a doctor named Dana treat him with medicine. There, Diane and Elizabeth both show care for Meliodas, but display envy towards each other due to their opposites in strength and size, with Diane ultimately deciding to leave to find Ban herself. Unbeknownst to them, Dalmary Town is currently under the rule of the Weird Fangs, a unit in the Holy Knights, who are determined to kill Meliodas and Diane, and capture Elizabeth. Dana also unexpectedly reveals to a shocked Elizabeth that the supposed medicine he administered is a deadly poison, while Golgius, a member of Weird Fangs, appears out of the blue to escort her back to the Kingdom of Liones.
Even if You Were to Die (2014)
Golgius attempts to take Meliodas' sword, only for him to awaken with no sign of being poisoned, proceeding to intimidate Golgius with an aura that prompts him to flee, but not before stabbing Dana for failing his task, revealing how he kidnapped his daughter Sennett in exchange for his cooperation. Using his power of invisibility, he attempts to kill Meliodas but is defeated and forced to retreat by force. The three head out to Baste Dungeon, but encounter Diane, who suddenly attacks them after succumbing to hypnosis by Ruin, another member of Weird Fangs pretending to be a shepherd, at the sound of his bell. Meliodas is soon hypnotised as well and the two begin to fight each other, mistaking the other for a Holy Knight. Meanwhile, Ban, having escaped prison, strips the apprentice Holy Knight Jericho of her armour to disguise himself and slip out, but is subsequently stabbed in the chest by his captor Jude.
