Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 120: Overwhelming Mayhem
Well, they certainly sold me on Galan's threat level, that's for sure. We still don't know how highly-ranked Galan is among the Ten Commandments... he could be the weakest of them all who only likes to fight, or he could be the strongest after the obvious main villains (Estarossa and Zeldoris) but whatever it is, those power levels aren't fucking around. Hawk finds out that Galan's magic level is a big fat whooping zero, confirming that Galan's 26K-strong power level is without him regaining the power that was sealed. Of coures, this also means Meliodas can't use Full Counter on Galan's attacks because they are fully physical and not magical in nature.
Everyone's going all 'this is the weakest we'll find these demons' while Galan is all 'man, these human settlements are so crowded'. So Galan swings his spear and I think a good chunk of Camelot just fucking exploded to, well, just a flat land. So much for all those random civilians... damn bastards probably all died right then and there. We get a cool page of Meliodas just slashing Galan straight in the neck with Lostvayne. Pretty damn awesome panel right there. (Also Galan is a gangly fucker) Galan, however, counteracts by stabbing Meliodas straight through the gut. Now I don't believe for a second that this isn't a Meliodas clone or kage bunshin or whatever, but unlike Naruto's clones who go poof without showing the grisly visuals, Meliodas' clone gets impaled pretty horifically on the tip of Galan's spear tip. I mean, I know it's just a clone but still, that full-page shot of Galan spearing Meliodas in the gut is still pretty awesome too.
Galan then just fucking vaporizes two other Meliodas clones, while kind of just observing the fact that these are just 'afterimages'. I do like what comes next, as Galan goes all 'the next attack will come from behind' like is common in fight scenes, then predicting that the real Meliodas is actually coming down from above. Man, Galan, you and your gangly creepiness is awesome.
Meanwhile, Merlin has protected the other combatants in her cube forcefield things, while Diane charges towards Galan. Merlin can apparently cancel out Diane's curse and turn her into a giant complete with clothes with a wave of her hand, but all Diane accomplished is having her hammer whack her straight in her forehead becuase, well, a giant swinging a hammer? No problem, just kick it upwards. Diane is really lucky it's the blunt end that hit her skull and not the pointy end. That's a pretty hilarious panel, though!
And Merlin, possibly the strongest Sin present in the area, snaps her fingers and for a moment it looks like she teleported Galan away somewhere because Galan does disappear. Everyone recovers for a while, but then we cut to Merlin's angry face. And Merlin is really scary when she's doing this angry face. Normally she's always got this smug-ass confident grin on her face, whoever she's facing, and she explains that Galan has just merrily skipped away from her teleportation spell.
Because you fucking avoid a teleportation spell with a crazy range by fucking hopping away like a grasshopper.
And the final panel is Galan hopping back in place behind Merlin all contorted and scary and fuck.
Man, Galan is a badass. How the fuck are they going to defeat ten other guys like him? Possibly stronger than him, too, because manga logic usually means the weakest of the group of villains engages the heroes first?
