## Summary

### Yami of Piety vs. Fairy King Setsubō & King of Camelot Shino

Before Yami of Piety made his appearance to the Sacred Tree within the Fairy King’s Forest, talk between Commandments and the Graces alike had already been plotting to take down Yami should he trigger a break in the current treaty keeping Britannia stable from war. However, it had already been too late as Yami appeared before the Sacred Tree, letting his presence be known, his Demon mark activating and appearing on his right cheek. By this point in time, the Fairy King Setsubō had been meddling and conversing with current King of Camelot, Shino Hatake. However, after feeling something off, he immediately darted towards his home, King Shino following closely behind in aid due to his own personal reasons. The pair appeared on the soon to be battlefield, preparing to fight against a Commandment. Yami maintained a sinister presence as he began dialogue with Fairy King Setsubō. The Fairy King revealed his magical ability, his Sacred Treasure “Unmei” changing into form 2, Friction, his spear glowing a bright yellow before changing physical form almost instantly. Yami laughed and boasted his power as well before being interrupted by King Shino’s sudden appearance. Unbeknownst to him, a young boy named Kiriko Pendragon tagged along, apologizing frantically for getting in the way. After Kiriko agreed to remain out of the fight, King Shino and Fairy King Setsubō took stances against the mighty Commandment of Piety, Yami.

King Shino’s magical ability manipulated the weather to increase or decrease the flow of particles in the air. With this, he slowed the amount of particles at the base of his palm, an ice construct appearing. The Commandment was quick to react, unsheathing his blade and immediately releasing it at high velocity, its target the heart of the King of Camelot. In quick reaction, King Shino manifested ice mid-air, deviating the path of the wild short sword, leaping to the air in response, shouting at King Setsubō to engage in teamwork-like combat. Looking rather annoyed, Setsubō commanded three small sword to scatter, attacking Yami in three different directions. Yami’s mark glowed with Darkness, appearing with more malicious intent, dodging the swords while simultaneously catching King Shino’s arm. He mocked the King before getting his face almost blown off entirely by King Shino’s magical ability. Instead of speeding the particles, Shino slowed them down, causing an explosion, sending both men on opposite sides of the battlefield. The Fairy King took advantage and commanded his swords to hack and slash at Yami’s back.

### Yami's Magical Ability Debut

With Yami’s face half blown off and his back heavily mutilated by the Fairy King’s Sacred Treasure, victory seemed assured. However, Yami had began to rise from his near death state, a blanket of Darkness washing over his wounds, his face revealing a wicked smile. Yami took a deep breath, his eyes closing momentarily as he prepared an unusual stance, his palms outwards, his fingers twitching ever so slightly. Yami unleashed his unique magical ability, “Rejection Magic: Reject Negate”. An invisible like force shot from his center with enough power to send trees and buildings afloat with force. Shino had been caught by this force, his body flung backwards into a boulder, blood escaping from his mouth as he fell in defeat. The Fairy King had been sent backwards, spinning out of control before he immediately composed himself and attacked with his Sacred Treasure. Yami seemed surprised, having realized the Fairy King had read his weakness which had been his three second momentary freeze after executing his magical ability. Yami was hit, however immediately bouncing back up and charging at the boy with a powerful Darkness infused fist. King Shino had immediately interrupted with one final spell as he shouted “Thermal Combust”, an explosion deviating Yami’s fist. The Fairy King took advantage and used his spear to strike Yami with a direct attack, sending him backwards. Yami had been bleeding pretty heavily at this point, his regenerative properties beginning to slow as noticed by Kiriko Pendragon as he watched from the sidelines. Yami sighed heavily and casually pulled out a cigar, his breath shaky and wheezy from his fatigued state. After deciding to end the battle, he proposed an ultimatum to the Fairy King, attempting to convince him to join his army. Elsewhere, Kirin of Patience, another Commandment, had also made his move to aid the Kings in their feeble attempt to defeat Yami of Piety. As Kiriko tended to King Shino's wounds, Kirin approached the pair, offering his power to defeat Yami. With King Shino's blatant disagreement, Kiriko asked the Demon to leave, prepared to engage in battle.

### Finale: Anti-Matter

Yami raised his palm, black flames emerging from them. They were the Demon Clan’s special technique, Purgatory Fire, said to be an inextinguishable flame. He had been planning to combine his black flames to his Rejection Magic, threatening to set ablaze the entire forest. King Shino emerged from the boulder, blood trickling down his arms and face, displaying his fragile state as a human. Even so, his willpower had been exceedingly high. He projected his voice to the Fairy King, threatening to never forgive him should he agree to join Yami of Piety in return for a spared Forest. In one last effort, Setsubō produced a giant flower from within the soil, commanding the Demon to leave his home. Yami laughed, commending the duo for holding out this long. Finally, he had resumed the same stance from earlier, his Purgatory Flames dancing in his palms. King Shino gave in, deeming the situation out of his hands. Unexpectedly, the Fairy King complied, allowing himself to join Yami’s army for the sake of the Sacred Tree and the Fountain of Youth. Yami extinguished his flames, smiling as he commanded the Fairy King to leave his sight. If he should do so, he would be cursed under the effects of Yami’s Commandment, Piety. However, in almost an instant, the young Camelot boy, Kiriko Pendragon, dived head-first into Yami’s ribcage, breaking a couple of the man’s ribs, shouting at both kings to launch a unison attack. The Fairy King launched an assault too fast for Yami to dodge. In all the madness, King Shino leaped above the suffocating Demon, bringing his ice construct of a blade in a downwards slash, completing severing Yami’s arm. Yami managed to regain his composure, using the power of Darkness to attempt to reattach his severed limb. However, Kiriko was one step ahead of him. He used his unique magical ability, Anti-Matter, to completely deconstruct Yami’s arm. Defeated, Yami created space between him and his opponents, realizing it would have taken too much stamina to regenerate a whole other limb. The Commandment commended Kiriko, The Fairy King Setsubō, and the King of Camelot Shino before disappearing.

King Shino Hatake and Fairy King Setsubō share a goodbye before parting off. King Shino pardons Kiriko Pendragon of his crimes, allowing him to live in Camelot once again. In response, Kiriko begs frantically to allow Shino to become his master. Shino eventually accepts and takes on Kiriko as his student, surprising the young boy quite dearly The Commandment of Patience, Kirin, offered the both of them a ride home. After doing so, he left with his own agenda, Yami himself having planned to kill him for working against him.
