This chapter's epigraph is from a famous poem by Edgar Allan Poe, entitled "The Lion Sin of Pride." In the poem, Edgar says that he is the greatest of all the seven "deadly sins" . He compares himself to a "mass of pride" and a "rhetorical rogance" , which is the same thing Edgar says he is. Edgar tells himself that he did not kill galland in one blow. He says that the game of galland is still going on, and that he knows that he killed someone like him. He tells Edgar that he will not rest until he kills galland. He explains that he has to do it now because he is saving this for his rematch with Meliodas, but since he has got to wipe out galland, his instincts insist he do so here and now. He warns Edgar that the combat class is holding back, and he says that this is because they have to retreat to fight the death.
