After the guild repaired the damage from the civil war, everyday life resumed, and Lucy learned why Jiang Bai was choosing a mission and how much money he considered necessary to feel secure.

• Mirajane said Jiang Bai wanted about fifty million J on hand to feel secure, leaving Lucy stunned by the amount.

Lucy learned that the dark guilds were growing active after Etherion was destroyed, and Reedus showed Fairy Tail their network and the Balam Alliance. Jiang Bai then took a Ten-Year Quest worth sixty million J, leaving the guild members impressed but unable to join him.

• Lucy joined the crowd around Reedus as he drew a chart of the dark guilds, and Mirajane explained that Etherion’s destruction had emboldened them.

Makarov returned to Fairy Tail and ordered Jiang Bai to lead a coalition against Oración Seis, which had begun mobilizing its forces. He selected Jiang Bai, Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy for the mission, and Lucy agreed after hearing that one enemy mage mistreated Celestial Spirits.

• Makarov arrived as Jiang Bai prepared to leave and told him he had a more important mission to lead.
• Makarov explained that Oración Seis was mobilizing, so Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Cait Shelter would form a coalition against them.
• Makarov said Oración Seis controlled many subordinate guilds and that dark guilds had been attacking legal guild members.
• Makarov chose Jiang Bai, Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy for the mission.
• Lucy first protested going, but Jiang Bai told her an Oración Seis Celestial Spirit Mage treated her Spirits like slaves, and Lucy resolved to join and confront her.

The Oración Seis learned that Fairy Tail’s ace, Jiang Bai, would join the legal guilds’ alliance against them, and Brain welcomed the chance to face him. On the way to the meeting, Jiang Bai’s companions reassured Lucy, while Jiang Bai hinted that his dark circles came from nights spent fighting two demanding opponents, leaving Erza embarrassed and Loke wisely silent.

• Racer reported to Brain that the legal guilds were forming an alliance against the Oración Seis, and Brain identified Jiang Bai as Fairy Tail’s ace and one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
• Cobra said he wanted to fight Jiang Bai, and Brain agreed that the Oración Seis would soon meet him.
• Lucy worried about the coming confrontation during the ride, while Loke arrived to reassure her and Erza promised to protect her companions.
• Gray reasoned that Jiang Bai was strong enough to handle the mission, and Jiang Bai said he planned to let the others train against individual opponents if they had the chance.
• Natsu declared that he would take on all six Oración Seis, so Jiang Bai knocked him down with Telekinesis and told him to focus on beating one opponent first.
• Lucy asked about Jiang Bai’s dark circles, and his suggestive explanation embarrassed Erza; Loke noticed Erza’s warning glare and hurried back to the Celestial Spirit World.

Fairy Tail arrived at Master Bob’s villa, where Jiang Bai and Erza faced the flamboyant Blue Pegasus members and Ichiya. The allied guild meeting was about to begin when a young man entered the villa.

• Lucy doubted she could fight Angel, but Jiang Bai encouraged her, and she resolved not to let him down.

The alliance members split up to search for Oración Seis, while Angel revealed herself in the villa and attacked Jura. Angel planned to use the Pegasus Christina against Jiang Bai, leaving Jura fighting Gemini’s copy as Angel headed for the bomber’s control room.

• Natsu and Happy flew into the forest, followed by Gray, Erza and Lucy, Lyon and Sherry, and the Blue Pegasus trio.
• Jiang Bai stayed behind with Wendy, while Ichiya and Jura remained at the villa.
• The disguised Ichiya tried to stab Jura, but Jura dodged and revealed that Jiang Bai had warned him to be wary.
• The disguised Ichiya transformed into Gemini, and Angel emerged from the shadows and admitted that Gemini had copied Ichiya.
• Angel sent Gemini, transformed into Jura, to fight the real Jura while she headed for the Pegasus Christina’s control room to target Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai protected Wendy and Carla from Angel’s magic blast cannon, prompting Angel to flee and abandon the falling Pegasus Christina. As the allied guild members realized the Oración Seis had begun their attack, Cobra revealed that the enemy leader was preparing to unseal Nirvana.

• Jiang Bai shielded Wendy and Carla from the Pegasus Christina’s magic blast cannon and explained that he had expected the attack after the fake Ichiya appeared.
• Angel ordered Gemini to destroy the airship and escape, while Aries blocked Jura with a wall of wool; the unsupported Pegasus Christina then plunged toward the ground.
• Jura found the real Ichiya naked, bound, and unconscious in the villa’s washroom.
• Cobra said Angel had failed and told Racer to let the legal guild members be worn down while their leader worked to unseal Nirvana.
• Natsu and the others saw the airship fall and realized the blast had targeted Jiang Bai, but Lucy, Gray, and Happy remained confident he had survived.

• Racer tried to seize Wendy, but Jiang Bai stopped him, hurled him into the air, and knocked him unconscious with blasts of Red.
• Cobra told Cubellios that they would have to fight for their lives.

• Cobra ordered Cubellios to attack Jiang Bai with Poison Dragon's Roar, then charged with his dragon claws.
• Jiang Bai blocked Cobra's attacks and used his speed and fighting skill to overpower him despite Cobra's ability to hear and anticipate movements.
• Jiang Bai knocked Cobra unconscious with a precise chop to the side of his neck.
• Wendy watched the defeated Oración Seis members and worried that she was useless and only held the others back.
• Jiang Bai gently patted Wendy's head and told her she was still young and more capable than Natsu and Gray had been at her age.

The Fairy Tail team defeated Oración Seis's underlings, then faced Angel, Hoteye, and Midnight. After Midnight wounded Erza and the others engaged their opponents, Lucy asked Natsu to let her fight Angel.

• Brain sensed that Cobra and Racer had been defeated and sent Angel, Hoteye, and Midnight to buy time while he finished undoing Nirvana's seal.

• Midnight struck Erza through her armor, while Gray and Lyon teamed up against Hoteye and Natsu was left facing Angel with Lucy.
• Lucy asked Natsu to leave Angel to her because she could not forgive Angel for treating Celestial Spirits as tools, and Natsu agreed.

Lucy fought Angel, who used her Celestial Spirits to gain the upper hand and defeat Lucy’s summoned spirits. The chapter ended with Angel sending Loke and Aries back to the Celestial Spirit World, leaving Lucy facing her with no spirits on the field.

• Lucy summoned Taurus, and Angel proposed a wager for their golden keys before ordering Gemini to copy Jiang Bai.
• Gemini failed to copy Jiang Bai because his magic power was too great, then copied Taurus and helped Scorpio defeat him.

• Lucy summoned Loke, who gained an advantage against Aries and Gemini until Aries restrained him and Angel ordered Caelum to fire.
• Caelum’s laser struck Loke and Aries, forcing both Celestial Spirits back to the Celestial Spirit World.

Lucy learned Urano Metria from Hibiki and used it to defeat Angel, while Natsu, Gray, and Lyon struggled against Hoteye. Jura and Ichiya arrived to help, and Jura’s attack clashed with Hoteye’s strongest earth magic.

• Angel ordered Gemini to copy Lucy and kill her, but Gemini refused after seeing Lucy’s love for Celestial Spirits, so Angel sent them back through their Gate.
• Hibiki shielded Lucy from Angel and used Archive Magic: Information Transfer to give her the knowledge of Urano Metria before collapsing unconscious.

• Natsu, Gray, and Lyon failed to overcome Hoteye’s earth magic as he softened the ground and drove them back.
• Ichiya and Jura arrived, and Hoteye unleashed Heavenly Movement against Jura, who answered with Supreme King Rock Crush; their earth magics collided in a deadlock.

Natsu and his allies defeated Hoteye, but Brain broke Nirvana’s final seal and activated the immense mobile city. As Nirvana prepared to attack Jiang Bai, he erased its cannon with Purple, though the weapon’s armor withstood the blow.

• Natsu, Gray, Lyon, and Ichiya struck Hoteye with a combined attack and defeated him while Jura kept him occupied.

• Midnight appeared before the group and attacked Jiang Bai with Air Blade, but the attack failed against Jiang Bai’s barrier.
• Jiang Bai suppressed the space around them, preventing Midnight from using his Distortion Magic.

Jiang Bai defeated Midnight by suppressing his magic and then turned his attention to Nirvana. As Brain charged the fortress at the group, Jiang Bai destroyed its six power crystals with a thousand-meter greatsword, leaving Nirvana in ruins.

• Jiang Bai suppressed Midnight’s magic, nullified his Genesis Zero attack, and knocked him unconscious by making his magic rampage within his body.
• Brain watched Midnight’s defeat and ordered Nirvana to charge at Jiang Bai and the others before its cannon could be repaired.

• Jiang Bai formed a thousand-meter energy greatsword and used space magic to slice through Nirvana’s six legs.
• Nirvana’s six power-supplying Magic Crystals shattered, and the fortress collapsed into wreckage.

After Jiang Bai destroyed Nirvana, Zero emerged from the ruins and threatened the group. Jiang Bai erased him with a spatial rift, and the allied guilds celebrated their completed mission.

• Nirvana collapsed, Brain fell unconscious, and his seal disappeared as the group prepared to return.
• Jiang Bai noticed someone remained in the wreckage, and Zero emerged, claiming he was the true leader of the Oración Seis.

• Rune Knights arrived, thanked the mages, and took the unconscious dark guild members into custody.
• Jiang Bai and the others accompanied Wendy and Carla to Cait Shelter, where Master Rob welcomed them.
• On the way, Erza explained the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings, and Jiang Bai said the Ten Wizard Saints' rankings were only for the public.
• At Cait Shelter, Jiang Bai told Rob that he had figured out the old master's secret, and Rob revealed that he had created Nirvana four hundred years ago.

Rob revealed that he and the people of Cait Shelter were Thought Projections created to atone for Nirvana’s destruction of the Nirvit Tribe. After Nirvana was destroyed, the projections’ purpose ended, and they vanished, leaving Wendy and Carla in the care of Jiang Bai and his companions.

• Rob explained that he had created Nirvana four hundred years earlier, and its accumulated darkness drove the Nirvit Tribe to slaughter one another until only he remained.
• Rob revealed that his body had died in the disaster and that he had persisted as a Thought Projection, waiting for someone to destroy Nirvana.
• After thanking Jiang Bai for destroying Nirvana, Rob and the villagers began fading away as their fixation ended.
• Rob admitted that Cait Shelter and its members were phantoms he had created for Wendy, and that Jellal had brought her to him seven years earlier.
• Wendy tried in vain to embrace Rob and begged him not to disappear, while he wished her and Carla a happy future and asked the others to care for them.
• Rob, Cait Shelter, and the village vanished into specks of light, leaving a silent, desolate plain.

After losing Cait Shelter and her family, Wendy was invited by several guilds to join them. She chose Fairy Tail, and Jiang Bai welcomed her as his little sister as they set off for her new home.

Mystogan offered pills for the trip to Edolas, but Jiang Bai confidently dismissed the world’s magic restriction as ineffective against him.

• Makarov heard Erza’s report on the mission, then announced a guild party to celebrate its success and welcome Wendy.
• Mirajane registered Wendy as a guild member, and Wendy revealed that she used Sky Dragon Slayer Magic.
• Gajeel watched Happy and Carla from the second floor and wondered why he was the only Dragon Slayer without a cat.
• Jiang Bai sensed a familiar magical presence, left the party, and met Mystogan outside Magnolia.
• Mystogan told Jiang Bai that Anima’s fluctuations were intensifying and that his father was preparing to act, then gave him magic-restoring pills for Edolas.
• Jiang Bai refused the pills, claiming that Edolas’s restriction on magic would not affect him.
