Chapter Summaries

Ywen completely absorbed the Dragon’s Tear and the dead Dragons’ souls, then awoke a month later with power he estimated had reached the Pseudo-dragon God tier. After returning to Fairy Tail, he was pulled aside by Ultear, while Kagura secretly prepared to report what she had seen.

• Ywen swallowed the Dragon’s Tear and the souls of the dead Dragons, enduring a week of violent magical surges before falling into a month-long slumber.
• Ywen awoke with his Azure Dragon power and magic at Level 14, while his Martial Arts, resistance, Attach Magic, and Detach Magic also increased.
• Ywen judged himself capable of challenging the Dragon Gods and August, and far stronger than Jorg Raizen, then left to return to Fairy Tail.
• Ywen arrived at the guild and found its members drinking, joking, and watching Kurnugi defeat Laxus again.
• Ultear urgently took Ywen outside to discuss a new development, while Kagura watched and prepared to report the encounter through a communication Magic Crystal.

Ywen took Ultear to Grimoire Heart to confront Precht, insisting he could defeat the former Fairy Tail master alone. After Precht expected Warrod, Makarov, and Ul to join the fight, Ywen revealed that he was the only one who had come to subjugate him.

• Ultear told Ywen that Precht had ordered her to end her Fairy Tail infiltration and return to Grimoire Heart, then warned him that Precht was far stronger than the Ten Wizard Saints.
• Ywen rejected Ultear's plan to gather powerful allies and carried her through the sky toward Grimoire Heart.
• Ywen and Ultear crashed through the airship ceiling into Precht's Guild Master lounge, where Precht recognized them and questioned Ultear's return with Ywen.
• Ywen mocked Precht and explained that Makarov had sent him to beat Precht up, while Precht unleashed his magic and waited for other Fairy Tail wizards to appear.
• Ywen told Precht that Warrod, Makarov, and Ul were not coming, and that he alone had come to subjugate him.

Ywen faced Precht aboard the airship, surviving his strongest magic and defeating him with a flick after revealing his Demon Slayer abilities. Precht lay unconscious, and Ultear stared in disbelief at how quickly Ywen had ended the battle.

• Precht offered to spare Ywen and teach him magic if Ywen worked for him, but Ywen removed Precht's eyepatch with magic and invited him to attack first.

• Precht unleashed Amaterasu Formula Hundred, but Ywen emerged from the crater unharmed and challenged him with Dragon Slayer Magic.

• Ywen defeated Precht with an Azure Dragon's Serious Flick, leaving him unconscious as Ultear watched in astonishment.

Ywen returned from Grimoire Heart with its repaired airship and revealed that he had defeated the guild and captured Precht. Makarov reunited with his former Guild Master, and the two began walking through Magnolia so Precht could explain what had happened.

• Erza complained that Ywen had left her and Mirajane behind, and Ywen promised to let her subjugate Precht before refusing Mirajane’s call.
• Ultear repaired Grimoire Heart’s airship after Ywen explained that he had already incapacitated everyone aboard except Precht.
• Ywen lifted the airship with Gravity Magic and sped toward Fairy Tail, where Mirajane and Erza rushed out to greet him.
• Ywen told Makarov that he had taken the airship from Grimoire Heart and wiped out the Dark Guild, then brought out the badly injured Precht.
• Makarov recognized Precht, embraced him, and then pushed his wheelchair through Magnolia as Precht prepared to tell him what had happened.

Makarov took Precht through Magnolia, where they argued over Fairy Heart, family, and the paths they had chosen. Precht praised Makarov and reaffirmed his resolve to protect Mavis, then noticed Fairy Tail's guild hall had grown from three stories to six while Makarov tried to hide that it had been rebuilt.

• Makarov pushed Precht through Magnolia as Precht reflected on his fatal mistakes and admitted that Ywen had defeated him.
• Precht revealed that he had founded Grimoire Heart and explained that he had hidden in darkness to protect Fairy Heart and Mavis.
• Precht demanded to know whether Makarov would choose Fairy Heart or his guild family, and Makarov answered that he would choose family, including Mavis and Precht.
• Precht accepted that he and Makarov would follow different paths and said he would protect Fairy Heart and Mavis.
• Precht confessed that choosing Makarov as Fairy Tail's Third Guild Master was the decision he was proudest of, and Makarov wept at his praise.
• Precht noticed Fairy Tail's hall was six stories tall instead of three, and Makarov falsely claimed it had always been that way.

Makarov brought Precht back to Fairy Tail, where the rowdy guild and its members horrified him and convinced him that the place was a den of demons. After Ywen appeared and mentioned his sister wanted to spar, Precht interpreted it as a threat against any attempt to escape.

• Makarov pushed Precht into Fairy Tail, where Precht witnessed Gray, Natsu, Happy, and Lyon causing a chaotic scene while Ul tried to manage them.
• Precht saw Cana drinking heavily and Gildarts behaving perversely toward her, so Cana summoned Aileen and Selene, who appeared and beat Gildarts.
• Makarov introduced Precht to the guild as Fairy Tail's Second Guild Master, but the members largely ignored them, leaving Precht convinced the guild was a hellish place.
• Reis greeted Precht, who mistakenly believed Makarov had bound Reis's dead Anima to serve him and became even more determined to flee.
• Ywen approached Precht and said his sister wanted to spar with him, prompting Precht to interpret the offer as a warning that she would kill him if he tried to escape.

Ywen persuaded Precht to arrange a five-versus-five friendly exhibition match between Fairy Tail and Grimoire Heart. The chapter ended with Precht naming his team and Ywen choosing Gildarts, Erza, Mirajane, Laxus, and Kurnugi to compete.

• Precht avoided fighting Erza by proposing that the guilds' younger mages spar, but Ywen returned to the idea and asked Erza for her consent.
• After Erza agreed, Ywen proposed a five-versus-five exhibition match, and Precht accepted.
• Precht selected Bluenote, Azuma, Rustyrose, Kain Hikaru, and Zancrow for Grimoire Heart, warning Ywen that Bluenote was powerful.
• Ywen chose Gildarts, Erza, Mirajane, Laxus, and Kurnugi to represent Fairy Tail.

Ywen brought Bluenote and four Grimoire Heart officers into Fairy Tail, where Precht tested Bluenote's loyalty and watched Aileen and Selene clash. Precht misread Fairy Tail's strength and Makarov's activities as signs of a plan for world conquest, then confronted Makarov, who was bewildered.

• Ywen summoned Bluenote and four Grimoire Heart officers into the guild hall, and Bluenote and Precht briefly tested their magic power before Bluenote backed down.
• Ywen asked Aileen and Selene to lend him Gildarts, but Selene teased him until Aileen struck her, sparking another standoff between the two women.
• Precht saw Aileen and Selene's immense power and concluded that Fairy Tail had enough strength to challenge Zeref's Alvarez Empire.
• Precht interpreted Makarov's guild activities and gifted young members as evidence of secret schemes, including human trafficking and plans to conquer the world.
• Precht asked Makarov when he planned to start a war of world conquest, and Makarov froze in confusion.

Ywen began a Fairy Tail and Grimoire Heart exhibition tournament, introducing the competitors while Precht accused Makarov of running a dark guild. The chapter ended with Ywen teleporting Fiore's King Old Toma into the guild, giving Precht another reason to accuse Makarov of world conquest.

• Precht accused Makarov of controlling Fairy Tail through gambling, prostitution, drugs, and human trafficking, while Makarov denied the charges.
• Ywen opened the exhibition tournament and introduced Bluenote, Azuma, Rustyrose, Kain Hikaru, and Zancrow as Grimoire Heart's team, with Erza, Mirajane, Gildarts, Laxus, and Kurnugi representing Fairy Tail.
• Laxus, Erza, Mirajane, Gildarts, and Kurnugi argued over who would fight Grimoire Heart's members, while the two teams traded taunts and prepared to battle.
• Ywen teleported King Old Toma from the capital to Fairy Tail, where the king decided to enjoy the tournament.
• Precht recognized Old Toma and accused Makarov of having his guild kidnap the king, leaving Makarov unable to explain himself.

Ywen brought King Toma from the royal palace to Fairy Tail, where Makarov feared the guild would face consequences for the abduction. Toma watched the guild’s upcoming match against Grimoire Heart, but soon joined its members in drinking and gave away his crown and clothes, leaving Makarov in despair.

• Ywen teleported King Toma from the royal palace to Fairy Tail and left a note informing the royal court that the king was safe; the Minister of Civil Affairs vowed to hold the guild accountable.
• Ywen seated Aileen and Selene in the guild’s honored chairs, and Aileen told Toma she had once been a queen about four hundred years earlier.
• Ywen sent Toma to watch Fairy Tail’s match against Grimoire Heart with the guild members, who welcomed him and invited him to drink.
• Natsu took Toma’s crown, and Toma let him keep it; Gray then borrowed Toma’s clothes, while Lyon joined Toma in standing naked under Kuroko’s Basketball.
• Makarov watched Toma happily drink and mingle with the guild members, then collapsed in despair.

Gildarts, Laxus, Mirajane, Erza, and Kurnugi argued over who would face Bluenote, then settled the matter with an exhausting game of rock-paper-scissors. Kurnugi defeated Zancrow in one punch, and Laxus survived Azuma’s attack before defeating him with a lightning strike.

• Gildarts, Laxus, Mirajane, Erza, and Kurnugi played rock-paper-scissors for half an hour, and Kurnugi won by tricking the others with scissors.
• Kurnugi challenged Bluenote, who dismissed him as a brat, then punched Zancrow through the ceiling after Zancrow mocked his height.
• Azuma stepped forward to fight, and Laxus accepted the challenge after Gildarts, Erza, and Mirajane refused to face him.
• Azuma attacked Laxus with an explosion and believed he had won, but Laxus emerged unharmed and struck Azuma with lightning from above.
• Precht praised Laxus and the other Fairy Tail fighters’ strength while Makarov watched the battle.

Laxus defeated Azuma, and Precht welcomed the former Grimoire Heart mage into his new life as Fairy Tail’s Second Guild Master. Erza and Mirajane then won their matches against Rustyrose and Kain Hikaru, leaving Gildarts and Mirajane to face Bluenote’s challenge.

• Laxus defeated Azuma, who apologized to Precht before accepting him as Guild Master Precht instead of Hades.
• Bluenote ordered Rustyrose to fight Erza, and Erza quickly defeated him before beating him unconscious for insulting Ywen.
• Bluenote threw Rustyrose off the arena and dismissed him as unworthy of being a companion, angering Erza and Mirajane.
• Gildarts stopped Erza from attacking Bluenote, and she stepped down as Mirajane prepared to fight Kain Hikaru.
• Kain Hikaru demonstrated his Iron Body magic and asked Mirajane to surrender, but she transformed into Satan Soul and shattered his metallic body with one punch.

Mirajane defeated Kain Hikaru, leaving Gildarts and Bluenote to face each other in the final battle. As Makarov welcomed Precht back to Fairy Tail, Precht misread Makarov’s words and imagined that he was secretly plotting to dominate both the light and dark magic worlds, then resolved to stop him.

• Ywen declared Mirajane the winner, and Mirajane told Gildarts to handle the final battle against Bluenote.

• Makarov welcomed Precht back and spoke happily about Mavis and Warrod, while Precht imagined that Makarov had turned Fairy Tail into a secret power controlling the magic world.
• Precht connected Fairy Tail’s recent actions to a plot to dominate both the light and dark sides, then wheeled himself toward the restroom, convinced he had to guide Makarov back onto the right path.

Gildarts rejected Bluenote’s belief that strength separated him from ordinary mages, explaining that fear of death had driven his own growth. He effortlessly defeated Bluenote, though his attack destroyed much of Fairy Tail’s guild hall and blasted a channel through Magnolia’s river toward the sea.

• Bluenote boasted that he and Gildarts were alike in pursuing magical power, but Gildarts said he had never sought strength or fame and valued using power to protect people.
• Gildarts explained that fear of death and the harsh training he endured from Irene Belserion and Selene had made him stronger, leaving Bluenote stunned and enraged.
• Bluenote attacked Gildarts with Super Gravity Ball, but Gildarts destroyed the sphere with Crush Magic and struck Bluenote with a blast.
• Gildarts’s attack obliterated Bluenote, half the arena, and a wall of Fairy Tail, while also blasting apart the riverbed and reaching the sea.
• Gildarts apologized for failing to hold back, and Ywen declared him the winner before Gildarts left the arena to get a drink.

After Fairy Tail defeated Grimoire Heart, Old Toma joined the guild and proposed a world-class Grand Magic Games. Ywen planned to postpone the event until he dealt with Little Black, while Precht concluded that Makarov was plotting to conquer the world.

• Fairy Tail celebrated winning all five matches against Grimoire Heart while Makarov mourned the damage to the guildhall.
• Old Toma told Ywen he wanted to organize a world-class Grand Magic Games, and Ywen received missions to help stage it and prevent it from destroying Earth-land.

• Fairy Tail members revealed that Old Toma had joined the guild, with its emblem stamped on his butt, and Makarov admitted his tacit approval while holding a check.
• Old Toma planned to use Fairy Tail's backing at the Kings' Conference, while Makarov gained a wealthy patron; Precht interpreted the arrangement as part of Makarov's plan to conquer the world.

Ywen sent Old Toma back to the palace after the king enjoyed himself with Fairy Tail, while the guild wizards remained unaware of his identity. At a meeting to plan the king’s rescue, the Magic Knight captains discovered that Toma had returned—and that he bore Fairy Tail’s emblem.

• Ywen refused Old Toma’s request to stay at Fairy Tail and teleported him back to the palace, warning the guild wizards they might regret how they had treated their guest.
• The Magic Knight captains gathered at the palace after hearing that Fairy Tail had kidnapped Toma, and White Tiger warned them that Fairy Tail’s wizards were far too powerful to provoke.
• Chaixiu argued for an army attack, but White Tiger and Arcadios urged the captains to focus on rescuing Toma rather than fighting among themselves.
• Toma entered the conference room naked, with Kuroko's Basketball covering his crotch, and Arcadios realized he had somehow returned from Fairy Tail.
• White Tiger recognized Fairy Tail’s emblem on Toma’s butt, prompting the minister and captains to agree to pretend their meeting had never happened.
• Chaixiu angrily confronted the fact that Toma himself had joined Fairy Tail.

• Makarov bid Precht farewell, but Precht refused to call Fairy Tail home and asked for his airship back.
• Ywen refused to return the airship, then also refused to return Precht’s heart until Makarov intervened.

• Atop Fairy Tail’s back mountain, Precht declared they would sever ties with Grimoire Heart and rename their guild Light Heart.
• Azuma and the others accepted Precht’s belief that they could become Mages of Light.

After Precht left Fairy Tail, a Fiore Kingdom soldier delivered the free alcohol King Toma had promised the guild. The Mages feared the liquor was poisoned because they had drunkenly humiliated the king the previous night, but Cana and the others drank it safely, and the guild celebrated.

• Erza, Laxus, and Mirajane regretted missing their chance to challenge or learn from Precht after he left Fairy Tail.
• A Fiore Kingdom soldier arrived and announced that King Toma would provide Fairy Tail with free alcohol, including unlimited drinks at royal taverns, then delivered crates to the guild.
• The Mages realized Natsu’s crown came from the real King Toma and panicked as they remembered how they had mistreated him at the previous night’s banquet.
• After the soldier’s mysterious farewell, the Mages suspected the king had poisoned the alcohol, but Cana drank a bottle without harm.
• The Mages tried the liquor, confirmed it was safe and delicious, and resumed their celebration.

After Fairy Tail defeated Grimoire Heart, Tartaros began its plan to destroy the Magic Council and Fairy Tail and obtain Nirvana and Face. Precht confronted Warrod over his application to establish Light Heart, then killed the demon Jackal when he attacked the Council.

• News spread across Ishgar that Fairy Tail had defeated Grimoire Heart and Hades had died, prompting Tartaros’s acting Guild Master to order Kyoka to pursue two key items.

Bluenote and Jellal defeated Tartaros demons at the Magic Council, while Warrod and Precht warned that Tartaros posed a threat to the world. At Fairy Tail, Suzutsuki Seilah arrived to destroy the guild but was captured by Ywen, who revealed that Zeref was reachable and suggested Tartaros was effectively a Fairy Tail branch.

• Precht told Warrod that the attackers were demons from Tartaros and warned that their next move could threaten the world.
