Chapter Summaries

After defeating Acnologia, Ywen recruited him into Fairy Tail and revealed the guild’s plan to challenge Ankhseram, while the mages returned to Magnolia. Lucy ended the day believing the S-Class Mage Examination was over, only to learn it had not even begun and that she had been beaten for nothing.

• Ywen told Acnologia that the Five Dragon Gods were only part of the mission and revealed that Fairy Tail intended to kill Ankhseram; Acnologia agreed to join the fight.
• Ywen and Sanya tricked Acnologia into accepting Fairy Tail’s guild mark, and Ywen announced that the S-Class Mage Examination was suspended as the mages returned to Magnolia.
• Natsu challenged Ywen with Igneel’s power but was immediately punched into the sky, after which the Fairy Tail mages went through Ywen’s portal back to town.
• Lucy returned home, where she found Natsu, Ignia, Happy, and Igneel occupying her bed.
• Natsu told Lucy that the S-Class Mage Examination would officially begin in a week, and Lucy realized she had been beaten by Acnologia for nothing.

Natsu dragged a reluctant Lucy to Fairy Tail’s S-Class Mage Examination, where the guild debated the likely winners and Lucy’s odds of being eliminated first. Makarov revealed that Lucy did have a teammate: Acnologia, whose arrival left the other candidates convinced they could not win.

• Natsu and Happy encouraged Lucy to take the examination, and she agreed after Natsu refused to go easy on her.
• Natsu and Lucy arrived late at the guild, where Natsu and his teammate Ajeel immediately argued and clashed.
• Gildarts named five powerful teams as the likely contenders, while the guild’s gamblers bet that Lucy would be eliminated first; Makarov wagered against them.
• Makarov announced that Lucy had a second teammate and introduced the Black Dragon King, Acnologia.
• Acnologia appeared at the guild, and the other S-Class Mage candidates complained that the examination was now impossible to win.

Lucy discovered that Acnologia was her teammate for Fairy Tail’s X784 S-Class Mage Examination, while Makarov began the examination on Tenrou Island. Acnologia destroyed the examination grounds and attacked the candidates, and the chapter ended with Precht recognizing Fairy Tail’s emblem on the Black Dragon.

• Gray confirmed Acnologia’s identity and explained that Ywen, Aileen, Selene, Ignia, August, and Zeref had joined forces to defeat him before he joined Fairy Tail.
• Makarov refused the gamblers’ refund demands, while Lucy reacted with excitement and fear after realizing Acnologia was her teammate; Loke hinted that Selene had helped arrange it.
• Makarov opened a portal to Tenrou Island and explained that teams would enter thirteen caves, but Acnologia destroyed the mountain and challenged all the other candidates.
• Freed gave the candidates wings with Dark Ecriture, but Acnologia transformed into a dragon and chased them through the sky as Lucy cheered him on.
• August brought Mavis, Precht, and Warrod to Tenrou Island, where they saw the candidates fleeing Acnologia; Precht recognized Fairy Tail’s emblem on the dragon and asked Makarov why he had recruited Acnologia.

Acnologia defeated Fairy Tail’s S-Class Mage candidates and challenged the guild’s active S-Class Mages before passing the examination alongside Lucy. Just as Makarov announced their success, Ignia objected to Acnologia becoming an S-Class Mage and attacked him, sending both dragons skyward.

• Precht mistook Fairy Tail’s emblem on Acnologia for evidence that Makarov intended to destroy the world, while Makarov defended the guild’s status as a model Light Mage Guild.
• Acnologia easily defeated the S-Class Mage candidates, and Wendy and Gajeel reunited with Grandeeney and Metallicana in cat bodies after Ywen transferred their consciousnesses.
• Acnologia chose to challenge the active S-Class Mages rather than fight Lucy, then defeated Laxus and Serena with a single strike and ignored Erza’s challenge.
• Makarov declared Acnologia and Lucy the winners of the examination, and the other S-Class Mages raised no objections.
• Ignia objected to Acnologia becoming an S-Class Mage, challenged him to a fight, and transformed with him into a dragon before they flew into the sky.

Ywen revealed his full Dragon God form and stopped Acnologia and Ignia’s fight, then Fairy Tail returned to Magnolia, where Lucy and Acnologia were declared this year’s S-Class Mage winners. The guild’s celebrations spiraled into a destructive brawl, and Ywen ended the chapter eyeing the Hundred-Year Mission as his next challenge.

• Acnologia and Ignia fought evenly until Ywen transformed into a thousand-meter Dragon God and restrained them, forcing both dragon kings to concede.
• Fairy Tail returned to Magnolia, where Makarov announced Lucy Heartfilia and Acnologia as the new S-Class Mages, provoking objections from the guild’s gamblers and candidates.
• Natsu defended Lucy’s promotion, but his challenge sparked a guild-wide brawl that destroyed the guild hall, with August’s attempt to restore it making the damage worse.
• Ywen watched Lucy face the consequences of becoming an S-Class Mage, then turned his attention to the Hundred-Year Mission and the other Dragon Gods.

After Fairy Tail’s S-Class Mages hit a training bottleneck, Ywen announced that the guild would relocate to Guiltina to face stronger opponents, and its eager members chose to take on the continent’s powerful forces. Meanwhile, news of the move alarmed Precht and delighted most guilds in Ishgar, while Zeref arrived at the Fiore royal palace.

• Lucy struggled with the flood of challengers, paid to remain in Fairy Tail’s no-challenge zone, and faced Kagura, Juvia, and Lisanna whenever she considered leaving it.
• Laxus and Ul admitted they had reached a bottleneck, briefly squared off, then abandoned their fight for lack of interest in facing familiar opponents.
• Makarov gathered Fairy Tail’s members and revealed that Ywen had ordered the guild to relocate to Guiltina for deeper training.
• Ywen explained that Guiltina was home to Dragons and warned that powerful organizations there had a grudge against him, so Natsu and the others volunteered to face them.
• Precht read his spy’s report and mistook Fairy Tail’s move to Guiltina for the start of Makarov’s world-conquest plan, while guild masters across Ishgar celebrated the guild’s departure.
• Zeref appeared at the Fiore royal palace, where King Toma remarked that he had not destroyed the gate.

Zeref asked Old Toma to gather the Fiore Kingdom’s resources for a tournament that would power the Eclipse Gate and enable mortals to challenge the gods. Meanwhile, Aileen teleported Fairy Tail’s guild hall to Guiltina, where the guild immediately clashed with Diabolos.

• Zeref visited Old Toma and revealed he wanted to use the Eclipse Gate to reach the gods’ domain and fight them.
• Zeref asked Old Toma to organize a grand martial tournament to generate magic power, promising the Eclipse Gate to the Fiore Family afterward.
• Old Toma agreed and named the planned event the God Sealing Festival.
• Aileen teleported Fairy Tail’s guild hall from Magnolia to a town in Guiltina, leaving the residents and Sir John startled.
• Aileen told the guild that Diabolos, a hostile Mage Guild, was based in the same town and urged Fairy Tail’s Mages to drive them out.
• Kiria approached Fairy Tail’s guild hall, but Natsu struck her with Fire Dragon King’s Roar as Fairy Tail’s Mages came out to confront Diabolos.

Fairy Tail defeated Kiria and confronted Misaki, while Diabolos learned that the invading guild was unusually powerful and set out to investigate. As Misaki prepared to fight, Dimaria stopped time and tore away her clothes.

• Natsu punched Kiria into the sky, and she crashed into a crater outside Fairy Tail before Misaki arrived and teleported Natsu away.
• Kiria woke up, but Jacob used Spatial Magic to transfer her elsewhere as Misaki confronted Fairy Tail and demanded Natsu in exchange for her sister.
• Madmole returned to Diabolos and reported that Fairy Tail was powerful and that Misaki had not returned; Georg Raizen led the Black Dragon Slayer Knights toward the guild after sensing a dragon’s presence.
• Misaki threatened Fairy Tail and prepared to use her magic, but Dimaria stopped time, approached her, and tore away her uniform.

Fairy Tail battled Diabolos across the town as Misaki, Kirin, and Jorg faced the guild’s strongest fighters. Dimaria subdued Misaki, Laxus clashed with Kirin, and Fairy Tail overwhelmed Diabolos, leaving Erza to demand that its mages name the strongest guild in Guiltina.

• Dimaria used her future sight to defeat Misaki and Jacob stored the unconscious Misaki alongside Kiria and Natsu, while Laxus left to confront Diabolos.
• Laxus fought Kirin after Kirin blocked his lightning, and the two matched each other with magic drawn from the same dragon before turning to other techniques.
• Gildarts struck Jorg into the air with Conqueror’s Haki and Crush, then sent Fairy Tail’s mages into battle against Diabolos.
• Erza defeated Suzaku with one sword strike and controlled him with her Magnet-Magnet Fruit, while Invel used Ice Slavery to make Haku attack her own guildmates.
• Fairy Tail destroyed Diabolos’s headquarters, defeated its forces, and surrounded the remaining mages as Erza demanded they identify Guiltina’s strongest Mage Guild.

Fairy Tail defeated Diabolos, captured its mages, and forced them to swear off hunting dragons and eating dragon flesh. After Fairy Tail released them, the guild attacked again, and Ywen sent Guild Master Jorg flying with a single kick; Misaki agreed to join Fairy Tail, but Erza refused until everyone had finished fighting Diabolos.

• Erza’s Fairy Tail mages celebrated Diabolos’s defeat as its remaining fighters fled, while Erza used her magnetic Dragon Slayer power to capture Madmole and made him sign a contract to serve as her shield in exchange for teaching Suzaku swordsmanship and Haki.
• Bradman confronted Scalio as he tried to escape, disrupted his transformation into ash with Magic Particles, and struck him down.
• Erza offered Misaki’s captured guild two choices: join Fairy Tail or swear not to hunt dragons that had not attacked humans or consume dragon flesh; Misaki chose the oath, and Jacob released the prisoners.
• Mirajane led Fairy Tail in attacking the released Diabolos mages, while Ultear sold property insurance to the townspeople; Jorg returned but Ywen kicked him away before he could turn the battle around.
• Fairy Tail captured Diabolos again, and Misaki agreed to join the guild, but Erza refused to accept them until all Fairy Tail members had had their chance to fight.

Ywen defeated Jorg by stripping away his magic and launching him into outer space, while Fairy Tail continued breaking Diabolos’s resistance. Ywen and four other Dragons then traveled to Magic Array Dragon to meet Elefseria, who was left stunned by their transformations.

• Ywen condemned Jorg’s Dragon Eater beliefs, transformed into an Azure Dragon, stripped away Jorg’s magic, and sent him flying into outer space with Raimei Hakke.
• Laxus defeated Kirin with scarlet lightning and Armament Haki, then asked Freed to check on his fallen opponent.
• After three days of repeated defeats by Fairy Tail, the exhausted Diabolos Mages began losing faith in their guild and their Dragon Eater path.
• Ywen, Aileen, Selene, Ignia, and Acnologia agreed to complete the Hundred-Year Mission and teleported to Magic Array Dragon to meet Elefseria.
• Elefseria recognized Selene and Ignia, then watched Ywen and the others transform into Dragons.

Ywen and Fairy Tail met Elefseria to discuss the Hundred-Year Mission, and Aileen’s guidance led him to revise it so only harmful Dragon Gods needed to be sealed. As the group planned how to handle the remaining Dragon Gods, Elefseria accidentally revealed that he knew they intended to slay a god.

• Ywen, Aileen, Selene, Ignia, and Acnologia transformed into dragons, demolished the Magic Array Dragon guild hall, and confronted Elefseria.
• Ywen introduced Fairy Tail and its members; Elefseria recognized Aileen as the creator of Dragon Slayer Magic and asked her to accept him as a disciple, which she agreed to do.
• Elefseria explained the Hundred-Year Mission, and Selene challenged his account of her attacks on the continent before Ywen intervened.
• Ignia revealed that Damagral was alive and nearing resurrection, while Ywen and Elefseria agreed to revise the mission to target only Dragon Gods who threatened humanity.
• Ywen assigned Ignia to keep Damagral contained, then Selene asked Elefseria about Athena and mocked his inability to find her.
• Elefseria praised Selene as an ally and mentioned the group’s plan to slay a god, prompting Ywen and the others to question how he knew about it.

Selene revealed that the Dragon Gods and their allies planned to slay God Ankhseram, and Elefseria was pressured into joining them. The group traveled to Elmina to confront Water Dragon Mercphobia, while Ignia and Acnologia raced to find him; Mercphobia and Calmira faced a blazing attack that made the sea vanish.

• Selene disclosed the godslaying plan and recruited a horrified Elefseria, who learned that their target was God Ankhseram.
• Ywen assigned Ignia to deal with Earth Dragon God Damagral and led the others toward Water Dragon Mercphobia; Ignia destroyed Elefseria's guild ceiling, and Selene destroyed it again before the group departed.
• Ywen, Aileen, Selene, and Acnologia arrived in Elmina, where Ignia claimed he had persuaded Damagral and was waiting for them.
• Ignia provoked Acnologia into a contest to find Mercphobia first, and the two dragon kings flew toward the sea.
• Mercphobia sensed Ignia, Selene, and three other powerful visitors, urged Calmira to leave, and prepared for their arrival.
• A blazing sun descended as Calmira spoke, and the sea vanished.

Ywen learned that Ignia and Damagral planned to use Damagral’s labyrinth to split up their allies and seize control of Fairy Tail, while Aileen deduced the scheme and advised turning it against them. At Mercphobia’s palace, Ignia confronted the Water dragon God, who revealed his growing power and asked to be killed; Aileen arrived with Ywen and Selene and proposed separating Mercphobia from that power instead.

• Ywen’s mission system revealed that Ignia and Damagral were plotting to take control of Fairy Tail, and Aileen inferred that they planned to use Damagral’s labyrinth to isolate and defeat their allies.
• Ignia confronted Mercphobia after evaporating the sea around his palace, mocked his past cruelty, and pressured him as Calmira questioned whether his accusations were true.
• Mercphobia admitted that Ignia’s claims about his past were true, but Calmira embraced him and affirmed her faith in the gentler person he had become.
• Mercphobia put Calmira to sleep and asked Ignia to kill him, explaining that his rapidly increasing power threatened the people he cherished and that he had sworn not to fight the gods.
• Ignia prepared to attack Mercphobia after failing to recruit him, but Aileen, Ywen, and Selene arrived, and Aileen proposed separating Mercphobia from his power.

Aileen separated Mercphobia’s magic power and attached it to Ywen, who absorbed it and grew stronger before the group left to confront Wood Dragon Aldoron. In Drasil, they learned Aldoron used the town and its people to gather energy, and Ywen began fighting the tree-like villagers blocking his path.

• Aileen explained that her Detach and Attach Magic could remove Mercphobia’s power, and Mercphobia agreed to cooperate after she promised it would not be used to harm the world.
• Aileen attached Mercphobia’s separated power to Ywen, who absorbed it, raised his magic power to level fifteen, and gained Water Dragon God Mode.
• Ywen and the others left Mercphobia with Calmira and traveled through Selene’s portal to Drasil, where they learned the town stood on Aldoron’s right hand and its residents were nourishment for the Wood Dragon.
• Selene explained that five crystals in Aldoron’s five towns had to be destroyed to awaken him, and Acnologia, Ignia, and Aileen set off to attack the other towns.
• Ywen approached the crystal in Drasil, punched away an old man made of wood, and pushed forward despite the villagers condemning him.

Ywen, Aileen, Acnologia, Ignia, and Selene destroyed Aldoron's five Magic Crystals and awakened the Wood Dragon God, but his hidden God Seeds let him survive their attacks. Ywen transformed into his enormous Susanoo Dragon Form and towered over Aldoron, leaving the battle poised for his next strike.

• Ywen burned through Aldoron's treants with his Azure Dragon's Crushing Fist, then summoned a meteor that flattened the city and destroyed its crystal.
• Aileen detached treants from Aldoron and teleported them away, then shattered another crystal, while Acnologia devoured treants and blasted Aldoron's back.
• Ignia and Selene destroyed two more crystals, and Acnologia's attack destroyed the last one, awakening Aldoron.
• Aldoron confronted the attackers, but Ywen struck his head; then Ignia, Selene, and Acnologia unleashed a combined roar that tore through much of Aldoron's body.
• Selene explained that Aldoron's hidden God Seeds were his true body and that he could regenerate unless they were destroyed along with his outer body.
• Ywen revealed his Azure Dragon Form, then used Flame Dragon Torch to magnify himself into a colossal Susanoo Dragon Form and taunted Aldoron for calling him small.

Ywen defeated Aldoron and pressured Ignia into letting Erza, Mirajane, and Natsu train in Damagral’s Great Labyrinth. In Fairy Tail Town, Makarov accidentally lost a lucrative contract when Natsu led Diabolos Mages into a fight, and Diabolos rallied behind Natsu and Suzaku’s claims that Fairy Tail mistreated Dragon Slayer Mages.

• Ywen transformed into a gigantic Fire Dragon, defeated Aldoron with Fire Dragon Bagua, and left the Wood Dragon God dead.
• Ywen questioned Ignia about Damagral’s Great Labyrinth and secured his agreement to send Erza, Mirajane, and Natsu there to train.
• Makarov rejected the mayor’s offer to pay Fairy Tail 1.2 billion J annually, then watched Natsu burn the contract during an attack on the guild.
• Makarov knocked Natsu unconscious and drove the attacking Diabolos Mages out of Fairy Tail Guild.
• Kiria, Misaki, Kirin, and White Tiger rallied Diabolos around Natsu, while Suzaku returned with Madmole, Gajeel, and God Serena.
• Gajeel accused Erza of treating Dragon Slayer Mages as weapons, and Diabolos vowed to destroy Fairy Tail and rescue them.

Ywen’s Fairy Tail meeting covered the nearly completed Hundred-Year Mission and August’s discovery that Golden Owl and its weapon, Athena, threatened the Dragon Gods; Zeref went to confront Athena. Meanwhile, Gajeel led Diabolos to Fairy Tail to target Erza, but his mages mistakenly challenged Aileen, leaving Gajeel horrified.

• Ywen told Fairy Tail that the Dragon Gods had mostly been dealt with and that he planned to remain in Guiltina to train the guild’s mages; he refused Makarov’s offer to become Guild Master and nominated Gildarts instead.
• August revealed that Golden Owl’s Duke Barbaroa had created Athena, who led the White Magic Cult and might be able to control Dragon Gods; he said Athena could refine concepts and transform corpses into near-identical living people.
• August sent Zeref to investigate Athena, and Zeref confronted her at the White Magic Cult, demanding that she leave Golden Owl and join Fairy Tail; their magic flattened the cult’s headquarters.
• Gajeel instructed Diabolos to target Erza Belserion rather than Fairy Tail as a whole, then led the mages to the guild hall.
• Diabolos entered Fairy Tail and accused Aileen of corrupting the guild, while Gajeel panicked and insisted they had the wrong person and should not mention his name.

Aileen, August, Selene, Ignia, and Acnologia overwhelmed Diabolos, while Ywen spared the Dragon Eaters by setting a contest in Damagral’s Great Labyrinth. After teleporting the competitors there, Ywen confronted Ignia about his secret dealings with Damagral.

• Gajeel’s Diabolos recruits mistook Aileen for Erza, charged her, and were transformed into frogs; Aileen threatened to turn Gajeel into a mealworm.
• Diabolos’s main force arrived with Natsu, Gajeel, and God Serena, but August’s magic power terrified the guild’s fighters.
• Selene, Ignia, and Acnologia confronted one another, and Aileen joined them before Ywen released his magic power and subdued the Dragon Eaters.
• Ywen offered Diabolos a chance to escape punishment by retrieving an old man’s heart from Damagral’s Great Labyrinth, with Fairy Tail competing against them.
• Selene and Aileen teleported both groups into the labyrinth, where Fairy Tail and Diabolos began fighting at the entrances.
• Ywen accused Ignia of conspiring with Damagral, and Ignia’s guilty reaction confirmed Ywen had discovered their secret plan.

Ywen and the Fairy Tail mages entered Damagral’s Great Labyrinth to find Elefseria’s heart, while Ignia confessed that he had plotted with Damagral to claim the guild master position. Damagral activated the moving labyrinth and transformed to face Ignia, Selene, and Acnologia, but Ywen arrived and slapped him into a wall.

• Ywen exposed Ignia’s plan to use Damagral’s labyrinth to separate Fairy Tail’s mages and defeat them, then the guild members beat Ignia until he confessed.
• Lucy explained the heart-search mission to her group, but Elfman, the Thunder God Tribe, and Juvia each set off with their own priorities.
• Erza split the mages into groups and gave them Bickslow’s communicating dolls before leading Lucy and the others into the labyrinth.
• Damagral revived the labyrinth and sent its moving walls crushing toward Erza’s group, who dodged them but became separated from Lucy.
• Natsu and his followers chased Lucy through the labyrinth while Damagral sensed an approaching threat and transformed into a rock dragon.
• Ywen arrived with Ignia, Selene, and Acnologia, introduced himself to Damagral, and struck the Earth Dragon God with a massive slap.
