Natsu and the others battle the Tartaros demons in order to stop
What's this? She's so absorbed in battle
that she's forgotten my voice.
the launch of the anti-magic pulse bombs, Face.
But at least it seems she's doing her job.
Meanwhile, Mard Geer explains the true meaning of the Face launch.
Hey, why the hell would you wanna wipe out magic all across the continent?
Oh, didn't I tell you?
By removing all magic, END's seal will also be broken.
That book...
Right now, he is in that form,
but END is the strongest demon of the Books of Zeref and the master of Tartaros.
By reviving END,
we shall be able to return to Zeref.
Dammit! I can't move!
Natsu-san! Dodge it!
This damn...
Ice?
And just when Natsu is in a pinch...
This is... my scarf...
I found it.
If it's important to you, don't lose it again.
Gray...
Ice Magic! Zero Sword!
There's no reason to be scared of this bozo!
Charge!
My name is Mard Geer Tartaros.
King of the Underworld and an absolute demon.
Natsu...
Yeah, I know.
In the name of Fairy Tail, we're gonna take you down!
Come, humans.
This is the final battle.
Freeze!
Burn!
Tartaros Arc: Memento Mori
Let go of me, you bastard!
This is the world on the other side of the underworld gate.
I'm going to scrape away everything.
Even your emotions...
No one can take away the light...
...that shines on my path!
Sh-She stood up!
Even after being stripped of the five senses...
Erza!
Impressed but not surprised!
Erza-san is incredible!
Fro thinks so, too!
Erza...
That's... impossible...
Even if I can't see anything...
Even if I can't hear anything...
...there's a light inside of me.
The path I've walked down with my comrades...
...is illuminating my tomorrow!
I have nothing to fear!
This doesn't even count as pain!
Well, we're off to the guild.
Yeah. Tell Master.
Do whatever he has to with Lumen Histoire to stop Face!
I will.
Still, what a hot outfit!
I told you, your inner voice is leaking out!
To begin with, this isn't the time or place for that kind of thinking!
I know, but...
Well, let's go, everyone.
Oh, Wendy. Cutting her hair has made her even stronger.
Elf-nii-chan...
You don't gotta worry about me.
I know. See you later.
Did you bring our lady into this?
That girl was useless.
I thought she would improve slightly if given the power of a demon,
but it seems weaklings will always be weaklings.
I am going to leave you here.
Abandon your weak heart, your tears, everything.
In this forest full of savage beasts,
only death awaits the crying weak.
You may return home when all your tears have dried up.
She's your daughter!
My daughter?
It can't be!
How can you have this much power left?!
You harmed the people I care about too much.
D-Don't!
Suffer the consequences!
Stop! I... I...
Nakagami Asterism!
No!
I only had her to pass down my powerful blood to future generations.
Shut up!
No effect!
You two whelps think you've taken over Sabertooth at this level?
We...
...took Sabertooth back!
Back to what a guild is supposed to be...
Don't make me laugh!
Sabertooth is meant to be the strongest!
But your weakness has ruined it!
I admit it, we were...
...weak.
But that weakness...
...isn't the kind of weakness you're talking about.
What?
The weakness of thinking of fellow members as less than comrades.
Begone!
Sting-kun!
Lector!
Lector is... gone...
Frosch!
Rogue...
This is an eyesore.
I suppose it's what I get for letting cats bear the crest of my guild.
Keep it down, Sting.
What did you do?!
What the hell did you do?!
Silence! Bawling over a stupid cat!
We want nothing more to do with a guild like that.
To become a strong guild in its truest sense...
...we've started again from zero!
That's why it's high time...
...you begone!
A truly strong guild, you say?
I've learned that doesn't exist!
The strongest is the individual!
And that is my individual will!
You're wrong. It does exist.
A strong guild...
...is right around the corner.
We're lucky...
...to have met such a strong, kind...
The ultimate pain is the pain of losing friends!
That's the way, Erza!
...honest guild!
Fools!
Only one is the strongest!
Relying on others is weak! Weak! Weak! Weak!
That is the ultimate weakling!
Even so, we're living for somebody else's sake!
We love someone in order to live!
Just like Fairy Tail...
...we're strong!
Nonsense!
We'll sew up your twisted wound...
...with a white and black bond!
Silk of the White Shadow Dragon!
It... can't be...
The rest...
...is up... to you...
Yeah!
Look out!
Th-Thank you.
Don't just stand there in a daze!
Are you all right?
Porlyusica-san!
Old lady.
We brought it.
The blood of the guy who has anti-magic particles?
Yeah. Thanks to this guy.
Didn't think he'd go that far.
He's one tough mother.
As reckless as always...
Sheesh. Who does he remind me of?
But now I can make the vaccine.
I can save all of you.
Roar of the...
...Fire Dragon!
Rage of the...
...Ice Demon!
Dea Yggdrasil!
Ice Make!
Gungnir!
That's cold!
Inside the ice?!
Brilliant Flame...
...of the Fire Dragon!
What is this guy, invulnerable?
Not if my magic hits him...
You showed me a good time...
...human wizards.
Long ago,
magic was born as one.
Eventually, it developed into a great number of varieties.
During that historical time, END discovered a new possibility for magic.
Curse power.
The sources of that power are curses,
grudges, jealousies, hatreds...
All of those negative emotions become power.
Power based on the essence of life.
What a load of crap.
If that's the case, then magic will create the future!
W-What is this?
Fog?! No...
My body!
Can't move...
Magic has no future.
Curse power is superior in regards to everything.
Go to purgatory.
This is the ultimate Curse power that I devised to destroy Zeref!
Memory of death.
Memento Mori!
To kill the immortal Zeref,
the notion of life and death will be destroyed!
Anyone hit by this Curse will be neither dead nor alive.
They will just vanish.
The future...
Become nothing...
...for eternity.
It is done.
The ultimate Curse power, Memento Mori.
Now I just need to revive END...
...and I can destroy you... I can destroy Zeref.
Mard Geer's ultimate Curse power has even taken down the tag team of Natsu and Gray.
Is anyone left to hinder Tartaros's ambitions?
At the same time, the Face countdown is at 00:00.
Just as magic is about to disappear from the world,
people looking up in the sky witness something extremely unusual.
Next time: Tartaros Arc: Dancing Over Ishgar.
Tartaros Arc: Dancing Over Ishgar
That miracle is in the air!
