Wendy Marvell and her friends discover that Face consists of several thousand other bombs situated across Fiore. Erza Scarlet duels Minerva Orland, who has been transformed into a demon of Tartaros, but both stop after realizing the pointlessness of their fighting. Following a note sent by Erza earlier, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney arrive and rescue the two from Mard Geer. Meanwhile, Gray Fullbuster is drawn into a private confrontation with Silver, whom he recognizes as his father previously killed by the demon Deliora. The demon slayer says that he is actually Deliora possessing Silver's corpse, enraging Gray. After gravely injuring him, Gray realizes that Silver really is his undead father and refuses to kill him. Unable to cope with his existence, Silver telepathically requests Juvia Lockser to mercifully kill him by destroying Keyes, the necromancer demon controlling him. Juvia reluctantly complies, preventing Keyes from using Crawford's body to remotely detonate Face. Before fading away, Silver bestows his demon-slaying powers onto Gray, who vows to destroy E.N.D. | |||||

Fairy Tail learns from Mest that Makarov has traveled to negotiate peace with the Alvarez Empire, a military nation that dwarfs Ishgal. Having not heard back from Makarov since the year they disbanded, Natsu and his friends organize a rescue team and head towards the empire. They are impeded by Brandish μ, one of Emperor Spriggan's elite Spriggan 12 bodyguard unit that rival the power of Ishgal's strongest Wizard Saint, God Serena, who has defected to join the twelve. Fairy Tail manages to reach the empire aboard a submarine captained by Crime Sorcière member Sorano Agria (formerly Oración Seis' Angel).

Cornered by Ajeel, the Fairy Tail wizards are rescued by the arrival of Laxus on Blue Pegasus's airship. They return to Ishgal and reinstate Makarov as their master. Makarov and Mavis explain to the guild that Zeref's target, Lumen Histoire, is a wellspring of infinite magic energy known as Fairy Heart. In a flashback, a young Mavis encounters Zeref and becomes cursed with the same immortality and life-stealing powers as the dark wizard. The two fall in love over their mutual sympathy for each other, but Zeref sends Mavis into a state between life and death because his curse kills those he cherishes, yet cannot kill an immortal. Mavis's state of being produces Fairy Heart, which Zeref intends to use against Acnologia. Back in the present, Fairy Tail prepares for Alvarez's assault. The wizards manage to hold off the empire's first strike headed by Ajeel, but despair when they discover their enemy's forces are approaching them in all directions. | |||||

Aquarius appears and proves Layla's innocence by showing them Grammi's death at the hands of Zoldio.

Wendy and Sherria team up against DiMaria Yesta, a member of the Spriggan 12 who uses her time-stopping ability to attack the girls. While time is frozen, a magical projection of Ultear manifests and unfreezes the girls. After DiMaria reveals herself to be possessing a deity, Sherria amplifies her god-slaying magic with Ultear's Third Origin spell to defeat DiMaria, permanently losing her own magic power as a result. In Magnolia, Spriggan 12 assassin Jacob Lessio infiltrates Fairy Tail's guildhall and, capable of seeing Mavis's spirit, attacks her. Natsu recovers and helps Lucy fight Jacob to release their allies he has trapped. In Hargeon, Erza, Kagura and Jellal join forces against another of the twelve, Neinhart, who pits Fairy Tail and their allies against constructs of their deceased loved ones and enemies.

Jellal and the rest of Fairy Tail's allies defeat Neinhart and his creations, liberating Hargeon. In northern Fiore, Gajeel leads a team to assist Saber Tooth and Blue Pegasus, who have been wiped out by Bloodman, one of the Spriggan 12. Gajeel and Levy fight Bloodman, who wields the same powers as the demons of Tartaros, and defeat him when Gajeel achieves Dragon Force. Mortally injured, Bloodman drags Gajeel and himself into the underworld. East of Magnolia, Brandish brings Natsu, Lucy and Happy to negotiate a ceasefire with August, a wizard regarded as the mightiest man of the Spriggan 12. Mest follows, distrustful of Brandish, and manipulates her into attempting to kill August instead. August responds by nearly annihilating the group in a display of immense magic power, but Natsu helps them survive. Meanwhile, Irene Belserion, a scarlet-haired woman and August's equal in power among the twelve, deems much of the war pointless; after a direct confrontation with Acnologia fails, she casts the forbidden spell Universe One, which drastically shrinks the country's size and scatters both friend and foe to random locations. This includes Gajeel, who encounters a projection of Zera, Mavis's late childhood friend, appearing after Cana Alberona releases Mavis from her stasis. Zera telepathically contacts Fairy Tail's members and directs them to their guildhall, where Mavis comes face-to-face with Zeref. | |||||

Zeref orders his remaining forces to assemble at the hilltop where Fairy Tail's guildhall now stands. Fairy Tail's members advance through Alvarez's army, assisted by the return of Gildarts Clive, who defeats a replica of God Serena conjured by Neinhart. Brandish takes Natsu, Lucy and Happy away from the battle, intent on keeping them out of the war. Natsu, however, demonstrates his conviction by defeating an empowered Neinhart. Meanwhile, Gray duels Zeref's chief of staff, Invel Yura, who seeks to use him to remove Natsu as an obstacle to Zeref's plans. He brainwashes Gray and Juvia into fighting each other, intending for Gray to kill her and succumb to his demonic corruption so as to bring about his full potential. Instead, Juvia impales herself and tranfuses her blood to Gray when he does the same. Grief-stricken by Juvia's apparent death, Gray retains his sense of judgment and defeats Invel, unaware as Wendy and Carla arrive in time to nurse Juvia back to health. However, Invel compels Gray to fight Natsu anyway by revealing his true identity as E.N.D. to him. |
