SummaryEdit

More doubts continue to be placed upon the real identity of Mest as seen through the lack of information about him. Natsu Dragneel, still angered for the discoloration of his scarf, continues to look for the boy while simultaneously searching for the grave of Mavis. Meanwhile, Gajeel Redfox and Levy McGarden continue to face off against Kawazu and Yomazu.

They are first confronted by the intense noise created from Yomazu's Magic, Orient Solid Script, which is similar to Levy's Solid Script. Levy manages to cancel out the noise with her own Magic and faces off against Kawazu while Gajeel battles Yomazu. Levy burns the eggs thrown at her by Kawazu. However, Gajeel experiences some difficulties as the slashes Yomazu performs with his sword manages to cut through even his Iron Dragon's Scales. Levy also gets in trouble when she becomes overwhelmed by the amount of eggs Kawazu attacks her with. After getting continuously hit by Yomazu's sword slashes, Gajeel falls.

Gajeel instructs Levy to leave and warn the rest of the guild members. She hesitates at first but she does so, but not without creating a large chunk of iron for Gajeel to consume using her Magic. Gajeel replenishes and heals using the iron she provided him with. Kawazu and Yomazu perform numerous combination attacks against him, but through sheer power and determination, he counters them and manages to block Yomazu's sword with his iron.

Gajeel has a short flashback of the day when Makarov invited him to join Fairy Tail despite the fact that he destroyed it as it was his path to tomorrow. After this, Gajeel breaks Yomazu's katana and finishes him off with Karma Demon: Iron God Sword, passing out shortly thereafter.

Levy returns with Juvia Lockser and Erza Scarlet in tow. Yomazu announces that the Seven Kin of Purgatory is coming and there will be no stopping them. Erza then sends out a red signal flare to warn the other members on the island. Through force, Erza manages to pry out Grimoire Heart's goal from Yomazu: the legendary Black Mage, Zeref, who is on Tenrou Island. He also reveals that one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory is already upon the island.

Elsewhere, Carla and Pantherlily find Mest and Wendy Marvell. The two separate Wendy from Mest while Pantherlily shifts into his Battle Form and confronts Mest, demanding to know who he really is.
