Among the debris...

Ice Make...

...Vambrace!

You're not Deliora.

You're my old man, aren't you?

Finish me off...

Go to hell!

You're my father, aren't you?!

What are you doing here?!

I was waiting for you to kill me.

It's true.

I... am your father.

Or was...

But I'm not human anymore.

I'm not a demon either.

I'm a dead man.

I've been dead for 17 long years.

Tartaros Arc: Silver Memories

The false tale has ended.

The truthful tale is about to begin...

Dead man?

Gray-sama's father?

But that's...

My prediction became human deed.

What are you...?

Necromancer. I have a Curse power to manipulate corpses.

He found my body and used me in an experiment.

Experiment...

An experiment to see how close he could get a corpse to becoming a living human.

I was just one out of hundreds of bodies...

...but I've lived this long.

Or maybe I should say "moved" instead.

They stole everything... They stole my family from me.

To get revenge against the demons...

While being a member of a demon guild,

I secretly killed demons all over.

I apologize for Sun Village.

It seems that flame wasn't a demon.

I'd been weakening the power of the demons around me...

...and was about to destroy Tartaros as part of my plan.

But then...

...I found out you were alive.

I realized it then.

My hands were too dirty.

I had no right to fight for you and Mika.

So you intended to die?

I'm already dead.

I wanted to end it...

...and entrust everything to you.

How dare you?!

I won't do anything for you!

To avenge...

...my family and Ur!

I'll surpass you, Deliora!

It's okay.

You're fine now.

I said some terrible things.

And I hurt you.

I'm sorry.

It was all... to make me overcome my nightmare.

You can forget about me.

I've been dead a long time.

But you're still...

...my father.

No.

What kind of father... would strike his own son?

You're...

Enough.

Just finish me off.

You want relief?

Please...

I want to be with Mika...

Don't hesitate! I helped them with the Face Project!

I murdered former members of the Council!

I'm your enemy!

Yeah.

Even though you're my real father...

...it means nothing if you're my guild's enemy!

That's how we've protected our family!

That's what makes you human.

Still...

I can't kill you!

Dammit...

Dammit!

That makes you human, too.

Either way, my body won't last much longer.

Dad...

Let me stay...

Let me stay like this for a while...

You've become a good man, Gray.

You're our pride and joy.

Can you hear me, miss?

Telepathy?

Are you, uh... Gray's woman?

N-No... Um...

Are you his father?

It doesn't matter...

There's no time. I'll just tell you one thing.

Beat Keyes, the skullface in front of you.

He's not as strong as the other Nine Demon Gates.

He's a necromancer.

He's controlling the Chairman's corpse...

...to make him activate the 3,000 Face devices.

3,000 Face devices...

If you defeat him, the Chairman won't be able to move,

and Face can be stopped.

B-But then you'll also...

What? You knew?

Even so, do it. For Gray's sake, too.

Blast.

What's with this guy?!

Fry.

For all your talk, you're not much of a challenge.

Those are fightin' words.

But then try this on for size!

Sword of the Iron Dragon!

That was an interesting move.

I'm not here to amuse you,

monster!

You mean demon.

Anyway, you can still stand?

I didn't know there were humans like you.

How tough is this shark?

Natsu and Gajeel are having a hard battle...

What about Juvia?

Gray's father!

Gray's father, can you hear me?!

I can't hear him anymore.

Do I really have to do this?

Is this really...

...for Gray-sama's sake?

That was...

...the sound of an explosion, right? Maybe Sting-kun and Rogue-kun?

Rogue...

Everyone's fighting.

We'd better get a move on, too.

Yeah.

Hey, mushroom! Which way's the control room?

Grrr! You brat!

I resemble a mushroom, but I'm Franmalth, one of the Nine Demon Gates!

And I don't take orders from cats...

Quit flapping your gums! Do you want me to crush you in my grip?

Understood! I'll answer. Right. We want to go right.

There's a wall to the right!

Huh? That's strange... Maybe it was left...

Or wait, maybe we should go back and then turn right?

My memory is kind of fuzzy.

Straight and then left!

I have a feeling we're wasting time.

Fro thinks so, too!

Minerva, is it hard going for you?

No. I'm fine.

If push comes to shove, Fro and I will carry our lady, yes!

We'll carry you!

I see. We could do that. If they fly by using Aera...

If we only knew the way, that would save a lot of time.

Erza has gotten heavy recently,

but you and I can somehow manage to carry her, right?

H-Hey, you just...

I thought I heard something. Was it just my imagination?

It was your imagination!

And while we're talking, we run into a dead end, yes.

Dead end!

Time to be honest, mushroom.

If you mean to buy time, I'll cut you into fine strips and mix you in with Lily's kibble!

Kibble?

I told you!

After Plutogrim crashed, it's hard to know where anything is in here!

And in this situation, I'm the only one who knows the exact location of the control room!

The only one!

How much is that worth? How much?

This fungus...

I know what this is! He's threatening us!

My patience is wearing thin, mushroom.

Okay, okay, okay! Understood!

I'll take you right there!

Bastard. I bet you intend to be evasive again and stall for time.

I just don't trust him.

Oh, my! Being surrounded by beautiful ladies gives me the vapors!

Just lead us there!

Good grief. Here we go again.

Here we go again!

Let's go!

Aye, sir!

I knew that Silver was trying to rebel against us.

He became strong and acquired Ice Devil Slayer Magic.

He intended to take revenge on us.

But that was fine.

I recognized that his fury and desire for vengeance

were the driving force that kept him alive all these years.

He's a fascinating, delightful puppet.

How could you be so cruel?!

Father and son... The dead and the living will kill each other.

This is my tale.

A tale for the sake of creating even better corpses...

What do you think human beings are?!

Tools for my experiments.

Convenient tools.

Humans...

...won't do as you please!

They will do exactly as I please.

I'm going to kill you next,

and use your corpse to murder your comrades.

Juvia won't let that happen!

You won't let it?

Then try to destroy me.

The moment he loses his master, Silver will be destroyed, too.

What a pleasant scream.

What are you going to do now, water witch?

Juvia!

What is this?!

Lucy!

Boom.

It's so stupid of you to be distracted that it's galling.

You...

Hang on!

Get outta my way, shark!

Try to move me.

Hey!

What the hell are those skeletons?

This is the city of death.

To Keys, it's a treasure trove of armor.

Dammit!

Lucy!

Juvia!

What's wrong?

You should erase the ghost of the boy's father with your own hand.

Try to cut the bond between father and son.

Juvia can't...

That's the foolishness of humans!

I know humans.

Juvia!

Dammit!

Emotions get in the way of reason.

You're all ugly lumps of ego.

That's one.

It can't be...

Juvia!

The tale of another human is done.

But that's no more than just one part of my own tale.

What is this?!

You can't...

Don't tell me...

...she's inside the enemy's body?!

You can't sever the bond between humans!

She... b-became water!

Keys...

This is bad...

I was careless...

How could I let human magic be my undoing?!

Gray-sama's feelings... His father's feelings...

Juvia knows they'll reach each other!

Even if their physical forms are gone...

...their feelings will stay in their hearts forever!

Juvia believes that's the power of human love!

Juvia!

My tale...

My...

She beat Keys...

I'm sorry, Gray-sama.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

It's better this way. Thank you.

Gray's father...

I can finally go to heaven thanks to you.

And you stopped Face's activation.

Juvia is...

Don't say anything.

Take care of Gray.

I will...

Dad...

Rest in peace.

I'm leaving the rest to you.

Why did I learn Ice Devil Slayer Magic?

Because END is a fire demon.

This power...

I'm passing it on to you.

As an Ice Devil Slayer...

...I'll defeat END!

A fierce battle between wizards and demons.

Natsu and Gajeel. The two Dragon Slayers muster every last bit of their strength

and make even the Nine Demon Gates shudder.

However, in the face of the demons' true power, Etherious Form,

the terror of darkness steals all light.

Next time: Tartaros Arc: Air.

Tartaros Arc: Air

Jet-black despair is the deep sea of the Underworld.
