Original subtitles

Natsu and Mard Geer. Igneel and Acnologia.

The battles became even more ferocious.

Sting and Rogue joined Natsu's fight,

and the three of them faced Mard Geer.

Firing Hammer of the Lightning Flame Dragon!

And after meeting up with Lucy and the others, Wendy revealed

There's just no way.

that Face was still a threat.

Oh no...

Thousands of Face bombs...

And even worse, there were thousands of the bombs.

They're already turned on. And set to go off any time now.

What do we do?!

Wendy proposed calling on wizards from all over the continent to destroy the bombs,

Dammit! Dammit! My lame power is just pathetic!

but the range of Warren's telepathy extends only 5 km.

No. Don't give up so soon.

The countdown is on, with scant time remaining until Face is set in motion.

That voice!

I still have an ace up my sleeve.

But then...

Fairy Tail's ultimate weapon!

Lumen Histoire!

Lumen Histoire?

What's that?

There's no time to explain in detail. Return to the guild at once.

At once? Master?

But the guild was blown to pieces...

Don't!

The guild's basement. Hurry!

I don't really understand it, but anyway, let's go!

Right!

I'm staying here.

Elf-nii-chan?

Why?!

Hey! Elfman?!

Don't interfere...

Don't interfere! Don't interfere!

A bomb?!

Die! Die, Fairy Tail!

Somebody!

Is he being mind-controlled?

At this rate...

The guild's destruction isn't your fault.

Y-Yeah! Master's right!

Elf-nii-chan...

If Levy had been taken hostage, I'm sure I would've...

Even so, I...

I understand. Do what feels right to you.

Master!

We can't leave him here!

You come with us.

Individual telepathy?

I'm not a member of your guild.

I'm going to need your power.

My...?

After everything is safely settled,

I want you to erase Lumen Histoire from the memories of all the guild members.

And you're telling me to wipe my own memory, too?

That's right.

But I'm sure you will do it.

Let's hurry!

Elf-nii-chan, be careful!

Doranbolt-san?

What is this Lumen Histoire?

Tartaros Arc: Absolute Demon

Still, I can't believe what's going on up there.

Anyway, we have to get going.

Humans don't have any part to play in that.

The dragons that came out of Eclipse were terrifying, too.

But those two are in a different class.

Look!

They're ascending!

You're not getting away.

I'm not trying to. Nor will I let you.

Fighting you up here, I don't have to hold back. And to beat you, I'll...

Fight?

No. I am going to destroy you!

He's strong.

The three of us and still no effect?!

Natsu-san, are you all right?

Of course! A second-rate attack like that doesn't even scratch me!

It seems you can fight on.

You're damn right. This is a competition.

I'm gonna be the one who takes him out.

You still remembered that?!

No way am I gonna lose to you guys!

Kyoka, aren't you finished yet?

Hurry up and switch Face on.

If this is the way I can return to Zeref...

That's our Kyoka-sama, Slave Star Empress of the Nine Demons!

As her power increases by the second, how much is her strength worth? How much?!

Shut up!

Anyway, there's no time! At this rate, Face will...

Erza, you can do it!

Yes, I know.

Natsu is okay too, right?

Mard Geer-sama said it was like a homing instinct.

All of us were born from Zeref, and so we shall go back to him.

Nope. You chose death!

You gave up on going forward with your comrades!

Silence!

What is this?!

What's this? She's so absorbed in battle that she's forgotten my voice.

But at least it seems she's doing her job.

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.

I still don't get it.

Incomprehensible.

If you want to see your boss that badly, just go by yourself.

You call yourselves sons of dragons, but in the end, you are mere humans.

Is it so difficult to understand?

Watch the condescension, buddy!

Have you ever thought about why Zeref created us?

None of my underlings have realized it.

We Etherious have something like a strong obsession

that demands we "return to Zeref."

It is all so we can return to Zeref.

It's an order on the genetic level.

"Return to Zeref," "I want to see Zeref," "for Zeref"...

Those are feelings.

All of them come down to one truth.

Zeref cursed himself for becoming immortal

and wished to die.

The final destination of that wish was the creation of beings that could kill him.

Those who were born to murder Zeref. They are...

...the demons of the Books of Zeref.

END was his masterpiece.

But something must have happened, because he was sealed again in the book.

A seal that could never be broken in Earthland, a world overflowing with magic.

However, when Face makes magic

all across the continent disappear, that seal will be broken

and END will return.

Then he will defeat Zeref.

That is our wish, as well as Zeref's.

A battle to beat Zeref?

And you involved humans in this business that has nothing to do with us!

When you walk somewhere,

do you go out of your way to avoid stepping on weeds in the path?

Bastard!

Sting! Rogue!

Natsu-san!

What the hell is this?!

A prison flower that blooms in the Underworld.

Dammit! I can't move!

Natsu-san! Dodge it!

This damn...

Ice?

This is... my scarf...

I found it.

If it's important to you, don't lose it again.

Gray...

Gray-san!

This magic...

When did you...?!

Who are you?!

I'm the Devil Slayer who came here...

...to defeat you.

When did you...?!

Who are you?!

I'm the Devil Slayer who came here...

...to defeat you.

Devil Slayer, you say?

What the hell is that?

If Dragon Slaying Magic is for dragons and God Slaying Magic is for gods,

then...

This is magic that defeats demons.

This is Silver's...

I knew he would betray me one day.

Although I didn't realize it would take this form.

Fate is amusing indeed.

He froze those thorns in an instant!

Incredible!

You think fate is amusing?

I don't think it's one damn bit amusing!

For the sake of my old man's wish...

Old man?

...I'll destroy all of you!

Die!

Ice Magic! Zero Sword!

Grey-san!

You made it in time.

Another one of 'em! And that smell...

No...

The one who was at the peak of your human guilds...

Naturally he was reborn as a demon.

Jiemma!

Master...

That guy...

Wasn't he Saber's master?!

So they made you and Minerva both into demons, huh?

Made me? Wrong.

I obtained this power of my own will.

To become the strongest of all!

You gave up being human for that?

That's insane.

A demon with power that far surpasses the Nine Demon Gates.

My new servant.

Servant?

My name is known throughout the land, and you call me servant...

...Underworld King?!

After I dispose of these whelps, you're next!

Don't be scared!

There's no reason to be scared of this bozo!

Charge!

I have no business with you.

Natsu-san!

Weaklings! Weak! Weak!

I'm taking you down!

Weak, weak. You are weaklings, Twin Dragons.

Instead of sons of dragons,

you are more like sons of lizards.

Bastard...

Sting. Rogue.

I have longed for the day when I could dispatch you with my own hands.

Sting! Rogue!

We have nothing to fear.

We're...

...gonna charge!

Leave him to us!

We'll beat him!

You are pathetic weaklings! Come then, Twin Dragons!

We can do this, Sting!

Yeah. Let's clean house here, then take our lady back to the guild!

Oh, dear.

It looks like I still don't have perfect control of my emotions.

You're out of soldiers to protect you.

I'm going to...

You're not ready yet.

Do you really think that power will work on the true form of Mard Geer?

His wounds...

END is going to awaken for the first time in 400 years.

This is a good time for me to wake up as well.

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.

With blind faith in his own power, Jiemma gave up his humanity to become a demon.

With the strength of their bond, the Twin Dragons attack their rampaging former master.

And the Underworld King shows his true form, Mard Geer Tartaros.

Is there a way Natsu and Gray can fight that "absolute demon"?!

Next time: Tartaros Arc: Memento Mori.

Memento Mori

Bet on the future!
