Episode Title:
Tartaros Chapter – Soaring Above Ishgar.
Episode Description:
Natsu and Gray emerge from the rubble left by Mard Geer's curse, having survived due to Gray taking on a partial demonic form and taking the brunt of the attack for Natsu. After Gray collapses, Natsu enters a natural Dragon Force state and performs one final onslaught on Mard Geer, but he runs out magic power to continue fighting the demon. However, Natsu reveals himself to be a decoy for Gray, who shoots Mard Geer down with an arrow of demon-slaying ice. Despite Igneel seemingly defeating Acnologia as well, Face's countdown reaches zero. With Fairy Tail's ally guilds unable to dismantle the bombs, the dragon guardians of Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, and Rogue emerge and destroy Face.
