The war of Fairy Tail against Grimoire Heart rages on as both sides were on the verge of a one sided battle where the light guild is losing strength in their numbers.

Near the beach area, dozens amount of unconscious Grimoire Heart Dark mages filled the field as one came crashing to the ground because of getting punched by Natsu who had finished them off before he turns to another group of remaining dark mages.

"I'm sorry...I would fight, too, but my magic power..." Lily apologized, not being able to fight with Natsu.

"just rest" said Natsu as he takes away a dark mage's sword before he swung it and unleash a powerful magic clash at a group of dark mages who were sent flying from his attack "these ones are easy pickings for me"

Mest was nowhere to be found and Wendy and the cats were vulnerable as Natsu is facing them all alone.

Natsu throws away the stolen sword as its blade had broken when Natsu swung it because it couldn't handle the power of his slash.

The dark mages soon surround Natsu as they all blasted Natsu with fire attack before they see the flames being eaten by Natsu.

"he's eating the flames!?" "what the heck is he!?" "Wait a second...fire magic, and a salmon coloured hair..." "Salamander?!"

"disappear" said Natsu as he pulled back his fist before punching the ground, causing an eruption of flames that blew every dark mage nearby to the air while crisped up and burned.

"Monster..." muttered the downed mages.

"hahahahahaha!" A laugh was heard as from a cliff as Zancrow appeared "That's enough, you lot! Enough, I said!" he yelled.

"Master Zancrow!" gasped one of the mages in relief.

"You guys are clearly no match for him." deduced Zancrow with a smirk. "Go and look for Zeref. I'm more than enough to take care of this guy."

The men nodded eagerly and started to leave the scene. "I was starting to think he might be too strong for us, but with Master Zancrow here, nothing bad can happen!"

Zancrow's eyes narrowed dangerously, his smile gone. "Hey. What did you just say?" he asked quietly, sending chills down his guildmates' back.

"I...I said I thought he could be too strong for us...the infantry!"

"There is no one stronger than Grimoire Heart in this entire world. We are the strongest guild there is." said Zancrow, black flames forming in his right hand. "If this guy here is too much for you, then you are not fit to be in our guild. We do not need trash like you!" he roared with a smile and set his comrades aflame.

The men screamed in agony, as the black flames burned them alive. They fell to the ground one by one, dead, their corpses slowly turning into ash.

Wendy grasped her mouth in horror, the horrible smell filling her nostrils. Natsu took looks in shock as to see Zancrow killing the members of his own guild.

"This man...his own allies..." Charla gasped in shock to see such a gruesome and horrifying scene.

Zancrow licked his lips and took a loud sniff of the air, the smell filling his nose. He sighed in bliss, his eyes half-closed. "I just can't get enough of this smell. The sensation it gives me..." he trembled in joy, before looking down at Natsu. "I envy you, with that enhanced nose of yours and all. You must feel the same way, don't you, Salamander?"

Natsu didn't respond as he just glared at Zancrow who smirks before firing a blast of black flames at the salmon haired mage who grabs a nearby sword which he soon swung right at the attack and disperse the flames.

"why did he just do that? Couldn't just have eaten it?" asked Lily, seeing how Natsu had previously eaten the flames of the enemy dark mages.

"those flames…I think he knows that they're not ordinary flames" said Charla while gulping down nervously.

"not bad~!" said Zancrow with a smirk as he looks at Natsu who glares him before the sword that he holds breaks to pieces. "looks like I can fully use my God Slaying magic to the fullest with you!"

Natsu throws away the broken sword before he runs towards Zancrow while picking up a spear nearby as he spins the long weapon around before jumping towards his enemy.

"hahaha!" Zancrow laughed as black flames gathers around his right fist that he sent right at Natsu who counters by swinging the spear down at the attack.

Both attacks cause a shockwave explosion that blew black flames everywhere.

at the base camp, Mira in her Satan Soul charges up energy in between her hands before she fired a stream of dark energy at the dark mages while Lisanna chokes some while in her Take Over; Cat Soul.

Mira huffs her breathing before she sensed something behind as she turns and saw Azuma coming out of the trees.

"My luck is truly against me." Said Azuma as he sighed. "First cats, now women?"

Mira tensed up after feeling his magic. He was no pushover.

"Are you the one who blew up the tree?" said Mira while clenching her fists tight

Azuma exhaled through his nose and raised his right arm, aiming it at the women. "Perhaps. But don't worry, I will not treat you the same way. I'll try to make it as painless as possible."

at the beach where the Grimoire Heart docked by. Hades plunged the flag of Grimoire Heart deep into the sand as he sets the mark of his guild on Tenroujima.

"Your brats have no chance of winning against my Seven Kin of Purgatory, Makarov." Hades declared. "All of them are great mages I have raised myself for years. Each and every single one of them uses the magic that is closest to the source of all magic." He then looked into the horizon. "Lost Magic is at their disposal. Nothing will stand in the way of their forbidden arts."

Hades turned around and walked back to his ship, the sounds of battles spread out across the entire island falling into his ears.

that's a wrap!

Bye bye
