[00:07] ---
    Natsu and Mard Geer. Igneel and Acnologia.
[00:11] ---
    The battles became even more ferocious.
[00:19] ---
    Sting and Rogue joined Natsu's fight,
[00:24] ---
    and the three of them faced Mard Geer.
[00:33] ---
    Firing Hammer of the Lightning Flame Dragon!
[00:52] ---
    And after meeting up with Lucy
    and the others, Wendy revealed
[00:55] ---
    There's just no way.
[00:56] ---
    that Face was still a threat.
[00:58] ---
    Oh no...
[01:00] ---
    Thousands of Face bombs...
[01:00] ---
    And even worse, there were
    thousands of the bombs.
[01:02] ---
    They're already turned on.
    And set to go off any time now.
[01:06] ---
    What do we do?!
[01:06] ---
    Wendy proposed calling on wizards from all
    over the continent to destroy the bombs,
[01:08] ---
    Dammit! Dammit!
    My lame power is just pathetic!
[01:12] ---
    but the range of Warren's
    telepathy extends only 5 km.
[01:12] ---
    No. Don't give up so soon.
[01:16] ---
    The countdown is on, with scant time
    remaining until Face is set in motion.
[01:17] ---
    That voice!
[01:20] ---
    I still have an ace up my sleeve.
[01:22] ---
    But then...
[01:24] ---
    Fairy Tail's ultimate weapon!
[01:28] ---
    Lumen Histoire!
[03:28] ---
    Lumen Histoire?
[03:31] ---
    What's that?
[03:33] ---
    There's no time to explain in detail.
    Return to the guild at once.
[03:38] ---
    At once? Master?
[03:40] ---
    But the guild was blown to pieces...
[03:43] ---
    Don't!
[03:46] ---
    The guild's basement. Hurry!
[03:55] ---
    I don't really understand
    it, but anyway, let's go!
[03:58] ---
    Right!
[03:59] ---
    I'm staying here.
[04:01] ---
    Elf-nii-chan?
[04:02] ---
    Why?!
[04:07] ---
    Hey! Elfman?!
[04:08] ---
    Don't interfere...
[04:10] ---
    Don't interfere! Don't interfere!
[04:17] ---
    A bomb?!
[04:19] ---
    Die! Die, Fairy Tail!
[04:23] ---
    Somebody!
[04:31] ---
    Is he being mind-controlled?
[04:33] ---
    At this rate...
[04:46] ---
    The guild's destruction isn't your fault.
[04:49] ---
    Y-Yeah! Master's right!
[04:53] ---
    Elf-nii-chan...
[04:54] ---
    If Levy had been taken hostage,
    I'm sure I would've...
[04:58] ---
    Even so, I...
[05:00] ---
    I understand. Do what feels right to you.
[05:03] ---
    Master!
[05:05] ---
    We can't leave him here!
[05:07] ---
    You come with us.
[05:09] ---
    Individual telepathy?
[05:12] ---
    I'm not a member of your guild.
[05:14] ---
    I'm going to need your power.
[05:17] ---
    My...?
[05:18] ---
    After everything is safely settled,
[05:21] ---
    I want you to erase Lumen Histoire from
    the memories of all the guild members.
[05:27] ---
    And you're telling me to
    wipe my own memory, too?
[05:31] ---
    That's right.
[05:32] ---
    But I'm sure you will do it.
[05:38] ---
    Let's hurry!
[05:39] ---
    Elf-nii-chan, be careful!
[05:43] ---
    Doranbolt-san?
[05:47] ---
    What is this Lumen Histoire?
SIGN    Tartaros Arc: Absolute Demon
[06:05] ---
    Still, I can't believe
    what's going on up there.
[06:09] ---
    Anyway, we have to get going.
[06:11] ---
    Humans don't have any part to play in that.
[06:16] ---
    The dragons that came out of
    Eclipse were terrifying, too.
[06:20] ---
    But those two are in a different class.
[06:34] ---
    Look!
[06:35] ---
    They're ascending!
[06:37] ---
    You're not getting away.
[06:40] ---
    I'm not trying to. Nor will I let you.
[06:44] ---
    Fighting you up here, I don't have to
    hold back. And to beat you, I'll...
[06:49] ---
    Fight?
[06:51] ---
    No. I am going to destroy you!
[07:01] ---
    He's strong.
[07:03] ---
    The three of us and still no effect?!
[07:05] ---
    Natsu-san, are you all right?
[07:07] ---
    Of course! A second-rate attack
    like that doesn't even scratch me!
[07:13] ---
    It seems you can fight on.
[07:15] ---
    You're damn right. This is a competition.
[07:18] ---
    I'm gonna be the one who takes him out.
[07:20] ---
    You still remembered that?!
[07:22] ---
    No way am I gonna lose to you guys!
[07:27] ---
    Kyoka, aren't you finished yet?
[07:29] ---
    Hurry up and switch Face on.
[07:49] ---
    If this is the way I can return to Zeref...
[07:55] ---
    That's our Kyoka-sama,
    Slave Star Empress of the Nine Demons!
[07:58] ---
    As her power increases by the second,
    how much is her strength worth? How much?!
[08:03] ---
    Shut up!
[08:05] ---
    Anyway, there's no time!
    At this rate, Face will...
[08:09] ---
    Erza, you can do it!
[08:11] ---
    Yes, I know.
[08:14] ---
    Natsu is okay too, right?
[08:20] ---
    Mard Geer-sama said
     it was like a homing instinct.
[08:25] ---
    All of us were born from Zeref,
    and so we shall go back to him.
[08:30] ---
    Nope. You chose death!
[08:33] ---
    You gave up on going forward
    with your comrades!
[08:36] ---
    Silence!
[08:51] ---
    What is this?!
[09:35] ---
    What's this? She's so absorbed in battle
    that she's forgotten my voice.
[09:42] ---
    But at least it seems she's doing her job.
[09:45] ---
    Hey, why the hell would you wanna
    wipe out magic all across the continent?
[09:50] ---
    Oh, didn't I tell you?
[09:54] ---
    By removing all magic,
    END's seal will also be broken.
[10:02] ---
    That book...
[10:05] ---
    Right now, he is in that form,
[10:08] ---
    but END is the strongest demon of the
    Books of Zeref and the master of Tartaros.
[10:14] ---
    By reviving END, we shall
    be able to return to Zeref.
[10:20] ---
    I still don't get it.
[10:22] ---
    Incomprehensible.
[10:24] ---
    If you want to see your boss
    that badly, just go by yourself.
[10:31] ---
    You call yourselves sons of dragons,
    but in the end, you are mere humans.
[10:35] ---
    Is it so difficult to understand?
[10:37] ---
    Watch the condescension, buddy!
[10:39] ---
    Have you ever thought about
    why Zeref created us?
[10:50] ---
    None of my underlings have realized it.
[10:57] ---
    We Etherious have something
    like a strong obsession
[11:02] ---
    that demands we "return to Zeref."
[11:06] ---
    It is all so we can return to Zeref.
[11:11] ---
    It's an order on the genetic level.
[11:14] ---
    "Return to Zeref,"
     "I want to see Zeref," "for Zeref"...
[11:20] ---
    Those are feelings.
[11:23] ---
    All of them come down to one truth.
[11:41] ---
    Zeref cursed himself for becoming immortal
[11:45] ---
    and wished to die.
[11:51] ---
    The final destination of that wish was the
    creation of beings that could kill him.
[12:01] ---
    Those who were born to
    murder Zeref. They are...
[12:11] ---
    ...the demons of the Books of Zeref.
[12:17] ---
    END was his masterpiece.
[12:22] ---
    But something must have happened,
    because he was sealed again in the book.
[12:29] ---
    A seal that could never be broken in Earthland,
    a world overflowing with magic.
[12:38] ---
    However, when Face makes magic
[12:41] ---
    all across the continent disappear,
    that seal will be broken
[12:45] ---
    and END will return.
[12:56] ---
    Then he will defeat Zeref.
[12:59] ---
    That is our wish, as well as Zeref's.
[13:07] ---
    A battle to beat Zeref?
[13:10] ---
    And you involved humans in this business
    that has nothing to do with us!
[13:17] ---
    When you walk somewhere,
[13:20] ---
    do you go out of your way to
    avoid stepping on weeds in the path?
[13:25] ---
    Bastard!
[13:29] ---
    Sting! Rogue!
[13:33] ---
    Natsu-san!
[13:39] ---
    What the hell is this?!
[13:53] ---
    A prison flower that
    blooms in the Underworld.
[13:58] ---
    Dammit! I can't move!
[13:59] ---
    Natsu-san! Dodge it!
[14:03] ---
    This damn...
[14:10] ---
    Ice?
[14:22] ---
    This is... my scarf...
[14:24] ---
    I found it.
[14:29] ---
    If it's important to you,
    don't lose it again.
[14:33] ---
    Gray...
[14:34] ---
    Gray-san!
[14:36] ---
    This magic...
[14:41] ---
    When did you...?!
[14:44] ---
    Who are you?!
[14:46] ---
    I'm the Devil Slayer who came here...
[14:50] ---
    ...to defeat you.
[15:06] ---
    When did you...?!
[15:08] ---
    Who are you?!
[15:11] ---
    I'm the Devil Slayer who came here...
[15:15] ---
    ...to defeat you.
[15:29] ---
    Devil Slayer, you say?
[15:31] ---
    What the hell is that?
[15:33] ---
    If Dragon Slaying Magic is for dragons
    and God Slaying Magic is for gods,
[15:38] ---
    then...
[15:42] ---
    This is magic that defeats demons.
[15:54] ---
    This is Silver's...
[16:06] ---
    I knew he would betray me one day.
[16:10] ---
    Although I didn't realize
    it would take this form.
[16:13] ---
    Fate is amusing indeed.
[16:28] ---
    He froze those thorns in an instant!
[16:31] ---
    Incredible!
[16:51] ---
    You think fate is amusing?
[16:54] ---
    I don't think it's one damn bit amusing!
[16:58] ---
    For the sake of my old man's wish...
[17:00] ---
    Old man?
[17:01] ---
    ...I'll destroy all of you!
[17:13] ---
    Die!
[17:17] ---
    Ice Magic! Zero Sword!
[17:29] ---
    Grey-san!
[17:31] ---
    You made it in time.
[17:33] ---
    Another one of 'em! And that smell...
[17:41] ---
    No...
[17:45] ---
    The one who was at the peak
    of your human guilds...
[17:50] ---
    Naturally he was reborn as a demon.
[17:59] ---
    Jiemma!
[18:06] ---
    Master...
[18:12] ---
    That guy...
[18:19] ---
    Wasn't he Saber's master?!
[18:22] ---
    So they made you and Minerva
    both into demons, huh?
[18:26] ---
    Made me? Wrong.
[18:29] ---
    I obtained this power of my own will.
[18:33] ---
    To become the strongest of all!
[18:38] ---
    You gave up being human for that?
[18:42] ---
    That's insane.
[18:44] ---
    A demon with power that far surpasses
    the Nine Demon Gates.
[18:48] ---
    My new servant.
[18:52] ---
    Servant?
[18:54] ---
    My name is known throughout the land,
     and you call me servant...
[19:00] ---
    ...Underworld King?!
[19:03] ---
    After I dispose of these whelps, you're next!
[19:14] ---
    Don't be scared!
[19:18] ---
    There's no reason to be scared of this bozo!
[19:20] ---
    Charge!
[19:25] ---
    I have no business with you.
[19:37] ---
    Natsu-san!
[19:39] ---
    Weaklings! Weak! Weak!
[19:44] ---
    I'm taking you down!
[19:50] ---
    Weak, weak. You are weaklings, Twin Dragons.
[19:56] ---
    Instead of sons of dragons,
[19:58] ---
    you are more like sons of lizards.
[20:01] ---
    Bastard...
[20:02] ---
    Sting. Rogue.
[20:05] ---
    I have longed for the day when I
    could dispatch you with my own hands.
[20:13] ---
    Sting! Rogue!
[20:17] ---
    We have nothing to fear.
[20:20] ---
    We're...
[20:25] ---
    ...gonna charge!
[20:27] ---
    Leave him to us!
[20:28] ---
    We'll beat him!
[20:30] ---
    You are pathetic weaklings!
    Come then, Twin Dragons!
[20:36] ---
    We can do this, Sting!
[20:38] ---
    Yeah. Let's clean house here,
    then take our lady back to the guild!
[20:59] ---
    Oh, dear.
[21:00] ---
    It looks like I still don't have
    perfect control of my emotions.
[21:04] ---
    You're out of soldiers to protect you.
[21:07] ---
    I'm going to...
[21:09] ---
    You're not ready yet.
[21:12] ---
    Do you really think that power will
    work on the true form of Mard Geer?
[21:20] ---
    His wounds...
[21:25] ---
    END is going to awaken for
    the first time in 400 years.
[21:29] ---
    This is a good time
    for me to wake up as well.
[21:47] ---
    My name is Mard Geer Tartaros.
[21:51] ---
    King of the Underworld and an absolute demon.
[22:05] ---
    Natsu...
[22:06] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[22:14] ---
    In the name of Fairy Tail,
    we're gonna take you down!
[22:18] ---
    Come, humans.
[22:20] ---
    This is the final battle.
[23:55] ---
    With blind faith in his own power, Jiemma
    gave up his humanity to become a demon.
[24:01] ---
    With the strength of their bond, the Twin
    Dragons attack their rampaging former master.
[24:07] ---
    And the Underworld King shows his
    true form, Mard Geer Tartaros.
[24:12] ---
    Is there a way Natsu and Gray
    can fight that "absolute demon"?!
[24:18] ---
    Next time:
    Tartaros Arc: Memento Mori.
SIGN    Memento Mori
[24:22] ---
    Bet on the future!
