User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail 525: Why Did the Emperor Never Love His Child?, Review/@comment-4933386-20170304135252

I honestly thought Gildarts used his own magic on himself to split into like a billion and attack August... But that didnt happen and probably wouldn't be effective anyway.

So can Zeref no longer use the death thing around him that kills anything in the vicinity now? what happened? I feel like thats an OP move. also that stopping magic that occurred during the fight with the tartaros.
