Chapter 18

Flame and Wind is the eighteenth chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
The chapter begins with Lucy, Gray, Erza and Kageyama riding a magic four wheel drive going after Natsu and Happy. Kageyama asks why they are bringing him along, thinking that they are going to hold him as a hostage, but Lucy replies that they are going to take him to a hospital in Clover since no one was left in Oshibana. However, Erza’s sight is getting blurry and she thinks that she is out of magic power.

Meanwhile, Natsu and Erigor are getting ready to fight. Erigor attacks with a blast of wind that blasted Natsu off his feet and fall off the bridge. Natsu then uses his flames as a grappling hook. Natsu attacks continuously, but Erigor flew to avoid some of the attacks and to counter with a tornado. Erigor attacks using his scythe, but Natsu were able to stop it with his arm and counter with a Salamander’s Roar, but Erigor dodged it by flying again. Erigor says that he may have underestimated Natsu and used a technique called Storm Mail which covered his entire body with wind.

Elsewhere, Kageyama says that Natsu must already be dead by now, saying that flame cannot break through Erigor’s Storm Mail, which seems to be true since Natsu’s flames are extinguished every time it came into contact with Erigor. The chapter ends with Erigor saying that flames simply cannot defeat wind.
