 * Rave: Perhaps it is the perv in me, but I loved this chapter cover. Erza looked sexy as hell and I'm pretty sure I should give the chapter ten stars for her alone. >:D And on a side note, congrats to  for having another piece of her amazing artwork featured!
 * Rant: Natsu and Gray survived the attack. I'm not really upset by that in and of itself because I know Mashima nor any author for that matter would ever kill off two protagonists, especially two of his main protagonists, like that. I'm upset by two things. Firstly, if that attack was meant for someone of Zeref's caliber, why the fuck can Gray block it? I understand that Gray is currently using Silver's Magic which is catered to Demons, but I'm still not buying it. Secondly, I was pissed off by Gray's words before passing out "All I can do... is believe in Natsu." -____- Are you fucking kidding me? I had problem enough with Gray and Natsu tag teaming Mard Geer, but Natsu going at him alone? Give me a break! Perhaps I'm wrong, but I have the strange feeling that that particular line is set up for another chapter or so filled with Nakama Magic bullcrap.
 * Rave: I kinda liked the fact that Gray's body turned all Demon-like. If Dragon Slayers skin can get all scaly, then why can't a (hopefully temporary) Demon Slayer obtain demon skin?
 * Rave: As much as I despise Natsu, I will admit that he looked kinda cool with his Dragon Force. I was initially going to complain about how angry I was that he was beating Mard Geer alone, but thankfully Natsu pretty much passed out from fatigue and Gray stepped in and delivered the finishing blow. ^__^ Also, Mard Geer was the most annoying antagonist in the history of ever so I'm somewhat glad he got his ass handed to him.
 * Rave: We are finally back to present time! If I had to suffer one more chapter of flashbacks, I was going to murder someone. Probably all three of my annoying children. :D

Overall, this chapter was pretty good. I cannot express in words how glad I am to be done with the flashbacks, and I was never too fond of Mard Geer so I'm pretty glad to be done with him as well. I'm extremely excited to see what Face's activation means for everyone and I'm desperate to see Mavis (aka Lumen Histoire) in action. :D
