Chapter 222

Arc of Embodiment is the two hundred and twenty-second chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
The sun began to set, and an unconscious Zeref is in the arms of Ultear. Ultear then told him that she will make him the King for the sake of the great Magic world.

Rustyrose, who stood triumph, heard that Elfman complained about their ideals while talked about the world. However, Rustyrose laughed, and talked about the true horror of Zeref's power. The two fought again, but Elfman was pushed back easily. Catching Rustyrose's arm, Elfman took over his arm, and countered. The attack, however, was diverted with Rustyrose's transformed shield, but it was a diversion all along to take his glasses. Elfman then told Evergreen to turn him into stone, but that failed due to Rustyrose wearing another set of glasses. The two of them were knocked down, and Rustyrose revealed his Magic, the ability to materialize anything he wants. With it revealed, he finished the team off with a tower explosion. Before the explosion, the two of them thanked each other for being there.

At the woods, Natsu, with his scarf reverted to normal by Wendy, woke up. While Makarov remained immobile, caught the scent of the guy he met on Galuna Island, and decides to head there.
