@Wrath I'm sorry for the caps, but I don't know how to make this any more clear: I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THIS SITUATION. As I've mentioned literally a thousand times already, I know and have complained about Mavis and the others motives behind leaving Natsu be. What I'm saying is that leaving Natsu be isn't a bad move if you look at the situation logically. And yes, I know the characters are being illogical. But since when is us looking at a situation logically a problem? As readers, its our right to point out what we think is logical and illogical. To assert otherwise is ridiculous. No one is saying that the characters should follow my train of thought (in fact, if Mavis and Erza started randomly thinking of Natsu as collateral damage, I'd have an issue).

And no, Wrath, still no. Gray has Devil Slaying Magic, yes, but E.N.D. is the most powerful Demon that ever lived. Power Levels tend to trump type advantages. Take Mirajane vs. Seilah for example. Mirajane's abilities normally give her an advantage over all Demons, however, Seilah was just entirely too powerful for her. To assume that Gray can even put a dent on E.N.D. would be foolish. Same with Invel. Gray's abilities may put him at an advantage, but Invel is a Spriggan. The difference in power level is too great there. And let's say your theory is right and Gray someone does have the power to keep Invel at bay even for a moment, whose to say Zeref himself doesn't just kill Gray immediately?
