Full Summary
After saving Evergreen and Elfman, Natsu demands to know who the Killing Mage is. Happy flies over and notices all the tree around them dead. They all realize the boy's magic was the cause of it. The boy then speaks and tells Natsu that he's grown and was waiting for him. Natsu admits he has no idea who he is and punches him in the face, knocking him to the ground. As if not even feeling the punch, the boy starts to cry and realizes, that "Natsu still cannot destroy him". He starts to feel another wave of his magic coming and tells everyone to run away again. Natsu realizes Elfman and Evergreen won't make it, and goes back and gets them out, but Natsu gets hit by the wave. He emerges unharmed, but Natsu notices the scarf from Igneel is now black. Elsewhere, Mest is able to feel the boy's magic and is happy to know the Killing Mage is still on the island. On the Grimoire Heart Airship, Ultear also detects his magic, and tells her master, Hades. Hades smiles and is glad to know he has found the Killing Mage, best known as the Black Mage Zeref. Him along with the Seven Kin of Purgatory make their way to Tenrou Island to capture him.
