Chapter 240

Gray vs. Ultear is the two hundred and fortieth chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
Gray begins his battle against Ultear by knocking her down. Ultear quickly orders Meredy to take Zeref's body away as she fights Gray. Juvia, having heard Gray's voice, awakens and chases Meredy despite the pain in her leg.

As Gray tries to use Ice Make against Ultear, she uses her magic, Arc of Time to cause it to evaporate. Gray realizes his magic is useless and Ultear explains that she learned Arc of Time Magic to kill her mother Ur, revealing that she always hated her.

Gray berates her, stating that Ur always thought about her and can no longer convey the things she wished to convey. He states that he believes in Ur's Magic and will use it to defeat Ultear, who once against states that it is pointless to try.

Suddenly, Gray manages to turn his right arm into an ice blade and states to Ur that he will seal her darkness. Ultear once again states that his magic won't work but finds herself unable to affect him and is slashed. Gray reveals that he froze his own blood to create the blade since Ultear's Magic won't work on living beings.

Despite admiring his tenacity, she states that she will not lose and takes a stance similar to Ul's and hits Gray with ice make Magic known as Rosen Corone, surprising the Fairy Tail Mage.
