This was a decent chapter for me. I very pleased with the action and felt it lived up to my expectations being fast paced and stylish and the new magic was awesome in my opinion. Pity that a certain pink haired arse finally jumped over to my hated list just because of his arrogance and here's a hint though, it isn't Meredy or Porlyusica. At least the others were awesome, especially the leader of the Garou Knights and the girls with Mira being the most outstanding. Now moving on.

So continuing for the last chapter the view of the Garou Knights together once more made me think of a few things, like how Rau was right about scythes being the weapon of choice of the leader and looking cooler and how tall Kamika was. Nevertheless they looked awesome but what happened next just made me want to grab Natsu's neck and twist it till it snaps. He just laughed at them... that arrogant b*stard! Read the freaking situation man, they're trying to kill you. KILL YOU! At least be a little more serious. Thankfully, Arcadios tried talking some sense into him but he still didn't take on the full seriousness of the situation he and his friends were in so the rescue team were beginning to get on my nerves and Mira didn't really help with her little smile. At least Lily and Wendy seemed to have a more appropriate attitude. Anyway with some awesome words from the leader the fight began and we got to see the two lovely yet probably crazy girls, Kamika and Cosmos in battle with the some pretty cool magic and before anybody say "Really, you liked the Paper Magic?" screw you, Konan was cool. Now I adored how Kimika's Crimson Dance made Natsu look like quite the fool as the slips dosed his flames and it also gave Wendy some time to shine which lead on to us getting a nice example of Cosmos's awesome plants (she'd do Poisons Ivy proud) and then Mira's epic power by blowing her flytrap away like dust. This all flowed through very nicely giving a lot of action in a the little time much like Gray and Rufus's battle and all the rescue team's fighters and the Garou Knights got a nice piece of scene time showing some intense fighting and leaving some a nice mystery behind the leader. I was bit upset about the length of the fight but the content more than made up for it and I was worried about Mira as using Stiri right off the bat as it has me thinking that she might run out of steam further into the battle with the Garou Knights but the fight was awesome and continued to appease me with what came next. I loved the tactics here with Kamika's binding spell and Cosmos using her Flower Flourish to summon that huge plant was a great credit to the power of these knights being able to use that with little to no problems yet it was a little overpowered in a way but still cool. Anyway when the plant was destroyed it looked pretty awesome and I loved how Mira was using her legs to do her part to take it down and the shockwave looked great.

So with that blast making a mess of things we cut over to Hisui. Is she retarded? I'm being serious here. We all saw that she wants to keep Arcadios safe but surely she would have known about the group of executioners in the Hell Palace, or is it Abyssal Palace now?, and if Arcadios was being sent there, being part of the royal family, couldn't of you done something to stop this or at least prolong this? Maybe we'll find out something later but at the moment I think she's being pretty dumb at the moment. Maybe she thought Fairy Tail would save him? Well at least we got back to the Fairies and Knights and everyone got separated for one another and OH MY GOD HE USES A METAL SKULL AND CRUCIFIX TO SHEATH HIS SCYTHES!!! Um where was... and Natsu appears to have gotten stuck with the awesome armored leader who still has his arms crossed throughout all that fighting. I can't wait guy fight and I hope for the love of God his isn't trolled, he's just too badass for that to happen. Armored Leader FTW! Anyway after Natsu fails to recognize the situation he's in again, saying something to give the Nalu fans to squeal about, we get to see what happened to the others. Wendy was matched up with Cosmos, which should be interesting to see how Wendy gets out of this. Mira bundled together with Kimika, HEY~ SEXY LADIES. Pantherlily got put with the blob which I can't wait to see but what happened to the rest? Well they ended up together but who didn't see that coming, with all of them barely being able to fight and all especially as somebody thought it was smart not to bring Lucy’s Fleuve d'étoiles? At least Carla didn't need to be an ass about it. Still with all the knights taken we finally got to see the angler in action which was hilarious. I really hope I wasn't the only one laughing at Happy being thrown off the wall but hey, Uosuke made it in to my good books making a funny moment and Happy cute when he was complaining but with their love for fish why can’t the two of them just get along? I guess if the situation was different we would see the beginning of a beautiful friendship forged between a man and an exceed through fish. Still I wouldn't want to see Uosuke's angry face again, doesn't it just terrify you? So with all the characters set up for their battles the chapter comes to a close with Lucy with an awesome grin and determined with Yukino at her side ready for battle with nothing to stop their will to fight, well apart from Arcadios who utterly destroys that readiness with a history lesson on Uosuke's past victims. Well have fun guys.

So overall a great chapter with a few minor problems showing of the awesome powers of the Garou Knights and making are already loved characters look even greater, apart from Natsu, he can go to hell for all I care. I need to wait for this arc to be over to start liking him again. The next chapter sounds good though and I’m guessing with the title we’re either going to be Lily and the fatso in action hopefully with Lily winning as I don’t think we've seen him win against a proper enemy or we may just be heading back to the GMG and seeing the greatest character in the series fight once more but looking at the ending it has a high chance of being Lucy and Yukino fighting which would be interesting to see how they cope but I just really want to see Lily fight. I do hope Hiro doesn't forget about the GMG though and just finish these fights first and I wouldn't mind a change in scenery after each big fight but I could see constant switching being annoying to some. Still I can’t to see what happens next no matter where it is.
