So this chapter was part enemy meeting, and part Zeref and Makarov have an intense talk.

Well if my count is correct, we have 4 more Spriggen 12, and adding to who had already introduced, that is a total of 6 we know so far, so we are half way there, some of them are named after the seasons, interesting.

So we get some insight on how this empire came to be, it is simply Zeref lived a long time, and was able to grow it because of his power and immortality.

The big reveal Fairy Heart, and giving what Zeref, this is looks like to be the final arc. Unless of course our heroes get away, comeback to Ishgar, and we have another arc, and this is just a preview down the line. At this point no, let's do this.

It is official, Makarov is never going to die, we had two great opportunities for him die and for his death to mean something, and two times he gets saved at the last minute, nope I am never going to fall for the Makarov death watch ever again.

So does team A get home or not, either way, time to gather the troops and have a big guild alliance, and time to go to war. This is going to be grant. And Acnologia is going to be the center of it all. I think if he wanted to, Acnologia can destroy that whole empire san Zeref if he wanted to.

A good chapter, but a big let down at the end, Hiro is never going to pull the trigger on Makarov's death.
