After pounding Mard's face in last chapter, Mard is completely and utterly defeated with a look on his face that makes me laugh every time I see it. Gray's demon form fades away and Gray then states its not over until they destroy E.N.D's book. Natsu interjects and states that Igneel told him to bring it to him so he can't let Gray destroy it. The two have a dramatic stare off before FACE finally activates and we get back to the present timeline. Queue everyone in panic before Makarov realizes he is too late and thus there is no more need for Lumen Histoire and we will not be seeing what it does for probably another 100+ chapters. Queue some overly gratuitous Lucy ass and magic power starts fading everywhere, causing Lisanna to lose her take over and become naked, much to the pleasure of Warren. Doranbolt takes off his coat and gives it to her much to my dismay. All over, magic begins to disappear as Mard says that soon, E.N.D. shall rise and Humans will be defenseless. As everything begins to seem hopeless, Acnologia comes crashing down and Igneel appears over him, saying not to give up hope.

Elsewhere, Blue Pegasus attempts to destroy a FACE with their ship, but prove unsuccessful. As they begin falling from losing magical power, something closes in from a distance and smashes through a FACE. Ichiya questions what it was with Jenny thinking it was a bird, but Wendy senses that it was Grandeeny. FACEs begin to disappear from all over as the Dragon Slayers begin to sense their dragons and then...

All the dragons appear and destroy all the FACES. Looking into the sky, all Natsu can say is...neat. This chapter was okay. I didn't fanboy it like everyone else because of the dragons appearing. I was disappointed in the lack of Lumen Histoire and the fact that the FACES were taken out so easily. I would have liked to see them struggle a bit before the faces were destroyed. Meh chapter.

Why yes Mashima, I do like magical police women in mini skirts. Just thought I would throw that out there. So we start with all the dragons back smashing FACES left and right before we flash over to everyone looking at the FACE screen to see that every FACE has been destroyed. With nothing more to worry about, everyone celebrates their victory. Still on the ground though, Sting is shocked to learn that Weisslogia is still alive. Igneel says that Grandeeny, Skiadrum and Metallicana are alive as well and were all inside their dragon slayers due to a sealing spell. Natsu then pulls a Natsu and asks how Igneel got inside him as he doesn't remember eating him. Yes, this is the man destined to save the entire world, being that he is the main character. Igneel states that the reason they did this was to prevent the dragon slayers from becoming Dragons like Acnologia, as he is about to state a second reason though, Acnologia gets up and their battle resumes. Igneel once again says to get the book of E.N.D. but Gray once again stands in Natsu's way. Igneel and Acnologia clash and Acnologia reveals his motives....he just wants to destroy everything. Really? Nothing like remake the world in his ideal image? Just destroy everything? K.... So back to Gray and Natsu, they keep having a stare off until suddenly, the book disappears. Suddenly, stepping forward, Zeref appears with the book, stating it is his and he is taking it back.

Not a bad chapter. I rather enjoyed it. Big implications in this one. We have always been told Zeref turned Acnologia into a dragon but here we are told that Natsu and the others could have become dragons even without Zeref's magic. I'm excited to see where things go from here. Until next time.
