User blog:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Chapter 354: Ephialtes, Review.

The chapter cover didn't tell us much besides the fact that Toby is one of the most skilled Mages in Lamia Scale. :/

The chapter begins just as someone, I don't know who, predicted. The giants thanking Fairy Tail for saving their asses with a celebration. Erza and Gray deduce that Tartarus was behind the freezing of the village, and they all try to figure out why the dude froze the village in the first place. In the midst of the celebration, Lucy goes to find Flare and the giants are seemed not happy with her, but, in truth, they were happy to have their daughter back. How sweet. :D Flare cries and says that she's home which would've been sweet, but the only thing I noticed, if I'm being honest, were her breasts.

Elsewhere, Minerva returns to her Guild's headquarters only to find that they have all been turned to these weird little black paper thingies. In the midst of her discovery, a weird looking chick named Kyouka shows up, and apparently she's one of the Nine Ghost Ghates of Tartarus. She tells Minerva that she's there because she's gathering soldiers, but she didn't have use for weak soldiers so she killed everyone in the guild. :/ She goes after Minera, and the chapter ends. :D I loved seeing the frightened look on Minerva's face and her screams for help. Bitch deserves all the pain she's getting. ^__^ But, I'm not done with Minerva yet, so let's hope she has enough strength to make Kyouka think she's worth saving.

Overall, this chapter was okay. The beginning of the chapter was over-used, cliche crap, but the end gave us something to look forward to next chapter and in the coming arc. O, and yay for me for actually being semi-early!
