Chapter 140

Slow Speed World is the 140th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
Lyon discloses his plan with Gray. He then shouts that he is not longer needed, and freezes him. He calls on Sherry saying that Lamia Scale will take the glory, and the two commence their attack on Racer. Sherry managed to hold down Racer for a brief second with her Wood doll but Racer manages to defeat her quickly. Racer’s speed persists, so Lyon flees and keeps attacking him. Lyon shouts that he singled out his weakness: he might be fast but he is not strong enough to actually defeat them. He summons ice on his back, but Racer easily breaks his defensive ice. Lyon keeps running, but Racer is always one step before. In a last attack, Racer disarms him, and with an knife, threatens his life.

Lyon then speaks the truth. He noticed his Magic was not to make him faster, it was to slow others down by making their time sense slower, and in the moment one person gets out of his range, and they are on full speed. Gray broke out of the ice, and, as Lyon says, with the strength of his passion, releases his Super Freeze Arrow, which hits Racer completely and utterly. In his last thoughts, Racer remembers his prayer of being faster than everyone.

Everyone thinks it’s over, but at the last moment, he gets up and reveals an explosive Lacrima on his body. Gray is out of Magic, but Lyon, for the younger pupil, jumps and takes Racer down the cliff with him. The explosion ensues…

Back at the hideout, Brain feels Racer’s death. Forced into a corner, he wakes Midnight, and orders him to kill everyone. Midnight complies, referring to Brain as his “father”.
