Good chapter, it answers some questions but at the same time raises others. While I really want to know what the hell Lumen Histoire does I also though that Mashima would hold it as long as possible and probably will not reveal it until the end of Fairy Tail Zero so we can't hope to see it any time soon. And courage? Maybe Lumen Histoire has some severe drawback? Will it release something else apart from Mavis' soul? Better not think about it for now.

What interested me more in this chapter was what Grandiney said about them having lost their souls. How can Acnologia remove their souls and how could they still live without souls for so long? I mean they had time to find the children and train them then enter the and such. And Igneel wasn't fighting at his full power but he was almost evenly matched to Acnologia? Could that mean that we/I underestimated Igneel or overestimated Acnologia?

I liked the reactions of the Dragon Slayers especially Gajeel. I was expeecting him to scream or start a discussion with Metalica (who in my opinion could have a better design) but his reaction was pretty mature. His moment with Wendy was pretty nice too. The Twin Dragons' "why aren't you dead" reactions were good too, and as they already experienced losing their "parents" before I guess they were the least affected by their second departure.

Looks like this is the end of Tartarus Arc huh? I wonder what's going to happen now... I guess this pretty much reduces the story to two major points: Zeref and Acnologia. Can Zeref release E.N.D. by himself? How does natsu intend on taking on Acnologia? I think this is the time for Gildarts show up again but this time to actually help Natsu becoming stronger. But I hope Natsu don't just do it alone. Acnologia killed not only Igneel but all the other dragons so all dragon slayers should take part on the fight.

Also before the series end there's the minor (?) points like Lucy's mother, Lumen Histoire, and who the other wizard saints are. I personally would like to see a small storyline focusing on Doranbolt and his efforts to try and rebuild the Magic Council. As the last surviving member it's sort of his duty right? And I don't think he will hang out with Fairy Tail except when his duties require him to. Well, I guess this is it, good chapter and review.
