Chapter 146

You Are Free is the 146th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

When the evil-turned Sherry was about to attack Natsu and Lucy, Lyon shows up and frees her from the effects of Nirvana. Meanwhile, Erza reveals to Jellal about his past, causing Jellal to feel remorse. This subsequently led to him casting a Self-Destruction Spell on himself and Nirvana, planning to kill himself along with its destruction.

Summary
Jellal, not knowing who Erza is, attacks her but Erza seems to be unaffected by the attack. The confused Jellal tells her not to come closer but Erza reveal who she is and about Jellal’s past: his plans to resurrect the dead, destroying the council, and killing Simon. Hearing her words, Jellal cannot believe what he has done, and feels remorse.

Meanwhile, Lucy wakes up and discovers that Virgo has treated her injuries and given her new clothes to wear. Virgo also gave Natsu new clothes. Virgo then disappears and goes back to the Celestial Spirit World, causing Lucy to realize that she lost all her Magic power and that Virgo came through the gate by herself. Suddenly, Sherry comes out of the forest and was about to attack Natsu and Lucy to avenge Lyon. However, Gray appears and stops her right in her tracks, pinning her on the ground. As she struggle, Lyon appears, heavily injured but safe from the explosion. Seeing him, Sherry calms down and is freed from the effects of Nirvana.

At the same time, Cobra reveals himself to Jellal and Erza. Knowing that Jellal lost his memories, he questions him as to how he was able to find and unseal Nirvana. Jellal explains that Nirvana is a dangerous Magic and that he unsealed it to completely destroy it. He then reveals that he already cast a Self-Destruction Spell on it and to himself, planning to free Erza from the pain he had cost.
