Chapter 218

Fire Dragon vs. Flame God is the 218th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
Starting the battle with some fierce barrage, Natsu attacked Zancrow. However, Zancrow merely blocked them with no effort. While Zancrow claimed that he learned the style from Hades, Natsu laughed at the fact that Zancrow learned it from a human, while he learned from a dragon. The two launched their flare attack, but Natsu was the loser of the battle. Zancrow then burned everyone else watching because they were annoying. Angered, Natsu attacked with his Roar, but was eaten by Zancrow, and countered with a flame of its own. Unable to eat or block the flames, Natsu was blasted off a cliff.

Somewhere else, Lucy, Cana, Loke, and Gray were getting beaten by Caprico alone...

At the bottom of the cliff, Natsu got up and caught the scent of a dying Makarov. He rushed there to check his condition, but Makarov told him that they have no chance of winning the battle. Though Natsu told Makarov that he will win, Makarov still asked that they run. In the midst of their argument, Zancrow caught up with Natsu, and mocked Makarov for losing to Hades. Natsu, now trembling, wonders if what he felts right now is fear, which Zancrow mockingly confirms. Natsu, however, realized that this is a different fear from what Gildarts talked about. With the flames surrounding Natsu, he screamed that he will defeat Hades and will not forgive any of them.
