Tartaros Arc: The Celestial King vs. The Underworld King is the 249th episode of the Fairy Tail anime. It aired on September 5, 2015.

Being summoned through Lucy's sacrifice, the Celestial Spirit King soon clashes with the Underworld King, Mard Geer. Meanwhile, Jackal's explosions are proven ineffective as Lucy is protected by Aquarius' Magic, using it to defeat the Demon with her Urano Metria. At the same time, the Celestial Spirit King launches his Galaxia Blade, dispelling Alegria, much to Mard's surprise. The Now-revived Fairy Tail members then appear to assist Lucy, beginning the battle between four fairies and four demons.
