Doriath becomes enraged and transforms into a massive demon whose roar transforms everyone in the village into a child. Gray notices that the berserk Doriath instinctively avoids the ice freezing the village, which he deduces is harmful to the demon. Gray channels the ice's magic through his body to defeat Doriath, reversing his spell on everyone. Doriath is subsequently devoured by his and Minerva's giant, one-eyed bird mount. Meanwhile, Natsu meets with Lucy, Wendy, and Flare after tracing the voice to a frozen mountain, which Flare says is the Eternal Flame.

Later, the Fairy Tail members make their way back to Warrod's house to collect their reward, which turns out to be a potato.

Elfman and Lisanna encounter Seilah of the Nine Demon Gates, who takes control of Elfman's body to strangle Lisanna. Makarov interrogates Michello, who tells them that Face is a pulse bomb used by the Magic Council to eradicate all magic on the continent; this would leave humans defenseless against Tartaros, whose curse power would be unaffected.

| 252 | 'Tartaros Chapter – Gray vs. Silver' Transcription: 'Tarutarosu-hen: Gurei vs. Shirubā' (Japanese: | September 26, 2015 | |
| Gray furiously attacks Silver, whose ice demon slayer powers make him immune to Gray's ice magic. Gray tries channeling Silver's magic against him as previously done against Doriath, but it also has no effect. With no other options, Gray contemplates using the same Iced Shell technique used by Ur to permanently freeze Deliora, despite needing to sacrifice his own body in order to do so. He reconsiders and ultimately grievously wounds Silver by hurling a cannonball through his chest. Gray refuses to kill Silver, however, reasoning that he is not Deliora as he claims to be. | |||

| Silver reveals he is not Deliora, but rather the corpse of Gray's father, reanimated by Keyes's necromancy curse and driven by vengeance against Zeref's demons. He requests Gray to kill him, but Gray cannot bring himself to do so, despite the atrocities he has committed. As the two embrace, Silver telepathically contacts Juvia and instructs her to destroy Keyes and stop him from activating the Face bombs using Crawford's corpse. Juvia hesitates to do so, however, realizing that she would be separating Gray from his father forever. As Keyes taunts Juvia, she enters his body in the form of water and reluctantly destroys him from within. Before fading away, Silver bestows his demon slayer magic onto Gray, who vows to destroy E.N.D. | |||

| As the wizards continue to navigate Tartaros's headquarters, Torafuzar and Tempester assume their true 'Etherious' forms to kill Natsu and Gajeel. The two dragon slayers activate their lightning and shadow powers, respectively, but their teamwork is hindered when they begin bickering over whose form is stronger. Their argument allows Torafuzar to flood the area with toxic water to kill the wizards. Gajeel quickly loses oxygen while fighting Torafuzar underwater, but Levy saves him from drowning by giving him air with a kiss. | |||

The demon hardens his body to neutralize Gajeel's attacks while Gajeel and Levy begin to succumb to Torafuzar's poison. However, Gajeel uses the carbon-rich water to furbish his iron body into steel, which cuts through Torafuzar's defenses and defeats him. Tempester attacks Gajeel after he is left weakened from the fight, but Laxus comes to Gajeel's rescue and faces Tempester in a rematch. | |||

Mortally wounded, Tempester turns into a cloud of Devil Particles again to kill the wizards, but Gray arrives and freezes the particles with his new demon-slaying magic before his friends can be contaminated. Meanwhile, Erza and her allies reach the main control room to find Kyôka and Seilah successfully activating Face using Crawford's corpse. Mirajane arrives and defeats Seilah, leaving Erza to face Kyôka before the bombs detonate. | |||

| Erza and Kyôka's battle is interrupted when the wizards and demons hear a roaring sound in the distance. To their dread, they all recognize it as Acnologia, who wreaks destruction as he descends on the two guilds. Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, and Rogue are immobilized as they begin to pulsate violently. Natsu suddenly hears Igneel's voice saying the time has come for him to stop Acnologia, and watches in awe as the missing fire dragon emerges from his body and battles Acnologia, revealed to have been inside him all along. | |||

Igneel tasks Natsu with stealing the book of E.N.D. from Mard Geer with the promise of answering Natsu's questions about his fourteen-year disappearance; however, he instructs Natsu to avoid opening or destroying it. Seeing the dragons as obstacles in his plans, Mard Geer telepathically orders Kyôka to hasten Face's detonation by merging with the control device. Kyôka complies, aware that this will end her own life, and assumes her Etherious form to kill Erza. | |||

Despite not being able to see or hear Kyôka, however, Erza continues fighting and defeats her, but collapses before she can deliver the final blow. Minerva stabs Kyôka with Erza's dropped sword, but not before the timer to Face's detonation reaches zero. | |||

Enraged, Mard Geer places E.N.D.'s book down to use the full extent of his curse power to survive the dragon slayers' attacks. Meanwhile, Makarov telepathically contacts his guild to reveal their ultimate weapon, Lumen Histoire, which is revealed to be Mavis's body preserved in a crystal. | |||

Meanwhile, Mard Geer reveals that the true purpose of the Etherious demons created by Zeref is to kill their creator, and that they aim to eradicate magic in Earth-land to lift the seal on E.N.D.'s book. Gray arrives and uses his demon-slaying magic on Mard Geer, which proves effective. Mard Geer summons a flower containing Ziemma, who has been transformed into a demon mightier than the Nine Demon Gates. Sting and Rogue fight their former master, allowing Natsu and Gray to focus on battling Mard Geer in his Etherious form. | |||

| Natsu and Gray emerge from the rubble left by Mard Geer's curse, having survived due to Gray taking on a partial demonic form and taking the brunt of the attack for Natsu. After Gray collapses, Natsu enters a natural Dragon Force state and performs one final onslaught on Mard Geer, but he runs out magic power to continue fighting the demon. However, Natsu reveals himself to be a decoy for Gray, who shoots Mard Geer down with an arrow of demon-slaying ice. Despite Igneel seemingly defeating Acnologia as well, Face's countdown reaches zero. With Fairy Tail's ally guilds unable to dismantle the bombs, the dragon guardians of Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, and Rogue emerge and destroy Face. | |||

| After the dragons destroy the bombs across Ishgal, Face is deactivated, saving Earth-land from destruction. Acnologia gains a second wind and resumes his fight with Igneel, leaving Natsu and Gray to argue over whether to destroy E.N.D.'s book. However, Zeref arrives to retrieve the book and kills Mard Geer before vanishing. Igneel reveals that he and the other dragons sealed themselves within the dragon slayers to immunize them from becoming dragons like Acnologia, and to have the opportunity of killing Acnologia themselves. Igneel bites off Acnologia's arm, but Acnologia mercilessly kills the fire dragon, to Natsu's horror. | |||

After Doranbalt erases the guild's memories of Lumen Histoire, Makarov unveils an invisible Fairy Tail emblem on Doranbalt's shoulder, revealing him to be a guild member who erased his own memories to infiltrate the Magic Council.
