Natsu was surprised to find Mest missing. Wendy explained that Mest disappeared after Natsu and Zancrow left. They didn’t worry about it.
Natsu’s injuries weren’t serious; Wendy healed him quickly. However, even Wendy couldn’t fully heal Makarov, only temporarily alleviating his pain and keeping him alive.
"I’m so sorry, Finn. Master’s injuries are too severe," Wendy said, filled with self-reproach.
"Even Sky Magic is useless at this point," Charle added, shaking her head.
Finn comforted Wendy.
"It’s okay, Wendy. Keeping the Master alive is already a miracle."
Finn looked at the others.
"Natsu, you take care of the Master. Take him back to camp."
Natsu was puzzled. "And you? Aren’t you coming back with us?"
Finn nodded. "There are probably still five of the Seven Kin of Purgatory on this island."
"Our companions might be in tough battles. I need to deal with them."
Rustyrose retracted his arm, which had transformed into a dark black sword. The guardian beast he had summoned landed beside him. He looked at the fallen Elfman and Evergreen, unable to stop smiling.
"What... kind of magic is that?" Elfman murmured.
Elfman and Evergreen thought Rustyrose’s magic was summoning magic, like Lucy’s, with a weak body. Elfman would hold the beast, and Evergreen would attack Rustyrose.
But Rustyrose’s arm had become the "Dark Black Sword," proving them wrong.
"Even if I told you trash, you wouldn’t understand!"
Rustyrose adjusted his glasses.
"What did you say?" Elfman shouted.
"Materialization Arc!" Rustyrose ignored Elfman’s anger. He spread his hands, filled with pride. "I can materialize anything I imagine. It’s invincible magic!"
"What?!" Elfman and Evergreen were shocked.
"How... is that possible?" Evergreen whispered.
"It’s too close to the abyss of magic, but it has strong side effects!"
"Ah, what a sad fate!" Rustyrose lamented, touching his forehead.
He opened his hand, revealing a picture of a figure—the strange man they’d just fought.
"All this ends when we find Zeref. A new age of magic will begin!"
"The Great Magic World!" Rustyrose’s gentlemanly demeanor was gone, replaced by madness.
"Zeref... that’s Zeref..." Evergreen and Elfman were shaken.

"Great Magic World? What’s that?" Cana and the others asked Capricorn.
Capricorn explained calmly, "It’s a world ruled by darkness and chaos."
"Magic’s original world."
Capricorn looked at the injured four. "In that world, non-mages can’t survive. Or, they live in hell!"
"When Zeref awakens, he’ll be the world king."
"Then the Great Magic World will arrive!"
Cana and Lucy’s eyes widened.
"Non-mages will be destroyed..." Cana whispered, disbelieving.
"That’s ridiculous!" Lucy shouted. "It’s a terrible world for everyone!"
Capricorn shrugged. "Honestly, I don’t know Hades’ true intentions."
"Only those who understand the abyss of magic can reach that level."
Capricorn continued, "Zeref is on this island. If we get him, the world will be reborn in magic!"
"So we have two tasks: find Zeref, and destroy Fairy Tail."
Capricorn prepared to fight.
"Destroy Fairy Tail? Try it!" Gray clashed his fists.
"Wait!" Loke stopped them. "You find the other Kin and defeat them. I’ll take this one."
They were puzzled. They couldn’t defeat Capricorn. Now Loke would face him alone?
Loke explained. Capricorn’s magic is Human Subjugation Magic, temporarily weakening humans’ fighting ability and magic. Humans can’t win.
But it doesn’t affect Celestial Spirits like Loke. And Capricorn is a Celestial Spirit—Capricorn! It’s a Celestial Spirit battle.

Ultear looked at the figure before her, filled with excitement.
"Zeref... I’ve searched for so long, and finally found you!"
Ultear bowed slightly.
"Great Zeref, we welcome your return!"
Zeref seemed to understand why they started this war.
"You want my power?"
A cold, angry voice echoed.
"I don’t want to cause chaos or death in this era!"
"Stop attacking this island!"
Immense, terrifying magic surged from Zeref.
Ultear was stunned.
"No chaos or death?"
She couldn’t believe it.
"Is he still asleep?"
"I’m furious!"
Sweat covered Ultear’s face.

Finn and Nancy walked through the forest, some time after parting with Natsu and the others. They’d made a simple plan: Finn and Nancy would find the remaining Seven Kin and defeat them. Natsu and Wendy would escort Makarov back to camp.
Their target was where Erza and Azuma had fought.
"But I don’t know if they’re still there," Nancy said.
