With twenty minutes remaining before Face's detonation, Natsu and Igneel fight Mard Geer and Acnologia, respectively. Sting and Rogue arrive on the battlefield and join Natsu, who reluctantly accepts and pushes Mard Geer back with their assistance. 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.
