Fairy Tail and their allies struggle to defend Hargeon from the Historias of Ur, Zancrow, Keyes, Ezel, and Hades. Meanwhile, Erza is seriously injured while fighting the Historias of Ikaruga, Azuma, and Kyoka at once, but causes them to vanish by terrifying them with her furious glare before falling unconscious, leading Neinhart to suspect a relationship between her and Irene Belserion, one of the Spriggan 12. Jellal eventually defeats Neinhart after Kagura destroys Simon's Historia, while their allies defeat the other Historias and imprison Alvarez's forces. In Magnolia, Brandish warns Fairy Tail against fighting August and Irene, whom she describes as the strongest man and woman of the 12, respectively. Against Mest's objections, Lucy agrees to let Brandish negotiate a ceasefire with August. On the mountain of Zonia in northern Fiore, Irene transforms the snowy landscape into a lush flower field as a display of her power. Undetterred, Gajeel and his team prepare to battle her subordinates to avenge Sabertooth and Blue Pegasus.
