Fairy Tail 228
Wizards vs. Hunters
Sun Village Arc
As the Fairy Tail Mages arrive at the mysterious Sun Village, completely frozen, they get into a fight with the Hunters of Sylph Labyrinth. Meanwhile, a new threat, Succubus Eye, is also approaching the village, with Minerva as the new recruit.
Summary :
The group of Fairy Tail Mages arrives near the Sun Village, with Natsu getting motion sick soon upon landing on the ground. The group sees that the rocks are frozen, meaning the village must be close. Soon after, the Mages arrive at the Sun Village, everything being completely frozen, including a couple of giants who terrify the group in the process. Looking at the frozen giant, Gray recollects when Ur sacrificed herself to freeze Deliora and when Ultear saved his life by casting Last Ages. Lucy wonders about Gray, who tells her that he can't forget about Deliora upon seeing someone gigantic frozen in ice. Erza, however, is surprised that the giants actually exist, with Wendy also being surprised by the existence of a giant frozen dog. Thinking he can melt the ice, Natsu uses his Magic in an attempt to do so, only to fail, disappointed. Gray then points him out that Warrod told them that the ice isn't ordinary. Now he being the one touching the ice, Gray starts feeling the presence of Magic and after an unsuccessful attempt to melt it, Gray mentions that the Magic is similar to someone else's Magic.
Meanwhile, there is another threat approaching, that being a Dark Guild, Succubus Eye, with Minerva revealed to be one of the members. Back at the Mages and Hunters, Hunters express their disagreement on Mages' help request due to the difficulty to obtain the Moon Drip. While running, Lucy wonders where is Erza, with Wendy telling her she stayed behind to look for clues. After a while of running, Hunters finally decide to fight against the persistent Mages. Lala initiates by using his Stronger on Natsu, with the latter dodging the attack. Natsu uses his Fire Dragon's Iron Fist as a counterattack but the fire gets extinguished easily by the good physical properties of Stronger. Lala then uses his weapon to throw Natsu in the ice and Gray is next to attack with his Ice-Make: Freeze Lancer. Standing against Hiroshi, Wendy and Lucy dodge the attack of his Chain Blade, which cuts a frozen tree instead. Concurrently, Drake, hiding from the sight of his enemies, uses his sniper to shoot Happy and Carla, who evade the initial shot. Finding out where Drake is hiding, Lucy summons Sagittarius, who uses his arrow to shoot the gunner but the latter breaks it with a precise bullet shot, impressing Lucy. Having a tough time beating them, Natsu concludes that Hunters are much tougher than they look.
Concurrently, back at the Sun Village, Erza inspects the place, soon figuring out that all the giants are facing the same direction with their drawn weapons. Such observation leads her to believe they were in battle in order to protect something important, that being the Eternal Flame so she figures out that the location of Eternal Flame is in the opposite direction giants are facing. Back at the fight of Mages and Hunters, Natsu continues his assault on Lala but to no effect, while Gray uses his Ice-Make but stands no chance against Hiroshi's Chain Blade, all the while Drake starts shooting with his sniper, with Sagittarius counterattacking with his arrows. Back at the Sun Village, Erza sees her reflection in the ice and is confused when she sees herself younger in the reflection. Suddenly, Erza starts becoming younger, with most of her armor falling off, as if she is under an influence of magic of some sort.
