** Even worse, before that Lamy suggested Jackal [[Gorn blow Lucy's breasts up]] and for a moment it looked like he really was going to do it!

* Acnologia's key motive for destroying things? [[ForTheEvulz He wants to, pure and simple.]] [[FreudianExcuse Well, at least till we learn he had loved ones before the meanest of the dragons came along and ruined all that.]] Buy even so, he's lived for so long now that he doesn't really care about the past and what has been lost and now gets his jollies out of causing ''total destruction.''

* Chapter 450: Can we talk about the fact Mavis has the {{Curse}} of contradiction? Because of this she now kills everything she ever loves like the mother of Makarov or several innocent people. We then see the image of a Mavis who tried to stave herself to death to end her suffering, but only for the efforts to fail completely. We need to discuss Zeref seeing her as a person he can both walk with and [[TemptingFate love for the rest of his immortal life.]] So we need to think a paring people wanted to become canon only then for the KissOfDeath to end Mavis's life. I think we really need to talk about this...

** We see where she gets her cruelty from in Chapter 300. Jiemma, her father, is a ''MONSTER''.

*** The moment Sting truly snaps is rather horribly well portrayed too. He doesn't scream or howl, on the contrary, he suddenly falls silent and looks up with a blank stare as you realize that in that exact instant, Jiemma's life just became worthless to him.
* Chapter 316: Minerva spent the time waiting for Kagura and Erza to finish fighting torturing Millianna. Her screams were music to her ears. This causes Erza to violentlly [[RoaringRampageofRevenge SNAP]].
** Although it's Justified, Erza's rage to Minerva for torturing Milliana is also very scary. It's clear that you don't mess with the Fairy Tail Members, but if you nearly beat Erza's friends to death and torture them, She will END YOU.

** There are said to be THREE THOUSAND Faces. Wendy (who put everything she had into destroying ONE of them) starts crying out of sheer despair.

** Also, the sheer DEATH GLARE Gray gives off upon hearing this would put anything that Erza's made thus far in the series to shame. Juvia gives a smaller one to Keyes upon him saying that Gray's story would come to an end.

* Chapter 486 has a minor but chilling one: As Acnologia is preparing to join the battle between Sabertooth, Fairy Tail, Bradman, and Irene, Alvarez's strongest woman starts messing with the magic of the very planet to such an extent that Zeref senses it. Not only that, he sweats at the thought while wondering what she's planning. '''[[TheArchmage Z]][[TheEmperor E]][[CompleteImmortality R]][[NighInvulnerable E]][[OneHitKill F]] ''' is afraid.

** Porlyusica realizing that the growth inside of Natsu was not an anti-Ethernano tumor, but something MUCH worse...

** Natsu starts spewing out smoke, and when Lucy tries to justle him, remarks that he's ''cold as ice.'' Natsu, the fire mage, is '''COLD''' to the touch, and Lucy can't wake him.

* Chapter 316: Minerva spent the time waiting for Kagura and Erza to finish fighting torturing Millianna. Her screams were music to her ears.

** It's even more horrifying when you remember that the very reason Erza likes to wear armour is because of her trauma from Tower of Paradise. And now she is completely stripped, restrained and tortured, it's Tower of Paradise all over again, if not worse.

* In Chapter 228, Juvia hears that Meredy wants to kill Gray. Her response. %% NEEDS CONTEXT

* In Chapter 354 we meet a member of Tartaros who took out all of Succubus Eye using her power to turn them all into shriveled up, black, doll-things. Minerva shows up, and is scared as hell, and appears to be the next victim. When you can make readers feel bad for a Jerkass like Minerva, that's a scary damn villain.

* Chapters 383 & 384: Lucy is all alone with [[CuteAndPsycho Lamy]], [[NoNonsenseNemesis Torafuzar]], and [[AxCrazy Jackal]] all after her head. Even as she strains herself to open ''three'' gates simultaneously, she can only keep them at bay for so long. Eventually she's left defenseless from overusing her magic, and while willing herself to stand up, Jackal suddenly blows up her left leg, leaving her fighting back tears of pain while Jackal and Lamy laugh at her suffering. Then as Lamy offers to help Jackal finish her off, Jackal suddenly blows her up without a trace, horrifying Lucy. If not for [[TookALevelInKindness Aquarius]], Lucy would have suffered the same fate.
** Even worse, before that Lamy suggested Jackal [[PureGorn blow Lucy's breasts up]] and for a moment it looked like he really was going to do it!

** The final page of Chapter 390 has Gray reaching UnstoppableRage levels as he charges with pupiless eyes while Deliora laughs maniacally; a horrifying change from the [[TheStoic calm air]] he presented for most of his appearance.

* Chapter 396 gives us Torafuzar's Curse ability, Tenchi Kaimei, which is a sea of black water enveloping everyone nearby. Not only does it combine fear of the dark as well as drowning, it's also fatal poison to boot.

* Chapter 429 has Gômon thinking of ways to torture some info out of Lucy and Natsu. He considers using the goat method which if look up medieval torture shows it actually can be gruesome and Gômon explains the painful process to Lucy. Eventually he just decides to cut her into while Natsu is helpless to watch... until Gray shows his real agenda.

* Chapter 450: Can we talk about the fact Mavis has the {{Curse}} of contradiction. Because of this she now kills everything she ever loves like the mother of Makarov or several innocent people. We then see the image of a Mavis who tried to stave herself to death to end her suffering, but only for the efforts to fail completely. We need to discuss Zeref seeing her as a person he can both walk with and [[TemptingFate love for the rest of his immortal life.]] So we need to think a paring people wanted to become canon only then for the KissOfDeath to end Mavis's life. I think we really need to talk about this...

** Made worse in Chapter 483. One of the Spriggan Twelve members present was [[MalevolentMaskedMan Bradman]], a KnightOfCerebus whose EstablishingCharacterMoment had him [[BloodFromTheMouth brutally]] killing one of Sabertooth's RedShirts right in front of Yukino as the RedShirt pleaded with her to run for her life. One of the others present? [[TheDreaded Irene Belserion, an EvilIdenticalStranger who bears a striking resemblance to Erza, whom was stated by Neinhart to possibly even be related to Erza, and whom Brandish said has enough power to rival [[TheArchmage August]].]] It's no wonder Sabertooth and Blue Pegasus were so thoroughly destroyed; being defeated off-screen was probably done to [[GoryDiscretionShot spare the reader]] the carnage of the actual fight.
* Chapter 486 has a minor but chilling one: As Acnologia is preparing to join the battle between Sabertooth, Fairy Tail, Bradman, and Irene, Alvarez's strongest woman starts messing with the magic of the very planet to such an extent that Zeref senses it. Not only that, he sweats at the thought while wondering what she's planning. '''[[TheArchmage Z]][[TheEmperor E]][[CompleteImmortality R]][[NighInvulnerable E]][[OneHitKill F]] ''' is afraid.]]

** Dimaria has both Natsu and Lucy chained up, a sword to Natsu's neck and ready to kill them both. The entire time saying [[NeverMyFault they killed [[{{Yandere}} "her Randi"]]. The mixture of being defeated and imprisioned, while it was LaserGuidedKarma, made Dimaria thirsty for revenge and watching the same comrade to whom she TookALevelInKindness secretly helping their nation's enemies must have really broken her mind. Before, Dimaria delighted in just stripping her foes just to humiliate them and now? She is going most likely to kill Natsu right in front of Lucy out of pure sadism.]]

** And we finally get the answer for what the growth inside Natsu was, it was of Etherious origin, and it's power kicks right as Dimaria attempts to gouge Lucy's eyes out with a dagger... The next thing Lucy sees is Dimaria completely beaten and singed, muttering "monster" to herself and realizing what kind of person could do that. [[SealedEvilInACan E.[[TheDreaded N.]][[OurDemonsAreDifferent D.]] has awakened and is out for Zeref's head. The look upon Natsu's face as he is searching for him is unsettling, with black flame aura covering his hands, which become much more demonic, as he is muttering Zeref's name constantly. And then comes Gray...]]

* What? No mention for when [[TheDreaded Acnologia started stepping on Irene's corpse in Chapters 524 and 528?]]

* Chapter 538: Just when you thought the war was over, Zeref gone, and the Black Dragon defeated for good, ''the Time Lapse cracks open again.'' '''Acnologia ain't done yet.'''

* Acnologia's key motive for destroying things? [[ForTheEvulz He wants to, pure and simple. [[FreudianExcuse Well, at least till we learn he had loved ones before the meanest of the dragons came along and ruined all that.]] Buy even so, he's lived for so long now that he doesn't really care about the past and what has been lost and now gets his jollies out of causing ''total destruction.'']]

* Chapter 486 has a minor but chilling one: As Acnologia is preparing to join the battle between Sabertooth, Fairy Tail, Bradman, and Irene, Alvarez's strongest woman starts messing with the magic of the very planet to such an extent that Zeref senses it. Not only that, he sweats at the thought while wondering what she's planning. '''[[TheArchmage Z[[TheEmperor E]][[CompleteImmortality R]][[NighInvulnerable E]][[OneHitKill F]] ''' is afraid.]]

** [[UpToEleven Turned up to eleven]] in the anime version. Juvia's [[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes go red]], her voice becomes much deeper, and she starts [[LimpAndLivid walking like a limp puppet]]. ''Erza'' sounds either worried or scared when she sees her.

* Chapter 443: The Alvarez Empire might be this cranked UpToEleven.

** Chapter 445: Manages to Turn it UpToEleven, Squared.

* Zeref with Fairy Heart. He was already the world's most powerful mage before, but Fairy Heart has boosted him UpToEleven. How strong is he? Certainly strong enough to '''punch a hole through Natsu's sternum.'''

** Chapter 415:TheReveal of the nature of his Dragonslaying magic: Apparently having something to do with [[SoulPower souls.]] What makes this horrifying is that [[YourSoulIsMine he could literally reap Dragon souls with it and leave them in a half-dead, weakened state,]] [[LivingOnBorrowedTime leaving them to waste away.]] Worse is the fact that he did this to all of the Dragonslayers' Dragon parents, and by releasing themselves from their children, they used up their remaining time. Who knows how many other Dragons suffered the same fate by his hands?]]

* The Tower of Heaven Arc shows Erza's nightmarish past. It's so disturbing over themes of slavery, child abuse, and Erza outright murdering every guard in a fit of rage shows just how it feels like a psychological horror series.

* [[spoiler:Extalia in general and Minister of State Nadi in particular]] are really, skin-crawlingly creepy.
* [[spoiler:Midnight]]. Especially in that illusion of his OneWingedAngel form.
** Made scarier in the anime with those demons emerging. Plus, there are illusions of Rob and Simon getting sliced up, Jellal getting eaten, illusions of more than one [[spoiler: Midnight]] and kid Erza.
* The ''{{Gorn}}'' that was [[spoiler:Gajeel's]] fight against [[spoiler:[[EliteMook Yomazu and Kawazu]]]].
** ''All the way through'' and then he ''grabs'' it and auuugh... [[spoiler: Translation: when it looks like Gajeel's winning the fight, Yomazu skewers his arm with his sword, to the point that the tip was protruding from Gajeel's shoulder. And then he grabs it and breaks it by bending his arm (which, by now, is bleeding like there's no tomorrow.]]
* [[spoiler:Wendy]] hanging out with a guy who looked like he was thinking about pushing her off a cliff. The DissonantSerenity in his face.

** [[spoiler: It is revealed that it killed Dragons in droves and earned both the title of their ruler and being a terror to them. Bonus points in that [[WasOnceAMan it used to be a human]]]].

** Chapter 415:[[spoiler:TheReveal of the nature of his Dragonslaying magic: Apparently having something to do with [[SoulPower souls]].

* Fairy Tail of the Dead Meeeeeeeeen Special: Has a bit reference to those of Raccoon City Incident in ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' (''2'' and ''3'') and ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' movie episode ''Night of the Living Pharmacist''.

* The ending of Chapter 249, when [[spoiler: Zeref]] finally starts acting like an apocalyptic monster of legend.

** [[spoiler: A herd of ''10,000'' dragons are coming to attack the ''entire'' Kingdom of Fiore. OhCrap doesn't even begin sum this up]].
* [[spoiler: However, only seven of them got past the gate. Seeing how those seven were enough to give the best guilds absolute hell, [[FridgeHorror imagine if it was all 10,000...]].]]
* Chapter 318: Rogue being possessed by [[spoiler: ''his own shadow!'']]
* [[spoiler: Gajeel as the Iron-Shadow Dragon Slayer. His appearance ring any bells? He looks like friggin' ''Venom''!]]

* Chapter 334: The rather horrible way [[spoiler:Gray]] apparently dies.
* Chapter 335: On the first page, the mini-dragons are apparently [[spoiler:eating Macao alive.]] And to make it worse, his ''son'' is ''right there''! Also a tearjerker since [[spoiler:Macao]] is assuring him that he's fine and telling his friend he leaves his son to him.
* A FridgeHorror and sort of nightmare fuel, but Chapter 337: [[spoiler: It is implied Future!Rogue's StartOfDarkness involved Frosch's death. Then this chapter reveals it wasn't a death, but a ''murder''. So who will take Frosch's life?]]
** As of Chapter 425, it's apparently [[spoiler:[[FaceHeelTurn Gray]]]]
* Chapter 340: There is something really unnerving about the look in [[spoiler: [[TokenMiniMoe Mavis's]] eyes when she gives Zeref the threat of '''annihilation''' if chooses to wipe out humanity. Yes, she gave a full-blown death threat.]]
** I'm sorry, is no one disturbed by the fact that [[spoiler: the man who can kill you with just a look is threatening to massacre ''every living being on the planet''?]]
*** Personally, I'd be more disturbed by the normally cheery and optimistic [[spoiler: ,and let's not forget dead, Mavis]] giving said [[spoiler: man who can kill you with just a look]] a death threat and fully intending to follow through with it.

* Chapter 348: As if the [[spoiler: masked man's [[NightmareFace face]] wasn't bad enough]], he wants to [[spoiler: ''[[ImAHumanitarian eat]]'' Gray]]!!

* In Chapter 356, we have ''another'' member of Tartaros named Jackal who [[spoiler:single-handedly massacred the '''entire Magic Council''' except for Doranbolt, who was lucky to escape with his life]], all while sporting a SlasherSmile that would give the entire ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' cast chills. And if that's not bad enough, all of Tartaros's higher-tier mages are [[spoiler:demons from the Book of Zeref]], and their Guild Master is none other than [[spoiler:[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast E.N.D.]], the most powerful demon Zeref has ever created, who even Atlas Flame was terrified of and supposedly even kicked ''Igneel's'' ass.]] Tartaros is really starting to make ''Grimoire Heart'' look tame by comparison.
* Speaking of Jackal, in Chapter 361 (appropriately named ''The Two Bombs'') has Jackal placing one of the surviving Council members and a ''pregnant woman'' inside of explosive spheres and then forcing Lucy and Wendy into a SadisticChoice--choose who lives or who dies. What makes it horrifying is the way he just watches all involved squirm and plead for their lives, especially the woman who is pleading not for her life but for that of her unborn child and the Council guy who tells them the woman doesn't matter because he's more important--all the while Jackal is cackling and giggling in the background. [[spoiler: Thank goodness [[BigDamnHeroes Natsu survived Jackal's earlier attack]], because if he hadn't...]]

* Chapter 365: We see Erza tied up at Tartaros's HQ, completely at their mercy. And then, she's [[ColdBloodedTorture interrogated]] for Jellal's location. How effective is the torture? Turns out Kyôka can control feelings and increased pain sensitivity to maximum. It has Erza, one of the most powerful mages in Fiore ''screaming in agony and it reduces her to tears''.
** Kyôka decides that the shallow cuts she was torturing Erza with before aren't enough, and has moved to ''[[ElectricTorture electrocution]]''.

* Chapter 376: Just when you [[SerialEscalation think the Tartaros Arc can't get any worse]], Ezel, already having had his EstablishingCharacterMoment as an AxCrazy nutcase whose moniker is '''''Child Slicer''''', has a fight with [[spoiler:Wendy]]. It starts off [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown about as bad]] as you'd think it would go, but right before he goes for the finishing blow, [[spoiler:Carla]] tries to stop him. How does Ezel respond? [[ImAHumanitarian By trying to eat her]]. Right in front of [[spoiler:Wendy]], who has been best friends with her for ''years''.
* Chapter 382: That flying island Tartaros has as their headquarters? [[spoiler:Use a curse called "Alegria", and it becomes a flying EldritchAbomination that turns almost all of Fairy Tail [[TakenForGranite to stone]] and assimilates them into the architecture of the guild hall.]] And this gets [[FridgeHorror so much worse]] when you remember just how many other skulls, skeletons, and other assorted SceneryGorn there are already built into the walls.
* Chapters 383 & 384: Lucy is all alone with [[CuteAndPsycho Lamy]], [[NoNonsenseNemesis Torafuzar]], and [[AxCrazy Jackal]] all after her head. Even as she strains herself to open ''three'' gates simultaneously, she can only keep them at bay for so long. Eventually she's left defenseless from overusing her magic, and while willing herself to stand up, Jackal suddenly blows up her left leg, leaving her fighting back tears of pain while Jackal and Lamy laugh at her suffering. Then as Lamy offers to help Jackal finish her off, Jackal [[spoiler:suddenly blows her up without a trace, horrifying Lucy]]. If not for [[spoiler:[[TookALevelInKindness Aquarius]]]], Lucy would have suffered the same fate.
** Even worse, before that Lamy suggested Jackal [[spoiler: [[PureGorn blow Lucy's breasts up]]]] and for a moment it looked like he really was going to do it!

* Chapter 390: TheReveal concerning Silver: [[spoiler:he's actually Deliora possessing the reanimated corpse of Gray's father.]] To think he was originally portrayed as the nicest member of Tartaros too. The SlasherSmile he gives while explaining this only makes it worse.
** The colored page at the beginning of the chapter shows that the scar on Silver's forehead was from a fairly graphic gash [[spoiler:ironically created by the very demon now possessing him]].

** The final page of Chapter 390 has Gray reaching UnstoppableRage levels as he charges with pupiless eyes while [[spoiler:Deliora]] laughs maniacally; a horrifying change from the [[TheStoic calm air]] he presented for most of his appearance.
*** [[spoiler:In the end though, it all turns out to be a lie. Silver's just the Reanimated corpse of Gray's father. But we do get some NightmareFuel from Keyes and his experiments instead. As well as the Skeletons he summons to bind Lucy.]]

* In Chapter 399 [[spoiler:[[TheDreaded Acnologia]]]] returns and induces a MassOhCrap in everyone, even Tartaros and especially the Fairy Tail members, which is justified considering their past experience with it. Even [[MemeticBadass Marde Geer]] is visibly nervous.

* Chapter 413: The very concept of Dragon Slayer magic...[[spoiler: Knowing you turn into the very being you are slaying one day is horrifying to think about not to mention how Acnologia must feel in his current form and body. ]]
** Chapter 415:[[spoiler:TheReveal of the nature of his Dragonslaying magic: Apparently having something to do with [[SoulPower souls]]. What makes this horrifying is that [[YourSoulIsMine he could literally reap Dragon souls with it and leave them in a half-dead, weakened state,]] [[LivingOnBorrowedTime leaving them to waste away.]] Worse is the fact that he did this to all of the Dragonslayers' Dragon parents, and by releasing themselves from their children, they used up their remaining time. Who knows how many other Dragons suffered the same fate by his hands?]]
* Chapter 414: [[spoiler:Igneel's very, very FamilyUnfriendlyDeath, and it was right in front of Natsu. Zeref's not-so-subtle threat to Natsu right before that only makes things worse.]]
* Chapter 416: We finally learn what E.N.D. truly stands for: [[spoiler: '''E'''therious '''N'''atsu '''D'''ragneel]].

* Chapter 424: [[spoiler: Gray has seemingly pulled a [[FaceHeelTurn Sasuke]] and joined a cult dedicated to Zeref. His demon slaying magic also has grown taking over more parts of his body]].
** The similarities only grow with Chapter 426. [[spoiler:The whole reason he's joined the cult is to get at the Book of E.N.D., and he's [[RevengeBeforeReason willing to do whatever it takes to do it]]]]. The blow is softened somewhat by the realization that [[spoiler:it's partially due to over-usage of his Devil Slayer Magic and getting hit with Mard Geer's Memento Mori that's corrupted him]], but that's a whole different can of nightmares...
** [[spoiler:Thankfully, it turns out he was a FakeDefector the whole time, but those growing marks really were a threat, considering he had to go to Porlyusica to get them checked out]].

* Chapter 429 has Gômon thinking of ways to torture some info out of Lucy and Natsu. He considers using the goat method which if look up medieval torture shows it actually can be gruesome and Gômon explains the painful process to Lucy. Eventually he just decides to cut her into while Natsu is helpless to watch... [[spoiler: until Gray shows his real agenda.]]
* Chapter 433: Alok of Avatar provides some frighting concepts in just one chapter. [[spoiler: The fact he burned his own face which forced him to wear a mask is one thing. Then not only did he harm his own body it was in fact a requirement to summon the War God Ikusatsunagi. This god would then kill everything in it's path including his cultists and followers including Mary! All of that just to bring Zeref to the priest...]]
* Chapter 436: Oh boy. You know about the terror of E.N.D. and Zeref's magic right? [[spoiler: Well turns out E.N.D. was Zeref's intention of reviving his long dead brother, who IS Natsu, by the way. Oh and Acnologia has a humanoid form and he looks just as frightening as does his dragon state]].
** The very conversation between [[spoiler: Zeref and Acnologia]]. Not only was [[spoiler: Acnologia]] planning to [[spoiler: [[OmnicidalManiac just kill everyone]]]] but [[spoiler: Zeref decided to 'help' him in his homicidal crusade!]]

* 439: Hey guys you remember that weapon called Face which took the effort of Dragons to destroy before it sucked away all the magic on Fiore. Well...[[spoiler: turns out this weapon along with the Magic Council were the only things stopping the combined might of the Alvarez Empire a combination of 730 guilds from invading and taking Lumen Histore. Good job Makarov went to stall them for time right!? ]]
* Chapter 443: [[spoiler:The Alvarez Empire]] might be this cranked UpToEleven.
* Chapter 444: TheReveal that Emperor Spriggan, the guy who rules [[spoiler:the Albereth Empire mentioned above]] is apparently [[spoiler:Zeref himself. The OmnicidalManiac BigBad who is in an alliance with ''another'' OmnicidalManiac, who is a nigh unstoppable Dragon to boot, has an entire empire at his disposal and has twelve of the most powerful mages alive as his PraetorianGuard.]] Fairy Tail has its work cut out for them.

* Chapter 450: Can we talk about the fact [[spoiler: Mavis has the {{Curse}} of contradiction. Because of this she now kills everything she ever loves like the mother of Makarov or several innocent people.]] We then see [[spoiler: the image of a Mavis who tried to stave herself to death to end her suffering, but only for the efforts to fail completely.]] We need to discuss [[spoiler: Zeref seeing her as a person he can both walk with and [[TemptingFate love for the rest of his immortal life.]]]] So we need to think a paring people wanted to become canon only then for the [[spoiler: KissOfDeath to end Mavis's life.]] I think we really need to talk about this...
** To elaborate, the effects of the Ankhseram curse have always been rather horrifying to behold, but it is in this chapter that the sadism and injustice of it are really fleshed out. Within a year of its activation, [[spoiler: Mavis was reduced from an innocent and cheerful girl to a disheveled, death-seeking shell of her former self. She wanted to die so desperately that she tried ''starving herself for half a year'', and when Zeref finally found her, she ''full out begged him to kill her''. Also consider that Zeref himself went through the exact same thing in the beginning, but unlike Mavis, no one with a similar condition would be coming to him for several centuries yet.]]
*** When they met for the third time, [[spoiler: Zeref appeared rather well-adjusted compared to Mavis at first glance. He was dressed immaculately, telling her that there was nothing they could do to escape the curse and calmly advising her to change her perspective.]] Seems as if one could get used to it given the time? ''God no.'' [[spoiler: Turned out, the entire thing screwed with his mind so much that he couldn't even notice contradictions in his own thoughts, and the moment Mavis pointed it out, he went into a breakdown. Mavis, despite her disheveled, pitiful appearance, was the far saner of the two. Those extra centuries of coping with the curse had only turned Zeref into an even greater mental and emotional wreck beneath his calm demeanor.]] Then consider that this guy is one of the most magically and politically powerful people on the planet.
* Chapter 453: As mentioned on the Awesome page; [[spoiler: Alvarez managing to sneak fifty airships right over the Fairy Tail guild completely caught everyone off guard, even [[TheSmartGirl Mavis]]]].
* Chapter 455: After a brief HopeSpot in the previous chapter, Fairy Tail finds out just how utterly outmatched they really are. [[spoiler:Those fifty airships led by Ajeel?]] They were only the ''vanguard''. [[spoiler:A few ''hundred'' more airships are on their way. Along with an army of over a million troops. And ''all of the Spriggan Twelve'' are part of the assault. One of them is curbstomping Erza. Another is effortlessly breaking through Freed's barrier. A third is casually taking a bath in Lucy's home. The enemy forces vastly outnumber them, are far more powerful, and are already in their midst.]] Barring a miracle, outside aid, or both, Fairy Tail is ''screwed''. Even Mavis can't see a way out of this disaster.
* Chapter 466: [[spoiler: We see the first deaths of this war by Bradman the God of Death. Then Marin goes batshit after Brandish's treatment of him, causing him to try to choke her to death. Keep in mind this manga, is (supposedly) [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids for children.]]]]
* Chapter 470: [[spoiler:God Selena effortlessly survives the attacks of the other top 4 mages of the continent and utterly crushes them. But that is not the terrifying part. That comes when Acnologia of all people appears and effortlessly cleaves Serena almost in half in the span of one panel, reminding the readers yet again how absurdly powerful he is. He also seems to be homing in on the remaining Dragon Slayers whom he wants to kill.]]
* Chapter 480: [[spoiler: Gajeel's group heads to aid Sabertooth and Blue Pegasus... only to find them [[CurbStompBattle utterly defeated]]. Not only that, they were also ''crucified'' and paraded around like war trophies.]]
** Made worse in Chapter 483. One of the Spriggan Twelve members present was [[MalevolentMaskedMan Bradman]], a KnightOfCerebus whose EstablishingCharacterMoment had him [[BloodFromTheMouth brutally]] killing one of Sabertooth's RedShirts right in front of Yukino as the RedShirt pleaded with her to run for her life. One of the others present? [[spoiler:[[TheDreaded Irene Belserion]], an EvilIdenticalStranger who bears a striking resemblance to Erza, whom was stated by Neinhart to possibly even be related to Erza, and whom Brandish said has enough power to rival [[TheArchmage August]].]] It's no wonder Sabertooth and Blue Pegasus were so thoroughly destroyed; being defeated off-screen was probably done to [[GoryDiscretionShot spare the reader]] the carnage of the actual fight.
* Chapter 486 has a minor but chilling one: [[spoiler: As Acnologia is preparing to join the battle between Sabertooth, Fairy Tail, Bradman, and Irene, Alvarez's strongest woman starts messing with the magic of the very planet to such an extent that Zeref senses it. Not only that, he sweats at the thought while wondering what she's planning. '''[[TheArchmage Z]][[TheEmperor E]][[CompleteImmortality R]][[NighInvulnerable E]][[OneHitKill F]] ''' is afraid.]]

** [[spoiler: Dimaria has both Natsu and Lucy chained up, a sword to Natsu's neck and ready to kill them both. The entire time saying [[NeverMyFault they killed]] [[{{Yandere}} "her Randi"]]. The mixture of being defeated and imprisioned, while it was LaserGuidedKarma, made Dimaria thirsty for revenge and watching the same comrade to whom she TookALevelInKindness secretly helping their nation's enemies must have really broken her mind. Before, Dimaria delighted in just stripping her foes just to humiliate them and now? She is going most likely to kill Natsu right in front of Lucy out of pure sadism.]]
** Porlyusica [[spoiler: realizing that the growth inside of Natsu was not an anti-Ethernano tumor, but something MUCH worse...]]

** [[spoiler: And we finally get the answer for what the growth inside Natsu was, it was of Etherious origin, and it's power kicks right as Dimaria attempts to gouge Lucy's eyes out with a dagger... The next thing Lucy sees is Dimaria completely beaten and singed, muttering "monster" to herself and realizing what kind of person could do that. [[SealedEvilInACan E.]][[TheDreaded N.]][[OurDemonsAreDifferent D.]] has awakened and is out for Zeref's head. The look upon Natsu's face as he is searching for him is unsettling, with black flame aura covering his hands, which become much more demonic, as he is muttering Zeref's name constantly. And then comes Gray...]]
** [[spoiler: Natsu as E.N.D is very frightening, even more than the demons of Tartaros. The Nine Demon Gates might have been a bunch of psychopaths and sadists but they were still rational individuals. E.N.D on the other hand walks around searching for Zeref in order to kill him like if he was BrainwashedAndCrazy and hurting or even killing anyone that stands in his way, like what he did to Dimaria and those poor Alvarez troops.]]
** As stated on the Awesome page: [[spoiler: E.N.D.'s sheer power. The last time Dimaria was defeated, it required both a Dragon Slayer and a God Slayer, mages trained in Magic specifically made to kill Gods, at her full power with the intervention of another Time Mage who could only cancel out a TimeStandsStill spell and cost the Time Mage and the God Slayer their magic and even then it was a very close battle. E.N.D. on the other hand had only just awoken, moved through the TimeStandStill spell and [[CurbStompBattle curb stomped]] a PhysicalGod so hard she had a VillainousBreakdown, muttering about how strong he was. Natsu was stronger before but END is a whole other level,]]

* [[spoiler: What? No mention for when [[TheDreaded Acnologia]] started stepping on Irene's corpse in Chapters 524 and 528?]]
* [[spoiler: Zeref with Fairy Heart. He was already the world's most powerful mage before, but Fairy Heart has boosted him UpToEleven. How strong is he? Certainly strong enough to '''punch a hole through Natsu's sternum.''']]
* Chapter 538: Just when you thought the war was over, Zeref gone, and the Black Dragon defeated for good, [[spoiler: ''the Time Lapse cracks open again.'' '''Acnologia ain't done yet.''']]
* Chapter 542: The Mages devise a plan to lure Acnologia's dragon form to Port Hargeon and make it land on a ship so he will succumb to motion sickness. It's also established that the body is operating on a sort of autopilot without the mind governing it. [[spoiler:He ''completely'' annihilates the lot of boats docked there out of ''pure instinct'' to destroy his weaknesses with a ''tremendous'' number of devastating magical blasts. And then ''laughs'' at his destruction.]]
* Acnologia's key motive for destroying things? [[spoiler:[[ForTheEvulz He wants to, pure and simple.]] [[FreudianExcuse Well, at least till we learn he had loved ones before the meanest of the dragons came along and ruined all that.]] Buy even so, he's lived for so long now that he doesn't really care about the past and what has been lost and now gets his jollies out of causing ''total destruction.'']]

** Also, the sheer [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/fairy_tail/v38/c390/31.html DEATH GLARE]] Gray gives off upon hearing this would put anything that Erza's made thus far in the series to shame. Juvia gives a smaller one to Keyes upon him saying that Gray's story would come to an end.

* Chapter 405: Mard Geer's SlasherSmile at the [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/fairy_tail/v38/c405/22.html end of the chapter]] is one for the manga history books.

** The very conversation between [[spoiler: Zeref and Acnologia]]. Not only was [[spoiler: Acnologia]] planning to [[spoiler: [[OmnicidalManiac just kill everyone]]]] but [[spoiler: Zeref decided to 'help' him in his homicidal crusade!]] [[http://www.mangareader.net/fairy-tail/436/19 This page shows us everything we need to know.]]

[[folder: Albareth Empire Arc]]
* 439: Hey guys you remember that weapon called Face which took the effort of Dragons to destroy before it sucked away all the magic on Fiore. Well...[[spoiler: turns out this weapon along with the Magic Council were the only things stopping the combined might of the Albareth Empire a combination of 730 guilds from invading and taking Lumen Histore. Good job Makarov went to stall them for time right!? ]]
* Chapter 443: [[spoiler:The Albareth Empire]] might be this cranked UpToEleven.

* Chapter 453: As mentioned on the Awesome page; [[spoiler: Albareth managing to sneak fifty airships right over the Fairy Tail guild completely caught everyone off guard, even [[TheSmartGirl Mavis]]]].

* Chapter 486 has a minor but chilling one: [[spoiler: As Acnologia is preparing to join the battle between Sabertooth, Fairy Tail, Bradman, and Irene, Albath's strongest woman starts messing with the magic of the very planet to such an extent that Zeref senses it. Not only that, he sweats at the thought while wondering what she's planning. '''[[TheArchmage Z]][[TheEmperor E]][[CompleteImmortality R]][[NighInvulnerable E]][[OneHitKill F]] ''' is afraid.]]

* [[spoiler: However, only seven of them got past the gate. Seeing how those seven were enough to give the best guilds absolute hell, [[FridgeHorror image if it was all 10,000...]].]]

** ''All the way through'' and then he ''grabs'' it and auuugh... [[spoiler: Translation: when it looks like Gajeel's winning the fight, Yomazu skewers his arm with his sword, to the point that the tip was protunding from Gajeel's shoulder. And then he grabs it and breaks it by bending his arm (which, by now, is bleeding like there's no tomorrow.]]

*** The moment Sting truly snaps is rather horribly well portrayed too. He doesn't scream or howl, on the contrary, he suddenly falls silent and looks up with a blank stare as you realise that in that exact instant, Jiemma's life just became worthless to him.

* Chapter 455: After a brief HopeSpot in the previous chapter, Fairy Tail finds out just how utterly outmatched they really are. [[spoiler:Those fifty airships led by Ajeel?]] They were only the ''vanguard''. [[spoiler:A few ''hundred'' more airships are on their way. Along with an army of over a million troops. And ''all of the Spriggan Twelve'' are part of the assault. One of them is curbstomping Erza. Another is effortlessly breaking through Fried's barrier. A third is casually taking a bath in Lucy's home. The enemy forces vastly outnumber them, are far more powerful, and are already in their midst.]] Barring a miracle, outside aid, or both, Fairy Tail is ''screwed''. Even Mavis can't see a way out of this disaster.

* Chapter 486 has a minor but chilling one: [[spoiler: As Achnologia is preparing to join the battle between Sabertooth, Fairy Tail, Bradman, and Irene, Albath's strongest woman starts messing with the magic of the very planet to such an extent that Zeref senses it. Not only that, he sweats at the thought while wondering what she's planning. '''[[TheArchmage Z]][[TheEmperor E]][[CompleteImmortality R]][[NighInvulnerable E]][[OneHitKill F]] ''' is afraid.]]
