A brave and noble Juvia Lockser will make the ultimate sacrifice in the next chapter of Hiro Mashima's "Fairy Tail" manga. Juvia of the Great Sea will reportedly offer her own life to ensure the safety of Gray Fullbuster and in the process, the Fairy Tail guild.
"Fairy Tail" chapter 498, which was released on Aug. 24, marked the beginning of an intense battle between Invel Yura and Gray, with the former overwhelming the latter. With this, Gray activated his Demon Slayer power and successfully landed a critical hit on Invel, Otaku Nuts has learned.
Hence, Invel offered Gray the opportunity to join Zeref Dragneel's armed force. Apparently, the latter turned him down. Trying to awaken Gray's darkness, Invel used an Ice Lock on Gray and Juvia, making them his puppets.
Spoilers for the next chapter suggest that the protection guard of Emperor Spriggan will reportedly order Gray and Juvia to battle each other to the death, as they would only be freed from their collars when one is left alive. Invel plans to have Gray eliminate E.N.D. to free Zeref from his enthusiastic bonds.
However, Invel plans are seemingly thwarted as the two attempt a double suicide. Invel then watches on in dismay, bewildered that Juvia and Gray would sacrifice themselves than kill each other.
As the Winter General withdraws, Gray discovers his consciousness returning gradually as Juvia's Blood Transfusion Magic replenishes the stock he has lost, Hall of Fame Magazine reported. Later, as a wrath leak through his body, Gray heads towards Invel.
"Fairy Tail" chapter 500, dubbed "Fire and Ice," will reportedly follow Natsu's participation in the intense battle between Invel and Gray. As the former appears, the latter will presumably inform him about Juvia's death. Hence, Natsu will assure Gray of Invel's death.
"Fairy Tail" chapter 499 is scheduled for release in Japan on Aug. 31, while the 500th chapter will be released on Sept. 7. Check out the video below for more information:
