The attack on Magnolia is in full swing, and for Fairy Tail, there is no turning back.
Different spoilers have emerged but this is confirmed to be the real one.
Sir Samuel 016 of MangaHelpers provides the translation:
"My translation of these:
Fairy Tail Chapter 454: Flying Dragon Corps and Osprey Corps
- Ajeel's fleet came to attack the guild
- Freed creates a barrier to protect from the bombarding coming from Ajeel's fleet
- Mavis thought there would be fewer ships in a fleet
_______________________
- Biska leads the Osprey corps, who begin firing on the ships
- Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy are the Flying Dragon corps, who attack ships of the empire
- Bisca finishes charging the magic cannon Jupiter
- Ajeel's ship releases soldiers into the battle field
- Team Flying Dragon Land on Ajeel's ship, only to get motion sickness
- Ajeel is about to attack Natsu when he gets knocked down
- A sword is held to him
Ajeel: 'Who?!'
Erza: 'I will defeat our enemies!'
End statement of the chapter reads: 'The point of a sword prepares to bring the annihilation of the spriggans!'"
Erza is slated to take center stage once again, and fans have been complaining about how easy it was for her to win. Some predict that it might stretch for more than two chapters.
Reddit user Kljs: "He(Makarov) was surprised at Ajeel, yes, but he also noted other more powerful wizard in the Spriggan 12. If Ajeel is the lowest of the 12, then there is a chance Erza could beat him. But not without some heavy damage. Or if I know Hiro, he will let Erza win, but get backstab by another Spriggan.
Manga Helpers Amitnaruto has his money on Erza: "Don't forget that erza is a powerhouse character and most likely has enough power to kill Ajeel.
Ajeel is mostly here for comedic relief as he's too stupid too do much. I do think a surprise attack will occur by a stronger opponent that will take them offguard and that's when things will get tricky."
