Fairy Tail is no stranger to life-or-death situations. Since Hiro Mashima created the magical series, fans have watched as their favorite characters have evaded death time and again. Still, there is only so much luck to go around. For every Fairy Tail escape, there is a death around the corner. And this week, the latest chapter of Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest ended with a cliffhanger that tees up a major death.
When we say major, well - we mean it. It isn't everyday that one of Natsu's crew faces death in the face. The end of chapter 167 shows Lucy Heartfilia getting eaten by a giant dragon, and that cannot mean anything good.
The whole thing went live as Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest saw Team Natsu take on Mercphobia. The dragon god is a pretty chill figure in the series by now, but an outside force has sent the water beast into a tizzy. Mercphobia is now attacking our stars, and while Natsu was away from his friends, Lucy had to step up. It was there Merc managed to nab Lucy and throw the celestial mage into his mouth.
If we know Fairy Tail, being swallowed by a dragon does not mean instant death, but things are going to be tense for a bit. Natsu is not around to combat the dragon god, and Lucy's teammates are having their own struggles. Given the plot armor Lucy has, well - we are not that scared she will die. In many ways, Lucy is the true protagonist of Fairy Tail while Natsu backs her up. At this point, the question is how will Lucy get out of this precarious situation.
