The team travels to the city of Ermina in search of Mercphobia, the Water Dragon God, encountering a trio of Dragon Eaters from the Diabolos guild who intend to gain Mercphobia's magic by devouring him. Mercphobia appears in a humanoid form to end the teams' fighting, revealing that a century-old witch called the White Wizard has already stolen much of his power, which he requests Natsu's team to recover before he loses control of his remaining magic.

Lucy Heartfilia escapes and encounters Brandish μ, who, like Lucy, is searching Guiltina for Aquarius's key. With Brandish's help, Lucy and her imprisoned friends force Diabolos into retreat. Shortly afterward, Mercphobia loses control of himself and mindlessly attacks Ermina, overwhelming Natsu's team with his power. Meanwhile, Jellal accuses Touka of being the White Wizard, but Laxus Dreyar defends her. When Fairy Tail begins to question Touka's background, the White Wizard reveals herself to be another personality within Touka and attacks Jellal, only to be suppressed by Touka, who is captured by Gajeel Redfox. While Touka is interrogated at Fairy Tail's guildhall, the White Wizard takes over again and steals the magic of everyone in the building.
Natsu is rescued from Mercphobia by Ignia, the Fire Dragon God and Igneel's biological son. Intending to strengthen Natsu for a future confrontation, Ignia coaxes Natsu into eating flames imbued with the Fire Dragon God's power and flies away. Natsu's temporary power allows him to defeat Mercphobia, but also nearly sends Natsu on a rampage until Lucy calms him down. Regaining his senses, Mercphobia survives and is rendered permanently powerless by his defeat, which fulfills part of Fairy Tail's mission. Out of gratitude, Mercphobia directs Fairy Tail to the city of Drasil to find Aldoron, the Wood Dragon God. There, the team reunites with Juvia Lockser, who has escaped from the White Wizard and warns them about her shortly before they discover the town to be built on top of the gargantuan Aldoron's right hand.

Natsu's team splits up to protect the remaining orbs and defeat their friends for Wendy Marvell to return to normal. However, the situation is complicated by the presence of Diabolos's members, who join the battle against Fairy Tail and the White Wizard's forces to eat Aldoron for themselves; one of the Dragon Eaters, a spirit named Wraith who is impervious to physical attacks, defeats Natsu and steals his soul.

Mest Gryder destroys the remaining orbs, but instead of losing power, Aldoron absorbs the willing townsfolk into his body and awakens at full strength. The White Wizard – who realizes that Selene, the Moon Dragon God, has deceived her about the orbs – loses her own magic and her control over the wizards, allowing Wendy to separate her from Touka.
