This is easily the best chapter of Fairy Tail since chapter 301.

Chapters 302-355 = Pathetic

Hopefully Mashima has finally stopped the friendship trolling and the forced fanservice.

Very Enjoyable chapter. Although they could've done a better job with the character design of the 9 gate demons.
It's obvious they been scratched from existing chars;
4 Arm dude = Elfman
Girl with horns = Lucy's Ram Key "Aries"
Silver = Gildarts
Kyouka = Mirajane's Demon form
Jackal = Cat lady friend of Erza
Lizard head = Elfman Lizard form

As for the other 2 clowns, classically, the wierdest looking are the most savage.

I think she looks more like Ultear.

that seemed contradicting to myself as well. a demon that knows demon slaying magic whats the point of a demon slaying other demons. its basically telling us now that magics are passed down from demons and dragons for a means to an end.
Actually it isn't that weird and it might just be the perspective on the name of the magic. Dragon slaying magic came from dragons and apparently demon slaying magic from demons. At first that might appear contradictory, but if you look it from another perspective, it's actually quite logical: if most magic doesn't not work against a dragon or demon, how are you going to beat them? Let another dragon/demon beat them. It's the principle of fighting poison with poison. So if humans can't beat a dragon with their magic, but a dragon can beat a dragon with his magic, rationally speaking if a human learned that magic, he should be able to beat a dragon too. From a human perspective that would be 'dragon slaying magic', but from a dragon it's a bit weird to see it like that. At the very beginning of the series Happy also explained that Natsu's magic transformed his body into a similar constitution of that of a dragon. This is also implied with Acnologia who became a dragon while originally being a human, though that was (partially) explained by him bathing in dragonblood.

Same explanation can be applied to demon slaying magic.

Putting that aside Silver seems to be the 'odd on out'.

Well, I like the design of them all and the main claw girl with horns is really really epically looking.

Anywho, a question came to my mind: Zeref suppsoedly cancelled everything, hid his books and his magic and hid himself away from the world long time ago. So in theory he wasn't the one to create these demons which make up the nine demon gates. So, here lies the big question: who summoned/conjured/made them from the books of Zeref, assuming that Zeref himself wasn't the one? Also, what have they been doing so far? It seems they were "inactive" for the most part...

End probably. I can't recall that it was said that Zeref 'cleaned' everything he created. That people have his books, proves that even assuming he tried to clean everything, some things survived (this might include Deliora and Lullaby). Igneel failed at defeating End, so he might have just made the other demons.

On another note I don't know if it the translator intentionally translated it like that, but I laughed at the "with great power comes a desire to show it off" quote xd a seemingly parody on the famous "with great power comes a great responsibility" quote from Spiderman I think it was.

Spiderman and Superman I think. Still its if memory serves me right, a saying that dates back to ancient greek phylosophy. Still, I assumed it was a miss translation. Lol Perhaps it was intentional.

Hum...true if END survived he might have conjured the rest. One question: a Demon is a magic right? Soo...When they are killed, they simply disappear....but can they be created again? I mean...its a bit weird the concept that demons themselves are created out of magic alone. In all or almost all other universes, Demons are summoned or conjured from the netherworld or the underworld or hell or wtv. They exist and are brought into the normal world. They are entities, livning (to a sense) same as humans and the rest. Here thy make it seem a demon is simply a magic spell...I find it weird though...
