Chapter 524 Predictions/Spoilers
Acnologia's return is a welcome twist on the story on Reddit. But his arrival opens up a lot of question especially his final words in the chapter. His remarks "Black Magician" may refer to August who also remarked that they ran out of time.
Could August and the rest of Spriggan 12 made separate arrangements to Acnologia? It's possible but August's remarks could mean that Spriggan 12 and Zeref has an agreement with Acnologia.
Zeref might not be the real villain but Acnologia because of his immense power and capability to destroy everything. But the future chapter will not only focus on Zeref and Natsu as Erza will once again face a formidable enemy.
