Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Chapter 216, titled “Verdure,” gives Wendy Marvell a major new power after her meeting with Aldoron.
The Wood Dragon God has not suddenly become humanity’s ally. Instead, Aldoron decides that stopping Ignia matters more than his hatred of humans. He passes part of his remaining nature magic to Wendy, creating a new dual-element Dragon Slayer form.
Elsewhere, Misfortune carries Natsu toward Ignia but cannot survive the Dragon God’s intense flames.

What Happens in Fairy Tail Chapter 216?
Chapter 216 follows Wendy and Carla as they reach Aldoron’s core.
A humanoid figure grows from the surrounding roots and reveals itself as a remaining manifestation of Aldoron. Wendy initially expects another fight, but Aldoron has a different reason for appearing.
Ignia used the Wood Dragon God as part of the True Dragon King Festival. Aldoron has no interest in letting the Fire Dragon God control his power or decide his future.
He offers Wendy a way to fight back.
Aldoron Refuses to Become Humanity’s Friend
Aldoron has not changed his opinion of humans.
He still considers dragons superior and has no interest in joining Fairy Tail’s side because he suddenly believes in friendship. His decision comes from anger toward Ignia.
Ignia revived and used the defeated Dragon Gods as pieces in his plan to restore the Age of Dragons. Aldoron refuses to accept being treated as another tool.
Ignia also wants to create a world ruled by dragons at humanity’s expense. Aldoron does not share that goal, even though he has previously treated humans as little more than food.
His reasoning is selfish but consistent. He would rather help Wendy stop Ignia than allow another Dragon God to control him.
Wendy Consumes Aldoron’s Nature Magic
Aldoron creates vegetation containing part of his remaining power.
Wendy eats the plants and fruit, consuming the nature magic stored inside them. The process resembles how other Dragon Slayers have gained additional elements by eating or receiving another Dragon Slayer’s power.
Wendy already controls Sky Dragon Slayer Magic. Aldoron’s gift adds a second element connected to plants, nature, and the earth.
Her appearance changes as the two powers combine.
Carla watches as Wendy enters a new form known as the Sky-Verdure Dragon.
What Is Wendy’s Sky-Verdure Dragon Form?
Sky-Verdure Dragon is Wendy’s first true dual-element Dragon Slayer form.
Other Dragon Slayers have previously combined multiple elements:
- Natsu uses Flame Lightning Dragon Mode.
- Gajeel uses Iron Shadow Dragon Mode.
- Sting and Rogue have shared light and shadow powers.
- Wendy can now combine sky and verdure magic.
The word “verdure” refers to lush green plant life. That matches Aldoron’s control over forests, roots, growth, and natural energy.
Wendy’s transformed appearance includes plant and flower details alongside features associated with her existing Dragon Force.
The chapter does not fully explain every ability included with the new form. However, it should increase both her magical output and her connection to Aldoron’s root network.
Can Wendy Spread Dragon Slayer Magic Across the Roots?
Wendy’s original mission was to reach Aldoron’s core and use its roots to help the other fighters.
Selene instructed her to spread a Dragon Slayer enchantment through the network. That would give Fairy Tail’s scattered teams a better chance against the revived Dragon Gods and Calamity Bloods.
Aldoron’s power gives Wendy the connection and magical strength she needs to attempt that large-scale enchantment.
The Sky-Verdure Dragon form may allow her magic to travel through the roots across a much larger area than she could normally reach.
Chapter 216 establishes the power-up, but the full effect of Wendy’s enchantment should become clearer in the next chapter.
Does Aldoron Die in Chapter 216?
Aldoron appears to disappear after passing his remaining power to Wendy.
His manifestation was already tied to the roots surrounding the core, and the transfer acts like his final move against Ignia.
That does not necessarily mean Aldoron has been completely erased.
Part of his magic now exists inside Wendy, much like other characters have carried the power or presence of a dragon after receiving its magic. However, the chapter does not confirm that Aldoron can communicate with Wendy or return as a separate consciousness.
His final decision is not a redemption.
Aldoron helps Wendy because he wants Ignia to lose. He remains hostile toward humans until the end, which keeps his actions consistent with his earlier characterization.
Misfortune Carries Natsu Toward Ignia
The chapter also returns to Natsu and Misfortune.
Happy could not continue flying through the extreme heat surrounding Ignia. Misfortune took over and attempted to carry Natsu the rest of the way.
Her body is made from fire, giving her more resistance than Happy. However, Ignia’s flames are far beyond ordinary Fire Magic.
Misfortune continues moving toward the Fire Dragon God because she wants to speak with him.
The closer she gets, the more her body begins breaking apart.
Does Misfortune Die in Chapter 216?
Misfortune is consumed by the flames surrounding Ignia.
Her body vanishes while carrying Natsu, making it appear that Ignia’s fire has destroyed her. Ignia does not directly attack her. She simply travels too close to flames powerful enough to overwhelm her own fire-based body.
Her death is not fully confirmed.
Misfortune has an unusual, partially intangible form made from fire, so she may be capable of recovering or reforming. Fairy Tail has also brought characters back from similarly uncertain situations.
For now, her condition should be listed as unknown rather than definitively dead.
Natsu Finally Reaches Ignia
Misfortune’s sacrifice allows Natsu to reach Ignia.
Natsu has spent much of the arc trying to confront his adopted brother, but their previous exchanges showed how large the difference between them remains.
Ignia defeated Natsu easily during their earlier encounter. Since then, the Fire Dragon God has activated the True Dragon King Festival and restored several defeated dragons as part of his plan.
Natsu now stands before him without Happy or Misfortune carrying him.
Chapter 216 ends by returning the focus to their long-awaited confrontation.
When Does Fairy Tail Chapter 217 Release?
Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Chapter 217 is scheduled to release in English on Tuesday, August 4, 2026.
The Japanese release should follow on Wednesday, August 5.
The manga follows a biweekly schedule through K MANGA. No break has been announced between Chapters 216 and 217.
Chapter 217’s title has not been revealed.
Where to Read Fairy Tail Chapter 216
Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Chapter 216 is available officially through K MANGA.
The official translation confirms the chapter title as “Verdure.”
What to Expect From Fairy Tail Chapter 217
Chapter 217 could show Wendy using her new Sky-Verdure Dragon power to enchant Fairy Tail’s other teams.
That would affect several ongoing battles, including Lucy’s fight against Earth Build and the clashes involving Erza, Gray, Juvia, Mirajane, Laxus, and their allies.
The chapter may also continue Natsu’s confrontation with Ignia.
Natsu has reached his target, but nothing in Chapter 216 suggests he can match Ignia’s full strength yet. Wendy’s large-scale enchantment could provide the boost he and the other Dragon Slayers need.
Misfortune’s condition may also receive clarification, although the story could leave her fate unresolved while focusing on the larger battles.
Final Thoughts
Fairy Tail Chapter 216 gives Wendy one of her biggest power-ups in the sequel.
Aldoron does not help because he forgives humanity. He helps because Ignia used him and intends to build a world that serves his own vision.
Wendy consumes Aldoron’s nature magic and becomes the Sky-Verdure Dragon, giving her the power needed to spread her enchantments through the Wood Dragon God’s roots.
Natsu also reaches Ignia, but Misfortune disappears in the flames while helping him get there.
