Chapter 193

Those Who Live is one hundredth and ninety-third chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
Edolas Fairy Tail continues to fight the Royal Army. Elsewhere, the two Erza's continue battling. Erza Scarlet cannot believe that they are evenly matched. Erza Knightwalker comments they are far from it, and shows her counterpart the most powerful form of her weapon, the final tenth commandment, Saint Spear, Ravelt. She claims a single strike can shake the heavens themselves. Erza then re-quips a different armor, Armadura Fairy. Scarlet mentions she doesn't need to explain why the name of her guild is in the armors name. Knightwalker takes that to mean, it is her strongest armor, and the two attack in a final clash. Scarlet's armor breaks, and Knightwalker's ravlet does. The island they were fighting on starts to collapse due to the last attack's shockwave, which destroyed the buoyancy of the floating island. The two girls continue fighting on fallen pieces of the island, resorting to hand-to-hand combat. Scalet lectures Knightwalker about how their plan to sacrifice lives just to get magical power is cruel. Knightwalker states it is part of being human. Scarlet disagrees, and says humans should love one another instead. Knightwalker declares they need magic to live, but Erza tries to show her she doesn't. Scarlet points out that neither of them have magic right now, but they both live. Scarlet them goes into her counterpart's face and shouts that if she has the same malicious weakness as her, she must also have the same heart that is capable of loving, and tp respond to those feelings. The two girls fall to the ground with the island, with Scarlet shouting to Knightwalker, that she is never alone. They both live, and neither can move. Knightwalker gives the battle to her counterpart, declaring she is no match. Scarlet declines it, stating, there is no winning or losing, since they are both Erza.

In the Royal Kingdom's palace, Pantherlily and Mystogan go to the place where the Anima was created. Mystogan tells Pantherlily that Edolas was a peaceful place until magic came into Edolas. So to restore the peace, Mystogan says he will reverse the Anima, and drain Edolas of all magic.
