Acnologia killing anyone else bar Zeref seems unlikely to me at this point. We all know that Mashima wants a happy end for the story, so we already know that Natsu and Lucy will survive. Mashima would never kill a loli, so Wendy in not getting killed. Gajeel has Levy so Mashima won't kill him. Sting and Rogue are both of them important in Sabertooth and they both had enough screen time to be considered safe. Laxus is the next Guildmaster so him dying is a big no. Cobra isn't that important but he won't die before he meets Kinana. Other possible characers that Mashima might kill are Makarov and Gildarts IMO, since they are father figures and we all know what being a father in Mashima's manga means.
