While I think Erza will win, I think Kyouka will survive, I have been saying for a while, I think Kyouka destiny is to be betrayed and killed by someone like Made Guille or even E.N.D. to make an example and show how evil they are. This chapter further cements that, her bond with Sayla, which as far as Made Guille is concerned is human like behavior and a sign of weakness, so Kyouka will pay for her weakness.
