Chapter 235

Tenrou Woods is the two hundredth and thirty-fifth chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
The chapter starts off with the previous chapter's ending. Gildarts Clive, Freed, and Bixlow have come to Tenrou Island. Gildarts is fighting with Bluenote, and Freed and Bixlow are fighting Rustyrose.

On the other side of the island Erza is fighting Azuma. During their battle, Azuma reveals his Lost Magic: Great Tree Arc and that his ability to create explosions is part of his ability to create tress. He also says that he came to the island for only one reason: to take control over Tenrou Island and everyone in it. The tree on the island is then seen breaking in two. Erza becomes angry and asks what he did.

Erzam Doranbolt, the Rune Knights, and everyone else on the island notices the tree breaking in two. Then one moment later, everybody lies immobilized on the ground due to the draining of their Magic. Ultear is seen with Gray stating that this is Azuma's doing. The only ones who didn't get their magic sucked out by Azuma are Bluenote, Rustyrose and Urtear. Hades, meanwhile, watches safely from his airship, commenting that any chance Fairy Tail had of victory had disappeared. He then expresses his surprise that there was another person who could stop Bluenote: Gildarts.

Azuma explains that Hades knew the true nature of Tenrou Island. The great Tenrou Tree bestows divine protection to those bearing the crest of Fairy Tail. With Azuma having taken the tree down, that protection is now lost and Fairy Tail will be eradicated. He then tells Erza that she is the only one left who can save Fairy Tail and asks her to show him her true power.
