Tenrou Tree is the 113th episode of the Fairy Tail anime.

With the return of Gildarts Clive, Freed Justine, and Bickslow, Fairy Tail gains the upper hand in their battles. Meanwhile, Erza Scarlet starts her battle with Azuma.

Summary

Freed and Bickslow challenge Rustyrose

Gildarts orders Natsu, Lucy, Wendy, Cana, Happy and Carla to leave as he begins his battle against Bluenote. As their battle progresses, the terrain is destroyed because of their massive Magic Power. At camp, Rustyrose attacks Levy, Lisanna and Panther Lily when suddenly, Freed and Bickslow arrive to intercept his attack and take over the battle where they gain the upper hand.

While Freed and Bickslow are fighting Rustyrose, Gray is still having a hard time processing the fact that Ultear bears no grudge against him. Though Ultear admits that their guilds are sworn enemies, she mentions that there is more to life than guilds. She adds that Ur lives on in both of them, since they were taught under her guidance.

	Erza battling Azuma

Elsewhere, in Erza and Azuma's battle, Azuma forces the Tenrou Tree out of the land, causing it to crumble to the ground. This results in the Fairies all over the island, except Erza, losing their Magic as it is this tree that supplies Magic and provides protection to all those bearing the mark of Fairy Tail. This puts Gildarts, Freed and Bickslow at a huge disadvantage against their opponents.

With everyone at death's door, Azuma challenges Erza, the only one left with Magic, to defeat him in order to save everyone's lives.
