Episode 173

Battle of Dragon Slayers is the 173rd episode of the Fairy Tail anime.
The fourth day of the X791 Grand Magic Games continues with the second tag battle of the day: Lamia Scale against Mermaid Heel. Both sides struggle to win, only for the battle to end in a draw, leading to the beginning of the last match between Fairy Tail and Sabertooth's Dragon Slayers.
==Summary==
Lucy awakens to Wendy and Carla, who tell her what is going on in the Games at that moment. The second battle of day four begins between Team Lamia Scale and Team Mermaid Heel. The contestants from each team arrive on the field: Lyon Vastia and Yuka Suzuki vs. Kagura Mikazuchi and Millianna. Kagura decides to let Millianna handle the two on her own while she watches from the sidelines. As the battle begins, Millianna manages to push back Lyon and Yuka by herself. However, the two Lamia Scale Mages then manage to outsmart Millianna and defeat her. 
Kagura then enters the battle herself and defeats Yuka with ease, leaving the remaining two Mages to face off one on one. They fight back and forth with neither giving an inch, though, just as Kagura is about to finish Lyon the time limit ends and the battle is declared a draw, five points being awarded to each team. The third and last battle of the Fourth Day is then announced: Team Sabertooth vs. Team Fairy Tail; the battle of between Dragon Slayers begins. However, before they can so much as move, Natsu and Gajeel rush at the Twin Dragons, punching them away. After a series of attacks, Sting and Rogue, unable to so much as lay a hand on their opposing Dragon Slayer opponents, activate White Drive and Shadow Drive.
