Spoiler for If you really want to know:

Natsu, having won the fight, collapsed from exhaustion. The crystal tower, heavily damaged from the fight, became unstable and started to leak the energy stored from Etherion. It was only a matter of time before a catastrophic explosion occur. Erza, realizing that there was no way to defend or escape from the imminent explosion, decided that there was only one thing left she can do: that was to merge with the crystal tower to control the magical energy from within. She placed her hand on the wall of the tower and was slowly being absorbed inside. At this point, Natsu regained consciousness. After some parting words to him, Erza threw herself into the tower. The magical energy spiralled upwards towards the sky and dissipated.

Spoiler for ch99:

Spoiler for second warning:

Ye i just checked the raws myself even though i don't understand a bit. This is reeeally bad, Mashima's not going to let my favorite FT character disappear just like that is he? Will i even bother reading it any further if there's no hope for her reappearance? Well, we better not jump to conclusions. Anyway Mashima better pull off a nice and happy ch100.
