Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for "Fairy Tail" Chapter 518. Proceed if you wish to know more.
In chapter 517, Irene was surprised that Wendy actually mastered the enchantment magic which allowed the young Fairy Tail member to knock her off her body. Some fans are now questioning the strength of Irene little Wendy managed to drive her out from her body with just one blow.
Fans over at Tripped Media recalled how Irene was able to impress the main "Fairy Tail" villain Acnologia when she faced her in a previous encounter. The Scarlet Despair also proved her prowess in more than one instance and she even changed the structure of the whole Earthland with her Universe One magic.
Questions were even more raised when Wendy, the child dragon slayer, was able to perform the enchantment magic without proper knowledge of it, while Irene who has been studying it for years has not even mastered the spell. With what recently happened, speculations are now being raised that Erza may be able to damage her mother significantly.
But looking on another angle, it can also be possible that Irene is faking her defeat from Wendy to lure Erza. Irene's strategy could possibly be similar with how Silver had his son Gray killed him during the Tataros battle. Silver was too guilty of his crimes that he made Gray believe that Deliora was just occupying inside his body.
On the other hand, a fan from Reddit believe otherwise. One follower predicted Irene will still defeat Wendy and Erza because of centuries of experience and sheer magical ability. Despite these, two of the users claim Erza will finally defeat and kill her mother.
"Fairy Tail" Chapter 518 will not be released until Jan. 25 in the Weekly Shonen Magazine. For more spoilers and predictions, check out the video below.
