'Fairy Tail' chapter 516 spoilers: Does Irene have a trick up her sleeves?

As shown in the previous chapter, Irene's husband wasn't really a nice guy. When Irene started to transform, he rejected her and she was tortured and humiliated thereafter. When her husband tried to kill her and her child, Irene finally snapped and transformed into a dragon before crushing her husband.

After hundreds of years, she met Zeref and he cured her appearance, however, she was no longer human no matter what she looked like. Irene revealed that she wanted to transfer herself into her child, Erza, but she failed. That's why she abandoned Erza. Well, Erza was actually thankful that her mother abandoned her because she found her true family in the process. So, what's next for mother and daughter?

Reports say that the title for "Fairy Tail" chapter 516 is "The Truth of Enchantment," and sources believe that Irene may reveal some secret enchantment in order to attack her daughter, and the effects of Irene's failed enchantment on Erza may also be revealed.

Interestingly, some have theorized that Irene may find herself losing the fight against Erza and Wendy. And to turn the battle back in her favor, Irene will allegedly enchant herself into Wendy. Irene's power is practically peerless, but if anyone can bring her down, it will be Erza and Wendy.

Some fans have also speculated that the enchantment Irene put on Erza before will take effect now that Erza knows about it. But instead of getting her body stolen by Irene, Erza will allegedly find a way to defeat her mother and help her become human again.

Those theories may be interesting, but it should be noted that details for the next chapter are yet to be revealed, so readers are advised to take everything with a pinch of salt.

"Fairy Tail" chapter 516 is scheduled to come out on Jan. 11 in Japan.
