To add to my previous comments, with this chapter Hiro Mashima has finally destroyed any possibility to create tension in scenes with Erza and made it damn hard to create any tension at all in the entire manga.

If Erza can do this with just a single arm, there is literally nothing that can ever defeat her.

The only possible tension he can create now is by taking other characters, isolate them and pit them against enemies...

But since he already similarly ruined Natsu and Gray (though not necessarily to the same degree) and Wendy has just become totally overpowered in her own way, that only really leaves Lucy out of the main cast... and as much as I like Lucy, I can't imagine her carrying the entire series by herself, especially with the way Mashima tends to sideline her.
