Black darkness and black light?
As for the fight, I am kinda surprised it wasn't even more one sided. When natsu fought zancrow the bottom line was that zancrow had the superior flame and thus could eat anything natsu could throw at him. In this case wendy's attacks were actually able to hurt shelia rather than being eaten by her which makes for a huge difference. Maybe the situation with natsu and zancrow was just a difference in skill and between more even opponents the GS magic is not actually superior to DS magic but rather they are actually even but merely work better against different creatures.
Now, what I wonder is why exactly wendy does not heal as she fights. Shelia clearly has the ability to do so so why is wendy having those problems? Does that have something to do with milky way magic? Or maybe she simply hasn't mastered the whole eating air thing yet? It would be interesting for her to master this, she would be able to theoretically heal people non stop. Such a thing would have made a huge difference back in the grimmoire heart arc for example. Now, the issue wendy and theoretically shelia would have here is that to actually finish the slayer with sky magic is that they would need to one shot the enemy otherwise the simply heal and have to start over. Of course, the implication of this is that the wind slayer is objectively better than any other slayer since their element is always there to heal them and power their attacks(perhaps other elements can simply burn the air around her but still...). To win this fight wendy needs to be able to eat the sky. Maybe once she is able to eat the air around her she will be able to muster the power to use her other magic and defeat shelia.
The last part was exceptionally interesting. With this we have evidence to suggest god slayer magic is somehow related to zeref's magic. Now, does this imply zeref is using god slayer magic hence the similarity with shelia's? Of course, gerard did not actually get the same feeling from orga's magic.... But perhaps wind magic is in itself special. If I recall everyone felt something special about wendy's magic when she first appeared. Now, the other issue here is that so far it would seem as if zeref is the DS of acknologia. So where exactly do creatures that are called gods come in here?
The whole thing got me thinking once again about the tartarus guild. In mythology, tartarus was a prison for the titans. I can't help but feeling this guild will be related to the god slayers and perhaps actually have something to do with an actual god.

Dunno is that actually makes sense lol. It doesn't even seem like they use a similar magic. I mean, zeref just seemed to eat away life around him, shelia and wendy merely manipulate the wind and the sky. Its in principle different.
What if zeref is both, a GS and a DS? Just a thought and such a thing would allow him to use stuff similar to when natsu ate zancrow's fire.
