Thats the problem I'm having with this arc too, Hiro isn't making their fights out long enough, so we can see more of their skills. At least it understandably why they lost: Ajeal lost because he was arrogant, and let his guard down which allowed Bisca to shot him and gave Erza her chance to beat him. God Serena lost because of Acnoliga pure, ruthless, badass self. Wahl lost because Laxus unleashed a new special Red Lighting. Dimaria lost, because Sherria further enhanced her powers through the use of the Third Origin, which gave her powers she would have in the future, and as Dimaria had the powers of a God and Sherria was a God Slayer and enhanced with the Third Origin, so its understandable.

I actually hope he makes an effort on having their battles drag out a bit longer
