I quite liked the chapter, though as nothing is ever absolutely perfect, there are a few nitpicks.

But let's go through it in sequence:


 * As almost everyone, except a few Anons, predicted Ajeel isn't taken down by just that. Good.
 * Nice tactics by Erza. It's been a while since we've seen her use weapons and armour from different sets.
 * Why was Erza using a water sword and then talking about a wind god sword? Shouldn't that be wind god armour, since she clearly wields only one sword and she called that one the Neptue Sword? Probably just MP messing up again... I hope.
 * Sand-world. Nice ability and power there Ajeel. And he uses it for to full effect, with him flitting around, doding and attacking from blind angles too. Very nice indeed.
 * So Gajeel thinks his nose will be any good in a sandstorm? A storm that'll blow all the smells away? And with the sand probably clogging up your nose? I think not.
 * I could have done without Juvia crying out for "Gray-sama" -_- She's become so annoying.
 * Hayfever? Was it ever mentioned before that Evergreen is allergic to pollen? Quite an ironic turn of events considering her name if true. ^^
 * Now THIS kind of thing is why you don't bring your kids to the continental battle mister and missus Connell! What if that storm had the moisture-dispersing ability attached to it, instead of just getting into her eyes?
 * Oh a bit of psychologial battle with talking about the fear of the opponent, instead of the usual explaining of the technique! I like that.
 * Ah, the usual "villain is too arrogant for a quick kill and needs to monologue/humiliate/gloat/get the opponent to admit defeat. So cliché, but still fitting for Ajeel.
 * Nice Axe that Ajeel had there... too bad we didn't get a chance to see what it can do (other than cutting of course).
 * It took a direct hit from Jupiter to finish off our first Spriggan! Great! :D
 * Since many talked about how Erza tanked this Jupiter shot along with Ajeel: Right before he was hit, he looked back over his shoulder, so Ajeel took the brunt of the attack and thus must have been hurt a lot more than Erza by it.
 * And as almost everyone predicted Ajeel was the first Spriggan to go down. ^^
 * Nakagami for the finishing blow? Also nice. To need this to finish Ajeel off after taking a direct Jupiter hit makes sure he doesn't appear like a glass-cannon.
