You forgot something about Bachhus. He was killed by fodder-type dragon spawn.

That someone like Droy and Macao got killed, fine. Gray only got hit because of Juvia and Erza got overwhelmed by massive numbers, overconfidence and due to the injuries she got on the fifth day.

And Bacchus? He just lost to that fodder enemy for no apperent reason.

If it took 10+ glare-spawn and serious injury to take down Erza, why would someone who's supposed to be on par, or at least close to her level lose to just one or two of them?
