As God Serena displayed in this chapter, he is indeed powerful. Probably the strongest (if not, second strongest) dragon slayer. A powerful Dragon slayer like him getting one-shot like that seems a waste. He happens to be one of the only forces that could fight against Acnologia too. That being said, he's definitely not down for the count, there is still a lot we need to learn about him and his betrayal.
