Good chapter indeed and I'm also looking forward to seeing a good fight next chapter but i have my doubts. While its good to see Lucy getting her moment to shine without outside intererence I doubt she can do actual damage to the demons. Jackal have taken a lot of damage from Natsu before actually being defeated not counting he still have his Demon form. We don't know anything about Torafusa except that he can hold his own against Loke without any aparent curse and Lamy, well, she have taken Sayla's attack and still seen to be okay.

Using three spirits at the same time while already tired of fighting Franmalth will probably make Lucy pass out soon so her spirits have little time to do the job as they will probably return to the spirit realm. I don't think she has the power to cast Uranio Metria which would be her best move at the moment. Maybe Aquarius have some special power that she still haven't showed or maybe her other spirits will leave the spirit realm on their own to protect their master. Or maybe the spirit king will transport Yukino and Sabertooth through the spirit realm to help Lucy. Doranbolt showing up with reinforcement's would be the best out come to me as I'm still convited the he is the only one that should be allowed to defeat Jackal.

The point to me is even thought this is Lucy's moment, the odds are totally against her and her currently summons may not be enough to take down two 9DG, so it's completelly aceptable that she gets some help this time. I'm not hating on her, I'm just saying that Hiro may be going a bit too far on putting her against such strong opponents on her currently state and defating both of them even if sacrifcing herself in the process. Showing her resolve to save her friends is enough to me because being badass isn't always about winning. Can't wait to see the next chapter.
