Well the is a huge difference in Lucy/Natsu vs Jacob and Gajeel/Levy vs Bradman.

1. Natsu and Lucy are superior mages to Gajeel and Levy.

2. Lucy had a counter towards Jacob ability while Gajeel and Levy reallyd din't especially if Bradman truly did posses all 9DG abilities. He should have made easy work of Gajeel and Levy.

3. There wasn't magical particles meant to kill mages floating around.
