The protecting her part was painfully obvious, kind of got that already.
Considering Erza won by catching him in a moment of distraction, being out of magic shouldn't be that likely. At best there's physical exhaustion, but when has that ever stopped someone in this series from pushing the envelope? Seems like it wouldn't have been that much harder to pull an Ultear and just vanish. But worked for the symbolism of Cobra finally getting the value of friendship, so not the worst way they could have handled it.
