A faint smile slowly appeared on Erza's beautiful face as she watched Raven and the remaining members of the Shadow Unit charge toward her without the slightest hesitation.
There wasn't any anger within those violet eyes anymore. Instead, she almost found their determination amusing.
She had already shown them the overwhelming difference between them, yet they still believed their insignificant strength could reach her.
To Erza, such courage wasn't admirable.
It was nothing more than blind foolishness born from ignorance.
"...Then let us end this once and for all."
High above the battlefield, Raven glided through the air like a shadow.
The surviving members of the Shadow Unit followed closely behind, surrounding Erza from every direction with flawless coordination.
Every assassin silently drew their weapons, prepared to sacrifice their lives if it meant protecting humanity. They understood this battle could never be won, yet none of them hesitated.
