Erza continued watching the demon as countless possibilities passed through her mind.
"If what I'm sensing is truly connected to what I think it is..."
Her violet eyes narrowed.
"...then this war may eventually become a war between worlds."
Sara's expression immediately changed.
A war between worlds?
Until this moment, she had believed the demonic conflict was already approaching its worst possible stage. Humanity had spent years fighting creatures capable of destroying cities, infiltrating governments, kidnapping civilians, and performing rituals whose purposes remained unknown. Yet Erza had looked at all of that as insignificant.
Now, for the first time, the Dragon Queen sounded genuinely concerned.
"A war between two worlds...?" Sara asked carefully. "What exactly does that mean, My Queen?"
Erza didn't answer immediately. Her violet eyes remained fixed on the demon sitting beyond the observation glass while she considered everything she had sensed.
"No."
Sara paused.
