Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover: Male Reader x Erza Scarlet

Chapter 22

A/N: WELL BEND ME OVER AND FUCK ME SIDEWAYS, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED WHILE I WAS GONE?!?!? We reached 36.8 thousand reads!! And not only that, we reached 2nd in the #erza tag for stories!!! My mind is blown. Thank you so much! I can't say it enough. Thank you! I wouldn't be here writing if it wasn't for y'all. It makes me so happy to write something that people can enjoy. Since the chapter has been posted, you can probably guess that I'm moved into my apartment. I'll be trying to post a new chapter once over 1-2 weeks again before my parents drag me back home again from college. Another thing, I have finally stopped the vote as of now. The resulting score is Erza with 18 votes,  Lisanna with 6 votes, Lucy with 0 votes (RIP), and Levy with 2 votes. So, it is decided that Erza x Y/N will be the pairing! I won't make this instantaneous. It'll be something that happens slowly as time goes on. Enough of my rambling, thank you everyone for everything, and let's jump right into this chapter!

Side note: Did the video in chapter 20 work for everyone? Or do I need to fix it?

[Y/N's POV]

Natsu: *loudly* "Alright! We got in undetected! Time to get Erza and Happy!"

Guards: "INTRUDERS!!! GET THEM!!!"

Natus: *turns around to see a swarm of guards charging* "OH SHI--" *gets punched by Gray*

Gray: "Damnit Natsu! You gave away our position!"

Natsu: "What did you say, ice prick?!"

Gray: "You heard me, matchstick!"

Those two continued to throw insults at each other while Lucy tried to stop them. The guards broke up their argument by charging towards them. My mind went elsewhere for a bit. Of all the times for songs to be playing in my head, the one song that played now was Primo Victoria by Sabaton. The band writes all their songs about stories from a fictional world call Earth, in which multiple wars took place between nations. Honestly, it's really surprising how much story there is behind all of those songs. Anyway, Primo Victoria was about a beach invasion of another country in which thousands of soldiers died trying to advance up the beach with little to no cover. Being gunned down by the enemies made things much more difficult, along with mortar shells raining down from above. This situation kind of reminds me of the same thing. Here we are, running to combat our foe from the beach in order to take hold of the area. Hundreds of guards charging towards us while the guards that use magic cause small explosions in the area like mortars. Unknown  to myself, I started mumble singing the lyrics to the song as I start to charge straight into the fires of Hell.

Y/N: *mumble singing to self* "Through the gates of Hell, as we make our way to heaven. Through the Nazi lines, primo victoria."

As I did so, I felt my emotions leave and unconsciously went back to how I was on the Council's missions that they sent me. My mission: save Erza and Happy at all costs. The wind kicked up around me. I started to prepare my attacks. I finally finished analyzing the situation. The guards placed all the magic users in the back row. I use my windform to get by the other guards unnoticed. I then used manipulated the wind and air around each of the magic using guards to create a vacuum around them. They died quietly and unnoticed. Now that I'm behind the enemy, I can attack with the element of surprise. I decided to take out as many as I could without using up too much energy.
