@Nick Kyouka didn't have to reveal to Erza that she needed Mira. In that case, threatening Mira's life would definitely at least scare Erza. In addition, Kyouka probably really does intend to kill them both-remember Crawford's conversation with Franmalth? According to Franmalth, Kyouka indeed intends to kill the two Mages, or at least make them lose their will completely despite what she might say to break them. As for Mashima, I never said he gets excited drawing torture scenes, and I don't believe he does, I just say that I find the way he presented the torture not well-executed and that he doesn't need to draw fanservice all the time to keep his readers.
