Better safe than sorry, hey Tempesta nearly got defeated, they already lost Jackal, i don't think anyone would be so foolish to actually get careless. It's better to remove all of Erza's chance of countering back no matter how slim the chance is. Well this is just how i made myself view that situation anyway.
