Well the downgrading might be a bit extreme but saying that he has no purpose aside from Erza might be too extreme. That being said, we probably won't see Crime Sorcière in the story anymore until the final arc. The next few arcs will most probably focus on Team Natsu and FT. Well maybe an arc for the new characters introduce in this arc.
