The thing about magic circles was, it was extremely difficult for them to be deactivated once they get going. That was something Elysia knew fully well and that was the only reason she stood still once the circle beneath her feet did go live.
Shocked eyes met a bored grey one before a genuine smile broke free on Axia's face.
"Well, looks like you managed to achieve your purpose. Now, I hope we never have to meet each other again."
The light from the magic circle shined brightly and energy rushed toward Elysia. She reached out toward the world's consciousness but her body began to ache. She was disappearing into light before her hand reached the grey-haired man.
"I guess it's time to say goodbye. It was nice knowing you this far."
