Bab 41: Chapter 41: The Descent and Escape

"Do you want to talk to me?" Isabella first looked at Elias with confusion, then a subtle smile crept onto her face. 

"Elias, don't treat me like your naive little sis,Luna. I know what you're up to."

Isabella's grip on Elias's wrist tightened, as if afraid he might try to escape. 

"Trying to buy time? Hoping for a lucky break like last time?" she said with a laugh. "But here, it's just us. This time, there won't be anyone dropping from the sky to save you."

Elias smiled faintly, "If that's the case, what is professor afraid of?"

"Afraid?" Isabella scoffed. "That word doesn't apply to me."

She glanced at the blood magic circle on the floor and then at Elias, as if he was challenging her. 

"Talk then. I'm curious to see what tricks you can pull off now."
