154: It did not change

Everyone held their breath as if nothing happened for a few seconds. However, Maria was not worried in the least. She could feel the served magic falling around her like small pieces of a puzzle and she instantly yanked the source open.

And then all of a sudden, the whole place was filled with light. High intensity, burning light that caused everyone to divert their eyes away from the source. The magic circle had lost its form and was breaking apart piece by piece now. Trisha seemed to be gaining color back as well, her magic flowing the way she wanted it to and Maria was sure to say that she had done it.

She had forced the process to stop and as a result, saved Imu from collapsing.

"Maria, how's the princess?" Kagemori asked from her position far away. She held the chimera at bay but her attention was focused on Maria and her charge. She seemed to be having trouble getting away from her attacker but Maria was sure it was intentional.
