"Wait!" Selene's voice snapped out.
Her hand shot forward as if she could drag him back by force.
But the space where Gray had been twisted, his body flickering out of sight in an instant.
Selene's eyes widened for only a fraction of a second before narrowing coldly, grinding her teeth tightly.
"…Idiot."
An imp shrieked, lunging at her exposed side, claws dripping with venom.
FWSSHH!
Pivoting, she gutted the creature, her dagger finishing the kill before its body even hit the ground.
Blood splattered across her cheek, but her gaze didn't flinch.
Selene tilted her head upward and noticed that the circle of imps had already begun to glow brighter, their shrieks combining into an eerie chant.
She clenched her dagger, muttering under her breath-
"If you die doing something this stupid, I swear I'll drag you back just to kill you myself."
Above, Gray reappeared inside the swirling formation.
[What the actual fuck are you doing?!]
