In this short scene, we learn that the battle for elie's life has begun, and that the old lady is now in charge of it. The old lady tells us that she's sorry, but that her friend cannot win. She says that the future can't be changed, but she doesn't worry about haru, because he's his own man, and he'll take charge of the future. She also says that she can block him with her pinky finger, and she can even send him back with a high-speed chain explosion. She's an elemental master, so she knows how to use her powers. She compares the explosion to a hummingbird's flapping wings, and says that even a master of the sword has to bow to the "power of magic" . In other words, she says, even a sword-sniper like haru has no chance against him. He's so powerful that he can cut through elie with his sword, but he can still use his other powers when he needs to.
