Marie's True Power

Chapter 46: Marie’s True Power
  Marie was chasing after Landred. Even though he should have been quite old, Landred was so fast that Marie couldn’t catch up. Still, she could tell he was breathing heavily, so she kept her distance, suspecting he might be up to something.
 
  “Hu……Huff…… I-If I get this far, I should be alright……”
 
  Suddenly, Landred stopped.
 
  “Y-You…… Huff…… Brat…… You’ll regret chasing after me……”
 
  Landred said, gasping for breath.
 
  “Regret……?”
 
  Marie sensed a change in the surrounding atmosphere. Monsters were gathering around them.
 
  “Monsters here? And this many……?”
 
  “Ahahaha! With Lunatel-sama’s blessing, I’ve been granted the Monster Attraction Curse! I won’t be attacked, but what about you!?”
 
  Marie looked around to see dozens of monsters surrounding them.
 
  “Hmm. This looks like it’ll be a bit of a hassle.”
 
  “What do you mean, a hassle!? Be torn to shreds by the monsters!!”
 
  With that, Landred ran through the midst of the monsters. The monsters ignored him completely and headed straight for Marie. Marie smirked and pulled the magic sword Meteor from subspace.
 
  “There are no residents around here, so I can go all out.”
 
  Saying that, she swung Meteor down, sending monsters flying with the impact. Smaller monsters were killed instantly, but many got back up and charged at Marie.
 
  Marie swung Meteor, punched, and kicked at the oncoming monsters, annihilating them while laughing maniacally. Usually, she severely restricted her magic power output to avoid causing collateral damage. However, with no need to hold back, she unleashed her magic, her red eyes gleaming, her red hair swirling, and her giant hammer whirling. She was truly an oni, a demon. The person who gave her her second name said so. Hence, Crimson Hammer Oni.
 
  “Wha……?!”
 
  Landred’s eyes widened, and he collapsed at the sight of the carnage before him. He could tell from the color in her eyes and hair that she was a considerable magic user. However, he couldn’t understand why she was fighting with such joy. She was beyond extraordinary.
 
  “Oh? That was the last one, and it’s already dead.”
 
  Marie tossed aside the lump of flesh that was once a monster.
 
  “Now then, I don’t want to k*ll a human, so how about you come quietly?”
 
  Marie reached out to Landred, who had fainted and fallen to the ground.
 
  “H-Help me~!!”
 
  Landred screamed in terror. And as if in response to his cry, a Cyclops, a one-eyed monster the size of a three-story building, emerged from the ground.
 
  “Do Cyclops live underground?”
 
  Marie said, looking up at the Cyclops. The Cyclops reached out to grab her. Marie kicked its arm and distanced herself.
 
  “With this giant body, it should be fine even if I absorb all of its magic.”
 
  Saying that, she held Meteor high. Meteor absorbed the magic power supplied by Marie, and the flame-shaped head grew larger and larger.
 
  “Oh…… Oh……”
 
  Landred felt fear at the rising magic power, and everything that could come out of his orifices did.
 
  The Cyclops tried to grab Marie again. Marie lightly tapped it with Meteor, sending it flying into the air. Then, she tapped it again as it fell, sending it flying once more. As it fell a third time, she swung Meteor with full force, launching the Cyclops high into the sky. The launched Cyclops flew high and then fell. As it fell, flames erupted from its body, burning it to ashes before it even reached the ground.
 
  “Haa~. I feel refreshed after releasing all that pent-up magic. I really need to let it out regularly.”
 
  After confirming that no more monsters were appearing, she stored Meteor back into subspace. Then, she went over to Landred and grimaced.
 
  “Ugh…… He fainted after letting everything out…… Do I have to take this back with me?”
 
  Looking at Landred, covered in filth, Marie agonized over how to take him back.
