Marie is confronting Griselda, who has transformed into a mud giant, in the skies above the Capital City.
Griselda possesses magical talents.
Magic Transmutation. Due to this special spell formula, none of Marie’s magical attacks work on her.
ㅤ
『Orolororooooooon!!!!!』
ㅤ
Splash! A wave of mud surges towards Marie.
Marie. . . . . . doesn’t move from her spot.
ㅤ
『What are you doing? You’ll die!』
“It’s fine because. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Pop! The mud is deflected away.
ㅤ
『Why?!』
“It has arrived.”
ㅤ
Before Marie appears a beautiful Fenrir.
Martha is surprised by the red-furred Fenrir.
ㅤ
『Fenrir?! Why it’s here, all of a sudden?!』
“He’s my chef.”
『That pup?!』
It seems the citizens of the Capital City have been successfully evacuated, as Kaito rushes to provide backup.
Marie strokes Kaito’s cheek, and he purrs contentedly.
ㅤ
『Taming a Fenrir. . . . . . that’s pretty insane. . . . . .』
“Kaito. Deflect the mud attacks like you did earlier. Can you?”
ㅤ
Kaito nods firmly.
The mud giant once again generates a mud tsunami and attacks.
But Kaito carries Marie on his back.
And then. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Awooooooon!”
ㅤ
A roar that shakes the atmosphere.
The mass of air dispels the mud tsunami generated by the mud giant.
ㅤ
『What?! The mud was dispelled again?! How can this be, when magic shouldn’t work?!』
ㅤ
Ignoring a surprised Martha, Marie steadily proceeds with her preparation.
She says while holding her wand.
ㅤ
“Kaito’s roar isn’t a magical attack. He simply screamed, releasing a mass of air that physically repelled the mud.”
ㅤ
Defenses made of magic get canceled upon touching the mud.
That’s why the mud was physically deflected.
ㅤ
『I, I see. . . . . .』
“If you try to solve everything with magic, you’re second-rate.”
『Grr, aaaargh! That’s infuriating!』
ㅤ
Martha has lost to Marie in magical combat. Because it has been confirmed that Marie is superior as a magician, Martha couldn’t retort.
ㅤ
“Anyway, are you doing your job properly?”
『Of course I am! I haven’t let any demonic insects get close! What about you?! You’re just standing there doing nothing, aren’t you?!』
ㅤ
“Hmph.”
Marie makes a slightly mocking expression, making Martha even angrier.
ㅤ
『What is it now?!』
“Just as I thought, you’re second-rate.”
ㅤ
The mud giant next smashes its massive arms into the ground.
The cobblestones shatter, and fragments fly towards Marie and the others.
ㅤ
“Kaito, dodge it.”
ㅤ
Kaito carries Marie on his back and gracefully dodges the debris.
He jumps over the cobblestones to avoid them.
ㅤ
『So, what exactly are you doing?』
“You’ll see soon. . . . . .Alright, it’s complete. Kaito! Take me above the mud giant’s head.”
ㅤ
Kaito nods, strongly kicks off the cobblestones, and leaps high into the sky.
Marie stands on top of Kaito, holding her wand at the ready.
ㅤ
『Magic?! No, it won’t work!』
“You’re wrong.”
ㅤ
As Marie readies her wand, a massive Magic Circle appears above the mud giant’s head.
Then. . . . . . Marie quickly releases her wand.
The wand pierces through the Magic Circle above and. . . . . .
ZIIIIIING!
ㅤ
“The Magic Circle shattered?! Did she destroy the spell?!”
“50 points. To be precise, I neutralized the spell.”
ㅤ
Inside the wand, she had drawn a spell to destroy Griselda’s magic.
By thrusting the wand, she neutralized the opponent’s magic.
ㅤ
“Ah, I see! Yep, yep! Makes sense!”
ㅤ
Martha says, flustered. She clearly didn’t understand.
ㅤ
“This ends it.”
“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
ㅤ
The mud constituting the giant all at once lunges at Marie.
But Marie calmly activates her magic.
ㅤ
『Ah, right! Now that the spell converting the enemy’s magic is deactivated, your magic will work!』
“Exactly. Major Dispel!”
ㅤ
In an instant, the filthy mud forming the giant disappears completely.
All that remains is a naked Griselda, appearing in mid-air.
Marie softly catches her as she falls and takes a blanket from another dimension to cover her sister’s body.
Marie sighs with relief.
ㅤ
“With that, the matter is settled.”
