"Why are the monsters aggressive to you?" asked Marie.

Aside from that, she also wanted to ask why Vivian doesn't offer a small prayer after killing a monster but figured that maybe she just says a single-sentence prayer inside her head right after killing one.

A cold shiver ran down Vivian's spine.

Shit...!

I forgot about this...!

What do I tell her...?!

Her brain went on overdrive and a thousand scenarios ran inside her head.

"If you don't want to tell me, I don't mind," said Marie, interrupting Vivian's thoughts.

"No, I don't mind telling you. After all, you've been a big help... The truth is... I have a Lore Magic that attracts monsters to me. This is why I avoid traveling with other people because I don't want them to get hurt because of me."

Like hell you don't mind...!

"You have Lore Magic?!"

Vivian was startled by Marie's reaction and subconsciously took a step back.

Marie quickly cleared her throat and stood up straight.

"My apologies, sister. It's just that I've only met a handful of people who have Lore Magic with magical effects."

"I... I see..."

"What's the name of the skill and how much mana does it cost to activate?"

"The name? It's called [Nemesis of Beasts]. It's something like a passive skill because it doesn't require any mana and I can't even turn it off if I want to."

"Does it also affect intelligent monsters?"

"I don't know. I've never tried it."

"Does this mean you weren't born with it and learned it? How did you learn it?"

What the fuck is wrong with this bitch...?!

Why is she asking so many questions...?!

Can't she just mind her own business...?!

"Yeah, I wasn't born with it. As for how I learned it, I'm not sure. I just woke up one day and learned it."

"Well, they did say that Lore Magic solely depends on the will of the gods," said Marie and paused for a moment to think. "And I can see how that Lore Magic of yours can be a good thing but also a bad thing. Although it's a great spell for hunting monsters, it can be a problem if you encounter a powerful monster."

"That's actually one of my main concerns, to be honest... Which is why I don't travel with people..."

"But sister, maybe there's a good reason why the Gods gave you that Lore Magic. And if you inform the higher-ups in the Temple of Priests, maybe they can think about something for your situation."

Vivian raised an eyebrow.

"But is that the smartest thing to do? I mean, what if they use me for something dangerous? Although I attract monsters, the monsters inside the city don't seem to be aggressive to me, they just avoid me."

"Oh... Now that you mentioned that, I'm not sure anymore."

Vivian went over to Marie and grabbed her hands.

"Sister Marie, promise me you won't tell anyone!" he said with a pleading voice as if she was about to break into tears. "Once I'm strong enough like you, I promise to tell the Temple about this!"
