148. Yijei(以夷制夷)
The air around the area cools down in an instant, and an ice barrier with jagged spikes rises up, blocking the passage of each other. .
The flow of enormous divine power reaching the level of a saint. It was inevitable that the monsters in the two gathering places would feel the manifestation of the hateful power and gather at the source.
And it wasn’t a coincidence that the place where the monsters met was exactly in the middle of the two rendezvous points.
“Oohhh!”
[Human! Hateful human smell!]
The enmity towards those protected by the gods has increased many times over in return for suppressing their aggression in order to invade a human city. The nature of the unbridled monster finally sprang out.
The leadership of the name no longer works. No, among the monsters crashing into the ice barrier like crazy, even the name was among them. Intelligence did not always guarantee reason.
Cerberus, several times bigger than Choco, flipped out its three pairs of eyes and collided with the ice barrier with burning spittles in its three mouths. Every time that happened, the entire earth trembled.
As the sharp icicles pierce the black dog’s body, the ice barrier melts and crumbles in the burning blood it spills. Cream watched the whole scene, hiding from a distance.
[Now!]
A situation where the view beyond the barrier is blocked. The densely rising divine power confuses even the monster’s senses. When the ice barrier finally collapsed from the attacks of both monsters.
The named Cerberus, who was carrying out sabotage by scattering fire from his mouth in all directions, flinched and stopped as he saw the monster beyond. The ogre on the other side, who had raised his fist, also lowered his hand shyly.
Even if they were extremely excited by the taste of a human being, at least the intelligence they possessed recognized that the other person was not a hateful person and put the brakes on their actions.
The moment when the unrestrained anger subsides and the monsters look puzzled at each other after realizing that they are comrades who share the same purpose, even though the gathering place is different.
Cream, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, reached out his hand again. However, her second manifestation of faith did not come from her fingertips.
The one that has absolutely nothing to do with where the cream is hidden. More precisely, the air behind the monsters confronting each other over the broken ice barrier froze and sharp ice spears soared.
A high-class skill of faith that transcends the limits of divine power derived from stigmata, transforms space, and causes miracles to occur at the desired location. This was proof that she had left the hierarchy of her divine power and that her ability to control her had also reached a high level.
“What!”
[Kyaaa!]
At the murderous divine power felt in the back of their heads, the names looked back with pride. However, it wasn’t them that the frosty spear was aiming for in the first place.
The spear created by the ogre flew towards Cerberus, and the spear created by Cerberus flew towards the ogre. The blue trails intersected, and the two captains were slow to react as they were defending their rear.
A spear fired at the ogre only nicked its hump, but a spear fired at Cerberus pierced the uvula of one of its three heads.
[Gaaa!]
In the next moment, an incomparably more desperate and terrifying scream resounded throughout the forest.
Instead of having stigmata of darkness, general names that have acquired intelligence through their own lives have much stronger ferocity and ferocity than monsters. In terms of combat power, of course, that’s an advantage.
Instincts that you can’t control, that you don’t even think to control, sometimes become poison.
[Guaaa!]
“Hey…Kwaaagh!”
The guard dog of Hell, completely blind, opened its mouth and spewed flames in all directions. A terrifying fire swept through the area, and of course the nearby monsters were also caught in the heat.
Low-level monsters were destroyed just by touching the flames, and even upper-mid-level monsters who couldn’t predict their sudden action were hit hard. And among them, except for Cerberus, the strongest entity.
The ogre roared as he clutched at his hump as it burned. A body part inherited from the twin-headed ogre, though undeveloped, that symbolizes his extraordinary lineage.
Perhaps if monsters have such things as honor and pride, the fires of the hell dogs have certainly burned them. Besides, it was also the location where his dark stigma was located.
“aaa! Kill, kill, kill!”
The wandering thoughts of humans that form the monster’s intellect flow out through the broken humps. Contrary to the mouth that couldn’t even connect a proper sentence, the body faithfully expressed the owner’s anger more than anything else.
Cerberus’s middle head spins, hot blood and teeth spraying over the roaring flames. Superheated air. Bloody smell.
Nothing could hold back their reason anymore.
[This is more effective than I thought.]
I thought I’d have to use my hands a few more times. In the worst case, even though they were prepared to be found out, it was so easy to catch fire between them. After all, monsters are simple.
Cream, who had been moving closer to them little by little according to my mental wave, retreated farther back to avoid the aftermath of the battle. Although it was the two captains who opened the door to the fight.
It was impossible for anyone to stop a gang fight once it started.

“Giyaaagh!”
The scent of divine power that spreads densely throughout the battlefield drives monsters crazy, and the mental waves of the runaway names in rage spread madness even faster.
The ogre’s fist stretched out reluctantly, and the jawbone of the wyvern turned, and the breath of Cerberus scorched the shell of Skoltiros. The aftermath of the fight spreads in all directions, countless monsters die, and as many monsters jump into the fight.
The monsters who heard the noise of battle and went outside saw the shattered remnants of divine power, and the figures of their comrades fighting in the middle. The entire assembly area was in an uproar.
And, while they were fighting, Cream, who returned to Bing, naturally joined his army from his rear. The absence of a commander at such an exquisite timing, it was perfect to arouse suspicion if it was a human army.
Not only those without intelligence, but also pseudo-names with intelligence were busy paving the way while looking at Cream. Really, even if you don’t want to laugh, you can’t help but laugh.
Well, it would be hard to guess that the person who emits such intense darkness is the owner of mighty divine power. Cream, who naturally took the seat of honor, pulled me out with his graceful attitude.
[Report.]
A heavy and terrifying mental wave that overwhelms the listeners at once. The names were all vacant because they were involved in the strife, and the orc shaman, who was at least in charge, stammered out his words.
[A little while ago, I sensed the energy of a hateful god. So our unit commanders went to check…]
[I know that. I mean, why are they fighting another group of monsters?]
[We don’t know the details, but as the unit commander of our assembly unit and the unit commander of the opposite assembly point approached that place, the spears of divine power flew from both camps to each other…]
[Stop, I can understand it without explaining.]
According to my mental wave, Cream raised its head and pretended to be looking at the battle scene. As the fight intensified, monsters joined little by little at each gathering place, so the scale was much larger than the first.
As if the realm of madness hadn’t reached this far yet, the complexion of the orc shaman reporting around me was calm, but he wasn’t far away either. He doesn’t know it himself, but little by little blood is welling up in his eyes.
He’s lit the fuse, and now all I can do is fan the fire to make it bigger.
Just in time, something was caught in the field of vision shared with Cream. Good timing
[Human, human, human…. Yes, you are human again this time.]
Like Cream, who is now joining the corps and calming the monsters, you can see a figure clad in black lightning flying in from the other side landing in the middle of the assembly area and calming them down.
He wears a black robe similar to cream, but does not hide that he is a human being. Even so, the monsters around him did not attack him, but rather became more calm by his side.
A priest of the Dark Church who abandoned God’s protection and devoted himself to evil spirits. The guide of intellect who has endowed countless monsters with stigmata.
Perhaps if we hadn’t intervened, the person leading this assembly point would have been a human too.
[I tried just in case because they formed a gathering place like us, but I couldn’t throw away my dirty nature.]
[Verse, captain?]
[I am sleeping. That person is the one who caused the divine power and made fun of us.]
A word without any basis or logic. No matter how stupid an Orc Shaman is, you can’t help but feel strange. It was black lightning, not white ice, that spewed out of that human body right away.
However, the orc shaman involuntarily backed away from the darkness enveloping the cream and inflating his body, shutting his mouth. In the first place, there was no need for justification in the monster war.
All you need is strength. And if it was power, it was already overflowing.
[Listen.]
Unleash the power of darkness beyond a simple halo or effect. A bizarre and terrifying figure swells behind the girl wearing a black cloak and holding a black sword.
The whole area becomes dark and the temperature coolly drops just by raising its body in the form of darkness. A power that overwhelms the whole area just by the release of power.
Seeing that scene, I felt new. I really have grown a lot.
[There is our enemy. There are people who were born blessed by God. Even if he had abandoned the bridle himself, the dirty roots would not have disappeared.]
The roaring mental waves will probably reach the opposite assembly point. I laughed as I sensed the tumult at my words, which were effectively a declaration of war.
A melee still rages between the two rendezvous points. Even if the captains of both sides worked together, it would be difficult to stop the chaos, so I increased the size of the board.
[Go out!]
It doesn’t end with mere shouting. Having sealed the scabbard and preventing the leak of divine power, Cream threw the holy sword at Choco and immediately started running on her two legs.
If you don’t want to be attacked by the monsters of the two gathering places, you cannot use divine power here. Not only the holy sword and the muffin, but also Choco, who can’t control himself when entering battle.
In the end, the only cards we can use now are Cream’s swordsmanship and magic, and the various abilities I possess as a demonic sword. However, that’s enough.
“Wow!”
Following the footsteps of the hero wearing pagan conquest, the offensive of the god-hating monster began to surge like a wave.
