What is the difference between a saint, a saint, and a saint? Gender? Isn’t the current saint of the moon also a woman?
What separates the saint from the rest is the difference in purpose. Unlike the saints, who can freely wield their enormous power by being blessed by God, the other two come to earth with clear missions.
Also, even if there is a disaster on earth, it is usually solved by an oracle, and since there is no god who wants to place a heavy burden on the child he loves the most, the mission required for a saintess is extremely limited.
[Well, you yourself know best that you are still not in perfect condition as a saint. Yes?]
“I am a saint… Yes, I am still confused.”
I don’t know if it was because she heard that she was a saint, or if it was because she met the legendary person in person, but Choco looked blank. Perhaps the rapidly changing current situation seemed unrealistic.
Well, it was good enough. In the first place, Choco is a person who has built a wall with his religious life, and the beastman’s tribal god is the moon, not the stars. She was chosen as a saint without any connection.
[It’s because I haven’t fully awakened as a saint yet. It may have been in the past, but now the influence that gods can exercise on earth has greatly diminished.]
“Well, then what should I do?”
[You should go to the place where the influence of God is most intense and complete the rest of the procedures.]
Holy Sword – Ah, there are two holy swords, so there is such a problem. Muffin’s words made sense, but the implications of those words made us uncomfortable.
Now that God’s influence has diminished on earth, isn’t there only one place where God’s touch can still reach?
[I know you guys have a bad relationship with Daishinjeon, but if it’s for this purpose, it’ll be fine. Even if there is Eun-won, would you throw out the new saint?]
The place where Cream and I first met······. It sounds very romantic to say so, but right now, the saint of the sun will be waiting for us there with his eyes wide open.
Well, her grandfather’s fervent courtship was rejected. No matter how much Daeshinjeon could not directly oppose the warriors in its position, stepping into their territory was another matter.
[Choice to be that saint? Can’t she just live like this without receiving that?]
“What, decide what you want!”
At my carefree words, Choco screamed at her barak. Cream, who would normally have pretended to listen to me, shook her head with an unusually firm expression.
“Go, do it.”
[Must be?]
[There’s no way an ordinary mortal could refuse the call of a god, right? Now, I’ve stabilized the divine power, but if I leave it as it is…]
“If I left it?”
Choco swallowed her saliva as Muffin’s tone decreased to a sullen tone. Perhaps that innocent look was cute, Muffin, who smiled like a witch, continued talking.
[Boom! It explodes.]
[Hee!]
[No, why are you surprised?]
[Just because it feels like it should.]
I said it jokingly, but it was a pretty serious topic. It doesn’t matter to me, but Cream will be heartbroken in many ways if my pet explodes.
No matter how strong Cream was, it could not disobey its will as long as it was protected by the gods. In the end, our next destination had no choice but to be the Great War.
[Anyway, what are the gods?]
I grumbled, and Muffin said in a strangely lingering tone.
[Don’t hate them too much. Don’t you know that the gods also have their own circumstances?]
*
[Isn’t something strange?]
After making the Great God Temple our destination, we were running through the forest.
Hair was called the closest city to the Great War, but this only refers to cities that are not ruled by the Great War. Even beyond the border, there were a few places under the direct jurisdiction of Daesinjeon.
Of course, most of those places are agricultural fields or shabby places like pilgrims’ inns, so Cream doesn’t hesitate to stop by. She always moved only the shortest distance.
[Still, this is too much!]
[I like it inside, but stop whining!]
Because the sound was so loud, I had to increase the volume of the mental wave to some extent. The current situation was such a mess that the mental waves that were stuck in my brain were buried in the physical sound.
It’s the shortest path. It sounds good, but the truth is that it was an unexplored road that crosses the territory of all kinds of monsters. If it wasn’t for the strength of a hero, it would have been the shortest path to the underworld instead of the Great War.
However, even considering that, the scale of the monsters now swarming was unreasonable.
“Kwaaang!”
Choco, who has turned into a beast, roars and runs amok. The guy who became a beast with a height of 3 meters was quite different from usual. A golden air current crackled over his dark brown fur that was close to black.
It seems that he still can’t directly handle the divine power of the stars, but whenever he rampages, weak monsters are often electrocuted and knocked down by the lightning that flows from his body little by little.
While chocolate was rampaging on one side, cream was active on the other side.
“Hot.”
Unlike Choco, who cried out and attracted attention from all directions, Cream only let out short bursts of energy at most, and her movements were unmatched quiet. Still, she exuded a formidable presence.
As Cream danced past holding a demonic sword in one hand and a holy sword in the other, the monsters in the path collapsed like straw. Even so, whenever there was a chance, Cream exploded with her magic and faith.
[Still, it’s definitely strange. The number of monsters is so large.]
Contrary to our peaceful conversation, we were also helping Cream in our own way. Every time Cream swings me, monsters get tangled up and fall due to magical action.
When he swung the holy sword again, lightning and frost fell on it. The enemies weren’t powerful enough for Cream to draw on her strength, but instead they were horribly outnumbered.
[I hate bugs!]
Giant ents, giant spiders, giant blah·······. Insect-type monsters, whose species is hard to count, were attacking us as if they were looking at honey-coated prey.
They’s compound eyes glistened with black madness. Although not without other types of monsters, it was the long-legged, hairy creatures that made up most of this wave.
[They felt the holy power flowing from the prospective saint and flocked to it.]
[What? Why?]
[If you don’t deal with it now, it will become an unmanageable threat in the future.]
Muffin explained in a friendly voice instead of the holy sword that he couldn’t understand. Although her explanation was convincing to a certain extent, Choco was still a threat even when she was less awakened.
There is no ability as diverse as Cream, and no firepower as powerful. Choco did not even learn proper martial arts. Instead, she’s the only thing the guy has. She has more monstrous physical abilities than monstrous.
Her stats displayed on the status window may be lower than Cream’s, but now supported by her characteristics, Choco’s physical abilities and regenerative powers have risen to an unpredictable level.
“Crwww… Lala….”
To the extent that even a howling ogre can stop its roar. While even the ferocious forest predator was overwhelmed and stopped, the great beast swung at it.
Its gigantic mouth widened open to bite the ogre, but he threw it away as if he realized that the food was too tough. It was unusual to see the giant’s horses flying in the sky.
Even in the meantime, all sorts of insects cling to Choco’s body, drive fangs, and spray venom, but none of the venom can overcome the resistance of the pure-blooded beastman. Her wounds heal quickly.

[Kya·······. sh*t…….]
When I was active as a demonic sword, most of the people who caught me were ordinary or lower beings. They had no special characteristics or talents, so they wanted to gain strength even by selling their souls.
But now, all of my allies who participated in the war were out-of-standard monsters born with overwhelming talent. I felt a bit bitter when I thought of myself as a human being.
“Choco, let’s get into it.”
Taking advantage of the temporary lull on the battlefield, Cream spoke to Choco. Well, if those two go on a rampage, there’s nothing they can’t do to deal with all the monsters flocking to them, but they’ll be stuck for a few hours.
Besides that, no matter how creamy it is, I have no choice but to worry about power consumption. Choco, who was captivated by wild nature and ran amok, also raised his head at some point.
[······ Huh? You’re finer than I thought okay!]
Cream put the Holy Sword back into the scabbard with me, and at the same time, a terrifying flash exploded from both hands. While the monsters were scorched and blinded by the light, she jumped up.
The moment Cream landed on her back and grabbed the beast’s mane, Choco, who had crouched down on her body, spurred her on the ground and ran. Foolishly, everything that stood in the way of the beast was torn to pieces.
But there is one thing we haven’t considered.
[They are chasing you?]
[I told you, they sensed the saintess’ imperfect aura and flocked to it.]
A saint or saintess who has achieved complete awakening naturally has the power to tear and kick those monsters, but even if she is chosen before that, she cannot use her divine power properly.
Of course, Choco was strong enough even before she mastered her divine powers. There was no way the monsters knew that fact, so they continued to struggle in futility.
[Still, don’t worry too much. If you go inside the Great Temple…]
Certainly, the closer I got to the Great Hall, the more I could feel the power of the monsters draining away. However, as if they didn’t want to miss the last chance, they chased after it with a lot of foam.
I could feel the presence of a human from afar. There’s no way I haven’t felt the monster wave on this scale. Heavily armed knights and combat priests were blocking the way.
“Watch out, the monster… Huh?”
[How can someone who claims to be a servant of God throw a sword at the hero!]
The commander seemed to have judged that the wild beasts running at breakneck speed were also a group of monsters, but before he gave the order to attack, the holy sword gave a quick shout.
A cry that shows the spirit and tolerance even in the midst of anger. While the commander gave up, Choco jumped up and jumped over the formation of knights and priests.
As much as they were active in the Great God, they were also sensitive to divine power. There was no way they could not have noticed this unpleasant aura of cream and chocolate.
“Am I really a hero? However, this energy is a little different…”
[Are you suspicious of the hero right now? Now is not the time to care about us. Prepare for battle!]
“Prepare for battle!”
As the Holy Sword shouted sharply, the guardians of the temple unwittingly cried out in prayer and raised their weapons in the opposite direction from us. As if to protect us.
A skilled warrior could not fail to feel the vibrations that shook this earth and the death that stabbed this skin. One step too late, a group of monsters in a frenzy arrived.
“Kyaaagh!”
“What the hell is that?”
[Delivery!]
The monsters, who were stimulated by the saintess’ energy and whose species were strengthened by the dark energy flowing throughout the continent, attacked without being intimidated by the sacred energy exuded by the guardians of the temple.
In the end, they had no choice either. As they had trained in advance, the knights raised their weapons, and the combat priests stretched out their hands while reciting prayers.
[Please check the recipient!]
The moment I shouted excitedly, the two armies finally collided.
