Meanwhile, on the other side.
The saintesses were also confronting the saints.
Arcadia was the same. She was having a stare down with the man
who was carrying a sinister spear.
"Fumu, I don't know what race you are, but you are the 'Spear' Saint,
aren't you?"
"Yes. And you are the 'Spear' Saintess, I reckon. —Hmm. You have
a pretty well-trained core," the man smiled, seemingly glad.
In response Arca laughed boldly and said, "Well, the same goes to
you. Furthermore, looking at your tail and limbs covered with strong
scales… if I may take a guess, you're a 'dragon', perhaps?"
"Correct. You're a knowledgeable one, Saintess. My name is
Agartha. A warrior of the proud dragon race and the 'Spear' Saint
chosen by the Goddess of the End."
Swish swish, swinging around his Sacred Treasure, Agartha took a
stance.
"I see. Then it would be rude of me not to introduce myself. Very
well. My name is Arcadia. The 'Spear' Saintess born in the remote
village 'Amzonesia' and the wife of the hero of salvation."
Swoosh, Arca also took a stance with her spear.
Agartha laughed as though he had found something funny and said,
"Kukuku, now that you mention it, you all are that man's women,
aren't you?"
"Yeah, that's right. Got a problem with it?"
"No, my race practices polygamy, basically everyone does it. I was
simply wondering what was your thought on polygamy as a woman,"
Agartha asked, perhaps as provocation, or perhaps out of simple
interest.
However, Arcadia didn't mind it at all, instead she puffed up her
bountiful breasts and said, "What a stupid question. As the legal
wife, I've given him my permission, so I have no problem with it. The
number of his concubines just goes to show how generous I am."
"Hahaha! You are an interesting woman! I start feeling like it's a
shame to kill you!"
"You need not worry about that. If there's anyone who's going to die
here, it's you."
"Kukuku, honestly—you're one really interesting woman!"
BANG! Agartha started rushing towards Arcadia, and she tightened
her grip on her Holy Spear.
◇ ◇
On the other side, Zana was also confronting a saint whom they had
seen for the first time, but from his looks, Zana immediately guessed
his identity.
Silky silver hair, dark brown skin, and characteristic shape of ears.
She had no doubt about it.
He was a—.
"—'Dark elf', right?"
Far stronger than most elves, but detested as 'filthy' by them—dark
elf.
To think he's on their side as one of the saints…
"Yes. I'm Canaan. A 'Bow' Saint, just like you." Canaan said calmly.
Zana asked, "You seem to be a reasonable person, why are you
siding with them?"
"I merely dislike meaningless conflicts. Hence why I wish to create a
peaceful world."
"But that's the same as telling us to die, you know?"
"I know. So please rest assured. I'll let you die painlessly," Canaan
smiled gently.
Zana sighed and raised her Holy Bow, "I take back my words. You
are the exact opposite of reasonable person."

"Nuooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"
――Clang!
"Uoh!?"
Being blown away by the blow of the Beastified Elysium, I rolled
around on the snow.
Not only the weight of his blows, everything from his spirit and the
sharpness of his moves had dramatically improved.
This was likely his battle mode.
But.
"You're quite rash in that form, aren't you?"
"Indeed. Beastification heightens one's instinct. As such, it is
inevitable for one to lose their ability to suppress their emotion. At
best, they can suppress their fear. It rivals that immortality of yours, I
would say."
"Why are you always so condescending? Do you think you're
unbeatable?"
"It's a matter of course. Why would I think myself as being inferior to
you?"
"Yeah. You were that kind of guy from the start. But that's exactly
why I'm going to teach you something. —That is, the fact that I'm
now stronger than you!"
"—Guh!?"
BANG! With lightning covering my body, I kicked off the ground in a
flash and punched him in the face.
