It says so in the first patch when Micaela explains it.

There's also a reason why monsters turn into animals and plants and so on when you actually seal them.

She used her dark magic to manipulate the growth of the animals there at the time to create monsters.

Dark magic interferes with the genes of living things, unlike Ilias's holy magic which is more based around spirit and soul.

Also the same goes with Micaela's analysis of Ilias's tactics. That's also a matter of opinion. But in war, usually it's just a matter of the better tactic. And in Ilias's mind, it was better to gamble and risk it all to destroy or seal Alice 1 and starts all over than have Alice 1 eventually have her monsters seduce all of humanity leaving her with nothing.
