Ancient God in the Modern World - Chapter 182

0182

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The elves marched a few hundred meters to the hollow point before the Vermillion Horror while some piloted the elven ship just above the army.

The elven army is divided into four parts; the vanguard, the archers, the pilots, and finally, the Druids.

The vanguards are the main fighting force of the army. They are made of elven knights and soldiers.

Then, the archers, there’s no need to introduce them. Their weapons are bows and arrows. They are in the ships of the pilots but they can depart at any time.

As for the pilots, they maneuver the ships and were in charge of firing the ships’ cannons.

Then, finally, the Druids. If the vanguard is the main force of the army, the Druids are the pillars. They held the help of the army and were always with the king.

“Pilots! Aim…”

Although Hestia’s voice is not that loud, the whole army heard her.

The Pilots heed her command and got ready to fire while the others prepared themselves for what comes next.

“…Release!”

Bloom! Bloom! Bloom! Bloom! Bloom!

In the next second, the cannons exploded barrels after barrels to the other side of the hollow point towards the territory of the Demons.

However, the cannons did not do much damage on the other side.

Although they were engraved with elven inscriptions to boost their power and range, they did not hit plenty of Demons. They only hit the vicinity of the Demon’s territory.

However, that is already enough.

“Hiss! Who dares.. hiss… disturb the great Apophis in his territory?”

Beyond Allen’s and Hestia’s expectations, Apophis immediately came out of his territory.

However, he was cautious enough not to immediately attack. Instead, he observed the surrounding. When he reckoned that there is no danger, he came out.

“Hehe, am I very fortunate enough to have female Divine Spirit chase… hiss… over me. Did the God of Life and Death send you?”

It’s not that he has eyes back at earth, it’s simply because he figured that the planet is under a crisis.

He did not do anything on the planet. He simply has some information that even Allen, the supreme God of the planet earth, did not have.

“I reckon, he must be very bu-… hisss…. -sy.”

Hearing that, Hestia laughed inwardly.

“Enough talk, Demon. Even if his eminence is not here, do you think I cannot defeat you?”

Hestia said. After that, she prepared her fiddle made of Divine energy which she created using a Divine crystal.

“Hahaha! With just… hiss… you?”

In the next moment, Apophis transformed in his battle form and got ready to pounce over Hestia.

Whoosh!

Apophis then dashed towards her without wasting any more seconds.

“Die!”

In just a few moments, Apophis appeared not too far away from the elven army.

Weeeennnnnnngggg. Weeeennnnnnngggg. Weeeennnnnnngggg.

However, Hestia did not mind him. Instead, she simply played her fiddle and created a gorgeous melody.

At first, the melody seemed to be very gentle. However, in the next second, one would realize that it wasn’t.

Rumble!

The earth rumbled and formed a deep pit that was at least a few hundred meteres deep while its bottom contained boiling magma.

Hestia is not a Goddess of a hearth for no reason.

In the past, the ancient greet has a hearth which is basically the fireplace. Before, her prowess is not like this. But when Allen burned her as he engraved his mark on her, he upgraded her ability.

Now, she could manipulate and create fire.

Meanwhile, Apophis leaped over the pit and evaded the danger.

Apophis was not harmed. None of his scales were damaged nor scratched.

“Hahaha! Puny! I told you, you cannot defeat me.”

However, Hestia did not care about what he was talking about. She is only here to lure out the Demon, Apophis.

In a few more seconds, Apophis is about to reach the army.

This made everyone in the army fear. Although they are faithful to the God of Life and Death, they still feared the snake Demon striding towards them.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

However, in the next second, they were surprised and relieved.

A red-figure dived from the sky with a chirping sound.

It then grabbed towards the Apophis and flew him away.

Although Apophis is big, so thus Scarlet. Furthermore, the former is caught off giard.

Furthermore, puny demonic beast, you have surrendered to the God of life and death?”

Apophis was stunned by Scarlet’s appearance. Although Scarlet changed a lot, he could still recognize her.

“Not bad, you’ve gotten stronger.”

As Apophis said that, he broke free from Scarlet’s grasp and fell from on the ground big a big thud.

Whoosh!

In the next second, Scarlet is already diving towards Apophis, for the second time, while the latter had gotten ready to leap and bite her midair.

But when he tried to do so, he was unable to.

He looked at his body only to see vines holding him down.

In the next second, he looked at Hestia and discovered that he is playing a very wonderful melody with her eyes closed.

The melody seemed to be able to reach ones’ soul and heart.

Not only that, the melody also moved the vines which Hestia used to hold down the Demon.

Unfortunately, the vines are not strong enough. It snapped when Apophis forcefully broke free.

However, this is already enough because in the next second, as Scarlet appeared, his claws pierced Apophis’ heart. Unfortunately, Demons and the Divine alike have strong vitality. Still, it could be said that Apophis is already injured.

“Bas- hiss -tard! Black Mist! Hiss”

Apophis might be caught off guard but that does not disable him from counter-attacking.

From his pierced heart, purple blood flowed which turned into black mists as it met the air.

Seeing this, Scarlet knew that it contained a strong poison. However, she did not let go. Instead, her vermillion flames burned brighter.

“Feathered moron, how dare you sacrifice yourself?”

At this moment, Allen showed up as he saw the scene.

Just now, Scarlet is aiming for mutual destruction.
