Ancient God in the Modern World - Chapter 84

Cold Wind had become Allen’s prophet.

A prophet could not necessarily predict the future however, they are close to the Divine Spirit and it could be said that they are just a rank below a saint.

They are the ones who convey the words of the Divine Spirit to the masses.

They are the one that enlightens the shadowed heart of the Divine Spirit’s subject.

They will be a star in the dark sky and an oasis amidst the desert.

Meanwhile, a bird-and-man duo is moving in the pitch-black hole. However, they are not hindered by the lack of light.

They are agilely climbing down until, finally, they noticed an opening akin to a cave in the wall of the hole.

Cold Wind did not hesitate and entered it. However, as he did so, red eyes stared at him.

It seemed that he had finally reached the edge of the spiders’ territory.

However, Cold Wind is not a fool to be surrounded by them.

Meanwhile, all of a sudden, the small bird glowed and become akin to a light bulb in the air which gave light to the surrounding.

Of course, the bird could not do it on its own. It had the support of the Divine Mark within Cold Wind.

At the same time, there is also a negation of opposing energies but the generation of divine energy from Cold Wind’s constant praises in his mind kept fueling it.

In fact, it is even overflowing.

The divine energy generated from the praises of an admiral ranked creature is not something that could be compared to the divine energy within the plague river church.

Furthermore, Cold Wind’s thought and soul is not tainted by evil thoughts. He is extremely pure.

Ding! Dring! Ding!

Cold Wind plucked the strings of his harp and made a melody that affected the spiders.

The spiders that he had are only number five. However, if he let them send a report to their companions, they would become a hundred or a thousand in an instant.

Meanwhile, as the spiders heard his melody, they become muddleheaded and after a while, they lost their consciousness.

Cold Wind’s melody attacks the soul.

And just now, he attacked their soul. His melody painlessly destroyed their soul.

However, Cold Wind did not completely eradicate them. He eft one spider to be his mount.

He can do it? Yes, he just did.

The melody created a mark akin to Allen’s mark when he controls beasts. However, Cold Wind’s mark is unlike Allen.

He, constantly, needed to supply it with his spiritual energy.

Meanwhile, Cold Wind is yet to fully utilize the usage of faith energy. However, the Divine Mark is already hinting at him.

If he would constantly fight, it would not be long until he will do so.

However, Cold Wind did not urgently need it.

After all, he is at the ranks of an admiral.

Before the dead spiders could be discovered by their fellows, Cold Wind left while mounted atop the back of the spider.

The spiders in this area are unlike the arachnids that we knew. They are of the same height as humans and they possess a deadly venom.

Moreover, each of their legs is like powerful spear that could stab their enemies to death.

The spiders are agile and quick. It is the best transportation for Cold Wind in the pitch-black abyss like this one.

It could climb, jump, and more. Furthermore, it could see in the darkness with no problem.

However, their eyes are dulled in the daylight and could not see in the sun. But, of course, there is no need for them to go where the sun shines.

Their natural habitat is in this pitch-clack abyss. Here they could live their life like kings. They do not need to worry about foods and such.

However, Cold Wind is not as comfortable as he was hoping when he is atop the spider’s back.

There is faint negation from the divine energy from his Divine Mark and into the body of the spider.

Just like the other creatures of the shrine, they are altered by the energies. To be precise, the body of the spiders are altered by demonic energy.

However, just a while ago, when Cold Wind attacked the spider, his attack did not meet obstruction and directly reached the soul of the poor creature.

At the same time, the spiders are only at the ranks of a general.

…

Meanwhile, Allen continued to chase the Ratatoskr.

They had been on the run for a week now. There are times that Allen nearly caught the squirrel. However, for some reason, it seemed that it was toying with him.

Of course, Allen knew that it was trying to enrage him to act recklessly. However, as a Divine Spirit, how could he be toyed by a lowly creature just like that.

Concurrently, Allen did not have an advantage in speed. However, he has two Moders with him. One is the one he is riding while the other one oftentimes tries to attack.

Allen knew that this game is a game of perseverance and Allen had an ace over it.

As a divine, he did not need to sleep.

At the same time, it is also the same for the Moders. Since they are undead. They do not feel no fatigue. Furthermore, since Allen did some modifications with their bodies, their bodies are naturally stronger than a living Moder.

“Creature, surrender, or you will face my wrath,” Allen said.

Of course, the Ratatoskr is not foolish to do so.

“Hahaha, wrath? I don’t care. You can’t even catch me.”

It was amused as to how Allen could demand his surrender if he cannot catch him.

However, he did not relax because he knew that Allen could indeed catch him if Cold Wind got his hands on the divine crystals. But that is better said than to be done.

From the very start that he saw Allen, he had been scheming against him. He had already targeted him at that time. He prepared many things.

However, he did not expect that Allen would gain an admiral ranked follower.

He is rather regretting messing with a Divine Spirit but he did not have a path to retreat.

He had already done it.
