Ancient God in the Modern World

Chapter 148 - C148 Joachim - The One Who Unknowingly Sold His Soul

Bang! Bang!

The day had come when Joachim finally faced the Gold Wing Butterfly again.

At first glance, the butterfly seemed to be pretty and harmless. However, oftentimes, pretty things are what's harmful to us.

"Shoot it!"

The group that Joachim is with is composed of military personnel.

Indeed, at this time of chaos, the upper echelon of the humans had decided to eliminate as many Demons as they like. At the same time, they also want to take this opportunity to make more weapons using the body part.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Coincidentally, the Gold Winged Butterfly, with a wingspan of about a meter, had the best material for radio communication, at the same time, for shield. Its wings are sturdy and could probably withstand a blow from a lower general if it is processed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Not Good!"

A round of bullets was fired along with some abilities. However, Joachim, the one who had faced the demonic beast before knew that this would not work.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, he disappeared while using his ability.

In his spiritual form, he is not invisible but he could pass through almost anything.

He then took out a dagger that he especially customized for his ability and prepared to attack it.

He hid in the branches of the trees and calculated the possible path of the Demon. Finally, he waited in the general direction of where it is going.

Meanwhile, the gold-winged butterfly is being sieged by the humans.

It was receiving many attacks. However, it was not affected in a bit. Well, it was 'fleeing' but that's all.

Screech!

In the next second, it screeched as it launched its attack for the first time.

Whoosh!

Clouds of dust came whooshing in the direction of its attackers in the next second and they are unable to evade it.

At first glance, the dust seemed to be harmless, but in the next second, it proved otherwise.

The dust grew into tiny larvae as it touched the skill of the humans. At the same time, they lost their senses as their nerves were taken over by the small things.

Then, in the next second, the ones that were infested with larvae attacked their companions that managed to evade the dust from the gold-winged butterfly.

Those that are parasitized by the demonic beast can be controlled by it.

However, such an unexpected outcome is within Joachim's calculations. At this moment, he knew that his time to attack as come.

Indeed, in the next second, as the gold-winged butterfly thought that it no longer has a remaining enemy, it relaxed as it began feeding its larvae.

Whoosh!

However, in the next moment, a blurry figure with a dagger appeared and stabbed the body of the demonic beast.

The stab did not affect its physical body but its spirit is done for. Furthermore, Joachim attacked all of a sudden, not allowing the demonic beast to retaliate.

Screech!

It screeched as it releases more dust in an attempt at mutual destruction. However, Joachim, who was in his spirit form, was not affected.

After the final struggle, the demonic beast died. However, at this moment, Joachim was stunned at how did he manage to kill the Demon that he was previously helpless with.

"What exactly is the ability that uncle gave me?" he asked himself as he looked at his hand,

However, he was stunned to find out that his spirit form has Black mist emanating from it.

"The demonic beast???kill."

Meanwhile, a man approached him weakly. However, he could see greed in the eyes of the man as he approached him. It was as if the man is yearning for fortune from the dead demonic beast.

However, Joachim is not happy with it.

"Fuck this bastard. It was still thinking on having a share."

At this point, Joachim thought that he is the only one that has the right to fortune from the demonic beast because he is the one who killed. Of course, this is only rightful; however, for some reason, he stabbed the man to death and coldly glared at its corpse.

"Ahh?!?"

Then on the next second, he moaned in astonishment and pleasure as a back mist from the corpse flew towards him and merged to his body.

He heard a whisper of rage from the dead man.

"What the hell was that?"

Then on the next second, he looked at the demonic beast. Then, the same thing happened. However, there are no whispers; only back mist. But it was a lot less dense.

"What the heck?"

Without wasting another moment, he looked for another dying man and killed him.

But because the man already lost his consciousness, there is no lesser whisper than the first one.

He tried and tried until he arrived at the conclusion that the whispers are the emotions before their death.

At the same time, he also discovered that the black mist could make him stronger.

"Hmm, I am now reaching the ranks of a captain," he said as he clenched his fist.

With that in mind, his eyes became a lot darker as he thought of an idea of how to get stronger.

In the next few days, he had gone on a rampage as he begins to hunt the humans.

At first, he was against the idea; however, as get stronger, he no longer thought about it.

"As long as I did not overdo it, the higher authorities will not act."

That is indeed the case. However, although the higher authorities will not think much of it, Drew will.

At this moment, Joachim is no longer any different than a Demons. However, this is what Dor'gan liked. He wanted him to drown on the power that he gave him.

Well, in truth, he did not give him power. Instead, he signed a contract with him.

Joachim can use his power, the Demon of gluttony, as much as he wanted; however, he cannot stop from wanting more. Furthermore, if Joachim died, he will harvest the power that Joachim obtained from using his ability.

Such an irony. This condition is one-sided. However, Joachim did not partake in any negotiations. The moment he agreed to have another ability, the deal is already sealed as Dor'gan shoved his index finger on his forehead.

"Let's see, what will the saints do about this."
