Ancient God in the Modern World

"My turn. Taste my fist," the man said.

He clenched his fist as he ran towards the two of them.

"Flower Evasion!"

Meanwhile, Lilith knew that she cannot fight the man head-on. Hence, she used her ability to evade along with Annica.

They disappeared from their location and left behind petals for the old man to punch. However, the man is not discouraged. Instead, he continued to push forward in a certain direction as if the man had guessed where the two ladies will appear.

"Pink Rose!"

As they appeared, madame Lilith immediately conjured a pink rose with a span of one foot.

Thud!

As the man hit the pink rose at the center, shockwaves spread to the flower's petals and into the air.

"…"

Meanwhile, the two ladies had their eyes wide open and were thankful that it was not them who was hit.

"Pink Rose – Rebirth!"

Lilith's pink rose withered and a dozen seeds formed into pink roses and flew towards the man's location.

However, the man disappeared before they could even reach him.

"Hahaha! That's impressive." After that, his voice drifted from behind them and took hold of Annica.

"Annica! Thorned-Rose!"

Lilith tried to attack the man to prevent him from taking Annika; however, she was too late. The man had already disappeared, for the second time.

When they reappeared, Lilith saw the man licking Annica's neck while she was trembling in disgust.

"Leave her alone!"

Lilith said a pointless thing.

"Why whod I do dzat?"

The man mumbled while licking her neck.

"I feel a trace of a higher being on you!" he then said as he stopped licking Annica. "Perhaps I could bring you to him to buy my soul back."

At this moment, Joachim already knew that Dor'gan did not give him power for free. He knew that his soul is no longer his.

"It seemed that the price you've paid is your soul. But could you use her to bargain with the Demon?"

Lilith tried to indirectly dissuade him. However, the man did not seem to be affected. Instead, he smiled as he responded.

"Do you know whose trace is it?" the man paused and observed Lilith's reaction before continuing.

"I found a trace of a Divine Spirit. Akin to the one that altered your body."

Of course, since Lilith is one of the generals that entered the Asgardian Realm, her body is somewhat altered by Divine energy. This truth could not be hidden from Joachim who was using the power of a Demon.

At this point, Lilith's heart faltered. Although the alteration of their body boosted their overall strength, it worries them because this energy is rather foreign for them.

Meanwhile, although they had associated it with the Divine Spirits, they dare not think that this is the work of the known Divine Spirit of Life and Death.

"Shut up! Flower Tribulation!"

After regaining her resolve, she immediately used her most powerful attack.

The flower tribulation bloomed plenty of flowers akin to flower fields. However, the flowers are not just flowers, each of them contained terrifying energy for someone at the ranks of a general. At the same time, their petals, despite their looks, are as sharp as blades.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, they all flew towards Joachim.

Puchi! Splurt!

This is beyond Joachim's expectations.

As a result, he was injured. His body is full of wounds. But most of all, a rose grew behind him and pierced him with its thorns straight to his heart from the back.

But despite that, he looked fine as if it is a minor injury. At the same time, Annika is no longer in his arms. Using his ability, Lilith brought him near her and embraced her.

"Annica, ask for forgiveness in my steed to Sebastian, your father."

At this moment, she regretted asking Sebastian for Annica to accompany her.

"Aunt, please…"

Annica tried to say something but Lilith did not let her finish and sent her away using Flower Evasion.

Meanwhile, Joachim used his ability to spiritualize. At this moment, the thorn of the rose no longer had an effect on him. At the same time, his injuries are also healed to the extent that he looked like he was not injured in the slightest.

"You're not even using your ability…"

Lilith gasped in helplessness as she already knows that her death is about to come. However, deep inside her heart, she was glad that she had sent Annica away.

"I wonder how good would you be…I have never tasted a woman that was altered by Divine energy."

The best way that Joachim discovered to absorb plenty of energies from his preys is to break them first.

"Do you know what will I do to you?" he asked with a wide smile plastered on his face.

"Hehe! I will bring you to heaven…" he added as he licked his lips.

However, Lilith is not resigned to the face that Joachim forged for her.

"Poppy!"

She used her sacrificial move.

Akin to the flower itself, her slender body bloated. Then, in the next second, she exploded akin to the poppy flower releasing her seeds.

Boom!

A resonating boom was heard. For the second time, Joachim is injured. However, at this moment, Joachim's expression is gloomy.

Despite on his spirit form, he was still injured. This is a bad thing for him.

An injury in his spirit form is also an injury in his soul and physical body, at the same time.

"That bitch!" he raged.

He then closed his eyes and used the demonic energy that he had gathered to heal his injuries. Although he is forbidden to use it at normal times, at the moment, it is not a normal time.

Whoosh!

After that, he spiritualized himself and chased far Annica.

It is not hard for him to find her since, just as he said, she has a trace of a higher being.

However, after running a few hundred meters, he met a man: he has good looks, and judging from his aura, he is one of Allen's followers.

"Demon, your time has come. On behalf of our Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death, the Divine Spirit of War and Glory had commanded me to arrest you. Surrender…or die!"

If Allen was here, he would surely know him.. After all, he is a lost soul which he asked for Plague's help back at the time.
