Ancient God in the Modern World

"Glory and Honor to the Divine Spirit of Life and Death!"

"Glory and Honor to the Divine Spirit of Life and Death!"

"Glory and Honor to the Divine Spirit of Life and Death!"

Allen is leading the elves to war with the Jotnar while he was riding atop Stripes' back. Indeed, Stripes is like Allen's one and only mount.

"Stripes, the Jotnar once dominated bullied us. Now is the time for revenge," allen mumbled to Stripes.

Hearing this, Stripes was pumped up.

"Scouts, I bless you with the stealth of death!" Allen said as they arrived at the base of the Jotnar.

Allen used the concept that death to give stealth to his elven scouts.

Among the scouts is the Druid named Tareed. He is one of the heads of the elven religion.

Right now, he is one of Allen's most faithful followers among the elven kingdom. Furthermore, he had created a variant of a druid class combining the life part of the druid's power and Allen's death part of the authority.

It is called the Dark Druid.

When Allen first noticed them, he wore a wide smile as he was very satisfied with it.

"Dark Druids, let's go!"

When they are ready, the scouts set out.

The scouts are mostly composed of Dark Druids.

…

A while later, Allen sensed a reek of death from the Jotnar's camp which indicates that the elves finally entered the base and started a killing spree.

However, he too knew that the reek of death did not come from the deaths of the Jotnar but rather to the unfortunate scouts who were caught.

Although Allen granted them stealth, the Jotnar is not a weakling not to be able to counter it. However, not all of them could see through the scouts' stealth. Only the powerful ones and in some places that were installed with array especially to counter stealthy intruders.

"We don't need to kill, all we have to do is to find as much information as we can. This will provide plenty of help to our Lord and to the race…also, don't forget to find the whereabouts of the eternal flame."

After a week, the scouts that Allen sent finally came back with only half of their numbers. However, they bring good news to Allen.

"My Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death, we have found the location of the Eternal Fire."

That is indeed pleasant news.

"Bring me there," Allen asked.

…

"Hmm, this place is truly demonic," Allen commented.

The place of the Jotnar, compared to Allen's place, is rather gloomy.

Allen and the scout entered a cave deep underground.

"Who would have thought that there is a spacious cave in this place?"

Indeed, if not for the information that the elves had gotten and with Allen's small authority inside the realm, they would not be able to locate this.

"Let's go!"

Along with Allen is Tareed, the Druid, and some other Dark Druids.

The place of the Jotnar is filled with demonic energy, fortunately, Allen had the Dark Eye which is also the relic that the Ratatoskr gave him back at the time.

A/N: Allen named the relic, Dark Eye.

Rumble!

Allen and the others heard a rumble in the cave. However, Allen knew that this is only normal for some reason.

Meanwhile, after a few more walks, Allen and the others reached the main lodging of the Jotnar.

In the place, there are tall houses. At the same time, only did Allen truly realize just how spacious the cave is.

"Who comes there?"

A voice resonated in the cave's sky.

"Oh…they have already discovered us?"

Allen was rather stunned; however, in the next second, Allen did not think that this might be so.

"My Lord, I think they found us," Tareed anxiously said.

"Hmm, I think so too," allen replied. "Go on, I will try to delay them."

Of course, allen would not try to fight head-on. If he did, he would be at a disadvantage since then he will be out from the stealth of the Dark Eye.

"Let's try this," allen took out a small mark. After that, he crushed it and towards one of the residents of the Jotnar.

Boom!

In the next second, the demonic energies surged towards where allen threw the crushed mark. After which, a resonating explosion was heard.

"Hehehe!" Allen was laughing as he flees the place.

The dark eye hides his scent from almost anything; however, he is not invisible. He would be discovered if he could be directly seen.

"Intruders! Find them!"

In the next second, loud thuds in the ground were heard as the Jotnar rushed towards the location.

"What is the cause of this?"

"Are the intruders here?"

The Jotnar are not oblivious that there are intruders in the area. Whoever discovered them already notified his underlings.

At the same time, Allen went in the opposite direction from where his followers went. He headed to where the Eternal Fire was according to the information that the scouts gave him.

"Something's wrong. Why are the Jotnars so lax?"

Indeed, only now did Allen realize that the Jotnars are rather relaxed. Although they had set up their defense, Allen did not think that this is enough.

"Be careful! I don't want any one of you to be captured."

Allen told his elves that are with him with his means.

In the next instant, Allen tried to use his authority over the realm.

"Hello, Divine Spirit of Life and Death!"

However, he was greeted by a smiling middle-aged man.

Instead of getting the information that he want, he instead saw a face. Fortunately, the face is not ugly. Otherwise, he would have been creeped out.

Allen raised his eyebrow and asked, "who might you be?"

"That's not important…I want to trade with you."

The face said. However, Allen had a bad feeling about it. His Divine premonition is throbbing.

"What trade?"

"I will give you the Eternal Fire," the man said with a 'polite' grin.

"And what do you want in return?" Allen asked. He knew that there are no free meals in this world.

"Hahaha. You're an intelligent Divine Spirit to talk to."

"Hahaha, tell me, who are you?"

Although he praised Allen, Allen would not be careless not to know the name and the authority of the man he was walking to.

Indeed, Allen could see the man as divine.

"Hahaha, I am called by many names. However, everyone loves to call me the trickster."

The man said with a wide grin.
