Ancient God in the Modern World

The Plague Priest could become a knight or a preacher.

If he was a knight he could see that he would be holding a sword on his right hand and a shield on his left hand.

With every stab, he cleaves the world apart while his shield blocks all damages to his Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death.

He will be his Lord's weapon on the battlefield. And, he will fight for his Lord's glory.

Meanwhile, if he was a preacher, his words are his Lord's words.

At his command, the world will obey as he was the representation of his Lord in a certain place. He would become the speaker of the Divine spirit of Life and Death.

The Plague Priest was excited but he could not decide.

He wanted to be the speaker of his Lord as well as the weapon.

Plague wished that he could split himself into two so he could choose both paths. He wanted to become a knight as well as a preacher but there was no such choice in the Pathfinder.

Meanwhile, Allen was watching the Pathfinder. He shook his head as he decided to interfere. He could see Plague's determination to become a knight and, at the same time, a preacher.

Such a thing never happened before, well there are some cases, but they are not as determined as the Plague Priest. They would sink in deep thought for a while before deciding to pick a path.

"You could become a knight as well as a preacher but the Pathfinder would not be able to help you. You're the first in the path that you chose," Allen said.

The Plague Priest was delighted but in the next moment, he felt pressured as he realized what Allen just said that he was the first for this path.

This path was not yet threaded before. It is not yet clear of dangers.

Plague steeled his heart and took a deep breath.

Then, he bowed and said, "I will do my best to be useful for my Lord."

Allen nodded. Then, he waved his hand and created a new path, the path of a Deviant.

The Path of the Knight focuses on the might and vigor to pierce through any mountains while the path of a preacher focuses on the gentleness of the heart to move the skies.

These two paths were somewhat contradicting each other but will have the same outcome. They will both become Saints and Angels.

Combining the two paths will result in the path of the Deviant.

The believer on this Path is called the Deviant Knight. They are hard, at the same time, soft.

The biggest challenge for the Deviant path is how to combine the might and vigor to the softness of the heart.

Hearing what the Plague Priest said, Allen nodded and decided not to interfere. After all, only those who dared to make a change are the ones who become powerful and would be revered by all.

"Very well, I am looking forward to what you will become in the future, my dear follower." Allen emphasized the word 'dear' as an indication that he had not forgotten his promise to Plague.

The Plague Priest bowed. Rhen, the scene changed back to normal. He was no longer in the shrine. He was back in his office.

If a knight side with the life side of Allen's Authority, he shall be called Knight of Salvation. In the Death part of Allen's authority, they will be called a Knight of Doom. Wherever he goes, he brought along with him the terror of Death.

Then, if a preacher sided with life, they shall still be called Healers but if they sided on the death part, they would become Warlocks.

As for Plague, it is yet to be known where he will side but Allen was expecting him to side on the death part of his authority. After all, it is what the Plague River Church was good at.

The process of the pathfinder seemed to be long but in truth, it was only for a few seconds. The Pathfinder was able to somehow speed up the time.

Then, a few moments after the pathfinding process was done, Plague was dazed as the passing of the training regime began.

The Plague Priest received the training regime for the path of a Deviant, a new path that Allen created.

After the Plague Priest, Elioenai also followed. And, unlike the Plague Priest, Elioenai did not choose the deviant path. Instead, he chose to be a Priest and sided with the Life part of Allen's authority, and officially followed the path of a Healer.

As of now, only the Plague Priest and Elioenai we're the only ones who could choose a path as they are the only ones who had their seed of faithfulness sprouted.

Days passed, and Allen skipped all his classes at the camp. He stayed in his shrine as he feared that the demons would send someone to destroy it.

Although there were colonel beasts inside his shrine, it's better to be safe than sorry. Moreover, the colonel is not the strongest.

Meanwhile, Colonel Lukas discovered Allen's absentee and had no choice but to punish him

Colonel Lukas did not want to do it. But, Allen's absences forced him to.

Such trainees are rare and if they exist, they would, surely, become one of the pillars of humanity in the future.

Lukas rather pitied Allen. But in the end, he chose to expel Allen from the camp.

The first one who got this news was Thomas and Drew. They were furious. They reported it to their Lord but Allen simply waved his hand as he thought that this would be better.

Allen found the school as a constriction for him. All of his actions were being watched and he does not have much freedom.

Thus, Thomas and Drew had also decided that they would go to the frontline in advance. With that in mind, both of them filled their decision with the administration of the camp.

Their decision surprised colonel Lukas. And summoned Thomas and Drew.

"Both of you, why do you want to go to the frontline in advance," he asked Thomas and Drew.

Thomas and Drew Looked did not dare look Colonel Lukas in the eye. Their anger towards colonel Lukas for expelling Allen to the frontline is evident and could not be hidden.

But in the end, Drew answered because he knew that they would both be in trouble if nobody answered.

"Sir, the camp has nothing for us to learn. Our strength is stagnant."

"Fools, even generals could die at the frontlines. Do you think you're stronger than them," he berated the two of them for having such a reckless decision.

Thomas clenched his fist as he could not endure the colonel. Then, he blurted, "it does not concern you. This is our life and we'll do anything that pleases us."

After saying that, Thomas stood and slammed the door of the office as he got out. He did not care if he angered the colonel. He will be leaving the camp, anyway.

Drew also stood and bowed slightly before leaving.
