Ancient God in the Modern World

While riding the Moonlight Tiger, Allen looked for a spot to build his second shrine. The second shrine was necessary for him to expand his influence in Base 300.

And after looking for a while, Allen found a spot. It was a cave beneath a canyon.

Using his divine energy, Allen expanded the cave and made its entrance stealthy. Only a few onlookers might find the entrance but the chances are very slim.

Just like the first shrine, Allen placed a throne inside it. Then, an altar where his authority was engraved. There are also pillars that hold the ceiling of the cave.

The inside of his first shrine was almost the same in all aspects. The only difference is the lighting as well as the waterfall. His second shrine was somewhat darker than the first.

After creating a shrine, Allen had decided that it was about time for him to earn credits. The end of the month is about to come and he needed to gain points.

While they were looking, Allen was confused as to why cannot find demonic beasts. This continued for a while, but Allen's eyes widened as he realized the reason. He slapped his forehead for forgetting that he was riding a general-ranked beast.

Of course, Stripes' aura alone is more than enough to scare away the beast with a rank lower than a general.

Allen shook his head and could only resort to using divine energy to seal off the Stripe's aura or else, his search would be all for naught.

Allen did not give up on bringing Stripes with him. And, in combination with Stripes' strength, he could hunt general ranked demonic beasts.

Days passed and Allen's demonic beast corpse continued to pile up. But Thomas and Drew were still practicing.

Unlike before, Thomas practiced a stabbing technique using a dagger. Aside from that, he improved in using his ability. In the past, the only use of his ability that he knew is for escape as well as small support where he could hide in and give his opponent a surprise. But now, he had discovered that he could control the shadows and use them for attack and for defense.

With every swing of his dagger, the shadows, too, would wriggle as if they were affected by Thomas' stroke.

"Huuuu!"

After a while, Thomas slumped down on the ground as he released a deep breath. The few strokes that he practiced exhausted him. But despite being exhausted, Thomas was wearing a wide smile.

…

Meanwhile, just like Thomas, Drew was also training, but his training is different from Thomas'. As a preacher, Drew is on the life part of Allen's authority.

Unlike the Knight of Doom, a preacher spreads the goodness of Allen's presence wherever they go. But overall, they have the same obligation which is to become Allen's eyes and limbs.

Drew was practicing a set of hand seals that was related to his ability. Sometimes, he would also practice his domain but he was not able to sustain it for a long time. It consumes too much faith energy. At most, he could sustain it for a couple of seconds.

…

Both Thomas and Drew persevered knowing that it would always be difficult at the start. But later on, everything would be easier.

With that thought, they stood and rested. They also planned to hunt demonic beasts to meet their quota.

*chatter of a crowd*

Meanwhile, Allen looked around as he entered a familiar city. He went back to Base 300. The first place that Allen looked for is the Exchange Hall.

The Exchange Hall is a hall that is built with the sole purpose to exchange the demonic beast corpse into points. The Exchange Hall is controlled by the military and it was guarded by colonels, which was the direct subordinate of the generals of the base.

Just as Allen went to the Hall, he was bombarded by a long queue of people. There were at least about a hundred people queuing and there were more coming.

Allen disregarded them and walked straight to the counter. Then, he said, "I would like to exchange my demonic beast corpses into points."

The attendant over the counter did not know what to do. She feared that if she angered any one of the clients, they could kill her at any moment they liked. The lady was an able user, but her rank is not as high as a colonel.

At the same time, the men in the queue were infuriated by Allen's behavior.

"Bastard, fall in line."

One of the men shouted while the others prepared to use their ability and were simply waiting for the timing to 'hit' Allen. But all of a sudden, Allen released a bit of his divine aura.

The crowd was terrified. Even when he was still at Base 355, he already had this aura, but he controlled it with all he could in fear that he would be targeted while he was still weak. But now is a different situation, although he was still not the strongest, only a few could contend against him. And besides that, Allen also had Stripes. Stripes' existence could not be ignored. After all, Stripes was a general-ranked beast.

The queue instantly went silent as they felt Allen's profound aura. For some reason, their gut feeling is telling them that they would not be able to defeat Allen. Thus, they could only shut their mouths and keep quiet.

Then, Allen waved.his hand and took out the corpses of the demonic beasts that he had killed. Most of the corpse was from colonel demonic beasts. But what attracted the attention of the onlookers was the corpse of two general ranked demonic beasts. Of course, Allen still could not kill a general ranked demonic beast, but with Stripes' help, he could.

*gulp*

The man that called Allen 'bastard' a while ago swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Then, he slowly slipped away and no longer cared about the queue.. He feared that Allen might 'punish' him.
