Ancient God in the Modern World

The existence of a Divine Spirit is not common in the shrine. Although the inhabitants are not oblivious of their existence, they had not seen one.

After Ragnarok, the Divine Spirits had gone extinct. Well, there is one that is somehow managing the shrine; however, the remaining Divine Spirit is always inactive. Thus, he is akin to a nonexistent Divine Spirit.

Meanwhile, the elves took custody of General Bren. But his treatment is unlike the prisoner.

He is locked in a luxurious bedroom. There is food as well as beverages. At the same time, some elven servants are keeping him company.

All in all, if he could leave his room, his treatment would be no different than an important guest.

Meanwhile, at this moment, the door opened and queen Alinar, the queen of the elves, entered. Along with her are her elven knight escorts.

The moment that queen Alinar laid her eyes at him, she knew that she is a 'chosen one' of a Divine Spirit. She could feel the divine aura within him.

"Good day, esteemed one," queen Alinar greeted General Bren.

Meanwhile, General Bren looked at her for a while. He was dazed to see a lady as beautiful as her. At the same time, he was also stunned to see the sharp ears.

Then, he realized that the body of the lady is slim. Furthermore, she had a rather unnatural height for a human girl.

Only at this time did he realize that the lady in front of him is an elf.

"Good day, my lady," General Bren greeted back. However, his blood is rushing to his head in awkwardness. He is not sure how long did he stare at her.

"Pardon me, it is my first time seeing an elf."

"Oh! So, you are not of this realm?" queen Alinar asked.

However, she had an enlightened expression. She now understood why he is wearing a set of unfamiliar clothes.

Alinar and General Bren had a small talk.

After that, queen Alinar had decided to remove his restriction.

At this moment, General Bren is already at the level of important guests.

…

Meanwhile, at the same moment, Cold Wind is being chased by the Dark Elves.

"INTRUDERS!"

The Dark Elves, while on the back of their wolf steeds, are chasing over Cold Wind.

"THIS WAY!"

His spider-mount is trotting towards the general direction of the divine repository.

"GET 'EM!"

"FUCK! HE'S HEADING TO THE DIVINE REPOSITORY!"

It is not too hard for the Dark Elves to guess Cold Wind's destination.

Although he has the strength of an admiral, he barely had people to socialize with.

This is a new experience for him. In his lake, all that are present there are the fishes and such.

Meanwhile, Cold Wind kept on playing his melody atop his mount.

Then, after a while, the divine repository had already appeared in his field of view.

Well, it did not appear literarily but he could feel it. The divine repository is exuding a faint divine aura akin to the aura of Allen's Divine Mark.

However, in the next moment, Cold Wind heard one of the Dark Elves say, "report it to the dark queen."

Only at this moment did Cold Wind realize that the Dark Elves that he encountered on the way are small figures. The big ones are yet to arrive.

He saw one of the Dark Elves take out a talisman. Then, that Dark Elf spoke, "there is an intruder in the divine repository."

Weeeeennnnnngggg!

He tried to stop it; however, he is not fast enough.

Therefore, the only thing that he could do is to rush into the divine repository.

However, before he did so, Cold Wind played a captivating and soul entrancing melody that made all the Dark Elves that heard it see a flash of their lives in their eyes as they die.

Meanwhile, as Cold Wind move towards the divine repository, the Divine Mark warned him of danger.

A/N: how? You will know if you have a Divine Mark.

He halted his steps and retreated but he is too late.

The protection of the divine repositories had been activated. However, it is not protection granted by the Divine Spirit but protection made by the Dark Elves to prevent the intruders from entering.

The demonic energies in the surrounding surged. Then, from where he is standing, spikes sprouted and attempted to pierce through him.

Fortunately, he was able to evade it. However, his mount is was pierced.

In the next second, he felt that extreme closeness with the Divine Mark.

However, he disregarded this because of the urgency.

Using his harp, he created a melody that pierced the soul of the Dark Elves.

But this time, his attack is a lot more powerful.

He was stunned for a second by this. However, as he felt his closeness with the Divine Mark, he understood.

"It must have boosted my attack."

For the second time, Cold Wind was stunned to discover another one of the wonders of following a Divine Spirit.

With that, he unceasingly plucked the strings of his harp and created a gorgeous melody.

With the boost of the Divine Mark, even the nonliving things are affected.

The ground quaked and the dust flew. Then, all the traps placed for the protection of the divine repository near him were destroyed or deactivated.

At this moment, he started to go near the divine repository to do his thing. However, he did not stop playing his harp.

Step by step, he walked into the door of the repository.

In his front, there lays the gigantic door. The door of the divine.

The door is ten feet tall. However, it was not mounted to any walls and such.

It might be weird; however, the divine repository is part of the shrine and was protected by it.

It is also evident that it has a space on its own inside the door.

As Cold Wind approached it. The symbols embedded in it began to glow.

Then, at this time, Cold Wind did not need to do anything. The Divine Mark released a wisp of divine energy which triggered the lock of the door.

As that happened, Allen was connected to the divine repository.

Then…
