Ancient God in the Modern World

After the Divine energy wafted and eliminated the mummies, the members of the Plague River Church picked back their weapons.

After that, they began setting up the place to become their temporary dwelling. They set up a small campfire and tents and such for the night.

Then, after that, they began their scheduled prayer.

This is one of the most important parts of their lives, the prayer.

They usually start their day with a devotional study and a prayer. Then ends it with a prayer.

Meanwhile, on the next morning, after they started their day, they continued on their journey.

The Plague River Church is pursuing a witch into the depths of an Egyptian tomb.

Why? The Plague Priest got word that a lady is practicing witchcraft. She revives death to life in a form of undead and controls the mummies. Aside from that, she is also using human sacrifices to boost her prowess.

Furthermore, in the eyes of the Plague River Church, using human lives to increase one's powers is forbidden. Although they are allowed to kill, exploiting death is forbidden. It is a breach in the authority of their Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death.

"That bitch! Death should not be treated this way. She is challenging the authority of our Lord. We must find her and eliminate her," the Plague Priest sternly said as he flared in anger.

"My priest, this place restricts our faith energy." One of the members of the Plague River Church commented.

However, Plague Priest did not see this one as a problem. Rather, he considered this as training. However, the results could only be noticed when they are already out.

"Scouts, go on ahead of us. Be careful, and don't forget to call onto our Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death."

The Plague Priest did not forget to remind the scout of the must-do as he sent them.

The job of a scout is not a walk in the park. Well, maybe it is but the park is not a normal park. Rather, a dangerous park.

"Got it, priest. We'll be careful," said Milo.

Milo is one of the two scouts of the Plague River Church. Yes, the Plague River Church only has two scouts. However, Plague Priest could not ask for more. They are the ones with the perfect ability for scouting.

Milo has a cheat-like ability of teleportation. While, the other one, Cyril, he has energy eyes.

One with the perfect ability for traveling and escape and one with the perfect ability for exploration and study.

However, even with those, it is still rather difficult to be a scout.

Furthermore, the two of them are new recruits.

As the Plague River Church continued with their quest, they are also gaining new followers. However, along with the addition, there are a few unfortunate ones for the subtraction.

Indeed, some had already died along the way.

"Come on, Cyril."

With that Milo and Cyril disappeared on the Plague Priest and the rest's vision.

"What do you think of the both of them?" the man closest to the Plague Priest asked.

This man could be said, as Plague Priest's right hand. He is an 'old-timer' that had been with him since they first set out.

"I am not sure. But I hope our Lord will favor them just as he favored our gang."

…

Meanwhile, Milo and Cyril reappeared inside an Egyptian tomb. However, the place looked like a hotel. An old-fashioned hotel.

As of now, the duo is walking in the corridor. There were many statues lined on both sides. Then at the end, there is a door covered with a white hue.

As the duo noticed the hue on the door, only then, did they notice that the corridor has a light, for some reason, but there were no sources of light like torches, lamps, light bulbs, and such. Furthermore, they did not have shadows on the door.

"Strange, why don't we have shadows?" Milo asked.

"I don't know, there seemed to be a strange energy wafting in the air," Cyril answered while he was using his mana eyes.

His pupils are glowing in a white hue. However, it could not pick up something useful. Or rather, Cyril is not familiar with the energy.

"This is strange, it seemed that this whole place is a trap!" Cyril exclaimed as he realized what is this place.

"Shit!"

Meanwhile, Milo did not waste any moment and quickly used his ability on both of them. However, things did not turn out as they pleased.

He managed to teleport both of them. however, they did not get out of the tomb. Rather they appeared in a random place inside the tomb.

"What just happened?" Milo is confused.

This is the first time that his ability failed him. Supposedly, he would just have to think of his destination and he would already be there in a blink of an eye.

Then, for the second time, he tried again. However, the result is still the same. He did not arrive at the place where he wanted to go.

"Milo, I get it now. This place is a prison. It won't let anyone inside go out."

Cyril finally understood the energy formation. However, it was rather useless. There is nothing they could do. Well, on their own, there is indeed nothing. But they knew someone who could help them.

"Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death, cast your eyes into us. Help us with our predicament. Guide us to find the exit."

Both Cyril and Milo clasped their hands and prayed.

Meanwhile, Allen who was fixing his things in the Asgardian realm heard the prayer. Then, he took a short moment from his precious time and cast his eyes on its source.

His eyes widened as he knew that the place where both Milo and Cyril were in had a faint connection to the staff that Cold Wind and General Bren had gotten.

"It seemed that I have a great affinity with the staff and the secrets behind it."

Based on what is the seed of faithfulness from the two of them are showing him, he knew that this places a tomb. However, things are not seemed to be simple as that.

Unfortunately, he could not explore further than that because of the limitation from the two's seed of faithfulness.

Since they are new members, their seeds of faithfulness are yet to sprout.. They are still a regular follower at the ranks of a believer.
