Chapter 104: C104 The Plague Priest Meets The Divine Projection

Three days had passed, Allen's Divine projection, Milo, and Cyril are still inside the tomb. They are exploring the tomb; discovering the secrets and logics behind it.

Meanwhile, outside the tomb, the Plague River Church is still waiting for their scouts to return. However, they are getting anxious.

It's been already two days since Milo and Cyril went inside. They are yet to get out.

"How are they?" the Plague Priest asked Alastar.

Alastar is the person second only to Plague Priest in the Plague River Church. He is Plague Priest's right hand.

"I'm not sure. My threads are still connected to them. but strangely, since they entered the tomb cannot tell what was on the other end of the thread. All I know is that they are still there," Alastar replied with a worried expression.

Sigh! "We should probably stop worrying. Our Lord the Divine Spirit of Life and Death is compassionate to his followers," the Plague Priest said.

He did not say it without basis. He had already experienced it many times. As long as they are faithful, their Lord would always help them.

"Prepare yourselves, we'll enter the tomb at dawn tomorrow."

After a while, the Plague Priest had made up his mind. It could not be denied that he has worries; however, he knew that their Lord is helping the two.

…

Time passed, the Plague River Church is equipped with their gears and weapons. They are waiting for dawn break at the entrance of the tomb.

The entrance of the tomb is erected with columns. And, on each of the columns, there is a statue of a hawk-headed man standing on them. However, unlike normal tombs, they are looking towards the tomb.

Then, atop the entrance, there are engraved Egyptian words.

"Makram, can you read these?" Alastar asked.

Makram is one of the new members of the church. Before he became a member, he was an archeologist looking for the remains of gods.

When the Plague Priest met him, the words of the Plague Priest still lingered on his mind. "Why look for the gods of the past when there is one in the present?"

Meanwhile, Makram answered, "yes."

Then, he focused on the words and read them.

His brain worked at a wonderful speed as he remembered the things that he had seen and heard before. Then after a while, he already knew the engraved words.

"Beware: those who seek the darkness shall never see the light again."

"What does that mean?" Alastar asked.

"The light in ancient Egypt relates to their god Ra, the Sun God. Then, the hawk-headed statue there also depicted the Sun God." He paused for a while to take a breath, then continued.

"Judging on where the statues are looking, the sun God is not looking over to what's inside. Rather, it was looking over to whoever tried to enter. Meaning whatever is inside the tomb is dangerous."

Hearing what he said, the Plague Priest and all the members of the Plague River Church felt chills on their back.

"We have to hurry," the Plague Priest urged them.

The Plague River Church has about fifty members.

"My Lord, Divine Spirit of Life and Death, help us on our journey. Guide us as we explore the tomb. Grant us your Divine protection."

The Plague Priest prayed loudly while the others prayed silently.

Then, as they were about to leave, Alastar used his ability on them. With a surge of faith energy, he attached his threads to all of the members of the church that will be entering the tomb.

After that, the members of the church are ready to enter. Meanwhile, Alastar and six more members stayed. This is the rule of the church. There must be someone to be left behind. That someone will treat the injuries of the one that came back. At the same time, they will also serve as reinforcement.

Just as they entered the tomb, they were attacked by something that looked like a cloud of black smoke.

Fortunately, the Plague Priest reacted fast enough, and also, at the same time, the Divine Mark cooperated with him.

Plague Priest stabbed his broadsword on the floor. Then, with the aid of the Divine energy from the Divine Mark, the sword released an aura that served as the barrier against the black smoke.

Then, the Divine Mark suddenly trembled in excitement.

This scene is not new to the Plague Priest, this always happens when Allen, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death is around.

Thus, while holding his broadsword, the Plague Priest kneeled and reverently said, "Lord Divine Spirit of Life and Death, we are fortunate to be graced by your presence."

The other member was momentarily stunned but on the next second, they did as the Plague Priest did and said the same words.

"Lord Divine Spirit of Life and Death, we are fortunate to be graced by your presence."

As they said that, the aura coming from the Plague Priest's sword intensified further blocking the black smoke which is the mummy a while ago.

Cleopatra gave up his body and dissolved it to add into his spirit form.

Then, from the depths of the tomb, a glowing doll flew towards them followed by the teleportation of Milo and Cyril inside the protection of the Divine aura from Plague Priest's broadsword.

A/N: the broadsword is an item that could harness Divine and faith from one of the expeditions of the Plague River Church.

At this time, the smoke materialized into a figure of a woman. If they did not see here in a form of a smoke a while ago, the men from the Plague River Church would have been already captivated.

Meanwhile, the Plague Priest was looking at the 'doll' with gleaming eyes.

However, it would be wrong to call it a doll because it exudes holiness that would not dare them to look at it. At the same time, they could feel its immense strength, glory, and divinity. Their seeds of faithfulness were stirred and were very excited.

He knew that his Lord is still not at his peak, thus he was not surprised to see the doll. However, he knew that it was not his Lord. It was just a representation.

Nevertheless, he was glad to be graced by the presence of his Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death.
