307 162. Yet Another Beginning (Part One)

A baby resembling a monster was dangling on the wall.

Chains bound its limbs tightly, while streams of holy water filled the cell's floor.

There was a fountain near the infant's head that gushed out holy water constantly.

Kirum sensed that Second Imperial Prince Ruppel was still faintly breathing.

'He's still alive!'

In all honesty, Kirum had not been feeling all that confident of their odds. He heard that without Timong's aid, the baby's body wouldn't even have lasted one year before melting down into a puddle.

So it wouldn't have been all that surprising for Ruppel to have broken down into some sticky goo by now, yet here he was, still somehow clinging to life despite going through all those torture sessions.

Although, he sure looked like he'd die soon anyway, from the way he had withered so much.

This process was what the Priests called a Purification Ceremony.
