Imperium City, the following morning.
On the high clock tower of the cathedral, a priest climbed up the ladder, and then, after arriving within the golden bell, he picked up a large hammer and began ringing the bell loudly.
Its echoing sounds extended to every corner of the city, waking up even the deepest sleepers.
The cathedral's doors slowly creaked open, revealing a breathtaking view of the sun rising over the horizon.
"Ah~" A bishop stood in the doorway, feeling the sun's kiss on his hairless head.
He let out a pleasant-sounding hum and then went by the altar to start the morning service. The cathedral was still empty of parishioners, but the bishop knew they would start arriving soon.
It was at that moment that the cathedral's doors slammed shut with a loud bang, startling the bishop and causing him to drop the holy water.
The flask of holy water shattered on the cold stone floor, spilling its contents everywhere.
