"Ah---"

A scream of agony echoed in the cramped space.

This was the Holy Light Cathedral's Underground Confessional Room, a place for sinful souls to confess to the Supreme Lord.

As stated in The Divine Book of Glory, all sins would be forgiven here, as long as you sincerely confess everything to the Supreme Lord.

Thwack!

A whip soaked with fresh blood viciously whipped across the pure white back of a young girl, causing delicate skin to break open.

Another chilling scream was emitted, enough to elicit sympathy from even the most cold-hearted listeners.

However, not a shred of mercy could be seen in Pope Gregory, the one wielding the whip. His face was filled with distorted pleasure.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

The whip came down like a torrential rain. The girl's cries grew weaker until her voice was gone completely, and she fainted.

Gregory continued to whip the girl a couple more times, causing blood to splatter onto the angelic murals on the wall, staining them red.
