Chương 90: 090 Coming-of-age Ceremony_1

"This is the body of the Lord, sacrificed for us, you should partake of it."

The Archbishop's voice echoed in the quiet and solemn church hall.

Vera respectfully took the sacrament (unleavened bread) handed to her by the Archbishop and put it in her mouth.

"This is the blood of the Lord, spilled for us, you should drink of it."

The Archbishop then handed Vera a cup of pure holy water.

Vera drank it all at once.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, humans were far from the dominant species they are now.

In those times, humans were not only oppressed and enslaved by various alien races but also targeted by numerous demons.
