For a moment, countless beams of white light fell upon Jessica, and a bright flame descended from the sky, landing softly around her neck.
A tri-layered fire mark appeared on the collar of her robe.
The Bishop nodded contentedly and walked over to Tai Luo.
"May the light shine upon us forever!"
Tai Luo bowed, proclaiming loudly, "May the fire burn eternal, may the heroes never perish."
White light and flames fell upon him as well, and a tri-layered fire mark likewise appeared on his collar.
With an approving gaze, the Bishop turned to Rod, looked him up and down, then said with a smile, "You are an unexpected choice, congratulations to you, Black Glutton Rod."
Rod's mouth twitched as he dryly said, "Thank you."
The Bishop's expression turned solemn.
"May the Holy Fire always protect you."
Mimicking the others, Rod bowed and said, "As long as humanity endures, the flames will never extinguish, and dawn shall surely arrive."
