Four More Steps

Sheyan gasped heavily for breath like a labourer who had been slaving away for a whole day.

His neck, legs, and arms had translucent shackles of light on them. The words that would come to mind when one looked at these shackles were thick, violent and crude. Connected to the shackles were thick chains, all pulled taut, with the other ends of the chains attached to some large holy objects emitting a great amount of holy light. The light was so bright that the real appearance of the objects could not be seen.

As the holy light gradually faded away, the five great holy objects were finally visible. They were a huge Bible, the True Cross, the Ark of the Covenant, the Crown of Thorns, and the Lance of Longinus. These five gigantic holy objects were all flying in different directions at the same time. If Sheyan did not have enough strength to resist, he would inevitably be split apart.
