"G-God h-has l-left..." one of them finally spoke with a shaky breath. "He waited for you for a few minutes, then grew impatient."
"Not only that, b-but... he said he's docking your pay for ten months. You won't receive a single coin in that time, and you're also banned from using any of the Sacrificial Divine Arts. He said it's to 'teach you a lesson.'"
"He's gone to the Drifting World for his next sermon..."
The clerics' faces were pale with fear, knowing full well what this meant. The God of Sacrifice had warned them: no matter how well his sermon in the Drifting World went, the Grey World's performance would be dead last in his divine assessments.
