"Who do you think you are to deny donations to our holy church? You damned infidel! Do you think you won't burn in the fires of eternal damnation?" The old woman yelled, pounding the table violently.
Although she looked frail, she was a seventh-ring mage, equivalent to the Enlightened Soul Realm, and was much stronger than most of the guards in that place.
