The Priest closed his eyes, activating his hidden skill, Peer (SSS).

He had deliberately told everyone that his skill was merely S-rank. This deception was crucial because if the cult leader knew about the true, SSS-rank power of his skill,
the Priest would always be under the cult leader's constant, suspicious watch, his every move scrutinized.
