Cleric

Cleric is a job class that hailed originally from YGGDRASIL. The religious role and principle of clerics seems to apparently differ among human nations in the New World.

Background
Like Priests, Clerics worshiped a certain God and would used magic in their name. For instance, they recite verbal incantations when utilizing their magic spells. For that reason, they and the priests are usually the ones who calls upon god’s miracles through the use of divine magic.Overlord First Half Chapter 5: Magic
