Chapter 169 169: Heavenly Fire Prepared, Judgment Awaits All
"By the Dwarven King, you're finally here!" Veijander exclaimed in relief upon seeing Orson.
A system notification popped up:
"You have received the Level 30 Legendary Set [Holy Heretic Crusher]."
"You have received the Level 30 Legendary Set [Holy Shadowbane Guard]."
"You have received... Lost · Heart of the Flame Dragon six-piece set!"
"It's done!" Orson's heart leapt with joy. He had prepared for the worst, but Veijander had pulled through!
Before Orson could examine the equipment's attributes, district-wide announcements began flooding in:
"Due to the declaration of war in Pondenorlin..."
"The Warrior Guild has withdrawn."
"The Priest Guild has withdrawn..."
Three large magical warships appeared in the sky, each bearing the emblem of its respective guild: the Mage Guild, the Warrior Guild, the Riding Earth Guild, and the Thieves' Guild. NPCs from these organizations were evacuating en masse.
Orson steadied himself, his gaze shifting toward the city walls. Guards who usually spent their days lazing around were now clad in heavy armor, bristling with readiness.
The purpose of this preparation was clear—it wasn't for their own defense but to stand against someone else.
Noticing that the Priest and Archer Guilds had yet to evacuate, Orson chuckled to himself, "So, they're staying behind?"
Meanwhile, in the global chat, the conversation was in chaos:
Player XX: "Can we even play the game anymore? My main storyline quest is still incomplete. Do I have to wait for this war to end?"
ThunderStrike: "See? This is what happens when Godslayer Guild becomes too powerful. Ruining everyone's grind—typical Triple Crown behavior!"
Player XX: "Damn it, he gets to have fun while we ordinary players suffer!"
DonutWizard: "Relax. The UJ server players are here to handle the problem. Orson's days are numbered."
Fearful Pleb: "Finally, someone who understands. Wedge had the foresight to bring in UJ players. Let's hope they push Orson into quitting!"
SirLagsALot: "Are you all insane? The UJ invaders are at our doorstep, and you're siding with them?"
Fearful Pleb: "Oh, look, a simp defending his precious Orgod. Pathetic."

Scrolling further, Orson noticed an additional note under the equipment's description:
Six-piece set bonus, Awakening Skill 2: Dragon Curse Howl
Effect: Consumes 5000 MP to grant the user and allies the Howl aura. While active, A-grade and lower skills have no cooldown or MP cost. The aura lasts for 20 seconds, with a cooldown of 20 minutes. (Item/gear-based MP regeneration is nullified during this period, and 5% of total MP is consumed per second.)
"Infinite firepower for 20 seconds..." Orson chuckled.
Most mages at this stage didn't even have 5000 MP, let alone enough to sustain the full duration of this ability. Only someone with his setup could fully unleash its potential.
Still, the mana drain was brutal, effectively forcing him to deplete his entire MP pool. Once activated, there was no turning back—he would be vulnerable to counterattacks as a depleted mage.
After allocating his remaining stat points to Magic Attack, Orson equipped the Flame Dragon Mage Set and opened his character sheet.

Draped in a dark red dragon-scale robe, nine fiery orbs floated around him like miniature suns. His black crown, crafted from dragon horns, shimmered with crimson energy, giving him an otherworldly aura.
The staff, forged from intertwining dragon spines, bore a massive red Dragon Crystal at its tip. Every detail of his gear exuded luxury and menace.
Standing atop his awe-inspiring mount, the Crimson Lizard King, Orson gazed down at the world, a fiery demon priest poised to deliver judgment to all who dared oppose him.
