"You have obtained the Forbidden Magic-tier accessory: [Ancient Mage God Jebustan's Magic Necklace]."
"You have obtained Dragon Crystal x2."
"You have obtained Dragon Horn..."
Orson's eyes lit up. It was this equipment!
[Jebustan's Magic Necklace]
Quality: Forbidden Magic
Level: 40
Class: Mage
Effect 1: Skill cooldown -20%
Effect 2: MP maximum +100%
Effect 3: Excess Reserve, can infuse personal MP to charge.
Current rechargeable MP: 230,000. MP will automatically replenish when consumption exceeds 50-99%.
A 40-level Forbidden Magic necklace had an incredible drop rate, even in the late stages of the game.
The Ancient Mage God series had once driven countless wealthy mages crazy. The necklace offered a high blue mana percentage increase, while rings provided high mana recovery.
It could drastically enhance the mana regeneration for most mages lacking in that department.
For mages at this stage, having 10,000 mana was already considered exceptional. With a percentage boost to mana, that could double to an extra 10,000 mana, making a huge difference.
This was impressive, right?
But for Orson, this Forbidden Magic necklace was becoming something monstrous in his hands...
With an MP cap of 110,000+, and the percentage mana bonus, his MP was overflowing, reaching a terrifying 230,000!
Such an exaggerated amount of mana meant that the Burn effect attached to his Chaos talent could deal 23,000 burn damage per second.
However, what truly excited Orson was the necklace's Effect 3, "Excess Reserve."
Currently, the best MP potions restored only around 3,000 MP, and it took 5 seconds to fully restore, with a cooldown limit.
But with "Excess Reserve," when his MP was depleted, he could instantly recharge it to full.
"This accessory combined with the Dragon Curse Howl of Fury... I dare not even think about it."
Orson smiled faintly. With the six-piece Heavenly Fire set awakened, he had unlimited firepower for 20 seconds, with a 5% MP drain every second.
Normally, after 20 seconds, a player would enter a vulnerable sage state, easy to be killed.
But with Excess Reserve, if he filled the [Jebustan's Magic Necklace] with mana in advance, it was like having a super power bank.
Orson equipped the Forbidden Magic necklace and checked his stats.
Character: Orgod
Race: Human
Level: 47
Magical Attack: 3,000
HP: 19,000/19,000
MP: 230,000/230,000
Attack Speed: 4.1
Agility: 120
Defense: 400/30% damage reduction
Crit Rate: 50%
Range: 10,400 meters
Free Attribute Points: 1,100
Skill Points: 80
...
Orson decisively allocated 1,000 points to attack, raising his magical attack to 4,000.
The remaining 100 points were evenly distributed between agility and attack speed, increasing his crit rate by 2% and attack speed by 0.2.
Although the increase was not massive, combining it with the 21x crit rate would make his stats incredibly efficient.
"Divine Dragon Heart..."
Orson was about to check the next black-glowing loot when a furious roar echoed through the fortress: "I'll kill you! Mortal!!!"
A terrifying dragon breath surged toward him. Orson immediately grabbed all the loot, activating his jetpack to flee.
"Warning! Because you killed four giant dragons from The Flame Dragon's Nest, The Flame Dragon Nest Master Furnace Greed has entered a berserk state!"
"It will ignore all player taunt skills and hate-locks!"
"It will target only you!"
A series of warning messages rang out.
"Orson, run! I can't hold its aggro!" Nightshade shouted, controlling the Titan Mech and constantly launching rockets at Furnace Greed.
Explosions rang out, the mech dishing out tons of damage, but The Flame Dragon Nest Master completely ignored the attacks and charged straight toward Orson.
"Roar!!"
At the same time, a chilling scream echoed.
Orson frowned. The Crimson Lizard King, under attack by three Earth Dragons, was almost at death's door, with less than six million HP left!
Crit -30,000!
-12,000!
Crit -20,000!
Blood spurted from the Crimson Lizard King as its long tail was smashed by a giant mountain, half its body crushed.
Despite enduring the Guardian Enluka's rock-and-mud dragon breath, it forced itself into the air, attempting to reach its master.
But as it took off, one of its wings was torn off by an Earth Dragon, temporarily losing its ability to fly. The dragon's claws gripped tightly onto the Crimson Lizard King's belly.
It ruthlessly used the dragon's talent skill, Deadly Bite, tearing open a bloody wound over ten meters long across the Crimson Lizard King's abdomen.
Bradley gasped: "No! Crimson Lizard King can't hold on much longer!"
"Hurry up and save the big lizard!"
"Forget it, we can't wait any longer, let's go out and protect the Guildmaster's beast!"
Dancing Giant Boobs and the other life players rushed out of the maze. Madman frowned and scolded: "What are you all doing here? Don't just add to the chaos!"
A group of women didn't care about that, grabbing sniper rifles and magical Gatling guns, aiming them at Earth Dragon Enluka.
Dancing Giant Boobs: "Aim for weak spots like the wings, eyes, etc. We don't need to kill it, just draw its aggro!"
Gunshots rang out, over a hundred Godslayer life players firing at once.
Magical energy soared into the sky, exploding on the weakened Earth Dragon's body.
Magic Petrification!
The wounded Earth Dragon realized the danger and its massive body radiated gray light, activating its petrification defense.
-8,000
-700
Crit -1,100
Block!
Dancing Giant Boobs and the others were shocked. Even the anti-Hulk sniper rifle couldn't break through 10,000 damage, and the magical Gatling gun barely scratched its defense.
Magical tools were powerful against players, but against the Earth Dragon's formidable defense, they were clearly insufficient.
Meanwhile, Orson activated his jetpack once more, moving erratically under a pillar of flame.
At the right moment, he swung his Heavenly Fire Staff, continuously firing Chaos Magic Balls with zombie-like basic attacks.
With the Whisper of the Wind effect, he unleashed six basic attacks per second, each Chaos Magic Ball connecting into a straight line, continually smashing into Furnace Greed.
Dragon Blood Unit damage +100%
-7,000
-7,000
Crit -150,000!
Burn -38,000!
With the God-Emperor Earring, Dragon Blood Unit damage was doubled, and a single basic attack crit easily dealt an astounding 150,000 damage!
Even the thick-skinned dragons would feel their scalps tingle at such damage.
Orson looked back and saw Crimson Lizard King trying to rise again, only to be knocked down by Enluka. Its HP dropped to below four million!
"Body Domination recovery," Orson said coldly.
Crimson Lizard King's bloodshot eyes widened, and with a furious roar, it immediately recovered half of its HP.
Using its immunity to knockbacks, stuns, and other debuffs, Crimson Lizard King charged through the attacking mountains, trying to break free.
"Don't let it escape!"
Guardian Enluka sneered, flapping its wings, while the three Earth Dragons used Body Domination together, relentlessly clinging to Crimson Lizard King.
Although Body Domination could resist negative effects, it didn't make one invincible.
In a battle of giants, the larger creatures always had the upper hand in close combat.
Moreover, with three Earth Dragons attacking simultaneously, they used sheer brute force to hold back the smaller Crimson Lizard King, preventing it from flying.
"Slaying this thing means cutting off Orgod's right-hand beast!"
"SSR members, take action! Focus fire on Orgod's beast!"
"Unmatched guild, kill them all! And take down that Earth Dragon!"
"Orgod is in danger, I must interfere!"
Seeing an opportunity to weaken Orson's power, players from hidden guilds sprang into action.
Hundreds of mixed-blood wyverns, mutated lizards, and other flying beasts took off.
The SSR and their allies, consisting of over a thousand ranged players, rushed to Crimson Lizard King's location.
Even knowing they would likely be hit by dragon breath, they didn't care!
"Finally, you guys are grouping up."
Orson's face turned cold as he raised his Heavenly Fire Staff: "Awakened Judgment..."
But as the skill began to materialize, the enemy guilds seemed to sense the danger, quickly dispersing to avoid the attack.
At the same time, an SSR barrier master launched a barrier field, blocking the Ice Prison Ring's freezing effects.
Orson shrugged, clearly amused, "Got smarter, huh?"
In an instant, a massive wave of magic, combined with thousands of arrows, rained down on Crimson Lizard King.
Though the individual strength of a few thousand players wasn't much, when they combined their firepower, even an Earth Dragon couldn't withstand it.
At the current rate, it seemed inevitable that Crimson Lizard King would be surrounded and killed.
Madman shouted, "Damn it, I can't wait any longer! Charge in and deal with them!"
Seeing this, Madman grew anxious. The Godslayer main force and Supreme Guild members charged out of the maze, preparing to counter-attack the SSR alliance's encirclement.
DonutWizard sneered coldly, "This is what I've been waiting for. All battle vehicles, move out! Block them!"
The golden battle vehicles, over a hundred in total, rumbled as they charged out from the watchtower direction.
With a wicked grin, DonutWizard added, "Without your flying beasts, Orgod will be useless!"
His strategy was brilliant. The battle vehicles, carrying over three hundred elite knights, with massive shields raised, charged headlong into the Godslayer alliance.
Their goal wasn't to destroy them, but to delay them for a few minutes. This would give the ranged players and Earth Dragons time to finish off Crimson Lizard King.
Seeing this, Orson couldn't help but smile more playfully, muttering to himself, "Do you really think this is enough to win?"
