A piercing alarm jolted Ritchie awake.
He almost instantly flipped upright, his right hand clutching the 'Beheader' hand half-sword next to the bed, a standard weapon forged by a Dwarf Artisan. It was a hybrid sword, usable as both a one-handed and two-handed sword, inscribed with the 'Purgatory Fire' rune, which could attach fire damage when activated. Naturally, Ritchie's ideal was to one day wield the Interstellar Battle Group's 'Plasma Sword'. Although he didn't know the principle behind such a weapon, he had witnessed the Owl decapitate a powerful Legendary Evil Object with it, the ethereal blue flame was quite striking.
Ritchie quickly donned the Purgatory Roar Type III, along with Power Bracelet, Constitution Talisman, Agile Gloves, and other gear, completing the process in less than five seconds.
"Emergency assembly!"
