Various additional monsters will appear in "Ver.2.0"!

Following "Onazuchi" and "Nushi Rioreus" whose appearance has already been confirmed, three new additional monsters will appear. Prepare for more monsters!

A ferocious old dragon that exhales a scorching breath and wears flames. Because of its appearance, it is called "Flame King Dragon". The temperament is rough, and those who face each other from the front will be exposed to the fire without exception. Being a very dangerous monster, the guild is always on the lookout for movement.

A dragon with a characteristic metallic outer shell, it is called a "steel dragon." It is said that he wears the wind, calls a storm, and keeps no one near him. The power of the storm is just a disaster. With its appearance, the entire area is in danger of collapsing.

An old dragon with extremely few sightings. The reason is said to be the ability to disappear freely, and it is also known as the "Kasumi Dragon."

In addition, it has been confirmed that it spits out a special mist-like breath when angry, and its unique ability and unusual movement are unique.

A horn dragon bearing the name of "Nushi". Scars as if caught in a storm can be seen all over the body, and it seems that anger and fear are always dominated. The horns are significantly more developed than normal individuals, and the destructive power of the rush knocks the opponent to the bottom of despair.

A fire dragon bearing the name of "Nushi". Scars as if caught in a storm can be seen all over the body, and it seems that anger and fear are always dominated. The throat is significantly more developed than a normal individual, and the breath of fiery flames emanating from it turns the entire area into scorched earth.

New weapons and armor will also be added. Let's subdue and produce!
