Altar of Blood

Last Edited on : Jul 10, 2019, 10:07 (UTC+8)

The Altar of Blood is a defense game-mode where you defend the Altar against an enormous number of monsters and bosses in every Illusion stage. 

 

The monsters become increasingly powerful as you ascend from the 1st Ilusion to the 10th Illusion in the Altar of Blood.  

Adventurers that enter the Altar of Blood must defeat all these monsters to prevent the relic from being destroyed.

* The Altar of Blood is the final whereabouts of the Immortal Alchemist, Caphras. Records show that long ago this altar is where human sacrifices were performed for the ancient Kzarka. It was sealed away with the power of the Gem of Balance, and it is said that ultimate power can be obtained through this relic that calls forth dark illusions.
