Hello mighty warriors! A massive number of newcomers have come from all around the world to the evil kingdom of the darkness. The game is growing thanks to you all, and to celebrate I've created new content with a massive challenge with some more new features. "Breaking A Punished Soul" is a totally new gameplay experience where you challengers will have to defend a discovered great gemstone until it is totally depleted by the miners. However you won't be alone, dozens of enemies have been attracted by the great shining precious stone and they will want to claim a piece of the cake. Challengers not only have to fight, but also will have to make their own strategy with swiftness in order to repel the mobs successfully. Do not panic, you can always request for the new useful supplies at the new guild store, just make sure to not spend much on reinforcements or the gemstone will be consumed in debts.
