Classic - 2.8 Update

Apheta Beluslan

1. A new field, Apheta Beluslan, has been added.

Apheta Beluslan is a space that was created in the process of Tiamat testing the power of singularity she discovered in Balaurea.

In Apheta Beluslan, a mad scientist who betrayed the Daevas is conducting research on a singularity resembling Ciel’s power.

In the process, the singularity turned into a polluted darkness that contaminated the whole Beluslan and transformed its whole environment.

As in the case of Talos, the Daevas who discovered the anomaly decided to dispatch a large fleet rather than individuals to investigate.

Apheta Beluslan, the place where Daevas arrived, has the same appearance as Beluslan, where the place between the Elyos and Asmodians took place in the past but with subtle distortions and differences in wildlife can be observed. After confirming the presents of Tiamat’s Legion, and their attempt to extract the singularity similar to Siel’s Relic, Asmodians and Elyos use their fleet as temporary bases and confront the Tiamat’s Legion.
