Grim Nexus
You will be the sacrifice!
Alternative title: 혼돈의 흑신목
Available Difficulties: 1 - 20
Years ago, Yesena, mother of Yunwa and sister of Yehara, was thought to have been tragically murdered by the Grimhorn Tribe while passing through the swamps outside of town. Her trapped spirit remained at Lotus Lake until freed by Jyansei.
As time went by and Yesana's birthday came near, her sister came to mourn, bringing a bouquet in Yesana's honour. Unfortunately, the visit was brief, as the Grimhorn quickly ambushed and attacked Yehara. During the brawl, the Grimhorn kept reciting some sort of incantation of ritualistic and dark nature. As the Grimhorn made their retreat, all that was left was Yehara and a mysterious stone imbued with Chaos, dropped by a Grimhorn ritualist.
Thanks to So Gabok, the Grimhorn was soon traced to an abandoned shrine and more notably, a giant tree, massive enough to contain a world of shadowed secrets. Faint whispered laments of trapped spirits could be heard from deep within the forest. Something very dark was happening, something far beyond the Grimhorn's usual barbaric behaviour.
Follow the path into the ruined woods of Grim Nexus and find an entrance into its bark to uncover the Grimhorn's secrets. Be wary, as the Grimhorn Tribe appears to be fusing Chaos and Dark Chi, making them more dangerous than ever.
