Slayer

Lore

 

    The Slayers are descendants of the ancient knights who were known as the "Abyss Knights." These Abyss Knights were renowned warriors who were charged with the duty of protecting the continent of Mu from evil forces. They dedicated their lives to battling darkness and preserving peace.
    Over time, the power of the Abyss Knights became tainted by darkness, and they eventually fell to corruption. However, a group of knights managed to resist the corrupting influence and remained loyal to their cause. These noble knights were known as the "Berserkers."
    The Berserkers were determined to cleanse their tainted lineage and rid the world of evil. They ventured into the abyss and engaged in fierce battles against the demonic forces within. Through their unwavering determination and exceptional combat skills, they emerged victorious and purified their bloodline.
    These purified knights became the Slayers, inheriting the power and legacy of their Abyss Knight ancestors. They embodied the essence of valor, strength, and righteousness. The Slayers swore to protect the continent of Mu and its inhabitants from any threat that might arise.
Equipped with their mighty weapons, Slayers embarked on a lifelong journey, battling demons, monsters, and other malicious entities that sought to plunge the world into chaos. They honed their combat skills to perfection, becoming masters of close-quarters combat.
    The Slayers' combat style focuses on brute force and swift strikes, allowing them to deal devastating damage to their enemies. They possess an innate ability to tap into their inner energy, unleashing powerful combo attacks that can annihilate their foes. They can withstand formidable attacks and protect their comrades, earning a reputation as dependable protectors on the battlefield.
    Throughout their adventures, Slayers uncover ancient artifacts and forgotten knowledge that further augment their powers. They delve into dungeons, conquer challenging quests, and participate in epic battles to prove their worth and earn their place as legendary heroes of Mu.
