Wrath of Infernog
Infernog, the great immortal monarch, has awoken and has his eyes set on demolishing the fledgling Maple Alliance. This ancient foe cannot be defeated through conventional means, but the brilliant minds on the Sky Fortress have come up with an audacious plan: Send out a band of brave heroes to hold Infernog at bay while the Sky Fortress' main gun charges up to destroy Infernog, or at least blast it into orbit!
The brand-new Wrath of Infernog Chaos Raid requires a 9,000 Gear Score and the Trusted reputation with the Maple Alliance to enter. Band together with your most talented allies to take on the brand new Chaos Raid, Wrath of Infernog!
