Story
Masarayu was a man who had everything, his fortunes matched those of Gold Richie, and he had nothing to fear. Then one day, he heard about Ursus, a beast who displayed the very power and anger of nature itself. Ursus cared not for wealth nor riches, and his shear power made Masarayu dub him "The Mighty". A bounty was put on Ursus's head, and now heroes and adventurers line up to fight him in droves.

Battle Overview
