Elemental Knights Official X

Public Relations Managed by the Former 'Strongest' Monster 'Zil'

Starting July 2026, 'Zildiarix', the former strongest monster from the deepest part of the Verk Ruins, has taken on the role of PR manager on the official X account. His daily posts—filled with the melancholy of being dethroned after 17 years of game inflation—have gone viral. Despite protesting, 'I wasn't consulted, who authorized this?', he's now promoting his own plushie with clumsy hand-drawn illustrations.
