Ti had passed. The battle between the challenger of the Tower and Commander Cargan and his troops was reaching its peak. It was a spectacle, but the great disadvantage of the Sand People in this sand temple was that they didn't have any active skills to use against the invaders. Even though that was the case, their weapon mastery, which was mysteriously passed down by the Sand God, was more than refined.
Simply, they were war veterans, but the Tower of Growth had nerfed them with its will and "program" that would serve as an adequate challenge on the challengers, including so of the monsters on the lower floors because sothing like Murlocs could be found on higher ranked dungeons — either Strayed or Dungeon Tower.
Since the purpose of the Tower of Growth was to facilitate the growth of players in the long run, it would only make sense that this Tower was ant to be cleared, especially with thorough preparation. It's just that so players, though they couldn't be blad, were too exhilarated, and prone to make detrintal decisions. Apart from those kinds of players, so were too greedy for power.
"Intruders must die!"
Commander Cargan shouted. He was fighting toe to toe with Jiho, Samantha, and Elizabeth. This commander's stature was around 3 ters, and he was wielding a gigantic dilapidated great sword.
Bam-!
Russell glanced at the sound of intense fighting that was happening on the backline while he and the others, except for the long-range attackers, were having their own battles against the Sand People.
'They can do it since they're the most synchronized.'
According to his unpublished novel, early in the story, the cooperation between Samantha, Jiho, and Elizabeth, was the most auspicious one. But this could only work depending on the situations they were thrown into.
Rumia, though her skills were superficially water affinity, didn't possess an active skill that's a counter against the Sand People.
While Anya, on the other hand, specializes in fighting a being that had a weakness that's non-elental, unlike these Sand People clearly had a weakness of water... That's why those two ca into play...
"Becca! Rika! Now!"
Samantha shouted. At that mont, with the combined skills of the two forr rival Ice Mages in the party, Ice Mist surrounded the entire hall, gradually slowing the movents of the Sand People, including Commander Cargan. With this, openings to attack were made. Those who were near the ground zero of the skill were more affected than others, but it was still a considerable degree.
"It's a pity... But you're not the Sand God."
Russell whispered as he stabbed his mysterious weapon into the chest of the one he was fighting. Though these were called Sand People, they were still "people". Their blood was golden as though it was lted gold.
"And you... are not you."
The one Sand People he stabbed seed to leave a smile of freedom upon hearing Russell's last words. Russell revealed a faint smile, knowing the filthy truth behind these summoned monsters ant to re-enact scenarios.
"Rest in peace"
Russell muttered. Freya, standing on guard near him, pricked up her ears upon hearing the previous words of her older brother. Various thoughts surfaced in her mind, especially the System ssages she received after the Horror Murloc had killed himself.

"Petty tricks! HAAA-!!"
The commander of the Sand People cleaved down his great sword, though it turned slower, it was still considered fast and powerful. A clean hit would certainly split the body of the target in half. Jiho, Samantha, and Elizabeth blocked it with all their might.
Even though Commander Cargan's overall power had been nerfed by the Tower of Growth, it was still sowhat irrational to exude this much power.
'It's his swordsmanship.
Samantha surmised. Her stats were considerably higher than the commander, whose stats was slightly higher than Jiho's and Elizabeth's.
