With the sun slowly leaving the horizon, a chilly breeze started to wander around the large sand desert.
The atmosphere around the mountain was tense because all the individuals who arrived on the fifth floor were standing guard in front of their assigned Castles.
Their gaze was vigilant as they tried to see any suspicious movents around them.
The castles created by Casian were all similar in shape and size.
They had thick sand walls, a long walled structure on the upper part with a walkway behind it for standing. And a single square-shaped huge room inside.
The castles weren't too big or too small. The space inside them was enough to hold more than thirty people.
Among the various castles, Alec and his team were standing around the castle which was present at the middle of all the castles.
From the walkway present on the upper part of the castle, Lara looked around with squinted eyes.
She was an archer that's why her range of perception was higher compared to the others.
Mia was also standing beside her.
On the other hand, Nine, Carcel and Alec were standing outside the castle, a few ters away from the gate.
Just like everyone else, they were also looking around continuously but even after the sun left the horizon and night arrived there was no sign of a monster wave.
On the other hand, a little further away from the castles. The sand suddenly started to sink at a fast speed.
With a loud whistling sound, two large monsters crawled out from the sand.
Their snake-like bodies were filled with pointy scales and they had six lower limbs. The mont the two monsters crawled out from the sand they looked at the castles with their brown-green eyes.
After those two monsters, like a wave hundreds of monsters started crawling out from the sand.
They all looked at the castles with bloodshot eyes before charging madly toward the castles in groups.
Lara who was standing on the upper part of the castle was the first to notice those sand-colored monsters. A frown appeared on her beautiful face when she saw the number of monsters.
They were too many!
After seeing the monsters, she imdiately shot out a fire arrow to alert everyone standing outside the castle.
Mia who was standing beside her also beco serious when she saw so many monsters charging toward the castles.
After the monsters closed in the distance everyone standing inside or outside the castles was able to sense their rank.
All the monsters were (E)-Rank!
After seeing the huge monster wave, Alec wasn't sure if his team would be able to handle the wave because even though their ranks were higher than the monsters, the monsters were just too many.
They could defeat a hundred or so monsters but after that, their energy and mana will be exhausted.
Not to ntion the teams who weren't strong enough to fight back.
Seeing the monster wave, so beco serious, so anxious while so started praying so they can survive.
If the first wave was so hard what will happen in the next wave?
Will they even be able to survive?
With gritted teeth, Alec gave his team the signal to attack.
No matter what they have to protect the sand castles or else instead of failing the trial, they will all die.
Jian and Kelvin's castle was a little further away from Alec and his team.
They also saw the monster wave and their facial expression showed utter disbelief.
There were just too many monsters!
With serious expressions, Kelvin imdiately ordered Jian and his team mbers to attack the monsters charging toward their castle.
anwhile, Casian who was sitting on a luxurious chair present among the clouds laughed loudly when he saw the bug's expression.
He found it amusing how they were charging toward the first monster wave with their everything.
"The outer world is becoming weaker with every generation."
"I rember a hundred years ago when I was newly assigned as the 19th floor keeper those people who appeared inside the Tower were so powerful that they just directly beat up and cleared the floor."
Casian smile darken when he rember the first ti his master opened the Tower and the younger generation entered the Tower.
He was so embarrassed that he didn't appear around the Tower 9 floors for almost a hundred years.
Just like Casian there were guardians on each floor.
The outside world only knew that there were 9 floors inside the Tower but in reality, the Tower has a lot of floors and each floor had its own guardian.
It just after the first, second and third permanent floors, the guardians of the other floors have to fight for a place so they can get a chance to appear inside the said 9 floors.
After the winning guardians arrived at the lower floor, they can set up so trials for the people who were climbing the Tower.
There were a few restrictions but the guardians were allowed to do almost everything.
That's why after the 3rd floor, the other floors always had changed scenery whenever the new generation entered the Tower.
Casian was the guardian of the 19th floor. He wasn't really allowed to co down from the upper floors more than thrice continuously but for the past three generations, he has been bribing everyone and coming down at the lower floors.
It's because he enjoyed crushing the younger generation of the people who beat him up a long ti ago.
"What a pity they cannot see it. I am still the sa powerful and mighty but their descendants are just like bugs."
After a long ti, Casian was finally able to enjoy himself and take revenge for the embarrassnt he suffered a long ti ago.
With a wave of his hand, a table ford out of thin air and a lot of delicious fruits appeared on top of the table.
Casian started eating while happily looking at the bugs who were busy defending the castles from the monsters.
He was thinking of killing a few with each wave.
"Hehehe"
A creepy laughter ca out of his mouth as he thought of various plans to kill almost 90% of the people present on this floor.
"Well, if I killed all of them master will be angry."
Casian shuddered when he thought about his master, he wanted to kill everyone on this floor but because of his master, he decided to send 5-10 individuals to the next floor.
"Let's see, who are the ones I am leaving alive."
