Sandstorm Temple
Witness endless power and surrender to it.
Name Variations: ST; 폭풍의 모래신전
Difficulty Levels: Easy; Normal; Hard
Nestled amidst the treacherous expanse of the Zasteri Badlands, a forsaken temple lies veiled in an eerie hush, a sacred relic of untold antiquity guarded by the vigilant sentinels of the revered Ajanara Brotherhood. Enshrouded in potent mystic energies, this ancient temple stands resolute, preserving the realm from the clutches of an otherworldly malevolence that lurks within. An insidious taint, born from the very depths of the abyss, had tainted their sanctified brethren. Even the illustrious Brother Rukesh, a paragon of boundless potential who had dared to transcend mortal limitations, now languishes in the accursed confines of Sandstorm Temple, concealed from prying eyes by the veils of the Ajanara Brotherhood.
Alas, the stout-hearted Brother Hyunmyung, sentinel of the order, finds his spirit agitated by trepidation, for the fortitude of the ethereal barrier that shields the temple wavers precariously. To remedy this dire predicament, a seasoned Ajanara monk of consummate skill has been dispatched to the desolate site, tasked with the solemn duty of reviving the faltering defenses. However, the delicate art of resealing the mystical barrier necessitates the vanquishing of the brooding malevolence festering within the temple's hallowed grounds.
