After using his commands against strong foes who could resist them, especially when obeying a command that would put their lives in danger, Kane had become more creative with issuing commands to such troublesome enemies. Since he was the target of the attack, he wanted the statue to become a sitting duck for as long as possible. It would either give the others enough time to escape or to attack the statue if they were close enough and he hoped the latter option was the case
The statue was very confused. Not only did his target turn into an indestructible grain of golden sand, but after it attacked, it had a strong urge to just lie down and relax. It knew that this was not normal and tried as much as it could to fight it and that was why it was not yet on its back. Abel and Yelina who were hot on its tail got to it as soon as it was in that state.
