Chapter 474: Ninety-Eighth Floor, Waiting Room (2)
[38 hours 46 minutes until the rest period ends. Please take a rest.]“Su-Hyeok, will this do?”
“Hmm. No, let’s stack it a little higher.”
Poong-Lyeong nodded and immediately drew upon the power of the storm. “Okay.”
The nearby pile of dirt that formed a massive hill rose into the air, carried effortlessly by the swirling wind. Under Poong-Lyeong’s meticulous control, not a single speck of dust drifted astray. The lifted soil settled neatly atop the towering column in the distance, raising it even further.
Hmm, calling it a pillar doesn’t quite fit anymore.
It was far beyond a simple column now. What stretched toward the sky resembled a full structure, something closer to a tower. It wasn’t elegant like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but it had a defined form and presence. If I had told Poong-Lyeong to refine its exterior, it probably would have looked like an actual tower.
Still, it looks fine as it is.
After finishing my training, I had purchased a large amount of soil and spread it across the ground. At first, I had only planned to pile up the dirt, which wasn’t difficult. The mimic produced the soil while Poong-Lyeong handled the rest. The massive hill beside us had been the product of that first attempt.
At that point, Poong-Lyeong had suggested building something more structured. It claimed it could manipulate the moisture within the soil to create a stable building. Of course, it also mentioned that it would need the Flame of Aspiration’s power to succeed. I had initially doubted it was worth the trouble, but now that I saw the result, I realized it had been a good decision. The outcome more than justified the effort spent.
This should last for at least half a year.
It was slightly wider than the remaining portion of the Star Devourer, but it was tall enough to reach the heavens. I had worried it would collapse, but Poong-Lyeong reassured me that it had infused the storm’s energy into the soil.
