While Pierre was looking for workers, Billy made so Earth rings and made them level up until they gave him extra twenty levels in Earth manipulation. Since the effects of each extra level were low, the skill points necessary were only fifty. Nevertheless, the effects of those rings escalated quite a lot, but because of that, they were losing durability over ti.
"We don't have ti to worry about creating optimal walls now. We will focus on what Pierre wants: surprise the enemy," Billy said on the next day while they were heading to the eastern side of the town. "I will raise the walls with so Earth pillars. anwhile, Sarah will fill in the gaps and connect all of them with their magic. That is necessary because they will be heavy, but not too thick."
"What about us?" Alexander asked.
Billy wondered for a second. Aside from Kate, their magic was above average, but it wasn't suited to long constructions like that. Still, any help will be welco.
"You guys will make blocks like this, it needs to have this perfect size… it is a smaller version of the spears I am making," Billy said and created an example of the block. "Just make them erge from the ground and make the workers transport them to the exterior side of the town."
Billy and his party had to conserve as much mana as possible. So transporting those would make them save a lot of it. That was why the workers were there, and fortunately, Pierre worked fast, gathered everyone, and even made so drawings on the ground where the walls were supposed to be. It was a simple blueprint that he had asked for, but he thought it would only be finished by the end of that day.
Billy explained what the workers had to do, and Pierre and Marie decided to stay to monitor everything. Still, soon they got sidetracked when Billy began to work. Creating a single earth pillar that was fifteen ters tall only took him three seconds. After that, he created several others horizontally and one above the other. In two minutes, he had already created a wall that was fifteen ters long and seed pretty sturdy despite its thickness.
"Wouldn't you make a killing by building houses?" Pierre asked.
"For the right price, I would, but it is seems like a pretty boring use of my skills," Billy said while he watched Sarah filling in the gaps and connecting the pillars. "In any case, did Jean send the Edish fruits?"
"He knew that you would ask for them, so yeah, he sent a lot of those," Pierre replied. "You may not have a lot of respect for us, but at least pretend in front of our people, call him lord Jean."
"Whatever you say," Billy shrugged.
Billy asked Pierre to bring those right now because he would have to eat a lot of them. The dungeon town was five hundred ters large and eight hundred long… so he had a lot of walling to do.
In the end, with all his mana and the bonus that the rings granted Billy, he managed to create a sixty ters long wall. It was quite long, considering that he did it mostly by himself, but it will take a while for him to recover his mana. While he was eating the Edish fruits, he went to check with his friends, and by working together with the workers… they had a quite the path ahead of themselves.
"Please, don't put pressure on us," Kate asked.
"I was just looking," Billy said. "In any case, we probably have a week to do this, so let's focus on not making any mistakes that will make us waste ti."
After Billy recovered so mana, he returned to his own task. At that point in ti, the inhabitants of the town ca to see what was going on since so walls suddenly appeared around. Fortunately, Pierre put things under control, and no one saw how frail those walls were.
"Not that I am underestimating your skills, but can't that be taught to the people of this town?" Marie asked.
"Most people can't learn this, adventurers have higher chances, but they will need so ti to improve their magic senses," Billy said. "Instead of explaining, you should see for yourself. Start ditating and once you reach a certain level with your magic, I will tell when you will be ready."
Marie was a friend of the party, so Billy didn't mind teaching her a thing or two. Besides, they will need all the power they can get for the next war, so he should also teach her FIERCE Aura. Knowing her, she wouldn't spread the secret. However, after thinking about it, maybe spreading that secret would help them to win… against such odds. They would need all the power they could get.
Marie had so mana, so her magic increased quite a bit on a single day. There was also the fact that she had never ditated before, and while she had a hard ti at first, she got used to it.
At the end of the day, Billy managed to create another four blocks of walls. anwhile, his friends made three. It was because the earth blocks were quite heavy, and so of the workers even had to use stairs to make them reach the top of the walls. At the sa ti, Billy thought that it was ti for Marie to take the second step.
"Now, try to send your mana and envelop this block of earth," Billy said after he created a small one. "You need to obtain full control over your mana to achieve that. With so luck, you can do that before morning."
Billy said the last part as a joke, but when he returned the next day, he found Marie sleeping on the sa spot he left her, but now she had several earth blocks surrounding her.. She had succeeded.
