Chapter 156: Experimenting With Dirt Shaping

-----

"My lord, will you begin your construction now?" asked Nezhit, emerging from within the shadow of Frank over his phantom mount.

"Yes… Let's get to it, there is a lot of things I want to experiment with," said Frank with a smile, as he began to conjure Dirt Shaping.

Flash!

A handful of dirt was generated.

However, as Frank infused more mana, larger quantities of dirt were generated, which he simply dropped in the ground.

"Now… Can I generate compact dirt in a shape that I desire?" wondered Frank, concentrating his mind on the task, he wished for the piece of dirt to appear as a large block… like in Minecraft.

Flash!

Bump!

Suddenly, a large dirt block appeared out of thin air, it was around ten centimeters cubic, and it weighed around four kilograms.

"Oh, it actually worked… Can I just generate dirt? Could I generate things such as stone or steel?" thought Frank, as he tried to conjure Rock Blocks or Steel Rocks.

However, he could only make the density of the dirt blocks harder or blander, but not make something aside from dirt.

"Well, maybe if I awaken it again I could truly get something insane like what I thought… For now, let's get to work… Let's begin shaping this piece of land into dirt blocks and save them inside of my Inventory- Wait, am I copying Dungeon Reset? I guess that doesn't really matter…" thought Frank.

Frank then began to slowly walk around, as he converted large quantities of dirt into Dirt Blocks, which he quickly put inside of his Inventory with the help of Nezhit and Zero within his shadows.

"Master, do I really just have to put your dirt blocks inside your Inventory? I could be doing something like watching over instead," said Zero rather disrespectfully.

"Yes, you just do that," said Frank with an 'I don't give a fuck what you think' smile.

"V-Very well, I will do as you wish…" sighed Zero.

Flash, flash, flash, flash.

Bump, bump, bump, bump.

The dirt below Frank's feet flashed with bright white light, as it turned into a perfect cube and then disappeared inside of his Inventory.

Although Frank considered doing bigger blocks, he was already around his limit.

For some reason, creating a Dirt Block cost over 300 Mana, but because of his almost instant mana regeneration, he could do this quite fine even if it cost so much, while even practicing his Mana to increase its quantity through overuse.

However, if he were to try and make bigger blocks… the quantity of mana needed would easily exceed his own maximum Mana, becoming an impossible task.

After all, although he had almost instant regeneration, he did not have infinite mana, and what he could do was restricted to his maximum quantity of Mana.

Bump, bump, bump, bump.

Frank kept digging deeper around the piece of land he chooses to make a hideout, more and more Dirt Blocks accumulated inside of his Inventory, now surpassing 40.

As Frank worked like a robot, he came with an idea.

"Light Clone," he said, conjuring a Light Clone and telling it to cover his opposite area, as to begin to convert the dirt into blocks more efficiently by literally dividing himself.

"Master is a very hard worker," said Nezhit.

"Indeed… Although I never expected I would be… picking up dirt," said Zero.

"Zero don't be disrespectful, everything Frank-sama does has an important purpose, right?" asked Nezhit.

"Purpose? Oh yeah, I want to make a big underground hideout to hide and go through the town with ease. I had even thought about building such a big hideout that it could even connect to the capital and-"

"W-Wouldn't that just make it something similar to a complete underground city if it's so big?" asked Zero.

"Hm… Maybe? Well, whatever it comes out… Oh! We are already twenty meters deep, such a big hole… and it is square too!" said Frank, as he cleaned the cold sweat from his forehead, glancing at the huge space he created with his Light Clone, an hour and a half had passed since he began to work non-stop, his efficiency was tremendous.

Frank checked his Inventory as a holographic window showing him each inventory slot occupied appeared, hundreds of slots were used for Dirt Blocks.

"Wait for a second… Couldn't I be able to use my Inventory to throw rocks at enemies? Wait, is Inventory that overpowered? What if I just accumulate a ton of water inside? Hm, interesting…" thought Frank, coming out with unorthodox ideas.

"It seems that Master is once more coming out with strange ideas," said Nezhit.

"…Yeah," said Zero.

"Anyways, we can't let this area just open to the public… Let's dig a bit deeper and then shape the wall into stairs, and then, close the area from above… I would need torches or some kind of item for light though… Hm, maybe this spell should work?" wondered Frank, as he combined Light Ray with Gray Magic, generating a sphere of transparent energy similar to a tiny barrier, and then putting a mass of bright light inside made from the power of Light Ray, sticking it to the walls through threads.

"Oh, this should work… They will disappear when they run out of the Mana I gave to them… Wait for a second, now that the spell is made then… I should name it, right?" thought Frank.

Nezhit and Zero glanced at Frank strangely, he was once more doing weird things.

"Just Light Bulb I guess… And then if I use Magic Infusion and Crafting into this Magic Crystal… There!" said Frank, as he infused the effects of the Light Bulb Spell into an F-Rank Magic Crystal, turning it into a physical manifestation of the spell, generating bright yellow light.

Nezhit and Zero glanced at Frank's invention with surprise, they really thought that he was just doing stupid things now, but he surprised them by doing something very smart and amazing that only someone with a lot of talent and the powers of Frank could achieve.

And like this, Frank used a few Magic Crystals and converted them into Light Bulbs, sticking them into the walls as he kept digging deeper until he was already around fifty meters deep into the ground.

Through the whole thing, he had come through a few nests of moles, rats, bugs, and big rocks which he simply saved on his Inventory without many problems.

He glanced at his Light Clone that was making more Dirt Blocks while advancing horizontally now, he wanted a large space after all.

"Hm, there is a lot of work to do, but while I leave the Light Clone working on expanding, I will make up the stairs I guess," said Frank, getting to work after just a break of two minutes.

Bump, bump, bump, bump.

Block by block, Frank saved them on his Inventory, as he dug his way up the large wall of dirt and rocks he had.

Sometimes he came through enormous pieces of rock that he did not want to extract because they might end up making the whole structure fall apart, so he decides to try and shape them through Dirt Shaping.

The result?

"It doesn't work…" sighed Frank.

But maybe if he tried very hard there could be a way to make a spell that combined the properties of the Dirt Shaping Skill so he could shape rocks too?

Or he could always wait for it to reach max level and then see if he can after the Skill awakens.

After all, through these hundreds of Dirt Blocks created, the Dirt Shaping Skill was sitting at level 6 already, completely insane progress!

"Maybe if I learn Earth Magic I could create a Spell that can help me shape even more dirt and even rocks… Death Magic does not work like in the Death Mage , I cannot shape dirt and stuff with dead spirits, my power is far too weak for them to do such feats yet and my Mana is not near as enough, maybe it really does work like that, but I lack the one million mana… And about golems… I don't think I can create them as easily as Vandalieu, I would need to first create a core containing Dead Spirit and a lot of Mana and Runes infused into them…" thought Frank.

"And that's a lot of work indeed… Well, I am not in a hurry, let's get this stair finished," said Frank, as he continued his task relentlessly, one Dirt Block at a time…

Bump, bump, bump, bump…

Another hour went by like nothing, and Frank was already reaching the top, for the stair to be functional, he had to go in a zigzag mode, and he had to dig deeper into the wall for that, but it ultimately worked quite well, and a big and beautiful stair was now made.

"And… Dirt Shaping," said Frank, generating the last Dirt Block as he sat down on the stairs, glancing at the starry sky.

"Phew, I actually did this… all of it… Myself…" he sighed, glancing down below, the fall would certainly be quite deadly.

"Amazing work, Master, I shouldn't have doubted your weird ideas," said Zero apologetically.

"Weird ideas?! They were amazing! Look at this! I can now make my own Minecraft hideout, and I have enough blocks to build a whole town made of dirt houses," said Frank quite proudly.

"Indeed… Although Dirt Houses sound a bit…" muttered Zero.

"Anyways, my lord, I suppose that the Dirt Shaping Skill has leveled up quite steadily," said Nezhit.

"Oh yeah, it's level 8 now, it leveled so much after so many repetitive actions. Now shaping dirt does not even need me to put my will into it, it happens automatically as I simply give the mental command of 'create dirt block'," said Frank.

"Incredible, I believe that master will one day shape the entire world," said Nezhit.

"Indeed," said Zero.

"You don't need to praise so much- Eh?" muttered Frank.

Suddenly, Frank felt as if his Light Clone was killed!

Something deep underground emerged from the dirt, and it was furious!

"A giant… lizard?"
