As the day came to a close, the construction gradually halted.
Everyone stepped back with their faces glowing with satisfaction.
The wall wasn't finished yet but the progress was undeniable. And it was... beautiful.
They could already envision it.
A towering defense that would one day shield them from harm.
Lucien saw it too.
He imagined the Defense Division stationed along the ramparts, unleashing a relentless barrage of Slime Shots upon their enemies. The scene was almost too overwhelming.
He couldn't help but chuckle.

That night, Lucien returned to his room and pulled out the Magic Book once more.
He let out a long sigh.
Magic... Despite all its allure, it wasn't simple.
But this time, he had a plan.
Though he already possessed a magic attribute, casting spells was a different beast entirely.
Understanding them was one thing. Wielding them was another.
He had never used magic before and it showed.
Even the Household Magic remained out of his reach.
