While the magma slimes were working nonstop in the pocket dimension, Zack used his remaining skill points to level up the portal as much as possible, and he considered connecting them to the outside. Naturally, he would have to hide those underground, but it was a good idea to create those posts to use.
Zack, his movements now much quieter than before, began to dig into the walls of the hideout again. He used an iron shovel that he created, and he used magic as well, all moving deliberately and precisely, minimizing noise and disturbance. Instead of carefully setting aside every bit of rock, dirt, and sand he dislodged, he adopted a different approach. As he dug deeper into the wall, he simply pushed the loosened earth behind him. The rocks tumbled and settled, the dirt scattered and mingled with the sand, creating a growing mound at his back.
