'I didn't expect that the closer we got to the Nigth Lord's Crypt, the more difficult it would be to manipulate the surrounding earth. Initially, I planned on digging directly underneath the Night Lord's Crypt. But, if we continued on at that rate; it would have taken us hours to proceed any further. Since I don't know what's waiting for us inside the Night Lord's Crypt, I must conserve as much mana inside of my artificial mana pool as possible. This will have to be close enough.'
After he met with Bellum, Izroth went over a plan to get the 9th Division close to the Night Lord's Crypt without attracting too much attention to themselves.
The plan involved Izroth's use of Molding Earth and Bellum's ability to manipulate an object's matter.
By utilizing Molding Earth, Izroth was able to dig a tunnel underground, which was the same method he used to avoid the Cursed Grounds at the Tempest/Malentansium border.
