As soon as Adyr triggered his final skill, the Tower of Worth began to swell.
A moment ago, it had been the size of a standard fighting staff, roughly 1.8 meters long and about 3 to 4 centimeters thick, the sort of balanced length and grip used in martial training.
Under the pressure of his new skill, the stone shaft started to stretch and widen. It reached 3 meters in length, then thickened beyond what a single hand could comfortably clasp.
It did not stop there. A heartbeat later, it surged past 10 meters, forcing him to brace it with both hands.
When the growth ended, he held a crude stone column that echoed the Tower's old silhouette in miniature: a heavy, blunt pillar that looked more like a cut of bedrock than a weapon. Anyone watching would wonder how a body like his could even lift it, let alone swing it.
Adyr did not share the doubt. His 1483 Physique handled the weight without strain.
