Taking a closer look at the minotaur's horns, they were indeed make of a blue mana crystal, a crystal made to hold basic mana, Vlasfimia broke one off, noticing that they had kept their strong durability but to his disappointement it seemed like it couldn't be used like a mana crystal, his own mana was pushed out of it, actually, now that he paid attention to it, he noticed that the minotaur didn't have much mana at all and that his horns were even pushing away his own.
'It's not for casting spell, is it a magic defense?' wondered Vlas as he broke the other off, it seemed like this was what interested the fire.
Letting the fire do it's thing, the horn burned away in a moment, the fire was more potent that it seemed, he tried to see if it wanted the other one but just like with the scrolls it seemed to only want a single one of each things it burned.
Vlasfimia dragged the minotaurs back to an empty area, currently even the minotaurs filled areas were empty but they should respawn soon and just that small trip was enough for the broken off horns to seemingly lose all its properties and just become a nice stabbing and hitting tool.
This minotaur's horns could not be used to start a new business but if what thought he could do now was true, he would be able to sell him for quite the price, a hulking mass of strength and resistances also resistant to magic as a whole was rare.
Vlas put him back in his underground cage, covered it all up and left the area, he had done a good job on this minotaur, now was time to once more do goblins, this time focusing on trying to make them evolve in specialised versions and elemental versions.
He would also test what his flame could do for now, it wasn't what completely at its best but it should be capable of some stuff and then he would take care of the boss.
Vlas made sure to go get some ropes, went to an area with many goblins on the second floor and started abducting some of them, not like they could do anything about it, their poor makeshift weapons couldn't even hurt him.
That way, he got five goblins which he brought to the area he had put the last goblin he had trained in, there was only one cage but it was still pretty large and with what Vlasfimia was about to try, only one cage could be used to lock them up.
After arriving there, the restrained goblins were put down and Vlas pulled sewing tools from his bag.
"I heard that some people stitched the body parts of other creatures to make themselves stronger" he said to himself, the goblins didn't understand a word of what he said but they understood how bad their situation was.
Vlas then stitched all of the five goblins to one another, they weren't even stitched in a functional manner.
He then began the training of this goblins.

Meanwhile, Agios looked at his surrounding with a perplexed look on his face.
'How did I end up here?' he thought, surrounded by thick vegetation, he had unknowingly changed floor and ended up on the third one.
He took a step forward when he suddenly heard the distinct sound of a goblin, a sort of grunt.
Gracefully dodging by jumping back, he laid his eyes on an unusual goblin.
It was much taller than a normal goblin, its long arms dragging on the floor, a much more developped body as well as a strange haircut, Agios wasn't very familiar with the world dungeon but this kind of phenomenon appeared in other dungeons as well, a special monsters or an evolved monster.
It had a glint of intelligence in its eyes as it stared at its prey, not lunging once more as its prey had seen him.
Agios unsheated his saber in a swift movement and pointed its point at the goblin.
The strange goblin decided to attack, moving forward on all fours, extremely close to the floor, Agios simply did a small movement sending hot wind close to the floor, forcing the goblin to raise its body.
Agios then send a wind blade, decapitating the goblin cleanly, the body kept moving for a few moments failing to realise it had already died before crumbling down like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
'That still doesn't tell me where I am' thought the noble knight as he sheated his saber back.
'Don't give up! Fortune will eventually befall' he motivated himself, as he decided to move into a random direction and eventually fortune did befall in the form of a plump looking individual.
"A cheese knight?" he spoke out loud, that is true fortune for once, this is the best kind of person to run into.
"Oh, if it is not a noble knight! How are you doing?" asked the cheese knight in a jolly tone.
"You seem to be in a bit of a pickle, may I be of help?" he then asked, truly the best knight establishment you could find.
"Yes, you see I got lost inside the dungeon" explained Agios, a bit ashamed of himself on that one.
"Oh, say no more! Follow me!" said the cheese knight as he started leading the way.

Staring down at what the stitched goblins had evolved into, Vlasfimia had no words for it, the fire seemed to be loving it though.
It was a goblins body but the head was just the upper half of another goblin, so it had four arms and at the top of the top most body, three goblin heads could be seen, it was an abomination, a success in Vlasfimia's book.
It didn't look like that but it did have some combat capacities, its back was quite flexible so it could attack all around itself without moving and its four arms gave it some possibilities when it came to weapons and of course its appearance had quite the surprise factor.
After, locking his creation inside its cage, Vlas went on to try doing the one thing he knew his flame could do right now, he was in an empty room, away from everything, bringing his right hand to his hollow socket, even if his mask was on, the flame that resided in his socket burned brightly and some sort of bullet was shot out hitting the wall and melting it a bit, without damaging his mask.
He didn't know why he brought his hand to his socket, he did it naturally and that had helped him aim the bullet.
'That's some nice stuff" he thought to himself, it was a bit slow to come out but the damage output seemed correct.
