The Secret Book of Fire-Stealing continuously absorbed the knowledge output from the Eternal Imprisonment Brain.
Dalun Li gazed at the Secret Book of Fire-Stealing connected to the Eternal Imprisonment Brain.
“Perhaps the Eternal Imprisonment Brain and the Secret Book of Fire-Stealing can work together.”
The Eternal Imprisonment Brain was responsible for thinking and learning, while the Secret Book of Fire-Stealing handled the reception of knowledge.
With the two cooperating, the Secret Book of Fire-Stealing's knowledge reserves would grow richer and richer.
Once its knowledge reached a certain level, it might be able to answer more than just questions about foundry arts.
It might be able to answer questions in every field.
“Is this like installing a microchip into the Eternal Imprisonment Brain?”
Dalun Li couldn't help but think so.
After confirming that the Eternal Imprisonment Brain was operating without issue, Dalun Li also transferred out of the hidden floor.
Adventurers had already explored up to the twelfth floor, and the hidden boss of that floor could no longer be delayed.
The hidden boss of the twelfth floor could only be reached by solving the puzzle of the lava stone pillars.
By collecting map fragments from chests within ten lava stone pillars hidden throughout the lava sea, one could use the complete map to find the final hidden pillar in the Lava Lake.
Through that hidden pillar, one could reach the hidden boss of the twelfth floor.
Because creating a boss was troublesome and Dalun Li had lacked suitable materials, the hidden boss of the twelfth floor had remained uncreated until now.
Now, the earth dragon skeleton excavated from the eighteenth floor had given Dalun Li inspiration.
“However, using an entire earth dragon skeleton to create a twelfth-floor hidden boss is still too wasteful.”
Dalun Li brought over an entire wyvern skeleton.
Next, he detached a single leg bone from the earth dragon skeleton.
The most mana-dense and dragon-blood-rich part of this earth dragon skeleton was the entire spinal column.
Aside from the spine, the remaining bones did not have a particularly thick mana aura or dragon bloodline, so he didn't feel too much heartache using them.
He placed the earth dragon leg bone and the entire wyvern skeleton before him.
Dalun Li then brought over magic tree branches, refined fire-resistant iron ore (recently dug up by the adventurers), magic iron ore, and spatial silk.
Next, he fetched the corpses of ten dark wanderers to serve as the flesh.
The Dark Starry Sky had already been turned into a prison; its flesh-manipulation technology was now safe to use and reliable.
Of course, he couldn't rely solely on the flesh technology of the Dark Starry Sky, and Dalun Li had no intention of using the technology from the Well of Eternal Imprisonment either.
Expending his power, he took out a dragon flame crystal the size of a pigeon's egg and smelted a highly pure lava bloodline from it.
All the materials were prepared.
Dalun Li activated his power.
“Monster Creation!”
The earth dragon leg bone and the wyvern skeleton seemed to come to life, rapidly growing and fusing together.
The ores were also quickly refined, melted, and integrated into the bones, giving them a metallic luster.
The thin trace of dragon bloodline within the earth dragon leg bone was also fused into the entire wyvern skeleton.
As Dalun Li's power poured in, the wyvern skeleton grew rapidly, as if catalyzed by that thin dragon bloodline.
A pair of dragon wings became larger and sharper.
Beneath the wing bones, a pair of skeletal structures proliferated rapidly, growing into a set of thick, sharp dragon claws.
Every bone became massive and powerful.
On the wyvern's skull, a pair of hideous horns extended outward.
“Even such a thin dragon bloodline can change a wyvern's skeletal form to this extent?”
“The dragon bloodline is truly domineering.”
Watching the growing skeleton, Dalun Li quickly fused the remaining materials into the frame.
The flesh of the dark wanderers melted rapidly and began to grow along the wyvern's bones.
The lava bloodline refined by Dalun Li was integrated into the growing flesh at the same time.
The magic tree branches also fused into the bone and flesh, providing the plant-based vitality needed for the body.
All the materials merged—membranes, organs, muscles, and scales.
A hideous wyvern slowly took shape, crouching before Dalun Li.
The thick muscles beneath its scales tensed as if accumulating immense strength.
Its monstrous head was lowered, and every breath from its snout was accompanied by a scorching heatwave and the pungent smell of sulfur.
The wyvern's entire body was dark red, resembling lava that had not yet solidified.
Solid deep-red horns extended toward the back of its head, and sharp fangs protruded from the scale-covered dragon lips.
Its massive body, twenty meters long, was filled with majesty and power.
Traces of dragon might pressed down on everything around it with every movement the wyvern made.
A typical wyvern only has a pair of legs and a pair of wings, making it closer to a pterosaur.
But the wyvern before him, under the influence of the dragon bloodline, had grown a pair of incredibly sharp dragon claws. When it simply pressed against the rock, its sharp talons pierced through the stone and sank into the ground.

[Description] A monster servant created by the unknown existence Dalun Li. Possessing the bloodline and power of a dragon, this terrifying lord of fire and lava is the king of the Lava Lake and a wyvern tyrant of destruction. It commands the destructive powers of lava and fire and serves as the guardian of the Lava Lake.
“I am willing to offer my loyalty to you, Master, and become the shield that guards the Well of Eternal Imprisonment.”
Crouching on the ground, the Sub-dragon Wyvern lowered its massive dragon head toward the pedestal, struggling to suppress its breathing as it offered its loyalty to the supreme being who had created it.
The Sub-dragon Wyvern's intelligence was not at the peak of the Well of Eternal Imprisonment, but it was already capable of communicating through speech.
Its intelligence was comparable to a dwarf miner, though it could not match the purple-skinned blacksmiths.
Dalun Li had sacrificed a bit of intelligence to enhance the creature's destructive power.
With the Sub-dragon Wyvern created, Dalun Li also gained all its powers.
His power over the domains of lava and fire increased once more, and he also acquired several rare new abilities.
[Dragon Magic], [Dragon Bloodline], [Dragon Power], [Dragon Pupil], [Dragon Scales]...
These were all abilities related to dragons, born from the dragon bloodline within the Sub-dragon Wyvern.
They were all very precious skills, but unfortunately, their levels were not high.
After all, the Sub-dragon Wyvern's dragon bloodline was quite thin.
Compared to ordinary magic, Dragon Magic was more powerful and domineering, but its drawbacks were that it was difficult to control and consumed a large amount of mana.
Dragon Power was a pure physical strengthening skill, while Dragon Scales was a defensive skill capable of significantly weakening physical and elemental attacks.
Dragon Pupil could enhance basic vision while adding a psychological attack similar to pressure.
“Go and guard the Lava Lake well.”
The Sub-dragon Wyvern was dispatched; the hidden boss of the twelfth floor's Lava Lake was now in place.
Meanwhile, deep within the mines of the twelfth floor.
Serafina, who had struck gold with a single pickaxe swing, hurriedly grabbed for the treasure she had unearthed...
