"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, two unknown friends!" Seeing that Urs was moved by his pleading, Merella's revenant spirit hurriedly thanked him, "Then please stand in front of the painting when you come here." ”

As she spoke, she floated past Urs and Thea, signaling for the two who had offered to help her to approach the wall where the painting was hung, and raised her hand to the painting.

The young man and the girl looked each other in the eye, then turned back in the direction of the painting, following Merella's instructions, each holding out a hand and gently pressing the surface of the painting.

The female ghost's gentle voice whispered in a low voice beside her: "Yes, that's it, relax, don't be afraid." ”

"The door across the plane is about to open, close your eyes and pluck up courage."

"Next, try to take a step forward."

Urs and Thea did so.

Then, the black-haired young man felt his body pass through an invisible barrier and come to another place. He naturally opened his eyes, and the scene in his eyes flashed like a fleeting white light, and the surrounding appearance immediately changed from an abandoned empty house to an enclosed space with high gray walls standing in all directions.

The flat brick floor underfoot is as hard as a rock, and when you look up at the top of your head, the picture of the living room of an abandoned and empty house is reflected in the sky like floating water.

The labyrinth of oil paintings, an area of subdimensional copies hidden in the painting-

"This is the world in the painting?" After reopening her eyes, Thea cautiously looked around, subconsciously asking about the female ghost who had brought her and Urs here.

Merella's ghost was also floating in the air not far from the two of them.

Faced with Thea's question, she replied unabashedly: "Yes, friend, the portal back to reality and the abyss demon are at the end of this labyrinth. I remember the route of the labyrinth, please ......"

Suddenly, just as she was about to get the black-haired young man and the wolf-eared priest girl to follow her, some irresistible force made her translucent body tremble as if she had been electrocuted, and she didn't have time to finish the words in her mouth.

"Miss Merella?!" Thea's gaze was stunned.

Merella's revenant clenched her head in a shudder, "No, no, that demon sensed my actions, it's- huh?!" ”

Immediately after, the words came to an abrupt end.

Her mouth seemed to be sealed by an invisible shackle, her panicked voice lingered in her throat and could not come out, and her translucent body quickly faded in the air, completely disappearing after a second.

A sudden change of events came without warning.

As soon as the female ranger's ghost vanished, another low, vicious voice with a creepy grin reached the ears of Thea and Urs at the same time: "Welcome, two brave adventurers, welcome to my world." I am the master of this labyrinth, Orokansyut, a great demon of the abyss who deserves your horror and fear. ”

"Evil demon, what did you do to Miss Merella?!" Xia immediately grabbed her emblem bracelet and looked around for alarm while sharply questioning the voice that seemed to be everywhere.

"Evil? Haha, that's a wonderful word for me, and I'd be even happier if you didn't have that emblem on your left wrist. The demon from the abyss responded to Thea maliciously somewhere in the unknown, "As for what you said about Miss Merella?" Not...... Hehehe, sorry, I've collected a little too many souls, dare I ask which one of the Merellas you are talking about? Well? ”

"You ——!"

The demon's voice is full of tyrannical and provocative taste.

Thea's emotions almost got out of control, but fortunately, Urs reached out in time to press her shoulder, and the subtle movements and eyes reminded her to stay calm.

Then, he raised his gaze and looked ahead of the priest girl beside him and roared, "Orokanshut! ”

"Oh? Are you another adventurer next to that girl just now? The demon's voice paused, then resounded, "Tiny human, bold to call out the great Orokanshut, do you expect any useful information to come out of my mouth?" ”

"Come on, Orokanshut, we don't have the slightest interest in your little bit of lip service." Urs didn't bother to go around the bush with it, "Isn't what you want our souls?" In that case, let's jump right into your carefully planned game and see which of us can have the last laugh! ”

"Hmph, arrogant fellow, I was going to amuse you before you turned into corpses." Orokanshut sneered, "Then that's the end of the time for small talk." From now on, O adventurer, please me with your senseless struggles. Try to get out of this labyrinth, defeat the monsters that stand in your way, and finally challenge me to reach the end of the labyrinth! ”

"I'm looking forward to your performance, if you can do it, hahahahaha......"

The words fell, and the demon's laughter faded away with the declaration of war.

The air around them fell silent for a short time, and a wall about four or five meters away in front of the young man and the wolf-eared girl quickly cracked a pitch-black gap, and the gray wall opened to both sides like a door, revealing a straight passage behind the wall in the eyes of the two.

The Abyssal Demon named Orokanshut launched a formal "invitation" to the two.

Of course, there was no way to avoid or decline this malicious invitation, as the Level 15 Squad dungeon of the Oil Painting Labyrinth was essentially a subdimensional space constructed from the "Permanent Labyrinth". If they don't find a way out of the labyrinth, the two of them will undoubtedly be trapped in this place forever, until a few days later, they will die under the torture of thirst and hunger.

Death means the end.

The journey of this new life has only just begun, and in a few days, Urs has no intention of waiting for death in his heart.

He held the hilt of the sword in his hand and took a step forward with the pitch-black and rugged two-handed greatsword.

At this moment, there was a movement of footsteps from the depths of the passage that was facing him and Thea in front of them, and several humanoid monsters suddenly rushed out of the corner at the end of the passage, breaking into the sight of the two as if they had received some kind of instruction, and quickly approached the two of them.

The monsters were all about eight feet tall in size, and their physical signs were composed of torsos and limbs like the human body structure, but the flesh on their bodies were all human stumps that had been carefully stitched together with thick ropes, cables, metal nails, and other auxiliary tools, and some parts of the joints also revealed a sickly state of withered yellow and pus-green, and as their stiff and incoherent running posture exuded a strong rancid stench like corpses.

The appearance of these humanoid monsters is almost impossible to describe in words other than deformity, and ordinary civilians who have not seen much of the world can easily confuse them with an undead creature in the realm of the undead called abomination.

Those with a modicum of adventure and magical knowledge know that this deformed life, which is not much more distorted than the undead, is actually a type of golem.

Yes, Golem.

[Minor Flesh Golem, Challenge Level 14, Constructed Creature]
