The piercing screams persisted, but compared to a few hours ago, they were much more sporadic.
On the vast burning wasteland, the howls of ghosts and the snorts of pigs echoed. In this situation, the sparse cries sounded even more desolate.
However, in a place unnoticed by these people, there was a figure cloaked in a hood, gracefully "stepping" across bubbling lava pools. Wherever she went, fiery footprints erged, creating a peculiar sight on the surface of the lava.
When the figure lightly stepped onto the isolated island in the center of the hot pool, the cloak covering her face ignited and, in an instant, turned into scattered ashes. "She" revealed her true form.
With hair resembling red diamonds and two red velvet rabbit ears, bangs swept back, and a leather coat swaying in the hot wind.
At first glance, her attire seed similar to lightly equipped adventurers, but in reality, there were quite a few differences. At least, ordinary adventurers wouldn't wear so many gemstone accessories, and they wouldn't look so much like a pirate captain who lost her hat.
A skull mask hung diagonally in the place where a hat should be, shining with a faint fire glow in the steaming inferno.
Her expression was solemn, her eyes suppressing a burning rage. She walked towards a small palace in the center of the island.
Sothing in the palace seed to sense her arrival. Black flas instantly ignited, but the woman's reaction was quicker. Before the black flas could burn her body, an invisible wall forcefully pushed them back.
"Ribcage Cage!"
The ribcage-shaped barrier continued to compress. When it reached a certain degree, the trapped black flas flickered, and their appearance began to change. The compression movent halted, forming a stalemate.
The woman snorted, watching as the black flas inside the barrier transford into a humanoid figure. She placed both palms on the barrier, and a crack appeared on the face of the humanoid, forming a mouth.
A mischievous smile that infuriated.
"Who are you!" the woman angrily shouted.
"It’s , Boze." The chaotic and hoarse voice ansered.
"No! You're not! That old guy, Boze Vlam, would never do such a thing," the woman exclaid angrily, continuously compressing the barrier but unable to shake it.
She had been played. There are signs of abnormality that happened a few months ago, but she hadn't suspected a thing.
The result was... countless people died inexplicably in this labyrinth.
If it weren't for the false divine oracle issued by this bastard, how could she have been deceived? How could she have acted as an S-rank adventurer to guarantee, plan, and organize this exploration?
Damn it, she should have doubted it long ago when the [Trial of Flas] inexplicably restarted! Especially with such incomplete trial content— not only did it only open the first trial, the [Corridor of Trust], it even ssed up the rules.
This was no longer a trial; it was just walking into the lion's den!
"How do you control the labyrinth? What's the purpose of killing these people and collecting their souls!?"
"Hehe... Heh, hehe..." The demonic black fla inside the barrier laughed maniacally, offering no answers.
Seeing the demon's reaction, the woman's mood surprisingly cald a bit.
Anyway, she didn't expect this scoundrel to spill the beans so easily. This was the only thing she got right today.
But strangely, as one of the Seven Elental Guardians, Boze Vlam couldn't be replaced at will. So, who was this guy that was issuing false divine prophecies and imprisoning her, a [Vassal of The Fla]?
And where was the real Boze?
Thinking about it, she looked at the detestable face, and another question arose.
"...The aura on you... Are you also a Mutant?" The woman rembered her companions.
Mutants, including herself, felt a special connection when eting each other. It was similar to encountering fellow countryn in a foreign land, even though their birthplaces were entirely different. This had almost beco instinctual.
The guy in front of her, who looked similar to Boze Vlam, gave her the sa impression.
"Who are you?" Of course, all of that won’t change the fact that she would still kill this guy.
"Hehe... Heh heh... I am, I am... Hahaha... You can't kill . I can trap you even if I can't kill you." The laughter of the black fla demon, which had been giggling all along, suddenly beca clear.
The woman was startled, turned around, and realized the entire hall had been surrounded by black flas.
Simultaneously, on the scorched red barren soil outside the hall, a mound rose, followed by a charred, thin skeletal hand breaking through the soil. A peculiar undead legion with skeletal figures, including square-headed skulls, crawled out.
This was just the beginning. More mounds began to appear, and a grotesque undead army was taking shape.
The hot pool surrounding the hall boiled even more, as if sothing was stirring in the magma.
"And you can't stop ," said the black fla demon, grinning with eerie white light in its eyes.
"...I can't kill you, nor can I stop you, especially in this place, after all, I am his [Vassal].” The woman said, watching the looming figure in the lava, recognizing it as the forr floor boss she had slain during her trial.
However... Was that really the original floor boss?
"But..." The woman smiled.
Besides being a [Vassal of The Fla], she also has other identities and holds an important position in a certain organization.
Although she was deceived this ti, for the sake of convenience, she combined the task given to her by the organization with the false oracle to set up a trap.
The result was unexpected. Not only did the person he was looking for enter the maze, but a group of special characters also appeared.
“It would be better to let that black haired [Mutant] and that [Vassal of The Light] deal with soone like you.”
