The maze was built starting with the mother skeleton replenishing its magic.

"Everyone, dig properly, don't slack off."

Lance commanded his skeletons and zombies to dig open the hole that was blocked by rubble.

In the very center of the room, next to the original tombstone, a new tombstone has been added, with Martin's name engraved on it.

All of it was done by Angelica, and the former priestess insisted on burying him no matter what.

Kindness is the most sincere emotion in the world, but excessive self-sacrifice can be fatal.

Lance also explained this principle to Angelica.

Angelica answered very seriously:

"So I died."

Without making excuses or preaching, she gladly accepted her fate and chose to uphold her kindness.

After finishing all that, Lance finally had time to check the system notifications that had been accumulating for a long time.

It's too much.

Start by killing the Bone Hounds.

The level 20 skeleton hound gave 400 experience points, and Lance leveled up from level 15 to level 17.

At the same time, the [King of the Labyrinth] ability is activated.

In terms of skills, [Imperial Swordsmanship LV5] and [Enhanced Jump LV3] were revealed.

In terms of talent, Lance has acquired three talents: [Elite], [Sword Stance], and [Master of the Labyrinth (Kru Labyrinth)].

Monsters with the [Elite] talent will have their attributes greatly enhanced, directly distinguishing them from ordinary monsters.

Lance was very satisfied with all the gains he had made so far.

Once he began to examine the effects of the talent "Master of the Labyrinth," his chin remained agape.

First, let's look at the literal interpretation of the system.

[Master of the Labyrinth (Kru Labyrinth): Freely controls everything within the labyrinth. If the King of the Labyrinth obtains this talent, he/she will also gain the skills "Expansion," "Conquest," and "Production."]

The Labyrinth King is a "unique" class, possessed only by Lance, meaning that only Lance can enjoy the additional effects of this talent.

After acquiring this talent, Lance gained three more skills in his skill bar: [Expansion], [Conquest], and [Production].

[Expansion: Expanding the maze downwards]

[Conquer: Opens portals to other dungeons; maintaining these portals will continuously consume mana.]

[Production: Consumes magic to produce monsters in the dungeon; monsters can be imbued with their own skills and talents]

That is,

Lance can now not only build his own labyrinth, but also open portals to conquer other labyrinths.

They can even create monsters themselves, and even bestow their own talents and skills upon these monsters.

No, of course not.

Of course, that's not all!

The moment Lance defeated the Bone Hound and became the master of the labyrinth, he could feel his own will merging with the labyrinth.

He is the labyrinth.

Therefore... the entire maze is within the effect range of the [King of Mazes]!

What does this mean?

All lives lost in the labyrinth will trigger the [Labyrinth King] effect, granting Lance experience and skills.

This also includes Martin, who just died in the maze.

[Kill Human Adventurer (LV20)]

Experience gained: 400 points

[Level Up: LV.17 → LV.19]

The "King of the Labyrinth" talent effect has been activated.

[Plundering Class: Hunter]

[Plunder Talent: Calm Aim]

[Plundering Skills: Explosive Arrow LV3, Binding Arrow LV3, Disguise LV1]

Each profession provides additional attribute bonuses, and using the skills of that profession can increase profession experience and raise the profession level.

For example, the Hunter class can provide bonuses to health and accuracy, and offers the class skill Camouflage.

Most professions have a maximum level of 10, while a few special professions have a maximum level of 5.

[Calm Aim: The longer you aim, the higher the damage of your arrow.]

Lance really likes the combination of "calm aiming" and "camouflage."

Then we'll buy a huge bunch of skeletons with this combination in bulk from the maze; just thinking about it makes me feel powerful.

Of all the skills, Lance's favorite is [Production].

It allows Lance to put all his useless skills to good use, such as applying [Blood Explosion] to zombies or [Corpse Poison] to maze bats.

However, such powerful skills should have limitations.

With an experimental mindset, Lance tried to get the maze to produce a new skeleton.

really.

A level 1 blank skeleton instantly depleted Lance's magic points.

There wasn't a single drop left.

Not only is the resource consumption high, but it takes 12 hours to produce a blank skeleton. Unless production is canceled, a second monster cannot be produced during this period.

This mechanism is quite similar to the unit creation system in RTS games.

The entire maze was a military camp.

Moreover, this is without Lance having bestowed any skills or talents upon him; otherwise, it would have required even more magic power and time.

But... that's nothing!

Time? Time is the one thing he has plenty of!

Magic? Angelica's maximum magic power increases by 300 points with each level up!

The monsters in the maze can't die, so once created, they retain their value forever.

It doesn't rely on mass production of troops; it relies entirely on numerical values ​​and game mechanics.

Wow, just hearing the description makes me feel the amount of feces.

Lance opened the system and checked his current panel.

Lance has mastered all the skills and talents of all the monsters in the entire labyrinth.

Besides skills and talents, the Skeleton Hound also emitted a white ball of light, which hovered directly above the room, seemingly visible only to Lance.

Because it was too bizarre, he left it for the final inspection.

[Remembering (VII): Fragments of Memories from the Hunting Dog Kru's Life]

Goodness, it smells amazing.

Lance stood up and reached out towards the ball of light. The light burst forth instantly and engulfed Lance's body.

......

After an unknown amount of time, Lance gradually regained consciousness.

Unlike the dark corridors of the maze, a shallow stream flows in front of you, dividing the area in two. Green grass grows all around you, while clusters of blood-red flowers bloom on the opposite side of the stream.

A gentle breeze stirred up ripples.

The sky was as blue as a mirror.

Ah, the sky.

It's the sky!

Lance was very excited when he saw the sky of this world for the first time.

But why is the field of vision so low?

"Kru, my good buddy, are you awake?"

I heard voices nearby.

He was a middle-aged man with a thick beard, wearing a gray cloth coat.

He was very burly, able to block the wind just by standing there, and spoke with a smile on his face, as kind as a neighbor having a casual chat with you.

"Who are you?" Lance asked.

Then, he froze.

Because what he was speaking was neither the language of monsters nor the common language of humans.

Instead, it's "Woof woof woof".

His dog barked a few times!

By the way, this is the memory of that stupid dog. Lance is now playing the hound Kru, no wonder his field of vision is so low.

But it never said it was going to be played in first person!

Can't I use the third person?

As the thought flashed through my mind, the view was conveniently switched to a God's-eye view, like a camera recording the story unfolding in the scene.

Lance breathed a sigh of relief; at least he didn't have to be a dog anymore.

Without Lance's control, Kru began to happily circle around his master, sticking out his tongue and frolicking.

Tsk, it was so cute when it was alive, but it became so awful after it turned into bones.

next second.

The world of memories began to collapse from its boundaries, and a beam of white light shone down from the sky, once again engulfing Lance.

When I came to my senses, the scene had already changed.
