Type-Moon, I heard that after death, you can ascend to the Throne of Heroes?

Nuoyan nodded, looked at Helen who was visibly panicking, smiled and said, "But because Helen is very cute, I forgive you this time... But there won't be a next time. Don't lie again. That's not a good thing. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Hearing this, Helen nodded quickly and promised Nuoyan very seriously: "There will definitely not be a next time!"

"Tianma, please take good care of Helen. I will be back soon..."

Before he could finish his words, Nuoyan stood up and found that his arms were hugged.

Looking down, he found Helen holding his arm tightly.

Just when Nuoyan was in doubt.

"Brother Nuoyan, if you really want to go, then I, I..."

After hesitating for a while, Helen gritted her teeth and said to Nuoyan with a firm look, "Then I want to go with you!"

"Helen, don't you believe me?"

“No, I believe it, I just…” Helen said, holding on tighter, and said, “I just don’t want to be left here and wait any longer.

And I know that Brother Theseus is in all these troubles because of me."

After hearing this, I looked at her with tears in her eyes and a pleading expression.

Nuoyan felt a little headache and subconsciously looked at Tianma.

When Tianma saw Nuoyan looking at him, he quickly turned around, pointed his butt at Nuoyan, and wagged his tail to indicate that he didn't hear anything and didn't understand anything.

"...Helen, be good." Just when Nuoyan was about to say something.

"Brother Nuoyan can't get rid of me. If you don't agree, I will hold you back and won't let you leave!"

Nuoyan was speechless for a while, then patiently said to Helen: "But Helen, it's very dangerous in there."

"It's because it's dangerous that I don't trust you to go in alone, Brother Nuoyan."

"Why, Helen, have you forgotten who rescued you?"

"It's you, Brother Nuoyan, but, but, Brother Nuoyan, you are obviously not as strong as me, not as powerful as me!"

Helen's words made Nuoyan silent for a moment.

He opened his mouth to retort, but found that he couldn't.

Tianma almost laughed out loud again, but when he thought that if he angered Nuoyan again, he would really be put into the little notebook, he quickly lowered his head and pretended to eat grass, as if he didn't care about what was happening outside the window.

"There is a monster in there." After thinking for a while, Nuoyan said again: "He will eat all the boys and girls who enter the maze."

This was not false, for Asterios did eat the boys and girls who were offered to him.

This frightened Helen so much that her body trembled, but in the end she gritted her teeth and looked at Nuoyan firmly.

Seeing this, Nuoyan finally compromised.

So he took Helen to the door of the dark maze.

Along the way, Helen held Nuoyan very tightly, which even made Nuoyan feel a little pain, fearing that he would be abandoned by her.

When they finally arrived at the door of the maze, Helen recalled the rumors about the maze. Looking at the big open mouth of a monster in front of her and the dark and gloomy scene inside, her body inevitably stiffened and her expression became flustered.

Seeing this, Nuoyan asked, "Are you scared?"

In fact, Nuoyan still had no plan to bring Helen into the maze, thinking that if Helen saw it with her own eyes, she would back off.

Hearing this, Helen tilted her head to look at Nuo Yan, but shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid."

"Don't lie, Helen..."

Nuoyan hadn't finished his words with a smile.

"Helen did not lie. I promised you, Brother Nuoyan, so I will never lie to you again." Helen interrupted Nuoyan and acted very tough at this moment.

Looking up, those purple eyes met Nuoyan who was slightly stunned, then he let go of the hand that was pulling his arm and held Nuoyan's hand.

"I know you will protect me, so as long as you are by my side, I will never feel afraid!"

......

Hey, wait, I was teased by a little loli?

When the torch was lit, it illuminated the dark maze.

When Helen took Nuoyan's hand and led him into the maze, Nuoyan finally reacted belatedly.

Promise came back to his senses and looked at Helen who was holding him tightly.

She actually entered the maze, knowing that there was a monster inside.

Her body was shaking constantly, it was the fear that could not be concealed, but even so, the girl just held Nuoyan's hand and did not retreat.

And it was Helen who held up the torch. She raised it high as hard as she could, trying to illuminate the darkness ahead for her promise.

...Not only am I being teased, but now I'm even being protected by a little loli!

Nuoyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But at the same time, the look in his eyes when he looked at Helen had softened a lot.

After all, no matter what the reason, how many people can really be like her, muster up the courage to accompany her and enter this "absolutely inescapable maze" together?

What a respect and trust this is.

therefore,

"Helen...it's really dark here, and too quiet, right?" Nuoyan said this with a smile, and exerted a little force to break free from Helen's restraints.

Just as Helen was stunned and looked at Nuoyan in panic.

A painting appeared in Nuoyan's hand.

And from the painting fell a golden lyre.

"Helen, let's play a beautiful piece of music, and it will dispel all the darkness and illuminate everything..."

Nuoyan said this and looked at Helen, who was slightly stunned at the moment, with a smile.

Then he stretched out his hand and played the melody on the lyre.

And at the moment when the first note sounded, under Helen's wide-eyed and incredible gaze, the influx of light illuminated this dark maze... You know, even in the eternally dark underworld, there was a beam of light that could light up the road to no return for the promise!

Then Nuoyan closed his eyes and gently played the lyre in his hand.

As the sound of the melody spread, wherever the sound passed, the darkness was dispelled and the light illuminated it.

Soon, Theseus, who subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, saw the light that should never have appeared in this dark maze.

Just when Theseus didn't know what was happening, the light came with beautiful piano music and enveloped him.

Such a sudden change naturally alarmed the existence named Asterios in the deepest part of the labyrinth.

He stood up and followed the light... No, to be exact, when he found the light coming, he was panicked and at a loss at first.

Even standing in the light, pursuing the cool natural breeze and fertile forests has always been Asterios's wish.

But when the light really appeared without any warning, Asterios subconsciously chose to escape.

He ran into the darkness, he was avoiding the light.

Asterios wanted to touch it, but was afraid of it.

Until finally, he had nowhere to retreat and no way to avoid it.

So he was finally illuminated by the light, and the beautiful music of the piano resounded in Asterios' ears.

Asterios was stunned for a long time. He stretched out his hands, clenched his fists, opened them, and clenched them again, as if trying to catch the light.

While he was astonished, the long and resounding sound of the piano was like a clear spring, clarifying his heart and soothing his emotions.

So naturally, Asterios followed the direction of the sound of the harp.

He started out walking slowly, then walking faster, and finally running quickly.

His movements and the terrifying brute force made the entire maze tremble.

Similarly, Theseus, who was wandering in this maze, naturally followed the sound of the piano and the light, and walked towards the direction of his promise.

When Theseus finally came to the source of the sound and saw Promise playing the lyre and the beautiful Helen beside him, Theseus was not happy.

He even sat down with a bitter look on his face, sighed, and said: "Ah, it seems that it is indeed a dream before death. After all, the promise and Helen again...

I guess only dreams can satisfy me! "

"But before I die, I can still hear the sound of Nuoyan's piano playing, so it's not a loss!" After saying that, Theseus simply leaned against the wall of the maze, closed his eyes and rested.

Helen blinked as she watched the situation. Just when she was about to say something, she found that Nuoyan had opened his eyes at some point and blinked at her.

So Helen didn't say anything and stood quietly beside Nuoyan.

Listen to the sound of his piano playing and watch the bright sunshine shining on him.

As if she wanted to engrave him forever, Helen's eyes were now full of reflections of the promise.

After a long time, the ground of the maze began to shake, as if it had sensed something. Theseus opened his eyes and stood up with a serious face.

Helen subconsciously grabbed the corner of Nuoyan's clothes and leaned against him.

Then Asterios arrived.

Nuoyan also stopped playing.

He raised his head and looked at the terrifying minotaur in front of him.

The two looked at each other, although Asterios's scarlet eyes were like those of a wild beast, and he could not speak, but could only roar.

But Nuoyan still saw gratitude in his eyes.

So the promise smiled,

"You monster, don't even think about keeping your promise in your dreams..."

On the side, Theseus, who was watching this scene, although had no weapon, still clenched his fists and was ready to block Nuoyan and Helen.

Nuoyan smiled and pointed to Theseus standing beside her.

"Want to thank me? Then go ahead and help me beat him up."

"......Huh?" (X2)

Helen tilted her head and looked at Nuoyan.

Theseus was confused by the promise.

Isn’t this a dream?

Why is the promise in my dream so harsh to me?

Asterios was also stunned, looked at Theseus, and then turned back to look at Nuoyan in confusion.

"Yes, beat him!"

Nuoyan nodded and said calmly and seriously: "You're welcome, as long as you don't beat him to death... Helen, if you don't feel relieved, you can still do it yourself."

“…Huh?!”

Now, not only Theseus, but even Helen herself was confused.

Although she kept hearing Nuoyan say along the way that he would definitely beat Theseus up, Helen always thought that Nuoyan was just saying that in anger.

After all, aren't you good friends?

As Helen was thinking this,

Asterios let out a roar, then jumped up, and caught Theseus who was unable to dodge under Helen's dull gaze.

So a war broke out.

As fate would have it, Asterios battles Theseus!

However, because he always thought it was a dream and the incident was sudden, Theseus was soon pinned down by the Minotaur.

It took several punches and slaps before he reacted.

This is not a dream!

Hiss—it hurts!

"Wait wait, Nuoyan, I was wrong, I was wrong, please save me!"

"Helen, Helen, save me!"
