What is the trap in the labyrinth that awaits beyond the suspicious rumors?
The third volume of the dark fantasy comic book filled with blood and ash!

“There is a treasure hidden deep in a hidden room on the third floor of the labyrinth.”
Although it was a strange rumor that was suspicious and dangerous enough, Iarmus and his party, including the free knight Sesmar, decided to enter the Labyrinth in order to kill time.
Just as Iarmus had imagined, what awaited him in the hidden room was a sudden “alarm” sounding, and monsters appearing as if in response.
Furthermore, as if on cue, a trap opens up and Garbage falls out!
Garbage fights alone against the robed man and undead monsters that appear at the other end of the pit, but he is overwhelmed by the numerous spells and the horde of corpses and is powerless to do anything…
