"So if we can break this maze, can we continue our journey?" asked Minsook who suddenly grabs his spell book out of nowhere.
"No one can break this maze no matter how powerful a person is."
"So what should we do?" asked Kichul, the three ends of his trident shining brightly.
"We can just pass through it. It won't be easy, so guardians, prepare yourself," said Sungmi while knocking the wall using her chain, "come on out. We are ready to play."
Sikyung was screaming and hiding a little behind Myungwoo as a golden statue slid closer from the dark entrance. It's shining so bright until they need time to recognize what's coming to them: it's a sphinx. It's more mythical than the sphinx that Myungwoo ever saw in the news: it has human (male) face with long wavy black hair, its body looks sturdy and full of muscles; however it doesn't have human lower body but it has lion lower body including the tail; and it's sitting on an altar while its right leg is holding a crystal ball against the altar. The sphinx is so big that they thought the sphinx was a statue, but it finally talked and made Sikyung scream once again.
"Kim Sungmi, Kim Myungwoo, Cho Bonhwa, Kim Minseong, Lee Daesun, Park Minsook, Choi Kichul and Kang Sikyung. I've been expecting all of you here."
It talked with a deep and loud voice, Myungwoo found it familiar, just like Prince Bialaer's voice when he talked.Â
"I know you must be expecting us to solve your riddles. So tell us the riddles."
"I know that all of you love games, you know, like your training session."
"They love games. So what do you mean by that?"
"So instead of riddles, how about all of you try to win the mini game inside to pass through the maze?"
