By now, the Sphinx was obviously cursing Virus internally as its expression contorted to many incomprehensible shapes.
"THIS ONE IS THE HARDEST SO FAR SINCE THE ANSWER DEFINITELY NEEDS TO CONCUR WITH THE LETTER 'O' IN 'ECHO' AND THE LETTER 'N' IN 'VOLCANO' SINCE YOU ALREADY FILLED THEM AS SUCH. SO, TELL ME THIS…"
"WHAT TIME IS SPELLED THE SAME FORWARDS AND BACKWARD?"
"Noon." As laid-back as ever, Virus answered, obliging the monster to fill the row with his intended letters.
ROOOOAAAR!
Listening to the Sphinx roaring as if it had just experienced the worst loss of its life only made Virus feel like he was watching an amusing live drama in front of him. In fact, he kind of missed having a cup of tea right now.
What was supposed to initially amuse and entertain the Sphinx had now turned into a game that entertained Virus instead.
"T-THAT I-IS CORRECT! YOU MAY ENTER THE THIRD TREASURY!"
