Within the labyrinth the duo continued their travels to get to the end, they knew they were still far from it since it's only been a few minutes since they last saw the Lord of Ice.
The boulder was no longer an issue but there was still more to come, it was naive to think there were no more obstacles that'd stop them from going any further.
The straight path they were traveling would open up into a rectangular chamber where twenty soldiers sculpted out of ice stood facing the area beyond the duo in a long horizontal line , their backs turned to them.
This would change once Seiya and Tsukumo entered the area, causing the duo to react by reaching for their weapons immediately as the soldiers prepared to act defensively.
The soldiers didn't plan on having anyone get past them and since they had no capacity for speech, they acted without reservations about the travelers of the labyrinth.
