Seeing the three vicious dog heads wreathed in flames drawing ever closer, Sisyphus couldn't help but panic.
"Got honey cake? Throw it to him quick!"
Ancient Greeks had a custom of placing a honey cake in the coffin of the deceased, aiming to appease Cerberus, the Hellhound. They hoped that after feeding this monstrous dog, the soul of the departed would not be harmed by Cerberus.
Fortunately, as a lesser deity serving Hestia, the Goddess of the Hearth, Luo En's magic circle diagram was well-stocked with this easily preserved food.
As Sisyphus was cornered to the edge of the river Styx, Luo En decisively sketched out a line of Hermes script and flung a honey cake into the air.
"Woof!"
Suddenly, Cerberus, previously glaring menacingly at Sisyphus, abandoned the bipedal creature in front of it and, drawn by the sweet scent, leapt up with a low growl, swallowing the falling honey cake.
