There is a hot, blinding big light being cast from his staff which hits the goblins hard. The goblins are screaming in pain and as the light has gone, there is no more trace of that creature.
"Wow I think you're so powerful now, Dark guardian," said the man with an axe, "you're making me scared now."
"But thank you for helping us open the doors," said the other man.
"Hey!"
But before Minsook could say anything else, the two men were running into the entrance behind him. Minsook is hesitating for a while, should he follow them or walk forward? But his feelings tell him to walk forward, so he follows that feeling. He runs forward and he enters another small alley, but there is something different about this alley. Minsook can spot a ray of light, and as he runs faster, the light is getting bigger and fills the entire alley. Before he could realize it, he steps out of the alley into the outside of the maze. His eyes are still adapting with the light as he is looking around - it must be still in the morning as he spots the sun is in the East. But he is alone there - he thinks he is. But suddenly there was a loud voice talking to him.
"Dark Guardian Kim Minsook, you're the first person who found the way out."
Minsook recognized it as the sphinx's voice.
"Now you can wait until the other people come. You did an impressive job."
Minsook is sitting down while facing the maze while praying that any of his friends will appear after finding their way out, and there is nothing bad will happen to Daejoon and Kichul.
"If only I didn't make that agreement... but I have no other choice..."
