Terrifying Roar

Leaving the path was easy. Everyone could run out with ease, including the priest who had to stay back till the end. 

Without a single trap activating, so far, everything and gone by without a hitch, and no more casualties. 

Everyone started walking down the same path that they had entered through. To their sides, they could see the rotten trees, the fallen leaves, apple cores that were half consumed.

Everything that they saw on their first trip down this lane, they saw once more. 

And soon enough, they could see it. The entrance, or rather, the exit to the holy grounds. A circular portal that was exactly similar to the one that they passed through. 

No one said anything. They knew what they had to do. 

Everyone took out their weapons, and continued walking forward.
