The dungeon boss had been defeated, and everyone else had left the dungeon as it was about to close down; all except Aiden.
You could see the nervousness in the eyes of everyone who had been watching that entrance and waiting for Aiden to pass through.
The dungeon's outer structure rumbled again, and this time it was beginning to sink back into the ground.
Katherine looked like she was about to take a step forward when suddenly a portal with a bluish hue manifested outside of the dungeon itself.
Aiden stepped out through his own portal, and you could see the smiles returning to the faces of everyone who had been waiting for him.
And with that, the dungeon situation at Shinjin's Pass came to an end.

Everyone returned to the Academy, including Alaric and the rest of his party.
Katherine had insisted and made sure it was that way because she wanted to have Alaric and his party given the best treatment within the Academy's infirmary.
