Shingi knew he could make it to another chest, but he didn't have enough time to unlock it. So he had made a poor decision, taken a risk, and paid the price.
Although the price, in this case, was his life.

He had come near death many times, both as Ameanum and Shingi, but there was always a way out, but he could do nothing this time. This time, unlike in the past, he had things to lose, people who would miss him and be truly sad about his death.

Spiked chains appeared and moved faster than even he couldn't react to and started surrounding him. The spikes pierced even his bones, bringing an incredible amount of pain. Screams could be heard through the maze as the chains were getting tighter and tighter.
