"Congratulations; you finally managed to slay a Specter by yourself," Bassena said as they landed near the pile of boulders.
"Easy...peasy..." Zhan said through panting breath and heaving chest.
Gus also pointed his blade at Bassena. "Don't...need you...anymore...Boss..."

"Is that...?"
"Yeah," Zhan replied without lifting his head, too spent to move another muscle. "The darn worm managed to get through when we were busy with the Specter."
"But don't worry," Gus added swiftly when he caught the guide's grim expression. "Everyone's alright since we managed to alert them."
Zein and Bassena raised their brows. "How?"
