Chapter 184 - 178. A Weak Man
"Alone?!" Zein raised his brow, looking around once more.
It seemed that this area was an entrance leading to the boss’s area, which was probably situated behind the wall on the far side of the cave, across from the small underground pool not far from their camp. When he strained his senses, he could hear the sound of battle in the distance.
But fighting it without a healer or a supporter?
"Yeah, he’s kind of...furious, hahaha--you understand, right?" Han Shin grimaced, and Zein could easily guess what made Bassena react like that; because it was Zein that got attacked.
"Mm..."
"So he’s venting right now, and it’s always best for us to not get in his way when he goes berserk like that--oh, that’s done, take it off the fire now," Han Shin explained while offering the crackers to the guide.
Zein stared at the gooey, slightly charred substance that Shin took off from the skewer. His mind was rather blank until the healer put that sweet sandwich in his hand. "Try it, have some sugar."
The guide didn’t budge, which reminded Shin of that time when Bassena was disappearing for hours in the Deathzone, trapped inside an isolation domain made by the Specter.

Did it have something to do with why the man attacked himself?
