Egill dodged the blow and fell to the ground, hastily beginning to crawl backwards, dragging himself on his elbows when Kjell punched the wolf in the face, who stood motionless, moving his head backwards.

"What... what the fuck is happening to you... S... Sander?! Did... did you become like those monsters?!" he exclaimed, terrified, positioning himself in front of Egill and the other soldiers to serve as a human shield.
