As Ahli saw Jaws of the Moon approach Night Crawler, he felt the time just slowing down. The scene in front of him was somehow happening in slow motion, like those in the movies. With every step taken to approach the ghoul, the wolf could be seen clearly in how it would launch its attack, and Ahli knew that nothing he could do.
[Wait, nothing I could do? This is Progressive mode!]
Realizing this fact, Ahli looked around and searched for anything that he could find as a weapon, as he had left his short sword in Lanek in order to not attract any attention. He regretted it now and wished he had not done that.
