The clash erupted instantly.
The gray werewolves of the Third Hunting Squad tore into the group of zombies with coordinated ferocity. Roran led from the front, his spear thrusting through a zombie's chest before he ripped it sideways, tearing the creature apart. Two other warriors flanked him, using their claws to shred limbs and crush skulls. The remaining squad members moved in perfect sync, preventing any zombie from breaking through their formation.
Vikram fought alongside them. His silver fur gleamed as he spun his spear with deadly precision, impaling one zombie through the head and kicking another away with raw power. For the first few moments, everything went smoothly. The squad's discipline and teamwork kept the undead at bay.
Then, a thunderous roar shook the trees.
