Although these were superficial flesh wounds, the more the Barbarian warriors struggled, the more grievous their injuries became. Each movement felt like death by a thousand cuts, a slow dismemberment, and this horrific condition made them scream in agony.
What was even worse was the plight of the white wolves. Under Grendel's intentional control, grass reaching a man's leg height completely submerged them.
Many people misunderstood Grendel's strength. She was an heir to a tribe; her upbringing in the environment of the Mountain Barbarian Tribe proved her strength could not be weak. Otherwise, she would not have held out for so long against the Witch.
