He charged forward, his axe raised high, catching the desperate thrust of a spear with a deft twist of his wrist. The soldier holding it, trembling and half-naked, barely had time to react before Egil's weapon came down in a savage arc, biting deep into his shoulder. The impact severed flesh and bone, sending the man collapsing to the ground with a strangled cry, his spear clattering uselessly beside him.
