The werewolf leader stared with his crimson eyes at Elder Lawrence, who had transformed into a Worm and was charging toward him.
The werewolf leader did not attempt to dodge. If he did, he would leave the ritual site, and once he stepped away, his plan could no longer proceed.
Entering a state of frenzy, the werewolf leader chose to confront Elder Lawrence head-on. At the same time, he shouted to Irving, "You must help me now! I can't defeat Lawrence in his frenzied state on my own!"
Irving did not immediately agree to the werewolf leader's plea for help. After what had just transpired, his trust in the werewolf leader had greatly diminished.
So, Irving quickly found an excuse: "My companions are in terrible condition right now. I need to ensure their safety first. You'll have to hold him off by yourself for a while."
After saying this, Irving swiftly made his way toward his companions.
