Sean's bones cracked and popped loudly as his body surged into a berserk state. Without hesitation, he swung a fist straight at Azure Scaled.
Azure Scaled, still basking in his fleeting sense of triumph, suddenly felt a fierce gust of wind roaring past his ears. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. He turned his head just in time to see Sean's furious face—and a fist barreling toward him.

The punch landed squarely on Azure Scaled's face. Already battered and drained from the earlier fight, his injuries left him vulnerable. The impact sent him flying over 100 feet through the air.
"Damn it!"
Azure Scaled cursed internally. Taking a punch wasn't the worst of it—what really stung was missing his best chance to escape. He scrambled to get up, but before he could, an overwhelming pressure descended upon him like a tidal wave.
The Domain of the Dead had enveloped him once again.
