As the warhammer left, Laine clenched his right hand into a fist, enveloped in blue flames, and smashed it into Bireg's right cheek. The Barbarian Chief's face deformed like a mass of mud under the invincible iron fist, several yellowing teeth flew from his mouth, and Bireg's mind turned to mush under the enormous force, leaving him incapable of thought.
Then, the golden warhammer hit squarely on his forehead, with a thunderous explosion.
The tall Barbarian Chief fell, red blood flowing down his head, life rapidly ebbing from his body. He struggled to lift his hand but immediately let it fall again, his gradually unfocused pupils told the whole story; watching his blood pool on the ground, he felt his once-proud strength drift away with his consciousness as infinite darkness descended.
