The bizarre skull refused to listen to any explanation from the male wizard, with golden flames constantly rising from its eye sockets. It strode towards the male wizard, raising a hand and slapped down fiercely.
The male wizard's body tensed up and was about to cast a spell to resist, but as soon as the thought arose, the bizarre skull's hand reached him with incredible speed and then slammed down, blocking his entire view.
"Smack!"

Unknown how much time had passed.
In a patch of darkness, light burst forth like flames, and the male wizard woke up as if scalded.
"Huff—ho—"
"Huff—ho—"
After waking in shock, the male wizard panted heavily, feeling unbearable pain in his neck, face, and especially his skull—as if his skullcap was about to crack open.
