Puyol's vision blurred, and his mind fell into chaos.
Agonizing pain spread from his brain through his entire body.
It nearly drove him out of his mind, yet left him conscious.
Blood streamed from his head.
Through the haze, he heard footsteps and struggled to get up.
He braced his hands against the ground, only to collapse again. His eyes widened as he looked toward the sound, but his vision was too blurred. All he could make out was a dark shape.
