Cain cast a glance at Alen, who had been utterly silent, his vacant gaze resembling that of someone trapped in one of Anya's illusions. Irritated by the lack of response, Cain lightly smashed Alen's head against the ground once more.
Boom!
"Hey! Answer me! Are you deaf?!" Cain's voice was sharp, his patience wearing thin.
Despite the blow, Alen remained unresponsive, his empty eyes staring into nothingness. Frustrated, Cain struck again, this time with more force.
Boom!
This time, the impact cracked Alen's forehead, causing blood to stream down his face and jolting him back to his senses.
"Huh?" Alen became confused because when he came back to his senses, his vision was blurry and had a red color effect as blood was all over his face.
"Answer me!" Cain slapped his right cheek as he was irritated that Alen acted like nothing had happened before.
