Last Part: Awakened Yaxoc & Marcus VS Ogamak

Yaxoc stood up, his gaze heavy with the weight of his thoughts.

"No way... Did he really sacrifice himself?"

The image of Marcus wouldn't leave his mind.

"No... He's not dead... I'm sure of that. Maybe he just—"

A voice interrupted his spiraling thoughts.

"Still thinking about your friend?"

Ogamak stepped forward, his tone laced with mockery.

"He's dead, Yaxoc. And now, you're the one left to deal with the consequences."

Yaxoc's fists clenched, his body radiating with a burning angelic essence. His aura flared, pure and unwavering.

Ogamak's gaze shifted to the Gem of Hope still in Yaxoc's possession.

"And you still have that gem, huh? Impressive. But you should hand it over to me."

Yaxoc's eyes darkened as he glared at Ogamak. "And why should I give it to you?"

Ogamak smirked. "Because I need it—to corrupt it. To fill this world of weaklings with despair."

Yaxoc took a step forward, his presence growing more imposing. "Who do you think you are... to call them weak?"

Ogamak chuckled. "There's nothing positive about this world, Yaxoc. And even if you proved me wrong, it would just be false hope—empty actions to manipulate the naïve."

He extended his hand.

"If you truly want this war to end, join me. Stand alongside Yaxocara. Together, we'll deliver the punishment humanity deserves for betraying trust."

Yaxoc's aura erupted. "You're spewing nothing but bullshit!"

A brilliant white light exploded from his body, his wings unfurling, glowing like divine fire.

"If anyone deserves punishment—it's you!"

Yaxoc lunged forward, unleashing a devastating Angelic Flash.

Ogamak barely managed to block, but the sheer impact shattered his arms and sent him crashing into a wall. He groaned, struggling to rise.

"You're still in denial, Yaxoc..."

His fists began to glow.

"Seems like convincing you won't work."

A new voice echoed through the battlefield.

"Of course it won't."

Marcus stepped forward—his awakening burning in his eyes.

Yaxoc's breath hitched before a smirk crossed his face.

Ogamak turned, stunned.

"I thought I killed you with my ultimate attack."

Marcus' fists pulsed with power. "My awakening cheated death."

His stance shifted.

"So get ready, Ogamak. We won't go easy on you."

Ogamak smirked, cracking his knuckles. "Alright then. Round two."

The battlefield trembled as lightning flashed.

Yaxoc rushed Ogamak, landing two powerful blows. But Ogamak dodged, countering with a brutal roadhouse kick that sent Yaxoc skidding back.

"I see... You're determined."

Yaxoc wiped the blood from his lip. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Ogamak smirked. "Allow me to show you."

He blurred forward, unleashing a rapid flurry of attacks.

Yaxoc blocked the blows, retaliating with a swift kick. But Ogamak leapt over him, delivering a precise front kick to his back. Yaxoc backflipped away and chanted.

"Imagination Magic: Imaginary Shurikens!"

Countless shimmering shurikens materialized in the sky.

Ogamak scoffed. "Shurikens? What are they supposed to—"

The shurikens whizzed through the air, faster than the eye could follow.

Ogamak's smirk faded as he dodged, weaving between them with difficulty.

"They're fast... Faster than Sodo's..."

He barely avoided the last two—until they burst into smoke, blinding him.

"Ah! Damn it!"

Yaxoc emerged from the smoke, slamming an Angelic Flash into Ogamak's back, sending him skidding across the ground.

Before he could recover, Marcus teleported behind him, grabbing his collar.

"Say hello to my little friend."

Marcus hurled him into the air and chanted:

"Plant Magic: Venomous Grips!"

Vines erupted from the ground, wrapping tightly around Ogamak's arms.

Ogamak snarled. "You think venomous plants can hold me?"

Yaxoc soared up and delivered another devastating Angelic Flash to Ogamak's gut.

Cracks spread across his body—his arms and neck fracturing.

Ogamak smashed through multiple buildings.

Yaxoc and Marcus teleported to his landing site, stepping forward menacingly.

Ogamak slowly stood, panting.

"Heh... I underestimated you guys."

Demons charged towards Yaxoc.

Yaxoc merely glanced at them— and they disintegrated under his sheer presence.

Ogamak's eyes widened. "Destroying them with just his presence? That's new."

His wounds vanished.

Yaxoc raised an eyebrow. "Healing yourself, huh? Must be that awakening of yours."

Ogamak exhaled. "I like you, Yaxoc."

Yaxoc blinked, confused.

"Not romantically, if that's what you're thinking."

Yaxoc smirked. "Oh, we were absolutely thinking that. But now that you clarified it, I'll let it slide."

Marcus side-eyed Yaxoc. "Wait... Did you seriously think he was gay?"

Yaxoc shrugged. "I mean... maybe."

Ogamak clenched his fists. "Don't make stupid assumptions."

He rushed forward, unleashing slashes.

Yaxoc dodged, flipping above him and stomping his head repeatedly.

"Agh!" Ogamak groaned, momentarily dazed.

Marcus seized the moment.

"Water Magic: Pressurized Drop!"

He struck Ogamak's back, releasing a burst of water pressure that sent him soaring.

Yaxoc teleported in mid-air, grabbing him and slamming him into the ground, leaving a crater.

Ogamak stood, his smirk gone.

"I see… You're getting stronger."

He teleported in front of Marcus, delivering rapid blows.

Marcus blocked, countering with a spinning hook kick. Ogamak dodged and landed a brutal punch to Marcus' gut, sending him reeling.

Yaxoc retaliated with a powerful uppercut, sending Ogamak airborne.

Marcus grinned. "Remember that move?"

"Damn right I do."

Together, they chanted.

"Friendship Technique: Malevolent Showdown!"

Their fists glowed rainbow.

They rushed Ogamak, unleashing a devastating beatdown.

Each strike shook the planet.

Ogamak tried to block, but the sheer force overwhelmed him.

With a final uppercut, Yaxoc sent him rocketing into the sky.

He teleported up, grabbing Ogamak's shirt.

"Looks like you were right." Yaxoc smirked.

Ogamak growled. "I'll wipe that smirk off your face—once I kill your friend."

Yaxoc's grip tightened. "Four seconds have passed."

He threw Ogamak down.

A massive crater erupted on impact.

Yaxoc landed beside Marcus.

"That was our best attack so far," Marcus panted.

"Yeah." Yaxoc nodded. "It was strong."

Before they could react, Ogamak unleashed two massive slashes.

Marcus' eyes widened. "Not again!"

He used his air magic—shoving Yaxoc away.

The slashes struck Marcus instead— exploding on impact.

His body was torn apart.

"No!" Yaxoc's scream echoed.

Exhausted, he crashed into a building.

Ogamak grinned. "There. Got rid of him. Now it's your turn."

A voice echoed behind him.

"Save that for tomorrow."

Ogamak froze.

"You're fighting me now."
