Chapter 13: The Return Of Bambon

Ogamak stared down at Bambon, his smirk unwavering. "Didn't I humiliate you earlier?"

"Yeah," Bambon admitted, rolling his shoulders. "But that doesn't mean I'm making the same mistake."

Ogamak stepped forward, eyes gleaming. "Then prove it to me."

"Oh, I will. Just you wait." Bambon dropped into a fighting stance.

Without hesitation, he dashed around Ogamak, searching for an opening.

"Ah, classic move." Ogamak slammed his foot into the ground.

The earth trembled violently as shockwaves erupted outward. Bambon stumbled from the sudden impact, disoriented by the quake.

Ogamak wasted no time. He thrust his palm forward, sending a powerful gust of wind that hurled Bambon back. As debris scattered into the air, Ogamak raised another hand, manipulating the wreckage and launching it toward his opponent.

Bambon gritted his teeth, regaining his footing just in time. With swift, precise blasts, he shattered each incoming piece of debris before they could reach him.

Suddenly, Ogamak teleported beside him, aiming a lethal kick at his ribs. But Bambon reacted in an instant—leaping over him and driving a flying kick straight toward Ogamak's face.

Ogamak smirked as he caught Bambon's leg mid-air. "Nice reflexes… but that's nothing."

He swung Bambon downward, slamming him into the ground before launching him into the sky with a devastating kick.

Ogamak raised a hand. A barrage of slashes shot toward Bambon, slicing through the air with deadly precision.

Bambon twisted mid-air, dodging each one. He clenched his fists, energy crackling between them. "Spiritual Beam!" he chanted, firing a concentrated blast toward Ogamak.

Ogamak sidestepped effortlessly—but then his eyes widened slightly. The beam twisted unnaturally, curving backward before striking him from behind.

Smoke engulfed the battlefield. Ogamak, unfazed, waved his hand, clearing the haze. With a flick of his fingers, he summoned countless slashes, surrounding Bambon from all directions.

Bambon's eyes darted around. "Tch…"

The slashes closed in. Bambon vaulted over them, firing a blast at Ogamak.

Ogamak effortlessly deflected it with a single finger.

But before he could react, Bambon teleported next to him, aiming a powerful kick. Ogamak caught his leg once more, a shockwave bursting from the impact.

Bambon yanked himself free and retreated, sweat forming on his brow.

"You seem tired," Ogamak mocked.

"I'm far from it," Bambon shot back.

"Sure you are." Ogamak vanished, his afterimages encircling Bambon in a blur of speed.

Bambon narrowed his eyes. "Damn… if I don't interrupt this now, he'll land a fatal hit."

With a fierce roar, Bambon slammed his fist into the ground, creating a massive crater. Dust and rubble surged into the air.

But Ogamak's technique continued.

Bambon's eyes widened. "What the hell…?"

The afterimages vanished—only to be replaced by a colossal planetary-sized slash descending from above.

Bambon clenched his fists. "How the hell do you exaggerate this much!?"

Ogamak chuckled darkly. "I'm just built differently."

Bambon's blue eyes flashed. His energy surged, shifting into Super Aqua.

"This won't touch the planet!" Bambon roared, charging an immense energy beam.

"Spiritual Blue Beam!"

The beam erupted from his palms, colliding with the massive slash. The entire battlefield trembled under the clash.

Saviors watched in awe.

"A huge slash!?"

"What does this mean!?"

Hannah, watching from afar, tried to keep everyone calm. "Don't worry. Someone's handling it."

"But how is that gonna stop a slash?"

"There's no way one person can hold it back!"

"Stop whining!" a savior snapped. "If they're clashing against it, then they must be strong."

Hannah sighed. "Enough. We have more important things to do. Protecting the gem is our priority."

"But how do we protect it if demons keep getting stronger?"

"By attacking, duh."

"Attacking blindly won't work," Hannah said firmly. "We need to organize into teams."

Meanwhile, the clash continued.

Bambon gritted his teeth as the force of the slash pushed him back. "Damn it… I can't hold it forever!"

Ogamak's laughter echoed. "Give it up, anomaly! You're nothing but a pawn!"

Bambon roared as a second aura—red—flared beneath the blue. His energy skyrocketed.

"TRUE POWER… TIMES 100!"

His beam exploded in size, completely engulfing the slash and sending it hurtling into space. The explosion rippled through the skies.

But then—Bambon's heart sank. The energy had stripped the land bare. Nature withered. Plants died instantly.

"This is bad…" Bambon whispered.

Ogamak chuckled. "Exhausted, aren't you?"

Bambon's transformation flickered, his power draining.

"It's been fun, anomaly." Ogamak lifted his arm. "But I'm afraid this is where you die."

He swung his blade—only for Bambon to vanish.

Ogamak barely had time to react before a powerful kick sent him crashing into a wall.

Ogamak groaned, a grin spreading. "Nice hit."

Bambon stood tall, a white glow outlining his body. His eyes flashed.

Ogamak's grin widened. "I think I recognize this one."

Bambon's presence alone felt overwhelming. He didn't charge—he simply walked.

Ogamak lunged, throwing a flurry of strikes.

Bambon dodged every single one.

Ogamak teleported behind him.

Bambon vanished.

Before Ogamak could react, a thousand blows landed in an instant. He was hurled back, coughing blood.

Bambon continued his slow, menacing approach.

Ogamak wiped his mouth. "Tch… playing passive like an idiot, huh?"

Frustrated, he summoned countless slashes, filling the sky. He snapped his fingers—each slash honed in on Bambon.

Bambon sighed. "Futile."

Ogamak clenched his fists. "You're pissing me off!"

Bambon exhaled sharply—then punched the air.

A burst of wind pressure sent Ogamak staggering.

Before he could regain his footing, Bambon appeared behind him, driving a fist into his spine.

Ogamak crashed through multiple buildings.

Slowly, he rose, seething.

"Fine…" His aura exploded. His claws grew. His true power awakened.

"Be grateful," Ogamak said, voice twisted with madness. "You'll be the first to witness my true form before I erase you."

Bambon's glow intensified—until his transformation shattered, revealing his final form.

"Ultra Divine Reflex."

Ogamak grinned. "Now we're talking."

The battle resumed—each strike shaking the heavens.

Bambon outmatched him at every turn. But just as victory seemed certain—

SHLICK.

Ogamak's claw pierced Bambon's torso.

The transformation shattered.

Bambon gasped, collapsing to his knees.

"Not so cocky now, huh?" Ogamak sneered, lifting his blade.

But before he could strike—

A blinding light erupted in the distance.

Ogamak turned, momentarily distracted.

Bambon seized the chance, teleporting away.

Ogamak growled, clenching his fists.

"To be continued…"
