Chapter 15: Awakened Yaxoc (Filled with HOPE) VS Awakened Ogamak

Ogamak looked at Yaxoc and grinned at his transformation.

"I didn't expect that gem to choose you," Ogamak said.

Yaxoc took a step forward. "I will end you now."

"I'd like to see you try," Ogamak replied.

Yaxoc lunged at Ogamak, barraging him with relentless attacks, but Ogamak dodged each strike effortlessly and countered with a powerful punch, sending Yaxoc flying backward.

"I'm not done with you yet!" Yaxoc growled, quickly recovering and landing two tense blows that disoriented Ogamak. He followed up with a strong kick, launching him away.

Ogamak caught his footing midair and retaliated, slashing at Yaxoc repeatedly.

Yaxoc charged forward, dodging each strike before landing a devastating punch to Ogamak's gut, followed by a sharp uppercut.

Ogamak staggered, dazed.

Yaxoc clenched his fist, which began to glow white.

"Angelic Flash!" he chanted, slamming his fist into Ogamak's chest.

Ogamak was sent flying, crashing violently into a building.

Yaxoc teleported in front of him, watching as he struggled to stand.

"Not bad for the so-called 'strongest savior of today,'" Ogamak mocked, wiping the blood from his face.

"I underestimated you, savior. You really aren't joking," he admitted.

Yaxoc lunged again, aiming a kick at Ogamak's gut, but Ogamak dodged and slashed at Yaxoc's face with a sharp claw strike. Yaxoc blocked it with his left arm and countered with a powerful punch, sending Ogamak soaring through multiple buildings.

Before Ogamak could recover, Yaxoc teleported above him, grabbed his face, and slammed him into the ground, creating a massive crater.

Ogamak quickly flipped away just as Yaxoc landed with a thunderous stomp, shaking the ocean itself.

Ogamak immediately took to the skies, flying away at full speed.

"I need to lose this guy and focus on the others... especially that damn woman and the gem," he muttered.

Yaxoc's eyes burned with rage. "Where the hell are you going, you son of a bitch?!"

He launched himself into the air, the sheer force parting the clouds.

Ogamak increased his speed, but it was useless. Yaxoc caught up in an instant, delivering a brutal punch to his back, sending him hurtling into space.

Ogamak barely had time to compose himself before Yaxoc struck his gut with another devastating blow.

Yaxoc unleashed a furious barrage of punches before finishing with a blindingly powerful Angelic Flash, shaking the solar system itself.

Ogamak, gritting his teeth, retaliated with his own flurry of attacks.

Yaxoc dodged every hit and countered with an uppercut, but Ogamak blocked it and struck Yaxoc in the face, momentarily stunning him.

"Now's my chance!" Ogamak roared, charging his ultimate attack.

"Take this, Yaxoc!" he bellowed, unleashing a massive slash.

Before it could reach Yaxoc, a barrier appeared, blocking the attack.

A figure stood between them.

Yaxoc's eyes widened. "What…?"

It was his sister—now a fallen angel.

Ogamak watched intently. "A fallen angel… That's rare."

Yaxoc, still in shock, stared at her. Tears welled in his eyes. "What do you mean?"

She looked down, guilt written all over her face. "We abandoned you, little bro. We couldn't help it. We thought you were too independent to need us, so we left for our own good. We were too careless to see the consequences."

She pulled out a photo and handed it to him.

"Mom died months ago, before you joined the academy. The principal told us before he was killed too… all thanks to that bastard Lucius and Ogamak's influence. They kidnapped us, hoping to use us to find you… to kill you… so they could rule this world."

Yaxoc darkened as he listened, his fists clenching tightly.

His sister placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I saw everything you did. You wanted to save people—even your friend. But you felt like you weren't capable of it. That's what led you here… You may be reckless and stubborn, but you're by far the greatest person I've ever known. I wasn't able to visit you for so long… And since I died, I became a fallen angel. Now, I might just become nothing."

Yaxoc grabbed her shoulder.

"There's no need to apologize. I understand now… After all this time, I finally understand."

His eyes flashed white with rage.

"Because of YOU!" he roared.

Ogamak's eyes widened.

"A powerful presence… What is that?" he thought.

A white figure appeared beside him.

"You're going to get what YOU DESERVE!" Yaxoc screamed, his fists glowing brighter than ever.

Ogamak narrowed his eyes. "This power… It must be an archangel. This isn't HOPE itself… Someone is guiding him."

Yaxoc's sister closed her eyes.

"I don't have much time, so I'll say this once…"

She smiled softly.

"Protect those you love the most, no matter how hard it is to do it alone."

Then, she dissolved into dust.

Yaxoc's anger erupted. He dashed toward Ogamak at incomprehensible speed, delivering a punch so powerful it sent Ogamak through multiple dimensions.

"Agh! That speed!" Ogamak groaned as he tumbled through the multiverse, catching glimpses of countless outerverses.

"The Infinitverse…" he murmured.

Before he could react, Yaxoc reappeared and landed two devastating hits. Ogamak barely dodged and countered with a slash—but the sheer force of his attack annihilated an entire outerverse.

Yaxoc ignored the destruction, landing another brutal punch and crushing Ogamak's hand with his knee.

Ogamak stumbled forward, regaining his balance before unleashing a flurry of slashes, each one devastating an outerverse.

Yaxoc dodged them all, redirecting one slash back at Ogamak, cutting his cheek.

"Smart move," Ogamak admitted.

He lunged at Yaxoc, landing two solid hits before grabbing his collar and slashing his left eye.

Yaxoc cried out in pain but retaliated instantly, punching Ogamak with a force that sent him flying through dimensions.

Teleporting behind him, Yaxoc grabbed his back and hurled him into The Void.

He reappeared in front of Ogamak, his voice echoing with fury.

"THE ARCHANGEL IS ON MY SIDE! AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DEFEAT IT!"

With another Angelic Flash to the gut, the force shook The Void itself.

Ogamak gasped in agony. "Damn… this power…!"

Yaxoc raised his fists, which now glowed like miniature stars.

Ogamak's eyes widened as he saw three spirits beside Yaxoc—Marcus, Moonlight, and Luna.

Yaxoc chanted.

"PILLARS OF HOPE: VENGEANCE FIST!"

He struck Ogamak with a final, devastating blow. The impact not only shattered The Void but shook the very fabric of Semi-Reality.

Ogamak coughed up blood, crashing back into the solar system.

Yaxoc teleported behind him and hurled him down to Earth, slamming him into the ocean and triggering a colossal tsunami.

Ogamak rose weakly from the water, his body cracking under the sheer force of Yaxoc's power.

"You… You're using faith now?" he murmured in disbelief.

Yaxoc's aura flared. "I WILL PROVE TO HIM THAT I AM A TRUE WARRIOR!"

Ogamak, now intimidated, took a step back.

Before his demons could react, Yaxoc eradicated them in an instant.

"It's just you and me now," he said coldly, his eyes glowing ominously.

Ogamak sighed. "I underestimated you. But someday, I'll return with my full power… and I will kill you."

Yaxoc simply turned away.

"You're already dead."

Ogamak barely had time to react before his body exploded—obliterated by Yaxoc's aura.
