Axel dug his heels into the ground, launching forward with all his strength, throwing a powerful punch aimed directly at Mictlantecuhtli's face. But the god of the dead was faster, effortlessly sidestepping Axel's attack. In a fluid motion, Mictlantecuhtli grabbed Axel's wrist, twisting him off his feet and hurling him like a ragdoll toward the wall.

Before Axel could react, Mictlantecuhtli was already upon him again. This time, a fist aimed at his gut. Axel shifted his body to the left, dodging just in time—only to realize it was a feint.
