Acnologia sends stronger physical attacks at Alex after approaching very fast. He swings his claws so wildly like a mindless beast. But it actually makes the fight harder for Alex because Acnologia's moves can't be predicted.
Furthermore, his attacks are getting much stronger now. Even when Alex parries the attacks, he still gets most of the damage. He even feels like Chomei's strong exoskeleton will break if this keeps going on.
Then after a while, Acnologia suddenly sends a powerful straight punch at his body. Alex has moved back to reduce the effect, but Acnologia is already used to his tactic, so Acnologia himself moves forward in a flash.
Acnologia's punch lands cleanly on Alex's chest. The punch is imbued with magic and coupled with Acnologia's already powerful physical strength, it becomes incredibly powerful.
Alex is sent flying back like a rocket despite his giant size. He eventually falls onto the sea and slides on the water with a rolled body. Then after a while, he crashes onto a really tall volcano.
Acnologia punches him toward a rather big island with a really big volcano on it. Lava constantly comes out of the volcano even though it's not about to erupt. When Alex crashes onto it, more lava spills out of the volcano mouth because of the tremor.
Alex grunts in pain because that is a really strong punch. Even Chomei's very hard exoskeleton is cracked by that punch. But if that attack was a little stronger, then the exoskeleton would break, so Alex really thinks he is lucky now.
He holds his chest while looking at Acnologia that flies really fast toward this island. Alex quickly looks around and feels relieved when he senses no people here. There are many magic sources, but he can tell that those are just magic beasts.
"I can't keep fighting in this form. Now that there's land to stand, my option has increased. And this volcano, I can use it."
Alex quickly transforms from Chomei into Som Goku, still in full-size form. He quickly climbs the tall volcano and reaches the peak very quickly. The lava around the peak actually feels nice when he touches it.
"Just the lava alone might not affect him with all his immunities. But it'll be different when it's infused with my magic that can affect him."
Alex puts his big red monkey hands on the volcano crater's mouth. Then a very wide dark red magic circle covers the entire crater. The big volcano shakes violently, creating a strong earthquake all over the island that scares the magical beasts.
"Meteor Volcano!"
*BOOM*
The volcano suddenly erupts even though it was calm just now. Alex forcibly makes it erupt with a very great power. The lava shoots high into the sky, passing even the clouds.
In the next moment, numerous burning meteors fall from the sky. They aren't real meteors, but the lava from the erupting volcano. The massive amount of lava spreads into smaller pieces that are still as big as cars.
A rain of lava balls fall from the sky toward Acnologia. The gravity accelerates their speed and they are densely packed, so it is very difficult for Acnologia to dodge them. Well, he doesn't even need to dodge them anyway because he can just destroy them.
Acnologia shoots a Dragon Roar, but it's much wider than before. Its total power is still the same as his previous Dragon Roar despite its wide size. So the damage level on every square meter is lower because the power is spread.
Even so, it's still incredibly powerful because it can destroy all of the falling lava balls into smithereens. Alex has thought of the possibility Acnologia could destroy the lava meteors, but he is still surprised seeing Acnologia destroy them all with a single breath.
Acnologia quickly moves toward him again, so Alex prepares another attack. He takes a deep breath and shoots a green flame beam from his mouth. It pierces through the air, coming toward Acnologia at a very high speed.
"Monkey Flame Arson!"
The flying Acnologia stops and also takes a deep breath. He intends to fight this attack head on with his Dragon Roar and then, a clash of 2 powerful spells happens. A dragon's breath vs a giant monkey's breath.
Alex's green Monkey Flame Arson can hold for a while, but as he has thought, Acnologia's Dragon Roar overpowers him quickly. The Dragon Roar breaks through the green flame beam, coming toward Alex, so he is forced to jump away, making it hit the volcano.
Even though it's already weakened by Alex's green flame beam, the Dragon's Roar still destroys the volcano's upper half, making the lava inside the mountain visible from the sky now, and it starts flowing down onto the forest below the mountain.
Alex couldn't care about that now though because Acnologia already reached the island. He wasn't too far from the island before and now he's already above Alex. Then Acnologia dives onto Alex, but Alex jumps to the left to dodge it.
He can dodge that, but he fails to dodge Acnologia's tail swipe that comes very fast. Alex is sent flying to the forest, crashing onto many trees and destroying them. His gigantic body clears a wide and long path of the forest.
Before he can even get up, Acnologia already jumps on him. The Black Dragon grabs Alex's giant Monkey neck and pins him down on the ground with left hand. Acnologia swings his right claws toward Alex's chest, but Alex suddenly disappears.
Alex doesn't disappear though, he is returning to his human form, which is much smaller, so he can release himself from Acnologia's grip. He appears around the center of his stomach as the giant Son Goku, so he barely dodges Acnologia's claw attack.
Acnologia is surprised when Alex suddenly disappears. Before he can understand what happens, he suddenly gets attacked from below. His stomach suddenly gets hit by a powerful attack and he is sent flying up.
When he falls back onto the forest some distance to the left of his previous position. He looks at his stomach that has 3 deep and long claw marks. It's deeper than any of his wounds so far, but they are still not very deep, only reaching his abs muscles.
He looks to his previous position to see what has just hit him. There, he sees a giant 9 Tailed Fox growling and looking at him menacingly. Alex transforms into the full size Kurama and sends a very powerful claw attack at Acnologia before.
They stare at each other while standing tall, towering over the forest. Both of them stay silent for a moment before suddenly roaring at the same time, causing all the creatures on the island to run away in fear.
After roaring, they charge toward each other, ready to put their all. Well, at least it's true for Alex because he is running low on magic power. His only choice now is going all out with his attacks, giving his all for a better chance of defeating Acnologia.
Alex in Kurama form is much more nimble than when he was in Chomei or Son Goku forms. He agilely dodges Acnologia's attacks while sending his claw attacks.
His right claws are glowing golden bright as he uses Kurama's Yang element, while his left claw is blackish from Kurama's Yin element. Kurama is the most proficient with Yin and Yang elements among the Tailed Beasts.
Alex likes using them when he transforms into Kurama because while he still doesn't really understand these elements, he knows how destructive they are.
After dodging some attacks from Acnologia, Alex uses his long tails to catch Acnologia's limbs. 2 tails for each limb to make sure Acnologia can't break free. So he uses 8 of his tails, while the last tail is wrapped around Acnologia's body.
Alex suddenly bites Acnologia's neck with his sharp fangs. Then with his free hands, he makes a pair of big Tailed Beast Bombs. Acnologia tries to break free, but Alex uses all his power to hold the Dragon.
He forms the big Tailed Beast Bombs quickly and slams them on Acnologia. The one on the right is slammed on the head while the one on the left is slammed on the body. Both Tailed Beast Bombs explode at the same time, creating powerful explosions that engulf both Alex and Acnologia.
The explosion actually blasts Alex away, throwing him like a ragdoll. He crashes and rolls on the forest before stopping when he crashes onto the remaining lower half of the volcano. But his condition isn't good at all.
He used all his power on that attack and didn't even think of defending himself from his own spell effect. That was a really strong attack that could greatly injure its own user. His giant fox body is full of injuries like flesh wounds, bruises, or burnt fur and skin.
Alex is injured so badly and he also runs out of magic power that he can't maintain his Kurama form and returns to his human form. His injuries aren't so deadly and not the worst he has ever had although they are still really bad that he can't move his body.
Now, he can only hope that he is blessed with a very powerful miracle by the Gods that could make his all-out attack kill even Acnologia. Of course, he knows he is hoping too much because his opponent is the strongest being under Earthland's sky.
Acnologia shows up when the smoke and dust disappears. There are injuries on his head and left chest that got hit by the Tailed Beast Bombs. The scales on those areas are broken and burnt pretty badly.
Blood comes out of those injured spots and also his mouth, showing that he also receives internal injuries. But it seems to be still far from enough to take him down because he still looks at Alex while grinning sinisterly.
Acnologia flaps his damaged wings and flies higher slowly. He can tell that Alex has run out of power, so he knows it's already over. That's why he is very surprised to see Alex slowly stand up and look at him with a fierce gaze despite being unable to do anything.
Seeing it, Acnologia scoffs before gathering a lot of magic power in his mouth. He shoots a very powerful Dragon Roar at Alex who can't do anything about it. Then in the next moment, Alex is gone along with the whole island, destroyed by the powerful Dragon Roar.
