Alex had started charging up a tramendous amount of demonic energy all over his body, so much so that the wind currents went wild and the sky around them twisted. Xalvagon looked down at Alex, almost annoyed and unimpressed "Hm.", he scoffed. As Alex's power rose dramatically, Astavel was in shock too, seeing something that could have been considered to be Alex's full power was something she couldn't fully understand "Is that.... his raw energy alone? No. The term raw isn't quite it. What is this guy?!". Alex on the other hand had started thinking to himself, his head was faced down as his power rose "This is odd. I'm strangely excited than usual today. Am I just having too much fun, or I'm just over thinking everything. Doesn't matter at all tho.", Xalvagon's voice echoed through the sky "Is that all you've got? Or you are still charging up. From the looks of it here, I think you're just wasting my time.". Alex responded, his smirk was a taunting one "Ah? What's that? You're not impressed? I didn't ask you too.", Xalvagon seemed irritated at the fact that Alex could talk back at him. Xalvagon, a being considered to be a demon lord that took over the world in a week, wasn't someone that could be spoken too so casually. Even people like Dairadel was well careful of what he said to him, and then there was Alex, someone who had killed all of his allies. Alex couldn't really care much about Xalvagon and how scary he was, that was the thing that made him annoyed "Seems to me like you just want to die.", Xalvagon said, his fingers starting to spread apart. Alex's hands and legs turned into thick red demonic energy, his smirk became more michevious and malicious. In an instant he had blitzed upwards towards Xalvagon's standing point In air, his instant movement was so fast that even Xalvagon's eyes widened with shock. He immediately stretched his hand out to parry Alex's strike that seemed to have made an attempt to claw the skin off his face. Alex on the other hand was just happy, seeing someone who was nothing but a challenge to him was a feeling that had always made him excited, either in a deranged manner or an aggressive one. "Why you....!", Xalvagon growled before he and Alex continued their high speed combat. Both fighters were running at speeds faster than light, trading powerful blows that caused explosions of energy and destroyed the battlefield around them. Xalvagon's arms were covered with sharp armour, so every wave of his hand was sharp enough to cut through anything. But as for Alex, even tho he wasn't at full power, he was still very much keeping up with Xalvagon like it was nothing. Xalvagon had gotten tired of this exchange, he stretched out his hands in a twisted manner, slashes of energy that took the shapes of nets had covered the world around them, heading towards Alex in a flash. Alex immediately picked up the place, dodging the net slashes that chased after him. The ground was split into all sorts of pieces, slashes flew after Alex, but the demon boy sprinted with excitement. He dodged through the barrage of slashes like it was some kind of game. No, it was like an obstacle course to him. Alex didn't really feel the danger of the battle, otherwise he would have been more aggressive as he fought. Alex turned back, facing the slashes as his legs were no longer touching the floor and his hands and legs were spread apart, he had remanifested the ultimate blade of death he was previously holding, and started cutting through the slashes with dangerous sword skills. Alex did not miss a single slash, no. Not a single slash had made it's way to him and fulfilled its role of cutting him open. Xalvagon flew into the air like a missle and then dropped in with a kick, his kick looking like a spear that flung down at an enemy. He was able to make contact with Alex with this kick, rubble and debry flying everywhere. But as expected, Alex had blocked it with his ultimate blade of death, his face still holding a dangerous grin that showed no fear, it was the opposite. [EXCITEMENT], Alex was feeling nothing but excitement. He said to Xalvagon, his voice was that of an enemy who taunted his opponent "What's wrong? You aren't looking as irritated as you used too. Or is it that you don't see me as pathetic anymore? Hey, Xalvagon. Answer me would ya?", Xalvagon had gotten tired of the taunting and went for a brutal punch "RAAAH!", Alex's smirk only became more excited as if he was waiting for the perfect moment to do something that would devastate his opponent. Suddenly, Xalvagon got hit on the side of his face, a flash fists was the thing that did the job. Xalvagon was amused, but not In the way you'd think "How? When did he....", Alex stretched out his hand into the air "YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE MORE FROM WHERE THAT CAME FROM!", multiple glimmers of light sparkled across the air before they fell down like rain. The power from his flash fists had overpowered Xalvagon, so much so that he could only try to hold them off as his his body was being burned "AAAAAH!", explosions of energy were set of like nukes. The entire wastelands was being incinerated by Alex's raw power alone. And speaking of Alex, the demon boy was just laughing. His arms stretched apart as the destruction around him unfolded "Hahaha! Haha! Manh, I'm so hyped. What else is in this world that is so exciting for me? What other enemies do I have to face?! I want to know! I want you to tell me! I want to make sure I can keep getting stronger!". As if his prayers were being answered, an arrow of energy flew out of the explosions caused by his flash fists, blasting a hole through Alex and flinging him like a blade until he crashed into something. Debries fell down as he sat in a crater, the hole In his stomach closing up "Ah, man. I got too excited again.", he looked forward. What Alex had seen infront of him was something that gave him chills, but they were not chills of fear. The shadow of Xalvagon walked out of the explosions and fire caused by the energy fists that Alex had shot. Xalvagon walked out, his arms had turned into dark purple energy, his eyes were also black and purple in colour, and dark dragon wings spread out from his back, both wings being three times Xalvagon's size. Xalvagon called out "SPECIAL TRANSFORMATION: GIRANTINA MODE!", purple energy that resembled lightning shot out from his body. But to Alex, that form of Xalvagon had resurfaced him a memory he thought he had forgotten. It had triggered a memory of Seiten, the transformation where he had turned his body into yellow energy, his hands looking like that of a wild dragon. Seiten's psychotic dragon like smile was what Alex had remembered, his eyes narrowed "You...". Xalvagon's voice rised "What? Have you gone cold from realising the power difference between us now? You animalistic peasant.". Alex got up, his face shadowed by his hair "No. Quite the opposite actually.", he looked forward, his red eyes glowed coldly "It's just that you remind me of someone so hateful that I fought a few months ago. That's all.", his tone had gotten cold and serious. Xalvagon's eyes narrowed "Alright. Then let me re-enact that same feeling. Only difference now is that you'll die.". Alex was now fully serious, his face was nothing short of a cold assassin who just wanted to fulfill his objectives "I'll mangle you.", he replied. His voice being the equivalent to a promise of death.
