His body listened to him, and with a final, Herculean effort, Alex launched himself upward from the beast's tongue.
His body rocketed through the air, a blazing comet of Phoenix flames.
The heat and light were so intense that the beast's flesh began to sizzle and char.
The beast roared in agony, its body convulsing as the flames tore through its insides.
It tried to close its mouth, but it was too late.
The destructive force of Alex's attack was too difficult to handle.
His body had charred right through the roof of its mouth, and had shot right up, coming out on the other side.
He had essentially used his own body as a projectile.
The beast's massive form stopped all movements in an instant. Its wings stopped flapping, and it started to plummet back to the planet's surface.
