All we know is that he is not dead. How he survived is not really mentioned in the anime, though.

My personal theory is that the attack did not happen as we were shown, and Kaiki, a self-proclaimed unreliable narrator, lied to us. After all, Kaiki narrates Koimonogatari, and he starts the novel version by telling us that he's a liar and we shouldn't believe anything he says. Then at the end he narrates his own death, but later, more reliable narrators tell us he's alive. This is probably explained further in the third season novels, though.

That is an excellent theory! The fact that the author might have integrated us into one of Kaiki lies sounds awesome!

just wanna highlight that the anime series is not in chronological order as the light novels https://www.reddit.com/r/araragi/comments/1mezh0/the_orders_to_monogatari/

To sum it up pretty simply,

Chronologically, Hanamonogatari is the last story in the entire Monogatari series. So, what we see there is about all we get, unfortunately.
