ALL MY WIVES ARE BEAUTIFUL ELVES

Chapter 161 New skill activated?!

"Shall we?" Ralph uttered in a guttural manner.

"Cute..." Kan said, Ralph's transformation unfolded in a wild and rare spectacle. However, Kan remained steadfast, unshaken by the formidable sight before him.

The atmosphere crackled with tension as Kan faced the now ferocious Ralph. "Pretty sure you are cowering now, wondering if you can take this," Ralph taunted, showcasing his massive hands and flexing his formidable muscles.

"It's not about the size; it's about what you're made of," Kan replied, his demeanor unwavering in the face of the supernatural adversary.

Ralph laughed sarcastically, "Well then, have at it, scum!!"

Kan scoffed at what Ralph said, and the two squared off, the air charged with the impending clash.

Ralph anchored his left foot into the ground, causing the earth to yield to his strength. He smirked, "lemme get this done real quick!", his red eyes bore into Kan with a readiness to unleash a deadly assault.

With a powerful leap, Ralph descended upon Kan, his massive fist aimed at Kan who didn't anticipate the move.

Reacting swiftly, Kan used both arms to shield his head from the devastating blow. The force propelled him downward, and as he struggled to rise, Ralph, in his transformed state, proved overpowering.

Pinning Kan to the ground, Ralph's intention seemed to be to bury him, evident as Kan's legs visibly broke the ground's surface. Realizing the dire situation, Kan summoned all his strength and pushed Ralph away, creating a momentary reprieve.

"The new improvements are the only reason I haven't been squashed just yet!!!" Kan muttered, realizing the help the system was giving him in an indirect way. He had barely had time to really check out the rewards from the escapades from the previous night but he did see flashes of his stats improving.

Regaining his footing, Kan assessed the situation. Flexing his muscles and cracking his neck, he devised a strategy.

"Considering how big he is now, he can't be as fast as I am. I'll try to attack him in different areas all at once; he doesn't have the speed to block attacks simultaneously," Kan reasoned.

He bent a little and bolted towards Ralph, as Kan got close to Ralph, he leaped and executed a powerful blow with his knee on Ralph's jaw, striking with extraordinary speed and strength.

Ralph, now big, unable to match the speed, succumbed to the hit, sent airborne, and crashing to the ground.

Kan wasted no time, relentlessly pummeling Ralph.

"Puh! Puh! Puh!"

"You...think...you...can...take...her...away...from...me?!!"

Each punch aimed not only at Ralph's face but also at destabilizing his mental fortitude. Blood-covered Kan's fists, yet he pressed on, determined to weaken his formidable adversary.

After a relentless assault, Kan paused, after he noticed there was no movement or motion coming from Ralph's side anymore. He knew Ralph must has succumbed to unconsciousness or maybe dead.

To his surprise, he was met with a face smiling back at him instead of the blacked out face he was expecting.

"Is that all you've got? I thought you'd never get tired. Hmmmph!! I'm disappointed," Ralph taunted.

Confounded by Ralph's resilience, Kan prepared for another assault, this time, Kan planned to crush Ralph's face beneath his foot but before he could react, Ralph retaliated.

A swift kick to Kan's legs, followed by another to the chest before Kan could even touch the ground, sent Kan reeling backward airborne, colliding with a wall on the opposite direction. The force was great that the wall fractured upon impact.

"Okay, that definitely broke something!!" Kan chuckled in pain as he struggled back up to his feet.

Kan was surprised at such speed coming from a huge figure like Ralph.

"Such speed....?"

Before Kan could fully understand what was happening, Ralph closed in with alarming swiftness, delivering a massive blow on Kan's mouth.

"Don't talk before the sight of greatness unless you're told to do so," Ralph silenced Kan with a swift punch again.

The blow was such a heavy one that it blinded Kan for a second or two.

"What the..."

Upon gaining his vision back, the first thing he saw was Ralph's fist coming straight to his face with great speed once more.

Kan knew this blow was meant to end his life so he musttered every strength in him and moved away to the other side.

But before he could fully evade the blow, he felt a strong hand around his neck.

"Where do you think you're going to, huh?" Ralph asked with his hands wrapped around Kan's neck, lifting him slightly off the ground.

Ralph propelled Kan with force back to where he was, the power behind that throw was so enormous that it sent Kan crashing through the already cracked wall, leaving him battered and writhing in pain on the ground.

Blood trickled down his mouth and forehead. He pushed out his tongue and as he suspected, the punch from earlier had loosened one of his teeth.

"This is getting serious!" Kan declared, spitting a mixture of blood and determination onto the barren ground. Surveying the desolate surroundings, he realized the new environment mirrored the emptiness of the previous battleground, the street were also empty; no people or vehicles moving around.

And it wasn't like he could get any help, he was a safe distance away from the hospital.

[You're face to face with a primal wolf, Kan, a rare breed of werewolves. They are exceptionally strong and hard to bargain with!!] Hela's voice echoed.

Kan, undeterred, sought crucial information. "Nice to know what I already know. However, would help a great deal if you'd tell me his weakness," he demanded.

Hela hesitated, then responded, [About that...]

"Don't tell me this fucker has got no weakness!!" Kan interrupted, already guessing what Hela was going to say.

[Yes, they don't have any weakness for now but...]

"But what?" Kan pressed impatiently.

[This form, as calculated by his size shows he is still a long way from full maturity and peak strenght. It should only lasts for give or take, 5 minutes. If you can survive the next 3 minutes, then we're good], Hela finally revealed.

"That explains why he's eager to kill me at once. I would love to last for the next 3 minutes but..." Kan's words trailed off as he saw Ralph's figure looming above him.

Seizing the moment, Kan directed his strength to his legs, delivering a powerful kick that sent Ralph's massive form crashing to the ground.

Rising quickly, Kan poised for the next strike, acutely aware of the crucial moments ticking away. He awaited Ralph's reaction, ready for the impending clash.

Ralph, still on the ground, chuckled, "You're quite strong, you know. No one has survived this long when they encounter this version of myself. Sad enough, the universe will be missing such a young talent as you. Because I will kill you."

"Hey, I love the optimism! ," Kan retorted, fear absent in his resolute tone.

"Something about your tone now makes me regret not piping your girl but guess what? After we are done, I'll get straight to that amigo!!" Kan taunted Ralph some more.

Ralph, fueled by anger, leaped from the ground, his speed seemingly escalating. Ralph launched an attack on Kan with his feet, aimed for Kan's head.

The kick was supposed to be a skull breaker, despite Kan's agility, he managed to evade the full weight of the assault but Ralph's kick landed partly upon his face, hitting his jaw again so hard that dribbles of spittle flew out like a projectile. Kan backpedaling, began to stagger.

Kan managed to keep his footing, realizing Ralph was running out of time in this formidable form. Ralph was annoyed that Kan was still standing not dead so he decided to go for the peculiar move.

With a final, decisive move, Ralph positioned himself. He moved his right foot behind and rested one of his hands on his lap. His concentration palpable.

"Spear!!!" he shouted, channeling all his strength into propelling himself into the air with precision and unnatural speed like an unstoppable force. Kan, caught off guard, felt the full impact of Ralph's assault. Ralph hit the spot he aimed for; Kan's chest, sending himself into Kan like an actual spear and in the process, nearly breaking Kan in half.

This attack sent kan helplessly tumbling in the air.

Airborne for agonizing seconds, Kan hit and slid on the ground, the force of the blow reverberating through his entire being.

Eyes bulging, chest heaving, and limbs going numb, Kan found himself on the brink of defeat, grappling with the physical toll of Ralph's devastating attack.

Kan struggled to find his footing, his attempt to stand thwarted by the disarray in his senses. Hela's voice reached him, a faint murmur in the midst of the chaos within his mind.

"Fuck!!! Okay, three minutes might be a long time afterall!!" Kan coughed out, holding his chest in pain.

With blurry vision, Kan saw Ralph rising from the ground, irritation etched across his formidable features.

Ralph, vexed by Kan's resilience, thundered in anger, questioning why his adversary had not succumbed to his devastating blow.

"Why can't you die? I hate you!"

Angrily advancing towards Kan, Ralph aimed to break his opponent's neck, a move he believed would ensure finality.

Yet, Kan, battered and almost defeated, whispered to himself, contemplating his dwindling chances of survival. "I don't think I can survive any longer with this guy here; I have to do something else."

Hela's voice became more audible, offering an alternative.

[You can choose to go Berserk Mode and face him head-on. It would most likely even the power struggle out or you'd outrightly overpower him!!], she suggested.

Kan, panting from the aftermath of Ralph's assault, rejected the idea. "No, considering how devastating the mode was the last time, I will opt for something else."

[Okay baby. Why not try the new skill you got from last night?] Hela asked.

"Yeah, hit me with that!" Kan agreed, ready for a change in strategy. He would have loved to go through the pros and cons as he would usually do since he didn't get to check it out previously. But in such a dire situation, he opted to throw caution to the wind.

[Initializing new skill]

Before Kan could fully process everything, Ralph unleashed another powerful attack, this time aiming for Kan's neck. The blow, fierce and precise like those before, seemed destined to land.

"Puh!"

"Huh?"

Ralph, taken aback by the unforeseen turn of events, stared at Kan in disbelief. Instead of the customary evasion, Kan had intercepted the powerful blow with a seemingly effortless defense.

Kan, with a swift and surprising maneuver, blocked the strike with his fingers.

With a confident smile, Kan addressed his formidable opponent, "Tell me, do you bleed?"
