ALL MY WIVES ARE BEAUTIFUL ELVES

"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.

Ralph was left in disbelief, his initial taunt having turned into a moment of shock as he witnessed Kan's unexpected transformation. The air crackled with a newfound intensity as Kan, now adorned with a fearless demeanor, revealed the hidden potential within him, he grabbed Ralph's leg and launched him backwards.

[Climax mode activated]

[Impact: 0% ]

[This skill allows you to absorb punches and impact until you reach climax] Hela explained.

Kan, with a mix of surprise and determination, sought clarification. "Absorb punches? What in the fuck are we talking about here? When you say Climax, you mean...?"

[Yeah, you reach a point where you can channel the power of every impact or punch you have received into a single fatal blow. Think of it like being fucked till you hit your peak and have to squirt!!] Hela elucidated.

"Okay, perhaps the added explanation was unnecessary!" Kan quipped.

[You've received an immunity from the system which helps reduce the intensity of the attack on your own self] Hela added.

Kan, ever resilient, brushed off the accumulating impacts.

"Well, that sounds cool. I've taken a considerable beating already; a few more punches won't be a problem, I believe!"

Ralph, still processing the unfolding scenario, couldn't hide his astonishment.

"Is that fear I see in your eyes?" Kan taunted

Ralph, quick-witted and undeterred, retorted with a sly grin, "Oh, trust me, that's not fear. It's just my inner strength taking a moment to savor the challenge ahead. You might want to brace yourself for what's coming – it's going to be quite the spectacle."

Kan laughed at what Ralph just said.

"You think this little turn around will save you? It's just a matter of time before I crush you." Ralph replied.

Kan, however, was not one to be easily swayed. "Crush me? That sounds like a personal problem. Maybe you should try some yoga to ease that tension, Ralph."

Ralph's face contorted with a mix of rage and frustration. "You talk too much. Let's see if your new tricks can withstand this!"

Ralph, now infuriated, unleashed a powerful punch that connected with Kan's face. The blow and the speed and precision. It got it's mark on Kan's face causing him to stagger.

[ Impact: 5%]

"How was that?" Ralph asked, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

"Not bad. Is that all you've got?" Kan taunted back, wiping the blood from his injured lips.

Ralph, determined to prove himself, summoned his strength and sent forth a a fiery pulse at Kan.

Kan at that moment was baiting Ralph. Given the confidence that he could withstand what Ralph threw at him and the sweet promise of revenge, he just couldn't help himself.

Ralph shouted and and his sharp claw-like fingers lighten up with a red coloured wave. Ralph moved his hands backward and forward violently and the pulse went airborne, aimed for Kan. The aura was so strong that it sent Kan airborne.

Upon falling to the ground, another menu appeared before him once more:

[Impact: 15%]

Coughing a bit, Kan got back up to his feet and said..

"It's kind of disappointing that that's all you're made of. I actually really thought higher of you considering your size and formidable form but you're a failure."

"Hey fucker, I'm just warmed up!" Ralph replied with a hint of anger in his tone.

Kan, ever defiant, stood tall, ready for the next onslaught. "Uhmm, quite impressive. Tell me when you're done warming up!"

"You won't know when I'm done warming up because you will be dead by that time," Ralph declared.

"All the best." Kan said nonchalantly.

Ralph, showcasing his fiery prowess, ran with sped towards Kan. As he rushed towards him, his legs underwent a transformation. A red flame like body appeared on his feet, extending up to his knee as he moved.

Ralph jumped and delivered another skull breaking kick on Kan's head. The flame like wave left Ralph's foot and bashed against Kan's head for few seconds before disappearing.

Kan struggled a bit before finally crashing to the ground.

[Impact: 25%]

"What da....! This menu isn't functioning well I believe or maybe this is just the most useless skill I've ever had. The impact I received was way much more 25% damage. I'm confident those strike could have killed a mediocre out there!"

As Kan grappled with the pain, Hela provided guidance. [Patience baby, you can attack after taking a blow of about 50%, you don't necessarily need to make it 100. Climax has two peaks. The first one is at 50% and the second is at 100%]

"Well, I guess I'm supposed to be motivated by that, so thanks," Kan quipped, rising to face Ralph once more.

"You know what? I really thought you were going to give me a hard time when you first blocked my assault, but it was only just for a second, I guess," said Ralph, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

Kan, bloodied and battered but undeterred, met Ralph's gaze with unwavering determination. "Well, underestimating me once again will be a mistake, I believe," he warned, his voice a low growl echoing through the aftermath of their fierce clash.

"The only thing I can do right now is to put you under the ground for good!" Ralph threatened, his anger simmering beneath the surface.

With a menacing aura, Ralph bent forward, forming a bowl with his palms, each facing the other. His eyes closed, a deep concentration etched on his face, leaving Kan in suspense.

"Is he transforming once more, or what?" Kan questioned himself, readying himself for whatever Ralph had in store. "Well, that won't be a problem; I'm ever ready for him," Kan added, his resolve unshaken.

"The worst mistake you've ever made in life was messing with my beloved, Keyla," Ralph seethed with his eyes still shut, his voice carrying the weight of vengeance. The green ball of light formed between his palms, pulsating with an ominous energy.

"Is he gaslighting me now? You don't even treat her right!!" Kan blurted out.

"Shut up!!! I promise you won't live to regret it because this moment will be the last you take a breath!" Ralph threatened, his rage palpable.

In a blink of an eye, the ball grew larger, and Ralph angrily hurled it straight at Kan.

"Yaaaa!!!"

Its speed was peculiar, and Kan realized evading it wasn't an option even if he wanted to. The impact hit him square in the chest, setting his entire body ablaze with searing pain.

For a moment, Kan lost track of reality—whether he was still airborne or lying on the ground, his senses were numb. But as quickly as the pain engulfed him, it faded away, and Kan found himself surprisingly still standing. The newfound resilience granted by the skill had saved him from the brink.

[Impact: 50%]

"Huh? You're still standing?" Ralph couldn't believe his eyes, a flicker of doubt crossing his face.

Kan, now confident in his ability to withstand Ralph's onslaught, flashed a defiant smile.

"I bet you've enjoyed yourself for the past few minutes, huh? Now say hello to true power and strength!" Kan declared with a triumphant smile, the residue of his newfound abilities coursing through his veins.

The impact from Ralph's relentless assaults could have taken a toll on his body, but the immunity bestowed upon him by the system had proved invaluable, allowing him to stand tall once more.

"Use Climax mode!" Kan commanded, and a menu materialized before him:

[Climaxing]

Bending down, Kan channeled an overwhelming surge of power into his right foot. The sensation was both intense and weighty, signaling the impending unleashing of a devastating blow.

Kan was well aware that the consequences of this attack might be dire, but in his quest to vanquish Ralph, he was prepared to harness every ounce of power at his disposal, consequences be damned.

With unyielding focus, Kan fixed his gaze on Ralph, who now found himself on the opposite end of the battlefield. Ralph observed Kan with a mix of curiosity and fear, realizing that something extraordinary was about to transpire.

"What's coming?" Ralph muttered, the anxiety evident in his voice.

After a brief yet intense buildup, Kan bellowed, "Eat this!" In an instant, he propelled himself toward Ralph with incredible speed, his foot connecting with Ralph's chest in a thunderous collision.

Ralph's eyes widened with searing pain, a scream poised on the edge of his lips. Before he could utter a sound, he was sent hurtling through the air at a velocity so great that even Kan struggled to track Ralph's trajectory. Walls crumbled as Ralph soared through them, the sheer force behind the attack wreaking havoc.

Kan, a witness to the destructive spectacle, could barely comprehend the aftermath. However, his triumph was short-lived as another menu materialized before him:

[Climax mode deactivated]

Suddenly, Kan felt a draining weakness sweep over him. The surge of immunity, once invigorating, now revealed its toll on his energy reserves.

Struggling to maintain his composure, he found himself unable to move as his limbs grew heavier. "What is this?" he exclaimed, the realization of his own vulnerability sinking in.

His vision blurred, a disorienting haze clouding his surroundings. It was as if an unseen weight pressed upon him, and despite his best efforts, Kan succumbed to the ground. The echoes of his victory still resonated, but the cost had left him weakened and fatigued.

As he lifted his eyes, he caught a figure walking towards him. His eyes were too blurry he couldn't discern the identity of the person as he began to succumb to unconsciousness.

"Who is that?"
