Alexei's enormous claws collided with his duplicate, producing another tremendous shockwave across the military road. Both werewolves twisted their bodies before striking again, their movements almost identical.
However, the difference remained painfully obvious.
His opponent possessed greater physical strength, and each successful attack forced Alexei backwards. Several deep wounds covered his shoulders, while blood continued dripping from his broken left arm.
'Fuck, this bastard really is stronger.'
Alexei lowered his body before charging forward, swinging his right claw towards the creature's abdomen.
His fist struck the duplicate's stomach, forcing the creature backwards several steps. Yet before he could follow, its enormous claws swept towards his exposed chest.
Alexei twisted sideways, avoiding most of the attack. Unfortunately, several claws still tore through his ribs, leaving three enormous wounds across his body.
"AGHH!"
