Marvel: I'm a Symbiote

88 ‹Leader Class›



Just as Laura came out of the bunker, there was a huge blast as hundreds of bolts of lightning descended on Laura. Those bolts of lightning were so dense that they would've vaporized any normal being.

But instead of Laura's skin sizzling as it burned, and her brain frying due to the huge electric discharge of the lightning, all she felt was endless power. Power, that coursed through her veins, her skin, and her skeleton.

That endless power made her regain the blue glow in her eyes, but this time it was stronger and denser, overpowering the natural green of her eyes. If one looked into her eyes, all one would see would be a glowing blue color. This was the ability of ‹Atmospheric Burst›, derived from ‹Intermediate Lightning Manipulation› though it was much stronger than it would've been under other circumstances.

‹Atmospheric Burst›:: The user can attract the surrounding atmospheric lightning by gathering the charged clouds. The lightning will then rain down on the enemies to kill them or on the user to enhance their abilities. Cooldown: 5 hours

The cooldown was still the same sadly.

Her entire body started radiating thin arcs of lightning as they danced over her skin. Her extended claws acted as the perfect conduit for lightning and the bolts formed a net-like structure between both pairs of claws that extended out of her hands. Even her blood was coursing with lightning as it enhanced her reflexes and contained the stray lightning.

Alex was only bonded with these three aspects of her body. He was using her blood as a conduit to contain the stray bolts of lightning that would've otherwise fried her internal organs.

All this happened within mere seconds as Laura's loud roar was heard through the nigh-million-strong abomination horde that was also screaming. As the lightning stopped, there was a slight lull in the battlefield as the abominations almost seemed a little intimidated at Laura's display and her figure that was bathing in lightning.

[This is amazing, Alex…] Laura was feeling amazing and she knew who the reason for that was.

[Just get me the EP. I'll be more than satisfied if we can get stronger after this.] He told her.

Laura smiled after hearing his words and moved.

Just as she reached her first would-be kill after this transformation, her extended claw was blocked by a crimson-red sword. Laura's eyes instantly homed on the wielder of that sword and she realized that this was one of the ‹Leader Class I› abominations that had attacked the bunker.

[What's with the blood…] Laura mentally commented, [Blood domes first, now blood swords. And this thing is equivalent to my claws…] The fact that the sword could easily parry her claws was a testament to its durability.

[Pay attention. This isn't going to be an easy fight.] Alex brought her back from her rumbling, [You're getting overconfident…] He told her.

[Oh, come on—] Just as she was about talk to Alex sarcastically, the abomination moved quickly and sliced its sword at her midsection. Laura was an instant too late as the sword grazed her torso before she blocked it with her claws and was thrown back.

[Told you so…] She heard Alex's mocking voice as she flew through the air.

[All right, I get it.] She rolled her eyes.

Using her foot claws, she planted herself on the ground before blocking the follow-up attack of the abomination. This time, the leader was pushed back slightly as bolts of lightning started hitting it after extending from Laura's body. The bolts left a light char on its body after they hit the leader, leaving the area smoking.

Realizing Laura's situation, the leader jumped back and created what seemed like some throwing darts over its palm and threw them at Laura. Who promptly dodged them and tried to close the distance.

'Do abominations have some sort of Blood Manipulation?' Alex thought as he saw the leader effortlessly create the blood constructs.

The leader reacted to Laura's movement by sending some of its personally controlled grunts to attack her. It was going to try to snipe her.

[Don't get hit by the leader's attacks. They'll impede your healing factor.] Alex told her after noticing that the graze on her stomach wasn't healing up as quickly as it should. It would take a minute or so. And considering that it was a light graze, it should've healed up in an instant.

Laura grunted in response as she started attacking the abominations. This time though, there was a distinct difference in their actions. If before, they were just acting instinctively, now, they were acting with coordination. It wasn't any real trouble for her, the situation was sure as hell annoying. They were stalling her so that the leader could keep attacking her with its blood darts.

Laura understood the situation and acted accordingly. She willed more lightning to be released from her body as the sparks on her body increased in intensity and every time she sliced through an abomination, the attack would extend to its surroundings and attack the surrounding abominations. It was the same with the appendages coming out of her back, they were supercharged as they sliced and absorbed the abominations.

Soon, a third appendage extended out of her back and started working in perfect coordination with her. With the high intensity of the fight, the duo was able to better understand each other and their coordination was getting stronger.

Each of their actions had a sense of harmony as if the appendages extending out from Laura's back were her own. Even the lightning was responding better and better to her attacks. Their connection was getting stronger even now as they both were lost in the euphoric feeling of the connection between them while the battle raged.

Laura had a huge smile on her face as she sliced through the abominations that would now explode in a burst of lightning with every slice as she dodged the darts thrown by the leader.

Alex's appendages were even more brutal, stabbing through 3 or 4 abominations at once and exploding them in a burst of lightning that severely damaged the surrounding abominations. Alex made sure to devour every dead abomination as the ‹Regenerative Class› abominations in the horde would keep getting up and attacking them.

Soon, Laura had killed more than a thousand abominations as the leader wasn't able to send any more coordinated ones after her. This allowed her to pave a path through them that led to the leader.

And the leader understood that it couldn't keep delaying this fight. It could feel four stabbing auras on its back, observing it, evaluating it. If it dared to act cowardly anymore, those four auras promised anything but good for it.

Making the decision, it grabbed the blood sword and focused its intent on the sword, extending the blade so that the leader would be able to maintain the advantage of distance over Laura so that her lightning wouldn't affect it.

Not wanting her to have the initiative, it met Laura halfway as it interrupted her from slicing through another abomination by blocking her attack with its sword. Laura's smile under her mask widened as she was happy that the abomination didn't run and instead chose to clash with her.

Relying on the fourth appendage that had just burst out of her back to support her, she extended her leg up and cut off the abomination's hand, which promptly exploded in a burst of lightning.

Meanwhile, she finished up the abomination that she was already fighting.

"You're getting sloppy." She commented as she saw it with some smoke coming out of its body while a bit of its flesh was charred. The hand had already regenerated and the chars on its body also promptly disappeared. The regeneration factor of the leader class was comparable to the normal regenerative class. This meant that Alex would have to devour it as soon as it lost resistance.

The leader didn't react to Laura's taunt and swung its sword in her direction. Its maneuvers with the sword were trained enough to depict that it wasn't just working on instinct.

Laura blocked the sword as two appendages from her back attacked the leader in front of her.

The leader shouted a war cry and in the center of its open mouth, a blood sphere formed and blasted Alex's appendages that were about to pierce through its torso. The blood sphere hit Alex's appendages and pushed them back with an explosion of blood.

At the same time, the war cry attracted stronger abominations as two stronger ‹Animal Class› abominations arrived. They were another bear type and an ape this time.

Alex's four appendages extending from her back got busy with those abominations, so Laura would have to take care of the leader on her own. After releasing the blood bomb, the leader seemed a little winded and Laura didn't leave the opportunity, approaching it and attacking.

They exchanged a few moves and it was quickly determined that Laura was the superior combatant. Her reflexes were faster, her technique was better, and even her physique was stronger than the lone ‹Leader Class I› abomination. Especially with the overwhelming presence of lightning within her every attack. With all these factors combined, the leader was no match for her without some tricks.

It tried its best to beat Laura but once it realized the futility of its efforts, the leader decided to go with a pragmatic approach. The look in its eyes turned into a look of triumph as its body started bloating. Even as Laura pierced its head, the bloating didn't stop.

[That's my EP, you motherfucker!] Laura heard Alex scream inside her head and a huge mass of black exploded from her body, reaching the abomination within an instant and dissolving whatever suicide attack it was about to release.

[Pfft… Haha~] Laura couldn't stop mentally laughing as she was extremely amused by Alex's reaction. He had a million abominations to devour here and he was concerned with a few measly EP that this ‹Leader Class I› would give.

[+2 EP] The Leader Class gave 2 whole points of EP. Which was more than a Spider-Man.
