บท 322: Chapter 320 Death
The enemy of the enemy is indeed a friend.
Lorna and Eddie, both human, found common ground and formed a swift alliance against the extraterrestrial Symbiote. In a moment, their hostile stance turned into a united front.
"Do you think the two of you, either heavily injured or depleted of strength, can stand up against me when you join forces?" The blonde little girl licked the blood from the corner of her lips as she spoke with her eyes filled with savage coldness. Her petite fingers curled into a fist.
"Don't you think you are underestimating us too much?"
Trapped by four or five metallic chains, the blonde little girl roared, her body inflating like an inflated balloon. Through her dress, a large amount of red liquid burst out, enveloping her immature and petite body. The liquid solidified at a visible speed, forming tough muscles, armored skeletons, and a grotesque red monster head.
In no time, the blonde little girl transformed into a nearly two-meter-tall humanoid monster. Her resilient outer skin was tinged with a dark red color, and perhaps due to the host being a human female in her youth, her figure and muscles were relatively slender compared to Venom.
However, appearances were deceiving; the power of the Symbiote was not compromised.
"This is really bad. Venom, are you still there?"
Half-lying on the ground, Eddie looked at the transforming red Symbiote in panic. He didn't know what to do for a moment, anxiously calling out to Venom.
However, Venom, who had been active just moments ago, seemed to have entered a dormant state again.
"Cough, Cough."
Lying on the ground, Lorna couldn't stop coughing up blood. Her face remained calm, one hand still in a phantom grip, desperately trying to maintain control over the powerful manipulation of the metal chains.
She knew very well that if the opponent broke free, everyone on the battlefield would die!
"You have severely overestimated yourselves. By the way, I forgot to tell you, my name is 'Blood Abyss,'" The crimson Symbiote sneered as it spoke. The muscled limbs armed with extraordinary strength began exerting force, pulling inward.
"Clang, Clang!!"
The metal chains, adorned with a faint green light, suddenly tightened. The lock and joints couldn't withstand the gradually distorting force, making crisp cracking sounds as they began to break!
Seeing the chains about to snap, a faint green light quickly surrounded them. The metal cracks at the lock and joints started to heal under the influence of the light.
"Interesting, let's see how long you can hold on."
Seeing this miraculous scene, Blood Abyss wore an expression as if it had found exquisite prey. Unafraid of wasting abundant energy, it continued to exert force on the long and thick chains.
The comparison between the mutated superpower and the symbiotic brute strength resulted in a subtle momentary stalemate.
Blood Abyss was evidently in control, calmly wearing down Lorna's strength. Its fangs bit into the chains, creating sparks.
"At most, I'm just buying time. To completely lock down the opponent, with me weakened as I am now, is impossible. Sorry to disappoint you, Boss."
Lorna sighed internally, still losing blood continuously. Her strength was depleted, and relying on sheer willpower to control the chains wouldn't last much longer.
"You." Lorna raised her eyes, suddenly looking at Eddie beside Blood Abyss. In a weak tone, she urged coldly, "Why haven't you left yet? Do you want to stay here and die?"
"I'm leaving. What about you?" Eddie struggled to get up, feeling extremely frustrated. Venom, the guy who could have helped, was silent again at this crucial moment.
Lorna said calmly, "You leaving would be one less problem. Anyway, you can't help. Go back and report to the Supernatural Incident Bureau. They will handle it and will avenge me."
She lay on the blood-stained cold ground, her delicate face and emerald-green short hair tainted with a dismal crimson. Lorna faced this fatal danger and impending death with a calm demeanor.
Lorna was always like this, like a small grass growing on the edge of a cliff. This little grass, however, casually caught a glimpse of the splendid aurora and aspired to follow the footsteps of the scorching sun, even if it meant getting a little closer.
"Beautiful."
Eddie was dumbfounded as he inappropriately muttered to himself.
Venom's voice abruptly emerged in his mind, urging him, "What are you waiting for? Run! The woman is right; staying here is risking both your lives!"
"You've recovered?" Eddie seized the last straw like a drowning man, quietly asking, "Can I return to the armored state I was in just now? Or, can you take control of my body and safely get Lorna out of here?"
He gritted his teeth, determined, "After that, I'm willing to do anything you want."
"No." Venom decisively refused, responding, "I'd be happy to make that deal in our prime. Unfortunately, our stamina was severely depleted just now. With both of us weakened, we can't beat it. Remember this feeling and come back for revenge tomorrow!"
Before Venom finished speaking, it forcibly took control of Eddie's body. A black tendril shot out from his back, extending and sticking to the building dozens of meters behind, rapidly pulling him away from the scene.
"Venom, don't leave! I beg you, take her with you!"
Eddie's voice echoed in the night sky, lingering even as he gradually disappeared.
On the wide road, only Lorna and Blood Abyss remained.
"You don't understand. Without me staying, how will you escape?"
As if responding to Eddie's words, Lorna sighed with an air of exhaustion. Her bloodless face relaxed, and the green light fog that represented her ability faded away.
*Crack!*
Losing the buff and maintenance of her ability, several chains almost simultaneously shattered into countless pieces, clattering as they scattered on the ground.
"Really, humans are unbelievable. Enduring for so long just to let one person escape? Do you think he can avenge you?"
Stepping on the metal shards, Blood Abyss, freed from confinement, resembled a demon from hell as it gracefully advanced. It raised its left hand, which transformed into a cold gleaming crescent moon scythe.
"You don't understand." Lorna shook her head, affirming, "After tonight, you will definitely die, and it will be a gruesome death."
Blood Abyss had heard many threats from lifeforms, the cries and curses of prey before their demise. But this time was different; Lorna's threat felt like an impending reality, sending an inexplicable chill through its body and mind.
It was as if killing Lorna would provoke a terrifying existence.
Indeed. Although it had only been on Earth for a day, encountering humans became increasingly strange. Each one seemed stronger than the last, defying expectations.
"Even so, but you will die before that happens."
Maintaining composure, Blood Abyss dragged the transformed scythe closer. Due to its large size, the tip touched the ground, sparking a series of fires.
With depleted stamina, Lorna could only watch the approaching adversary. She closed her eyes, giving up resistance, her beautifully composed face devoid of joy or sorrow.
"What a pity. I won't see you again... Boss."
