Riot didn't know that Luke was protecting Ryoko Tamiya. It only felt that the Annihilation energy would kill it and its host.
So, it subconsciously started to run.
Even frightened as it was, however, as the de facto leader of the symbiotes, it still had pretty good judgment.
The moment it left Ryoko Tamiya, it burrowed into the ground without hesitation.
There was a manhole grate cover there, and it could escape danger if it slipped inside.
For a symbiote, it took no more than a second to switch hosts.
But as soon as it slipped through the grate, the entire cover was sent flying.
Luke flicked out with his Telekinesis, and the silver-gray symbiote which had entered the sewer halfway was sent flying.
At the same time, Luke took out a long and thick black cylinder from his waist with his left hand, and threw it at Riot.
