Chereads / Shadow Symbiote / Chapter 4 - Buffet

Chapter 4 - Buffet

Somewhere in the city of New Dawn that sprung up after New York city fell. Roy was in the basement of the 7th Circle base pacing in a dark room with a single-window peering out onto the city.

Right now he was worried because he felt a small connection in his chest. the last time he felt that was when that boy was born but that was impossible for two reasons. First, he made sure the boy didn't remember anything and placed the clamp the organization had been working on to subdue the enemies.

The second reason he wasn't proud of but if Ava the fortune teller was right. their deaths should've changed the horrific future she saw.

"So why the fuck do I feel this connection" he mumbled in a disgusting tone to himself.

"I need to talk to Ava again" He flipped his phone and contacted her partner for that was the only way to get in touch with her.

"What do you want this time?" Erin in a nonchalant tone as if picking up the phone was a bother.

"I need to talk to Ava immediately"

"You and everybody that calls my phone, what do you need from her?"

Roy was furious but slowly calmed his nerves for he didn't want to upset his only communication to Ava.

"I'm not just anybody, I'll send money to expedite my message to her. Tell her Abyssal called" and with that Roy clicked the phone off and peered out the window with an unsettling feeling and he didn't like it one bit.

Wayne was done packing his essentials finalizing everything before he leaves out on his revenge while listening to Helgor.

"Is that why all those animals were dead?"

Wayne thought about this and a smile appeared on his face, "well if that's the case you're going to have a fucking feast tonight."

The only thing Wayne had to do was actually figure out what power he has since the revelation of him actually having one appeared.

Wayne thought about the forums of people awakening their powers and tried to remember how did people test out their powers. "I'll need more space just in case" he mumbled to himself.

Wayne said his goodbyes to his mother and sister and headed out to handle the group of misfits, from the previous forum post about them they seem to be heading north.

On the journey, once Wayne was secluded he then picked a spot in an open field and proceeded to try and summon his powers.

Wayne was eager for this process so he wasted no time focusing on the feeling in his chest and as that feeling manifested the dark aura surrounded him and gave him a relieving feeling.

Wayne's eyebrows perked up at those words "how?"

At that moment Wayne felt pressure going through his head as information was flooding in. When the pain subsided Wayne dawned a devilish smile as for what he could see.

[Abyssal Nightmare]- The unit needs to make direct eye contact with the target to stun the target for 3 seconds putting them into a nightmare they won't want to relive.

[Void Portal]- The unit can move a distance of up to 10 meters creating a portal beneath their feet.

[Hardened skin]- The unit uses Helgor as a shield covering where the unit needs.

[Death smoke]- unit covers 20 meters with smoke that eats through targets.

Wayne was beyond ecstatic for usually, people with powered abilities take months to learn proper ability with their powers, and here is Wayne with not one but four abilities, so for the next 4 hours, Wayne practiced getting used to his new abilities and personal strength.

Wayne knew it wasn't just normal for him to be as strong and fast as he is, the only thing he can think of is that he now doubles the effects of already being powered and having this slime inside of him.

After the training, he picked back up and sprinted to the next town in hopes of finding the gang he had his mind on since the last night.

Wayne has been searching for almost two days until he finally found them in the fourth town he's been to.

"I didn't think they would've made it this far with tubby with them," Wayne mumbled to himself.

RavenHall was previously Maryland, with only half the buildings surviving. Most non-powered people felt safer together so they had an encampment with a bunch of RVs and tents laid out.

Wayne looked to see what the gang was getting into so that he can form a plan to make sure they remembered their death even in the afterlife.

The next second, he saw the Green hair blob harassing a lady, giving her no choice but to move away to a secluded spot for some "fun".

"Don't make this harder than it needs to be lady, it'll be over and you and I are left both happy?" the green-haired man said whispering in her ear as he was ushering her deeper into an abandoned building.

once he knew that wouldn't be interrupted he pushed her against the wall while taking off his shirt.

"P-p-ple-please, just let me go I don't want any trouble." the young lady mumbled too afraid to anger her captor.

"trouble? trust me, just do as I say and trouble won't ever come onto you, just pleasure." with his final words he pinned the woman down looking to rip off her clothes with just his eyesight.

the woman thought she would be scarred for life as the man pushed himself onto her, she began crying for if she refused she can believe only death would come her way.

She blinked her eyes open to see a silhouette of a young man coming out the floor behind her captor, when she was able to get a good look she was beyond terrified for just the man's eyes were something to be feared.

"Hey, big guy" Wayne let out next to the man's ear startling him so much that the man couldn't help but to let some wind blow.

"What the fuck! you've should've stayed in that town kid, now you're definitely going to d-"

before he could finish his last words Wayne used his new skill [Abyssal Nightmare] causing the man's body to freeze in place and his eyes turned pitch black.

"Run!" Wayne had enough time to tell the girl this as he made his way to kick his nether regions again with enough impact to guarantee he wouldn't be able to use it.

As the effects of [Abyssal Nightmare] faded overwhelming pain surged through the green-haired man's body.

Wayne stood over him picked his head up and activated [Abyssal Nightmare] again. once activated he stomped his shin completely snapping it into two.

This repeat happened for 2 minutes with Wayne breaking a different part of his body each time

"Please stop!" The green-haired man yelled as soon as he gained consciousness again. His heart rate skyrocketed for not only was his body crippled but his mind couldn't take any more of the nightmares. It might be 3 seconds for Wayne but it felt like hours for the green-haired man not knowing how much time is really passing by.

He thought he would wait it out for he knew his boys would start looking for him but after the first few times getting hit with the same skill he lost track of time.

"I'm sorry please I'll get you anything just stop whatever you're doing. " the man yelled with his eyes closed waiting for a reply hoping the offer was enticing enough to get him to stop. But as soon as he opened his eyes. Wayne was staring straight into them and activated his skill again [Abyssal Nightmare].
