Just as the thumping sound came from the entrance of the bunker, the ground in front of Laura broke open and revealed an ‹Animal Class› abomination that Laura hadn't fought yet. Laura was too weak previously to have been able to effectively fight too many abominations, so they'd steered clear of the ‹Animal Class› ones early on. Without Wasting any time, Alex covered Laura in her combat suit and enhanced her stats fully.
The abomination that appeared had huge pointy claws for digging while its face was reminiscent of a badger but with a huge maw and sharp teeth. It had crimson eyes that were homed in on Laura's figure that was clad in a leather combat suit with black and yellow skin tones. There was a hint of greed in its eyes as it looked at Laura.
'That's new…' Alex thought as he noticed the eyes of greed that were directed at Laura.
At that moment, two more abominations broke open the ground and were coming out.
Without wasting any more time, Laura jumped up from the bed and came up in front of the badger abomination, leaving a slew of destruction in her wake. The bed that she was on was destroyed and her jump was too high, she'd damaged the ceiling of the room with her jump.
She appeared in front of the abomination and then wobbled to balance herself again.
"This is going to take some getting used to…" She commented.
[It's fine, just punch it in the head.] Alex told her.
"Here goes nothing," She said and punched the head of the animal class before it could even react. Laura was just that fast after all her enhancements. Even though she had to balance herself, the abomination still couldn't react and its head exploded.
"Fuck…" Laura complained as she felt the brain matter hit her face. Before she could do anything, the leather suit came up to her face and covered her head too, clearing out all the splashes that she'd had. Her entire body was covered at this point.
By now, the two new abominations had also reached Laura while 5 more had breached through the ground. The rate at which they appeared was just going to increase.
Laura's claws extended and she charged at the two abominations, jumping up and slashing one of them with her hand claws and the other with her foot claws. The abominations died, but sadly for Laura, she wasn't able to control the force that she used in her jump, she left cracks on the floor after she jumped and then slammed into the wall after killing the two new abominations.
"Goddamnit!" She didn't feel the pain, but it was annoying nonetheless.
[Keep going, you're doing great…] Alex was enjoying the show.
"Fuck…" Laura said as she saw one of the two newly killed abominations regenerate even after she'd sliced its head in half.
[The regenerative class ones are also mixed in… We'll have to go all out.] Alex got serious, [Laura, slash it again. I'll devour it the moment it dies. I'll be doing this for all of the abominations now.] He told her.
Laura grunted in agreement and slashed two of the 5 newly appeared abominations while making her way to the regenerative class.
Just as she slashed the two abominations, a mass of black exploded out of her claws and devoured the abominations within an instant.
When Laura reached the regenerative abomination, she pushed both her claws inside its stomach and picked it up above her head before ripping it apart. Practically bathing in its blood.
[You much be glad that I've covered every inch of your body.] Alex said in her head.
[I am, that's why I can do whatever I want.] She said happily. The more strength that she used, she realized that the situation wasn't really dire. At least not yet.
Just as Laura's claws were about to let go of the two halves of the regenerative class abomination, Alex exploded out of her claws and ate it up before it could regenerate again.
[+0.1 EP]
This one was probably the weakest regenerative class and gave ten times the EP that the basic grunts give.
Laura didn't have much time to react as she had to block the claws of a bear abomination with her own claws. Though the surprising thing was that she ended up getting pushed back by the huge 10-meter-tall behemoth of a bear. Granted, she wasn't able to perfectly utilize all of her strength currently, but it's a surprise nonetheless.
[Get rid of the other two first.] Alex told her. The bear would take a while to get rid of so Alex wanted her to take care of the other two assailants first.
Laura instantly changed targets and moved her center of gravity to allow the bear's claw to send her flying right at the two other abominations.
Both of her claws pierced through the heads of the abominations and killed them instantly while at the same time, a black mass enveloped their bodies and devoured them, not leaving anything behind and giving Alex more EP. At this point, more abominations were coming through the ground, but Laura had a precious few seconds to take care of the bear abomination in front of her.
Just as Alex devoured those two abominations, his tendrils extended to the ground and helped Laura stop midair. He helped her turn around to face the bear abomination that was upon her.
She slashed her leg at the abomination which was promptly blocked by its claw. but this time, Laura wasn't pushed back and the attack ended in a stalemate.
As she landed on the ground she brought her hands to her chest in a cross shape while ducking under the abomination's attack. Then, in an explosive movement, she jumped up and screamed, cutting off the arm of the abomination.
The red glow in the abomination's eyes got brighter and it released a warcry in Laura's face and slashed his other claw at her. Just as Laura parried its claw with both her claws and moved to attack it with a kick, the abomination made a move of its own and kicked her abdomen with its claw-bearing leg.
The attack threw Laura away from him and she had three stab wounds in her stomach from the attack. They rapidly healed up and Laura was back in top shape while Alex formed two support tendrils that stopped Laura from colliding with the wall.
Using Alex's tendrils as a springboard, she jumped back at the abomination that was focusing on regenerating its arm. It wasn't a regenerative class abomination so its healing factor wasn't as overpowered.
Taking advantage of its momentary distraction, Laura's claws stabbed into its chest. She then extended her hands outwards in an attempt to rip apart the abomination, but she was unsuccessful. She needed some sort of leverage to do it.
Though her attack was pretty successful as the abomination roared in anger while shaking her off. Especially since she'd stabbed the abomination in its heart and it would take some time to recover. Though the holes would close up, the organ would need some more time.
Realizing the danger to its life, it started playing defensively and waiting for the next group of abominations to arrive.
Laura understood and decided to take the fight up a notch. She'd been using the bear as a training partner and she was now able to exert more and more strength in a controlled manner. Since it had started playing defensively, it had served its purpose.
With this thought, Laura's green eyes took a slight sky blue hue and there were crackling sounds coming from her body. Soon, her claws also started glowing and their silvery metal sheen became blue.
And finally, the two claws that were extending out from her hands had sparks of electricity meeting between them. She was currently a supercharged battery. She didn't realize it, but Alex could also sense clouds forming above the bunker as if it was about to rain.
'I may not have realized how much my own lightning abilities would be augmented after such a high-level bond with Laura…' Alex thought. She was currently in lightning mode and the lightning abilities that Alex had were enhanced to ridiculous degrees.
The best part was that this action didn't require any explicit communication between them. Alex understood Laura's thought process and instinctively allowed lightning to flow through her skeleton. This was all an implicit communication that happens between a symbiote and its host. But due to Alex blocking the empathetic connection and turning it into a one-way thing, he'd hampered this implicit communication.
Now that he'd bonded on an extremely deep level with Laura, both physically and emotionally, the connection had grown strong enough that it was able to go through the blockage. And Alex didn't have any problem with that. He actually liked this implicit connection that he was feeling with Laura. This was why he wasn't trying to suppress it again.
Right now, Laura looked at the bear abomination in front of her with a bloodthirsty smile.
"Come to mommy…" She said with a smile on her face and charged at the bear with an inhuman speed while leaving a trail of lightning in her wake.
