American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 44 Survival is Victory

Left with no other option, the assassin Shrike, who was falling backward, raised his other intact mechanical hand and fired a shockwave to blow away the spider silk.

Li Buying did not linger in the fight. He suddenly tilted his head back to dodge the silver samurai's katana, which swept across his face, cutting off part of his hood.

The boy, falling backward, kicked off forcefully, shooting out spider silk from his hands. The silver samurai, who had intended to rush over and finish him off, had no choice but to swing his sword to block the attack.

"Red Devils... damn it!"

The silver warrior wanted to call for the red devil's help, but when he turned around, he found that the red monster had already disappeared and gone to find the girl.

That's really unreliable.

"The two of us can kill him!"

The assassin, Shrike, roared, his eyes bloodshot. At this moment, he no longer intended to capture Li Buying alive, but to kill him.

Li Buying, who had retreated to the corner, turned back to look at the two of them. The red and black spider opened its claws and hissed silently, seemingly challenging them.

Come on, if you dare!

As they turned the corner, the silver warrior and the assassin shrike, who had been chasing them and had just stopped the bleeding, discovered that the weaver had vanished from their sight once again.

The two decisively stood back to back and looked in four directions. The assassin, Shrike, took out a vial of tranquilizer from his waist pocket, injected it into his noodle-like palm, and then relieved his pain.

He suddenly felt something was wrong; a thick, clear liquid was dripping from his head onto the hood and slowly sliding down. Remembering what had happened before, he quickly rolled to his side and shouted:

"Watch out for what's above you!"

The silver warrior instantly drew his sword and leaped into the air to slash, but there was nothing above the severed water pipe, and the silver warrior did not feel any sensation of flesh being struck.

It was all just the assassin Shrike's paranoia. He wiped the liquid dripping from his head and found it was just molten rust.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the silver samurai threw his shuriken at him and shouted, "Behind you!"

Without hesitation, the assassin Shrike's legs buckled and he knelt down on the ground. Behind him, a spider hissed silently.

Li Buying's senses weren't strong against the two sword-wielding spiders, so he ignored them and went straight for the tuft of hair on the back of the assassin Shrike's head.

The mercenary, kneeling on the ground, roared and raised his intact right hand, slamming it down on Li Buying from the side. The impact was building, but Li Buying was still faster.

He lifted the shrike up forcefully, kicked the shrike's elbow with his calf, rendering the arm immobile, and then extended his right hand to thrust the hidden blade toward the shrike's neck!

Blood spurted out, and under the silver warrior's gaze, the spider outside the mask seemed to be drinking the shrike's blood, baring its fangs and claws with increasing excitement.

Li Buying, hidden behind the mask, revealed a ferocious smile, looked up and met the Silver Warrior's gaze, her sadistic killing intent surging towards him.

The silver warrior was not afraid. Ignoring the corpse of the assassin shrike, he became even more vigilant.

He stepped forward with his right foot, placed the katana on his left side, gripped the katana tightly in his right hand, and took a deep breath, focusing his attention on the weaver in front of him.

Suddenly, Li Buying pulled out a smoke bomb from his pocket and threw it down. In an instant, the fog obscured the Silver Warrior's vision, but the Silver Warrior remained motionless, even closing his eyes on the spot.

The silver samurai discerned his fighting style: although extremely powerful, he was accustomed to delivering a fatal blow from the shadows.

In the Silver Samurai's perception, he was much like a free-spirited ninja, or rather, an assassin.

"In that case, he definitely won't linger in battle with me, but will instead hide in the shadows and wait for his chance to strike. So, his next move will likely be..."

Simulating Li Buying's movements in his mind, the silver warrior suddenly opened his eyes and raised his hand to the side!

The sword blade sliced ​​through the clothes, creating a gust of wind. After the smoke dissipated, the weaver whose clothes had been slashed appeared before the silver warrior.

However, he did not feel fortunate; his surroundings made him feel gloomy.

Countless bright silver spider silks covered the surroundings, and Li Buying wove a dense net that wrapped around the silver warrior.

He stood on a silken thread, hands in his pockets, patting the scratches on his clothes and sneering, before emerging from a gap in the spiderweb.

Did you think I'd be stupid enough to fight someone like you who could cut me in half in close combat?

At this moment, the silver warrior swung his sword at the spider web, and Li Buying gripped the spider silk in her hand and pulled hard, causing the entire spider web to collapse!

The previously loose spider silk was instantly tightened, and the silk threads moved in the direction of the silver warrior. The already taut spider silk broke and flung wildly in the air.

"drink!"

Under the threat of death, the silver warrior roared and swung his sword at high speed, severing the spider silk that posed a fatal threat to him. He even pushed himself beyond his limits, but it was to no avail.

Spider silk continuously tore through his skin, slowly injecting paralyzing and deadly toxins into his body, and the amount of toxins was increasing.

Suddenly, a chill ran through him. The silver samurai's eyes widened. The katana paused for just a moment, and countless threads instantly strangled him!

Ignoring the mess on the ground, Li Buying glanced at the message that the mission was completed and ran forward. He didn't know if Little Rascal had been caught by the Red Devil, so he had to get there as soon as possible.

Oh, and here's the new Phase Spider upgrade module.

Li Buying remembered this thing. The Phase Spider is a creature in the game Baldur's Gate 3. Simply put, it has the ability to teleport short distances.

Looking at the end of the passage, he tried to activate his ability and in a flash he appeared about 20 meters away, while feeling a large part of his physical strength being lost.

It's not consuming magic or other energy, but directly consuming physical strength?

I wonder if there's any way to prioritize converting energy consumption into magic power.

Thinking about why teleportation consumes stamina, he wove a spider web as he ran, just in case, and returned to the spot where he had parted ways with Little Rascal, looking around.

"Hey, I'm here!"

Shouts came from below. Li Buying was a little surprised. The little rascal had actually hidden in the stinking water pipe. No wonder the Red Devil hadn't found him.

She crawled out covered in filth, and it seemed fortunate that the pipe connected to the street, so there was no excrement or anything like that.

Li Buying walked over and tried to pull her up, but when they were only about ten meters apart, Red Devil suddenly appeared behind Little Rascal and grabbed her without caring about the stench on her body.

He didn't search randomly during the fight, but quietly watched the battle from a distance. Red Devil knew that as long as Li Buying won and went looking for Little Rascal, she would definitely appear.

He could take her away by simply taking advantage of the time difference, since Li Buying didn't have a way to get close to her quickly.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing Red Devil, Li Buying's pupils contracted slightly. She raised her fist from a distance and flashed directly between the two of them!

"Oh my God!"

Staring at the fist that whipped up a gust of wind, the Red Devil fell backward, his body disappearing in an instant and reappearing in the distance, still in shock, breathing heavily, his face full of disbelief.

Gritting his teeth, Red Devil knew he could no longer catch Little Rascal, so he teleported away.

"Oh my god..."

The little rascal's legs were swaying, and he paused slightly before speaking, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Hey, sir, Professor X has contacted me."
