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

Chapter 47 Battle Ends

Li Buying was weaving a net. Of course, he didn't intend to use it to deal with Magneto; he just wanted to use the giant net to buy time.

He had set these remaining spider silk threads to dissolve only after two hours, and used mimicry to make them gradually become invisible after Magneto's gaze shifted.

Using his high mobility, he is close to completing the net that binds the enemy.

An even stronger sense of panic washed over Li Buying as she sensed Magneto's surging killing intent. She shot out spider silk from her hand to pull herself away, using some auxiliary silk threads in the air to dodge.

The steel balls shot out in front of him, but unlike before, they didn't take a while to return to Magneto's hand after being fired.

Magneto extended his right hand, which had been behind his back, and gently pulled his hands together, using these movements to increase his focus and concentrate his power on a few metal beads.

The metal bead became increasingly agile and difficult to handle. It had just passed by Li Buying's side and was stopped abruptly after being only about twenty meters away, before turning back and flying towards him at high speed.

Three steel balls attacked in a crisscross pattern. Li Buying dodged two by sidestepping, but the last one was already very close and there was no way to avoid it.

Just as the metal bead was about to hit his head, Li Buying's eyes narrowed slightly. He raised his hand and shot out a hard spider silk towards the bottom of the steel bead, not to destroy it, but to force it to follow its trajectory.

The sturdy spider silk lifted the metal bead from below, which was about to collide with his head, barely grazing the hood before piercing it through.

The metal bead that almost hit him returned to Magneto's side and stopped abruptly. After a brief pause, it flew towards Li Buying at an even faster speed!

Midway through, the steel ball even created a roar in the air, and a ring of water mist appeared and disappeared in an instant.

However, in Magneto's eyes, Li Buying seemed to have anticipated the direction of his ability and dodged in advance, directly avoiding the attack that was impossible to dodge.

"..."

Magneto narrowed his eyes slightly; this went beyond the realm of so-called sixth sense and seemed more like a premonition of a dangerous future.

He then began to suspect that Li Buying might have the ability to foresee the future, but it was not appropriate to test it now.

Prioritizing all matters, Magneto decided to continue with the current plan.

Supporting his right wrist with his left hand, he raised his hand and shaped the three steel balls into curved blades to expand their attack area, while his right hand clenched tightly.

The moment he gripped the blade, the curved blade slashed towards Li Buying, who was constantly dodging. The expanded attack area almost covered the entire region, making it difficult for Li Buying to dodge.

Even under these circumstances, he still loosened the silk thread first and fell straight down.

The blade deformed at the last moment, but it only cut Li Buying's arm without completely trapping him or causing him any harm.

Even the blade specifically designed for the spider silk cocoons on the weaver's back didn't cut off any of the cocoons, suggesting that the little rascal's safety was also within his protection range.

Magneto retracted the blade to his side and reshaped it, causing all the steel balls floating around him to deform.

Nearly twelve curved blades quickly spread out around Li Buying, tightly encircling him within the center point, constantly rotating and shifting to adjust themselves.

Magneto seemed to be aiming for a fatal blow, and Li Buying could also feel his spider-sense frantically alarming. Even if he managed to prevent his vital points from being hit in the next attack, he would still suffer severe damage.

Using teleportation yielded the same result. Realizing this, he immediately stopped hesitating and sent the silk threads through the still-unadjusted blade, scattering out and sticking to some empty places.

Magneto's eyes widened as Li Buying swung his arm, pulling up things he couldn't see before—countless spider silks stuck together, becoming finer as they extended outwards.

As Li Buying swung her spider silk, a chain reaction immediately occurred, revealing countless mimicry spider silks entwined around her and exposing their extremely dangerous nature.

A large number of spider silks began to swing wildly, cutting through the trees. Some spider silks were stretched taut, and the places where Magneto stood were the ones that the taut silks had to pass through!

Be prepared, Magneto! This is a spider web 120 meters in diameter!

Li Buying stared intently at Magneto, who promptly retrieved all the metal and reshaped it around him.

When the weaver casually shot out the silk threads, Magneto sensed something was wrong. Upon seeing the raised, mimicking spider web, he immediately went back to defend, having already mentally envisioned what might happen next.

All the metal around him instantly formed several layers of hollow spheres. As soon as Magneto was completely enveloped, countless spider silks instantly lashed out like sharp steel whips, striking these metal layers directly.

The spider silk kept swinging and breaking the sphere, but it would be repaired as soon as it left.

Li Buying had no intention of staying put to watch the show; he turned and ran, yet managed to catch Magneto's eye.

This is mainly to prevent Magneto from stopping his pursuit and instead protecting his mutant device.

After about twenty seconds, the wildly flailing spider web finally stopped, and Magneto retracted the metal layer.

He looked at the devastated forest, his gaze meeting that of the panting Li Buying in the distance. Just as he was about to maneuver the disc beneath his feet to reach her, he heard the Red Devil's shout from below:

"Lancher, the device has been destroyed!"

Magneto paused slightly, took a deep look at the weaver in the distance, and called out, "Child, I'll remember you."

As if issuing a warning, Magneto turned and landed, then teleported away with Red Devil.

Mission complete. Rewards: 1 Energy Point, and one randomly selected ability.

Should we begin extracting superpowers?

No.

Hearing the mission notification, Li Buying completely relaxed, letting go of the burden on her back, and sat down against the pine tree to catch her breath, relieving the unparalleled pressure in her heart.

His spider senses are strong, but they keep his nerves constantly on edge. He sensed danger of death several times, and now that he's relaxed, he immediately feels exhausted.

Think of the Dutch spider; the spider senses it feels when it is about to die are probably many times stronger than this.

No, I absolutely cannot let this happen to me.

Li Buying struggled to get up and remove the little rascal's spider web, crying out in pain as she did so.

The spider silk cocoon kept bumping against the tree, and although the silk cushioned her fall, she still felt like she was about to break apart.

"Professor X knows you're here, right? When are the X-Men coming?"

The little rascal rubbed his bruised arm and said to him, "They'll be here to pick me up soon. The professor wants you to come to the academy, I wonder..."

"There's no need. I don't want to get to know you guys too well."

Even if you're going to get close to someone, it has to be the "Li Buying" who has awakened superpowers, not the weaver.

Li Buying waved his hand in refusal. With the mission accomplished, he no longer needed to protect the little rascal, so he simply left her behind and drifted away on the spider silk.
