Chapter 252: Ultimate Spiderman IX
The massive, mutated Venom roared — a deep, guttural sound that made the very pavement tremble. Its grotesque bulk slammed down the street, smashing through wrecked cars and crumbling walls like a living freight train. Tendrils lashed out in all directions, each one tipped with barbed spikes, oozing with toxic sludge.
Peter flipped in midair, dodging a swipe that shattered a streetlight behind him. "Yup, definitely bigger. Also faster. Why is it faster?!"
"Less talking, more stalling!" Dave shouted, sweat beading on his brow as he focused on keeping Shed restrained. His magic net glowed brighter, pulsing as the symbiote within writhed and screeched, still resisting.
Peter zipped past the monster's shoulder and launched a barrage of explosive webs. "Hey ugly! You wanna wreck something? Try me!"
The blasts exploded on impact, burning patches of the symbiote and making it rear back with an enraged howl. But instead of backing off, it surged forward with renewed fury, slamming both fists into the ground.
A shockwave rippled outward.
Peter lost his footing mid-swing, tumbling through the air. He twisted and barely managed to catch a lamppost with a webline, swinging around to safety just in time.
Dave, eyes locked on the creature, growled through gritted teeth. "This thing's pumping out raw negative energy. I need to cut it off from the ambient mana before it feeds off my spell!"
With a wave of his hand, he summoned a glowing rune circle in the sky above the monster. "Mana Severance: Zone Null!"
A ripple of distortion dropped over the monster like an invisible dome. The tendrils froze momentarily, pulsing slower, as the link to ambient mana was severed.
Peter landed beside him, panting. "Nice move! But I don't think it liked that."
