Rebirth as a Xenomorph in the Apocalypse
Chapter 25
I stared at it in amazement, then a hint of confusion made question marks appear above my head, at least in my imagination.
''Eh, well, I dunno what to say other than fuck!'' I looked at my forearm, and the dark glow that suffused it, which made me look all the more menacing, I could imagine, while it''s white exoskeleton gave off an extremely strange yet peaceful feeling, it was indescribable.
[ Name : N/A | Species : Xenomorph | Tier 1 ]
''And what do I see here?'' A small plus sign was hidden on the edge of the screen.
Pressing it, a new screen popped up.
[Affinities : Holy 100%]
''Well that probably explains it...'' I flicked its head with my claws and watched as it retreated, seemingly as if it were bullied.
''Seems my order is law for it, it even started acting more like a living being than an animal.''
I looked around and saw a bunch of mats splayed out on the floor, and a few balls lying in the far corners of the gym, as well as clothes and a few sheets here and there.
I mentally willed for it to walk over, and as it did, I realized that I had no name, and neither did it.
''I was never one for names, but your name shall be Reziel.'' I looked and saw that it''s name had undergone changes.
[ Name : Reziel | Species : Xenomorph | Tier 2 ]
''Eh, already? Why is it''s tier so high...? Is it because I named it, or her, I think all Xenos are females... wait doesn''t that mean I''m female as well? I figured it, but never thought I''d address it so soon, especially with the Queen title.''
I walked out of the gym and looked about, the sky a mass of colors, none of them pretty, just gray and black clouds that made the atmosphere dreary.
''Okay, I doubt they''d leave without me hearing anything, and while they may have already left, I can verify and follow their scent.''
I ran back to the destroyed classroom and stuck our my proboscis, and there it was, a trail.
Following the trail, with Reziel behind me, I ran along the building and then leapt vertically twenty feet to another building and caught onto a ledge.
I watched as Reziel did the same, albeit landing a few moments after me, then she turned and looked at me.
''Following the scent, when we find them, we fight.''
She stared at me for a bit longer than necessary, then we continued through the ruins and zombie filled city.
Noticing the buildings thinning out, I dropped onto a car, crushing the hood as glass splintered around.
The surrounding zombies staggered over, only for a beam of white light to tear through their bodies like a laser.
They practically disintegrated into nothing after the beam and the ground looked like lava where the beam passed!
''Holy shit, Reziel what was that?'' I asked, wanting to have a cool lazer attack instead of plain acid.
[Ding. Host can buy a spell for fifty points.]
''Buy it!'' I gained enough as we followed their trail, and it seemed that they had stopped somewhere nearby, so delaying here wouldn''t affect the hunt.
[Ding. Host has bought [Dark Ray].]
I opened my mouth, and a beam of dark energy shot out, blowing a hole in a building several meters wide.
''Wait, how did Reziel know what to do, I didn''t even explain to her a thing?''
''I just know, I lived a previous life, and I can remember it at all, I didn''t say anything because I thought it didn''t matter.'' She said while landing on the asphalt near me.
I looked at her and snorted.
''Reincarnated beings are supposed to be rare, yet I meet them like cabbages on the street!''
''I won''t get in your way, you gave me a second chance at life, whatever you do, I''ll follow you.''
''I hold you to it then.'' I said while releasing a pent up breath I didn''t know I held.
