My silent admiration of my new form was interrupted by police officers that stormed the room, they didn’t even bother to talk charging in weapons free. While I can understand their behaviour to some extent this action was so fucking dumb I had to end it otherwise I might’ve died from laughter.
There were 5 of them in the room and 10 next to the hospital entrance. I tried jumping on the one closest to me and decapitating him with my claws. He jumped back and started dumping entire magazines into me. It hurt slightly but the excess calories quickly healed the damage I was sustaining.
Because they were obviously trained I had to cheat to beat them, first I jumped on the ceiling and hid in the layer between the cardboard fake ceiling and the real one. The place was stuffed and would’ve been hard to move in If I was a normal human. But since I can shift my joints and bones without too much trouble I could silently set up an ambush above one of them.
I chose the one in the corner, I didn’t waste any time and just jumped hand claws first tearing through his helmet and bulletproof vest killing him instantly. My attack tore apart his spine because he tried doging after hearing the sound. Just before I landed I grabbed the dead officer's belt and throwned him as hard as I could at the guy on my left. After doing so I sprinted to the officer in front of me, I tried keeping my position as close to the floor as possible to lessen the amount of my body visible to them hoping that this would make me take less damage.
Right in the middle of my sprint I took advantage of claws on my feet and changed the direction of my sprint to the person who was previously at my right side while I was throwing the dead guy. Thanks to the tables everywhere obscuring my position slightly I managed to catch them off guard and now there were only 13 enemies left.
They were slowly getting scared or excited. I could hear their heartbeats getting faster. I tried to move mana from the dead body to my own so I could at least try to modify the attackers from a distance and end the fight swiftly. I didn’t get to extract all of the energy in the body as the enemies just charged me, perhaps believing I was feasting on their dead colleague and therefore vulnerable.
I think that after seeing me pounce on them, not being vulnerable at all broke their spirit or just made them re-evaluate me again which made them stand still for a very small window of time which I used to break their necks using my limbs. Standing alone in a very destroyed morgue I pondered a little before moving again, gathering all of the bodies and turning them into a giant cocoon covered in a thin layer of bones on my back. I wanted to start a colony and possibly even a dungeon, other than that I want to train at least slightly that kid, no particular reason behind it. I might even change his species into mine.
