Chapter 528

When Natalie Brown opened the door, he felt a strange tingling feeling on the backs of her hands, her shoulders and the back of her hand. But before she could ask Alex on the other side of the door a quick question to confirm that it really was him, a tiny hand grabbed onto the edge of the door, and after a forceful push, "Alex" barged into the room, knocking Natalie Brown back and almost fell onto the ground.

"Natalie Brown." the "Alex" outside at the door to the room slowly started to shed his hair, his skin and even his clothes, which almost instantly turned into thin cracked shells and dust. He also grew to a bigger size, and out of the husk of his former smaller form, out walked the middle aged man whom Natalie just met earlier today.

"Who are you ?" Natalie Brown raised her arms and two spinning orbs with porcelain exterior shells and light green linings and engraved symbols appeared in the space in front of her palms: "Did Lady Vyn send you?"

"As a matter of fact, she did. You might have heard of me, they call me 'Unnamed'." the middle aged man smiled and said with a cold smile on his face as he shook off the dust on his clothes: "I could commend you for almost recognizing me earlier, but too bad, soft spots for kids kinda clouded your judgment and dulled your senses. Seeing that you have two younger siblings, I could totally understand. "

"You'll never!" Natalie Brown pushed her arms forward, and the two spinning orbs with porcelain shells opened from the middle and released a flurry of energy bolts into the air, which then changed course and shot towards the middle aged man.

The middle aged man waved his hand, and those energy bolts were bashed into tiny energy sparks in the air.

"Are you kidding? Using this non lethal toy of a weapon on me?" the middle aged man sneered: "What, betraying Lady Vyn and the one who raised you from a life of mediocrity and powerlessness only earned you this?"

Natalie Brown trembled as she held her younger sister and brother behind her, feeling kind of lucky that her parents were touring the "garden" in the inn: "What do you want? Leave my family out of this!"

"Betrayal has its consequences." the middle aged man raised his right hand, holding a short blood red blade made entirely of crystal in his hand: "I don't think you have the position to make any demands."

"Excuse me, but no fighting in the rooms." a humble and calm voice came from behind the middle aged man: "If you want to spar, we have some sparring rooms, but no fighting in the inn rooms."

"Rash! Help! He's trying to kidnap us!" Natalie Brown's younger sister yelled from behind her.

"Is that so?" Rash took a look at the back of the middle aged man: "I'm afraid I can't let you do that either. All guests could only leave on their own accord or get evicted if they violate the rules."

"Well, then I'm really sorry." the middle aged man shook his head, then turned around and tossed the blade at Rash with full force.

"Watch out!"

The blade sliced through the air while glowing in red light, causing a few minor sonic booms in the air and left a trail of smoke behind. Rash instantly flailed his left arm in front of him and caught the blade in mid air. The blade continued to glow, and the red light seeped into his left hand like some kind of liquid.

"Let go! Let go of it!" Natalie Brown screamed as the red glow completely seeped through Rash's entire left arm.

"Boom!" Rash's entire left arm went up in bright red flames and scattered around the floor like a block of cinder. Yet strangely, Rash did not appear to be in any pain at all, and when the middle aged man was lunging at him, he raised his right arm and put up a kung fu stance.

"Die!" the middle aged man took out another blade on his left hand, this time the blade was made entirely of green crystal. But before he could stab Rash with it like he thought, Rash's right hand already bent to an unnatural angle and grabbed his left wrist. The next moment, Rash turned and swung the middle aged man towards the back, and the middle aged man was thrown out of the room.

"Stay in there and don't come out!" Rash shouted at Natalie Brown and closed the door.

"Boom!" the middle aged man unleashed a full forced kick at Rash, with his leg and feet both lit up in pale grey flames. Rash was sent flying through the hallway and rolled on the ground, but he stood right up after dusting his shoulder - his shirt wals almost halfway burnt, but he did not sustain any injuries.

"What are you?!" the middle aged man narrowed his eyes, then his body started growing in size - four spider-like claws with tiny shiny bristles protruded out from his rib, his two legs became long and changed to a structure like that of dogs' hindlegs, and his two hands became two front claws with a pointy tip, a sharp edge, and special joints that looked like that of mantis shrimps' front claws. "Doesn't matter, I'll deal with you first!" when he uttered these words, the voice seemed to have come from his throat and not his mouth, for he no longer had one mouth, because his face just split in half, revealing it to be two sideways jaws with razor sharp teeth inside.

But when he was charging at Rash, he noticed that the "man" he was charging at was also not he seemed - a tall shadow was cast unto him, and it was the shadow of a giant sea creature, with dozens of tentacles flailing around his body.

"What… are… you?" the middle aged man stared at the human faces on the sea creature's body. He couldn't help but panicked, stopped his charging and tried to turn back. But before he could attempt to escape, two winding and tentacles lashed him on his shoulder and two of his spider-like claws, injecting him with doses of paralyzing toxins.
