Chapter 529

Unnamed had not felt this kind of fear and dread for a long time, at least not since he became a part of the Vyn crime syndicate. There were indeed some moments where he felt that he could have been in danger of getting hurt or even facing his mortality, but still, none compared to this very moment where he had to face this jellyfish looking monster, with human faces on his body displaying various extreme human emotions. It was not just because of the immense power he sensed this monster possessed, it was also the sheer negative energy radiating from it. He had a lot of experience fighting with and against power wielders with this kind of aura, but none could come close to this kind of sheer raw negative energy.

Sensing that the paralyzing toxin was creeping through his body from the multiple points of contact, Unnamed, while backing off from the monster as fast as he could, had to cut off his two spider-like claws on his side that were lashed by the tentacles to prevent the toxins directly injected into them from spreading to other parts of his body. His shoulder also started rapidly growing outwards like a protruding mutation, in an attempt to push the toxins away and thus slow their spread.

Unnamed’s actual mouth, located at the center of his “face”, opened up, and with a hoarse and throaty scream, four streams of colorful liquid squirt out of the tips of four of the fangs aiming at the jellyfish monster, who, just a few seconds ago, was still a calm and slim looking receptionist.

The jellyfish monster let out a deep roar, and the hallway instantly became wider and longer - the doors to rooms on boths sides were “pulled” so far away from them that Unnamed felt as if he was in the center of a sports stadium and the rooms were the audience on their seats. An especially enormous tentacle extended forward to the space between Unnamed and the jellyfish monster. The four streams of liquid splashed onto the tentacle, and within mere moments melted through the exterior of the tentacle and started burning through the interior of it.

But before Unnamed could react, the tentacle was cut off just like he did the spider-like claws, and even before the tentacle hit the ground, two more tentacles with shiny, hardened and sharp tips shot at him from two directions like spears with chains behind them. Unnamed swung his other two claws at the two tentacles in an attempt to block them, but they were shattered like brittle glass the moment they made contact, and the two tentacles with sharp and hardened tips just proceeded to impale him through his rib cage and shoulder. Sharp and hard teeths popped out from the tips of the tentacles and locked into the flesh and bones of Unnamed, and the two tentacles started retracting and pulling Unnamed towards the jellyfish monster.

“Ahhh!” Unnamed screamed in pain, his rib cage grew wide and to the sides, pushing the puncture wounds of the tentacles away from the center part of his body, and the lower part of his body curled upwards and grew into a shield before him, blocking the sight of the jellyfish monster. Then the next moment, Unnamed’s head and neck curled back, so far so that his spine actually broke away from his rib cage and his lower parts of his body. The jellyfish monster shot another two tentacles at Unnamed, but the rapidly growing and hardening shield from his body blocked and deflected these attacks. Unnamed’s grew several pairs of bony legs from two sides of his short spine, and started crawling away from the jellyfish monster, leaving the major chunk of his body expanding and growing behind, acting as a block of cover.

“Bang!” the body left by Unnamed exploded from inside and shot out thousands of sharp shrapnels of bones, toxic pieces of flesh as well as corrosive bodily fluids. But an energy bubble appeared around it and contained everything inside.

The jellyfish monster flew over the energy bubble in pursuit of Unnamed, and even though the hallway had grown much wider and longer, Unnamed’s fast moving little bony legs and the gushes of wind he surrounded kept releasing from the end of his spine pushed him to the position of the staircase. And with all his bony legs unleashing a forceful push, Unnamed leapt over the handrails of the stairs and was about to dive directly towards the entrance of the inn.

The jellyfish monster shot one of its tentacles into the air and through a small miniature portal, and it appeared in a space beside the entrance of the inn. While Unnamed was still in the air, he saw that a tentacle appeared in the general direction towards which he was heading, and it picked up a fish tank with nothing but liquid and some decorative rocks inside.

When Unnamed saw the tentacle tossing the fish tank at him, he had no choice but to extend and grow his two front legs from his short spine and cross them before him to brace for impact.

Alas, there was no impact, instead, he felt that his whole body was drenched in some thick and dense liquid. The liquid was full of all sorts of negative human emotions, and just by being in its presence, he could feel those emotions’ effect slowly creeping up to him.

Unnamed screamed and tried to break the wall from inside the fishtank, but he was not able to leave even a scratch on it.
