Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Chapter 123 The Fool’s Trial

At first, when the King of Fools sent a message to her, Luke was a little disdainful.

She was just a challenger participating in the Fool's Trial. As for calling her over before the trial started, the challenger might have died before she arrived.

The King of Fools also knew her thoughts, so he inadvertently told her the news that Bai was sent by King Bai. These words were on target. Not long after, Luke's figure appeared on the scene.

"Hey hey hey... look! It's the previous champion! The Pale Lurker!"

"It's really her! Pale Lurker!"

"Pale Lurker!"

When the audience saw Luke's figure, they shouted her name one after another, and the sound was loud. For a moment, it seemed that the protagonist of this fool's trial was Luke.

Although Luke seemed indifferent at this time, if you look closely, you can tell from the trembling hands behind her back that her state of mind is not as calm as she showed.

Really the White King.

Luke looked up at the person next to the King of Fools. Even though his body was covered by a white robe, she could see the White King. Rather than perception, she believed that this was an intuition, almost an absolute intuition. That It was her spiritual support and she would never admit her mistake.

The King of Fools was reasonable and waved to Luke, gesturing for her to come to him. She was unequivocal and jumped to stand on his right. The battle had already begun. Although her eyes were looking straight into the field, His attention was focused on King Bai not far away.

Bai set up the bone nails and looked at the rising cages one by one. His steps did not stop and his momentum continued to rise. Instead, he imitated Mo Rong and rushed towards them. He took advantage of the fools as soon as they came out of the cage and grabbed a nail. This was also the case. It can alleviate some of the burden for the subsequent battles.

There was a big vibration on the floor under his feet, and at the same time many folded stone surfaces rose up. Seeing this, Bai quickly put away his bone nails and jumped towards it. Within a moment, the Colosseum, which was flat just now, was now covered with cloth. Full of spikes.

The Fool's Trial doesn't leave much room for challengers from the beginning.

Bai was not surprised. There were no such tests in the first two trials, but there were more enemies at this time.

The attack of bone clubs and scimitars, although quite satisfactory, became more aggressive due to the restrictions of the venue. Bai's legs were slightly bent to exert force, and the bone nails were slashed downwards, and he took advantage of the situation to swing upwards. This technique was quite novel. , making King Bai couldn't help but nod.

It still had some effect. Compared to when he was fighting the two knights, Bai seemed more decisive at this time.

Not only that, due to the displacement of Ben's attack, Bai's body was no longer on the platform, and was about to fall into the spikes below. Who would have thought that it was an old trick used in a new way, and the nail blade accurately struck those spikes. , the force angle was slightly shifted, and it actually struck until he was standing on another plane.

This operation surprised Mo Rong, who looked strange.

It seems that this boy Bai has learned all the skills he knows, so what if the two of them confront each other in the future.

Don’t you just deserve to be beaten?

"This kid's talent is really amazing. If Master Sly sees him, he might be interested in his talent and accept him as his disciple."

Ida looked at Shiro who was avoiding the scene, rubbed his chin, and said seriously.

"not enough."

"What's not enough?"

"Master Sly is not qualified enough."

While looking at Bai, who was killing the fools and throwing away their armor, Mo Rong said, "You don't know the reason why King Bai is here, right?"

Ida recalled the scene when the White King appeared before, and her eyes widened after a moment of reaction.

"You mean, this child's master is the king?!"

Murong nodded, but did not say that Bai was King Bai's child. He had to explain this matter, but he didn't know where to start.

"No wonder, no wonder this child's strength is so outstanding."

The remaining frivolity of the dialogue in Ida's eyes also dissipated at this time. Mo Rong seemed to suddenly remember something and joked to Ida: "Maybe your master also taught it."

Murong had never thought about this problem before. He didn't know King Bai's strength yet, but there were two people among the five knights who were proficient in bone nails. They might have been Bai's mentors.

"This... shouldn't be possible, isn't it all taught by the king?"

Ida was a little flustered by Mo Rong's unreasonable words. After all, after thinking about it carefully, it was really possible that this child's strength was so outstanding that his position in the master's heart would not be shaken.

Seeing his appearance, Mo Ren couldn't help but smile and patted his shoulder.

"Looking at the bright side, you can be considered his senior brother after all. If my junior brother becomes famous, why don't you follow him and take advantage of him?"

"Go, go, go, whoever wants to take advantage of a child will look down on him."

Ida rolled her eyes at Mo Rong, and the two stopped talking to each other. While talking and laughing, Bai had already reached the sixth wave. At this time, the platforms in the field were scattered all over the place, and the people released from the cage were not just fools, but also Mixed in are some roundworms wearing spiked helmets bouncing between platforms.

Death Ludo, they come from the Ludo in the green area. They jump instead of walking. They are not aggressive in themselves. However, Death Ludo is a species domesticated by the Colosseum. The purpose of their jumping is just to use their heads. The spikes will injure the challenger, or knock him onto the spikes.

Fortunately, they were not very fast and only served as a distraction during the entire battle, but they also greatly reduced the position where Bai could stand.

What's even more fortunate is that Bai's downward chop has become more and more proficient, and it has mastered the essence of it, even ignoring the spikes below and walking on flat ground.

It was not until the tenth wave that the number of fools on the field was greatly reduced, but this did not mean that the difficulty was reduced. The pair of Mother Gruz and the King of Revenge Fly appeared on the field at the same time. No one knew about the King of Fools. How did they tame these two giant insects with strong territorial awareness together? They only knew that this battle might not be so easy.

At the beginning of the battle, the two pairs of giant insects took action without reservation. The gradual impact of the Mother of Gruz, and the dive of the King of Vengeful Flies after greeting the tribesmen were huge, just for the short figure in the center.

Luke's attention was therefore focused on Bai. She originally thought that the challenger would shrink back somewhat in the face of such oppression, but she could not read any emotion in its eyes.

There is no fear of death, no hesitation about failure, and no bloody fighting spirit.

Everything is so natural.

It seems that it is the spectator.
