Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Isma leaned down again and buried her hands deep in the ground. The next moment, green branches rose into the sky and enveloped the entire lighthouse. Their growth became more and more violent, as if they were turning the bottom of the abyss into a green ocean.

The giant beast's tendrils continued to break through the defense lines in an even more arrogant manner, and its giant claws also struck from both sides. Although the attacks did not directly affect Isma's body, the dazzling bright red flowing from the corners of her mouth made her Everyone's hearts were high in the sky again.

"Dlea, Zemor! Come to me! Quick!"

Hegemo quickly put the giant hammer aside, leaned down and held up the two of them with his broad palms. Then he saw veins popping out in his palms, and his face was ferocious. The two of them looked like the rocks he had picked up not long ago. Flying towards Isma.

There was no danger. Although they were still one step behind Orgrim, they finally arrived at Isma's side and worked together to block a giant claw.

Bang! Rumble…

Orgrim smashed with all his strength, causing ripples on the ground like a black lake. Not long after, you could see that the shaken gravel was like 'waves', slapping towards the giant claw, like The waves crashed on the rocks, and the strength of his body finally made the giant claw stop for a moment.

The three of them worked together to temporarily resolve the crisis on both sides, but at this moment Orgrim's heart trembled and he suddenly looked towards the lighthouse, his eyes frantically looking between Isma who was lying on the ground and the lighthouse. spinning around.

"Lighthouse!....Isma, watch your step!"

He still easily caught the vibrations on the surface, but among the many black pillars that were about to erupt, there were actually two lurking underground in Isma and the lighthouse respectively. Orgrim was caught in a dilemma for a while.

How to do?

Should he go to the lighthouse to protect the White King, or should he help Isma escape first?

what to do? what to do? what to do? !

Orgrim's eyes were trembling constantly, and there was a war between heaven and man in his heart. He saw that the black pillar was about to erupt. If he didn't make a choice, he would not be able to save both sides.

"Orgrim! Leave this to me!"

Hagmer's giant hammer flew to Orgrim's side, and his figure followed closely and landed in front of the giant claw. Orgrim, who had struggled to resist the giant claw, felt much more relaxed in an instant.

Isma's eyes were in a trance, and she resisted the attacks of the tendrils again and again. She used the skills just now in this barren land, and coupled with the pollution of the void material, she was already seriously injured. After a few people helped her resolve the giant claws, After the crisis, I wanted to rest for a while, but Orgrim's anxious reminder came to my ears.

Although her perception on this land is not as good as Orgrim's, the root system growing underground also informed her of the abnormality. In the heyday just now, it would not be difficult to dodge this blow, but now... ..

"Orgrim, protect the lighthouse!"

Isma made a desperate move, pouring all her remaining strength into building a defense line under her feet, and shouted hoarsely.

......

Orgrim is that stupid guy who only speaks kind words to the king. If he asks her to chat with him, he will only blush after hesitating for a long time. In the end, he will say, "Let's continue training." It's really frustrating. She was angry.

However, after being together and accompanying him for a long time, how could she not feel the affection in this shy big boy's heart? How could she not feel the warmth while sitting by the bonfire?

But since he didn't say it, huh, then she wouldn't say it either.

Isma always believed that her status in his heart may not be as good as that of the White King in her whole life, but she was not annoyed, because the White King's kindness to Orgrim was like reincarnation. If her relationship with Orgrim was If identities were exchanged, she would be like this.

But when Orgrim's eyes kept shifting between her and the lighthouse, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. It turned out that her status was already catching up with the king's status in his heart... ....

so happy.

......

Even if Hegmo came to help him take over the giant claw, he still couldn't save both of them. The giant beast seemed to be trying to embarrass him. The black pillars in the two places erupted at the same time. How he wished at this time Can separate another self to protect Isma.

To protect the ones he loves.

But he can't.

"Orgrim, protect the lighthouse!"

When Isma's hoarse voice entered Orgrim's mind, his heart seemed to be grasped by someone, and he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe. But when he raised his head and looked at Isma who was slumped on the ground. , there was only a kind of joy in her eyes that puzzled him.

"wait for me!"

He can't control so much anymore, and if he continues to hesitate, he won't be able to protect anyone.

Orgrim crossed his hands above his head and used his sharp and hard claws to escape into the ground like a fish. The entire land was more like a lake to him at this time, and then swam straight towards the lighthouse. .

boom!

Isma suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mist. She tried her best to build a defense on the ground but still failed to completely stop the black pillar. Although this was expected by her, when the black pillar hit her, She still regretted it a little.

It hurts, it hurts.

If I had known earlier, I would have asked Orgrim to protect her.

Isma was rushed high into the sky by the black pillar, and then fell heavily to the ground. The green skirt was soaked in blood and void matter, and became red and black. The original vitality was also covered up, leaving nothing behind. The aura of death lingering on it was shocking.

"Isma!"

The three people who were resisting in front of the giant claws exclaimed at the same time. They were worried about Isma's injury, but they were unable to help her. Once someone let go, one of the two giant claws would hit the lighthouse. All the hard work and dedication will be in vain.

Fortunately, everyone could feel from Isma's breathing that although her injuries were serious, they were far from life-threatening, which made them feel a little relieved.

"Well!!"

Orgrim curled up and used his body to block the hole at the bottom of the lighthouse where the black pillar was about to spew out.

The name White Defender seems to imply his destiny, which is to constantly bear responsibility.

Even though his back armor was extremely hard and the White King had given him strength, when the black pillar hit his body, his throat still felt sharp and pain hit him. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had felt it. I have received such powerful force.

Thanks to his self-sacrifice, the lighthouse only trembled slightly and soon regained its calm. Orgrim took a long breath and suppressed the wounds in his body to burst out.

But when he hurriedly set his sights on the person he was looking forward to, his breathing suddenly became disordered, and the long-suppressed injuries instantly broke through his defenses, and a drop of blood flowed out of his mouth slowly on his body. On top of the armor of earth.

"Isma!"

The trembling of the lighthouse also woke up Bai Wang from his trance.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally he could only come up with the idea of ​​'attributing' the souls of those containers to the resentful souls left over from ancient times.

This reason seemed extremely lame to him, but it was extremely suitable for the Five Knights and even all the ignorant people. No one knew what the ancient soul looked like. Time had obliterated almost everyone’s memory of the ancient times. Even if they had any, It won't have any impact.
