Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"Your Majesty the King! Your Majesty the King!"

Orgrim's voice came from far to near, reaching the White King's ears from outside the lighthouse door. There was heavy breathing in the words, and not long after, the two appeared in front of the White King.

"Your Majesty the King! Isma is seriously injured. Please grant your holy grace to heal her injuries!"

Orgrim leaned down to salute, and the White King looked into his arms. Isma's face was buried tightly in his arms, and her body was trembling slightly.

Isma was so shy at this time that she didn't dare to look at the White King. When she was about to reach the lighthouse, she kept patting Orgrim's arm and asked him to let her down, but Orgrim refused to listen. , thinking she was trying to be brave when she said this. Although she explained that her injuries were not that serious, Orgrim didn't listen at all.

"Put her down first and let me take a look."

There was a slight smile in the White King's voice. Unexpectedly, the two people's personalities seemed to have been exchanged at this time. Orgrim was carefree, but Isma became shy.

After hearing this, Orgrim slowly laid Isma flat on the ground. When Isma was put down, he wanted to stand up and salute, but Orgrim still pressed him down. The White King also nodded and said: "There is no need to salute. , wait for me to see your injuries."

White light enveloped Isma's body. Seeing this, Orgrim also breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and looked out the window.

At this glance, he happened to see Haigmo being forced back by the black pillar, and the giant claw that was about to hit him.

Isma's injury was indeed quite serious. She was overstretched and contaminated by void matter. If she hadn't been a knight with a will far beyond ordinary people, then the person lying here at this time would most likely be a person who had lost her mind. Crazy people.

"You rest here. You are not allowed to participate in the subsequent battles."

The white light shone on Isma's wound, and soon turned into a part of her body and disappeared. At this time, her breathing became much easier, and her eyes gradually became lively.

"Your Majesty, I am much better now."

Although her body still felt a little tired at this time, Isma felt that it was no longer serious, but King Bai still shook his head.

"I just used my power to help you suppress your injuries temporarily. Your internal injuries will have to rest for a long time to recover. If you are injured again, you may be left with hidden diseases that cannot be cured. Do you understand what I mean?"

Having said that, Isma didn't feel like saying anything more. She just nodded slightly and sat cross-legged inside the lighthouse.

Seeing that Isma's injury was relieved in front of him, Orgrim hurriedly came to the White King's side and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the King! The monster outside was not suppressed by the lighthouse. This..."

King Bai turned his head in surprise, walked to the lighthouse window in three steps and murmured: "How could this happen? The lighthouse has obviously recovered its power..."

"It can't be suppressed. Has the power of the lighthouse failed? Or does this monster have other means?"

The White King didn't think much, and immediately called Orgrim to leave the lighthouse together. The slightly hurried back was no longer calm, and it was the first time that Orgrim saw the White King like this.

Hegmo stood up with difficulty while holding on to the giant hammer. When the claw hit him just now, he felt as if his internal organs had shifted at that moment. He spit out the mouthful of dark red blood in his mouth. He reached the side and was about to run away again when his body was wrapped in a white light.

"Feel good?"

Familiar words and breath came from behind. Hegemo quickly leaned down to salute, but was stopped midway by King Bai.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! My body is only slightly injured, nothing serious!"

The tendril whipped towards Hegmo again, but this time it was easily blocked by the White King.

The lighthouse was not completely useless, at least after it was lit, the soul power he could use was also improved. Delia and Zemore also came to them at this time, and the former immediately asked the White King a question.

"Your Majesty! Is the lighthouse no longer able to suppress the giant beast?"

King Bai nodded with calm eyes, his voice slightly heavy.

"This giant beast condensed the ancient resentful souls. The function of the lighthouse could have prevented their wills from connecting. But what I didn't expect was that the lighthouse was closed for only a few days. The wills of those resentful souls have already been connected. Now, The lighthouse has lost its function and cannot be threatened any more."

"Besides, it also draws my power from within the lighthouse."

"You must have noticed the changes just now, Hegemo and others. This giant beast seems to be able to predict your actions and then attack, right?"

Hegmo nodded heavily, and the White King looked at them and continued: "Hygmo, it is inevitable that you will not be able to dodge that blow. If it were someone else... Of course, Delia's speed is The reasons may be better, but the results won’t change much.”

The rest of the people couldn't help but frown together, some of them didn't understand what King Bai meant.

"It is no longer appropriate to call it a giant beast now. Perhaps the name Black Worm is more suitable for it."

"Black Worm?"

"Yes, that race is born with a unique ability to predict. Although the strength of the ability will vary depending on the individual, but if it is used in a battle, you are no match."

"..."

Everyone was silent again, and the haze brought by the giant beast became heavier.

Powerful strength, an almost indestructible body, a variety of attack methods, and now, he even has the ability to predict.

Are monsters like Black Worm really something they can defeat?

Just when the knights felt powerless, King White's words gave them hope again.

"Unless we can break it up, as long as those wills are broken up, the lighthouse can function again."

After listening to this, a light appeared in their eyes again, and Delia hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, how can we do what you said."

King Bai was silent for a moment, and the barrier around the few people was now full of cracks due to the attack of the giant beast, and was about to be shattered.

"If my guess is correct, there is an oval core inside the body of this giant beast, which is the source of the connection of wills. Once it is damaged, the strength of this giant beast will plummet. When the time comes, defeating it is just a matter of time. Easy as pie."

"But if you want to contact that core, there is only one way to enter its body."

Everyone was silent and looked up at the huge, deep mouth that was opening. It was obvious what method they would use to enter its body.

"This matter is very dangerous, so of course you don't have to do it, just leave it to me."

"...No! Leave this matter to me!"

The high-pitched voice echoed in everyone's ears.

When King Bai proposed that he should carry out the plan, there was no doubt that he was opposed by everyone.

"Orgrim, there is no need for you to stand up in this matter. Are you ignoring me as your elder brother?...Ahem!"

Hegmo shouted loudly, trying to stop Orgrim from risking his life, but because of the excessive force, he coughed up some blood.
