Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"Elegant, so damn elegant..."

The sentry who was standing slightly behind looked at Green who was getting up and couldn't help but murmured.

It was obviously just a simple bow, but they just didn't know why. They couldn't help but admire the leader in front of them when he saluted.

The leading sentry moved one foot back and leaned back slightly. Although he did not feel any hostility from Green, those scarlet eyes made him fear without reason.

"Hello... Captain Green, I would like to ask you, why did you break into the kingdom without permission?"

After Green stood up, he did not face the sentries directly. He only turned sideways and glanced condescendingly at them.

After the word 'Kingdom' fell, the leading sentry lowered his head secretly and took a deep breath. The sentry standing next to him was still a little confused about what he was doing. After two or three breaths, the leading sentry raised his head again.

"Hey, are you okay?"

dong dong dong...

The violent beating of his heart almost made him unable to hear the inquiries coming from the side. Green's eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water. However, this look made him almost breathless.

He was confused, but he might never understand in his life that this was a natural suppression from higher beings. It was like hanging a sharp blade over his head, not knowing when it would fall.

"kingdom?"

"I don't know what kingdom it is. The only thing I can be sure of is that this is the perfect land for us to perform rituals and a grand stage for us to bloom!"

Green's voice fell into the ears of the sentries like a demon. A trace of scarlet light suddenly appeared in the depths of their black eyes. After a while, the red light disappeared from their eyes, leaving no trace. It's like it never happened.

The leading sentry's face was gloomy and about to drip. Green's words made him instantly understand that this troupe had deliberately broken into Hallownest, and not only that, but also wanted to hold some inexplicable ritual on this land.

If the person who comes here is not good, you must go back and report it to the Lord Watcher.

"In this case, please forgive our sudden visit, captain, and say goodbye!"

After the sentry finished speaking, he opened his arms and pushed everyone towards the way they came. They wanted to leave, but Green never thought of letting them go.

"Now that you're here at the troupe, why don't you take a good look at it? It's also a way for me to do my part as a landlord. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

"The leader is really polite, but we have important things to do and it's really inconvenient..."

Before the sentry finished speaking, the dark environment was suddenly illuminated by a red light from above, and the noise suddenly sounded. At this time, everyone was shocked to realize that they were on the stage where the troupe was performing. When they looked around, Those hidden in the darkness were all theatergoers wearing masks.

"Look, how much the audience welcomes you and how much they look forward to you working with me to bring them wonderful performances. I don't want to let them down..."

"Then, the show begins!"

Green bowed deeply again. No matter how stupid the sentry was, he could see that the captain in front of them no longer planned to let him leave. When the sentry with a bad temper before saw this, his tense nerves collapsed. He pulled out the bone nails and slashed at Green, shouting loudly:

"Who the hell wants to see your show, go to hell!"

"Hey! Stop!"

The leading sentry wanted to stop him, but it was too late. He couldn't hold back the out-of-control sentry.

"Oops, it's really over now."

The sentry's eyes were a little desperate. Just based on Green's method of appearing out of thin air, he knew that the sentries were no match. Moreover, the strong men they met in the corridor before were also subordinates of the leader in front of them, so Green's strength was no longer there. It goes without saying, how could this nail hit?

But the reality was contrary to what he imagined. The bone nails of the out-of-control sentry actually hit Green's body, making a muffled sound.

"this?!"

The sentinel's face, whose eyes had dimmed, suddenly brightened up again. Is it possible that the leader's strength was actually worse than that of his men? Everything before was just pretentious?

The change of perspective happened in that moment, and so did the doom.

"Roar!!!"

The sentries saw Green suddenly raising his head after receiving a blow from the bone nail. The mouth that had been hidden under his collar also opened up and roared at everyone.

The harsh roar and ferocious posture made the sentries completely unable to believe that this was the elegant figure from before.

Immediately afterwards, Green disappeared in front of their eyes along with a sudden appearance of red mist.

"He...where did he go?!"

"On... on top!!!"

Finally, a sentry saw Green's figure, but at this time, Green's body was no longer as slender as before. If he really wanted to describe it, he looked like an inflated red thorny ball.

"Ugh!"

The burning fireballs in the sky fell towards the sentries, and the painful shouts continued to echo on the stage. The leading sentry kept dodging and shouted to everyone:

"Run! Run!"

Needless to say, all the sentinels fled in panic, but their fate was doomed from the moment they stepped into the Green Theater Company.

"Run quickly, run quickly..."

The leading sentry's voice was hoarse from shouting, and his eyes were exhausted to the extreme. He guessed how powerful Green was, but he didn't expect that Green could kill them so easily.

Just when he was no longer able to run and was preparing to welcome death, the flame barrage gradually subsided.

"No...no, what a good opportunity, what a good opportunity, brothers, run!"

The sentry got the strength from nowhere, shouted and ran towards the corridor, but the only sound that echoed on the stage was his footsteps.

"Run! Brothers! Why do you..."

Seeing that he was only less than five steps away from the corridor, the sentry did not hear the footsteps of other teammates for a long time. He looked back, trembling all over.

The sentries who had entered here with him were already lying in various places on the stage. The flames on some of them had not been extinguished and were still burning actively. The corpses that had been burned to stiffness were still talking. The reluctance in life.

Dead, all dead, now he is the only one left.

"I...I have to live...have to live..."

The sentry's eyes were completely out of focus, he turned around and ran towards the corridor in a daze.

Sudden!

Just when he was about to step into the corridor with one foot, the sentry's eyes suddenly widened and he froze on the spot.

He wanted to lower his head, but he couldn't lower it no matter what, so he had to move his pupils upward. This look, also the last look, was one of fear, confusion, and confusion.

"This...when is this?"

A spike rose from the ground, piercing the sentry from bottom to top. After a while, the friction between the spike and bone and flesh was heard, and the last sentry fell straight down in the corridor. above.

Green looked at the messy stage, his eyes still unmoved, his body twisted and disappeared with the sudden red mist, and the bright stage fell into darkness again.

"The performance ended perfectly."
