Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"Quickly evacuate the greenhouse!"

The moment Mo Rong noticed the change in Marcos' power, he shouted to the knights around him. Now this greenhouse is no longer a help for them to restrict Marcos, but is more likely to become their cage in the future!

Several times more light spikes than before attacked them one after another. The unpredictable trajectory scratched the armor of the four knights in a moment. Although many light spikes were shot down along the way, the endless dream power in Marcos' body made them constantly recast around his body.

Mo Rong leaned against the wall and held the shining tortoise shell to his chest, trying to reduce the area of ​​attack on himself as much as possible. However, even so, he was still inevitably attacked by several light spikes. The pain caused by the violent collision continued to accumulate, and bits of void matter in his body began to peel off and dissipate.

"It's not good. We can't stay here any longer."

Mo Rong smiled bitterly. The greenhouse still showed no signs of being removed. They were like being trapped in a large meat grinder. As long as Marcos did not stop, it would not be long before he and the knights would all perish in this dream.

However, if I die in a dream, I should be able to wake up in reality, right?

Several light spikes stabbed at him again. Mo Rong did not hesitate and immediately activated the shadow cloak and sprinted out of the flower room. The muffled sound from behind told him that he had escaped from danger temporarily.

The sky of the dream came into Mo Rong's eyes, and he suddenly froze in place, his face instantly turning ugly.

will die.

If he dies in this dream, he will die, and the knights will die too!

If this dream is a boss dream like the Failed Champion or the Soul Tyrant, then he can wake up in reality after his death, and even enter it repeatedly with the help of the Dream Nail.

But Mo Rong's memory kept reminding him and warning him that this was not an ordinary dream, this was a dream radiating from the supreme god of this realm, the God of Light!

"grass!"

Mo Rong cursed inwardly and quickly began to condense on the spot. But even so, he did not have much soul reserve in his body after coming from the Deep Nest. He had to interrupt the process after only condensing once, and activated the shadow cloak again and rushed back into the greenhouse.

He cannot die, and the Five Knights cannot die either.

With the White King, Nightmare and Radiance gathered together, he really couldn't think of anything good happening. If even the top fighters of these kingdoms fell here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The glaring bloodstains were particularly eye-catching on the white armor. Dozens of light nails had tortured the four knights to the point of being in great pain. If it weren't for their strong willpower, they would have probably become the souls killed by those nails.

Those light spikes seemed to have eyes. The moment Mo Rong appeared, several of them changed direction and stabbed towards him. Fighting head-on was not a solution. Mo Rong ran to block them while looking at Marcos. This glance gave him an opportunity.

At this time, Marcos' eyes were constantly flashing with dazzling light, and his whole body was frozen in mid-air. Perhaps it was because he himself could not bear that power, so his body was controlled by it and he became a puppet that could only attack.

Secretly memorizing Marcos's location, Mo Rong immediately activated the shadow cloak and rushed out of the greenhouse.

Marcos' position is there...kill from the flank!

Mo Rong used the mantis claws to climb up the wall of the greenhouse. The force of the nail continued to gather. He aimed at a certain point on the wall and passed through it again. At the same time, he sprinted and chopped.

puff!

As the Dream Shield had already transformed into light spikes and was heading towards the four knights, Marcos was now in a state of attacking without defending. The dull sound of the collision between the bone spikes and the flesh made Mo Rong feel happy.

Got it!

The bone nails cut through Marcos' flesh, but he just trembled slightly in the air and never cared about his wound for a moment, as if it was not him who was being chopped. Mo Rongding looked at him and couldn't help cursing.

"I'll beat you up! How can you play with cheats?!"

The conspicuous wound cut by the bone nail was covered by countless orange-yellow particles in a moment, and it was completely recovered even faster than Mo Rong accumulated the power of the nail. Now even the guerrilla tactics he had just thought of became empty talk. Mo Rong felt sad.

The way of heaven is unfair. If there is ink, why is there a horse? !

The shadow cloak was still cooling down. Mo Rong, who was in the air, had no way to retreat. Looking at the dozens of light spikes stabbing at him, he could only smile and make an international friendly gesture.

Who said I have no way out? This is a dead end!

Just when Mo Rong was thinking about whether to use cheats to beat Marcos a thousand times first when he returned to the real world, all the light spikes suddenly disappeared in the greenhouse, along with Marcos who had been in the corner of Mo Rong's eyes.

......

"It worked. You didn't let me down!"

Green closed his eyes, feeling the dreamland that had lost its radiant aura. He felt extremely comfortable, and his smile became more restrained and real.

After the giant insect in the sky swallowed the radiation, it pointed its horn crown straight at "Green" not far away. What it meant was self-evident.

'Green' took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. There was not much anger in his eyes, not even a trace of hatred. There was only a little doubt.

"Is this your true power? It's incredible... You could have sealed the Radiance on your own, so why did you need my help?"

"Aren't you angry about my breaking my promise?"

The White King had speculated on several situations that would occur after sealing the radiation. Even if the Nightmare was unwilling, it could only leave with hatred because it could not match him after the battle. Or he could suppress it by force. However, the possibility of this happening now was very small.

"You are able to build such a kingdom on the land of Radiance and that person, even when the two of them have failed to recover. You are definitely not an ordinary person, let alone a fool. How could you agree to my conditions? It's just..."

Green paused and looked at the White King with a meaningful look.

"I originally thought that you were just an ordinary god who had a chance to seal the Radiance with a magical formula. I never thought that your power would be so strong. It's really beyond my expectation."

"The previous conditions were merely a catalyst for the cooperation between you and me. This dream is certainly important to me, but the absence of radiation is more important to me."

"..."

The White King wanted to say something else, but the flames burning on Green's robe had gradually calmed down and turned into scarlet, and then faded away, turning into an ordinary black robe. His eyes were no longer as deep as they were a moment ago.

"Mr. Worm, my master asked me to thank you for him. This cooperation is a pleasure. In addition, I wish your kingdom everlasting prosperity."

"The Green Troupe will now close its doors. Goodbye."

Green bent down and bowed deeply, then twisted his body and turned into a cluster of scarlet flames and disappeared on the spot.

The silhouette of the giant insect gradually dimmed and turned into a ball of white light that continued to condense and shrink, and finally became the appearance of the White King.

The dream collapsed, and orange light suddenly appeared again on the open space in Dirtmouth. Mo Rong, the knight and others returned to reality together, but the scarlet tent that had suddenly visited before seemed to have never been there and disappeared without a trace.

......

"Master, are we just leaving like this?"

Bloom played the accordion and followed Green's mount with a puzzled look on his face.

Green turned his head slightly to look at the gradually fading mountain behind him, and said with a smile:

"The scarlet fire has been planted. When the Nightmare Lamp is lit again, we will return to this land."

"Then the scarlet flames will dance once again."
