Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Ida took out his weird-shaped bone nail and pointed it at Theo and Auro.

"Come on, after beating you two for so long, it's time for me to fight back."

It was the first time that Theo saw such different bone nails. He changed his previous indifference and moved closer to Ida.

Ida quickly set up the bone nails and said:

"As expected of Xio, are you ready to start?"

Theo shook his head, struggling a little in his eyes, but he still couldn't restrain the desire in his heart.

"Brother Ida, um, can you show me your bone nails?"

Ida looked puzzled.

"I have never seen such...such a beautiful bone nail! It is simply a work of art!"

Theo squatted half-crouched in front of Ida, his face almost touching the bone nail, his hand caressing it, refusing to leave for a long time.

Ida was a little embarrassed and looked at Mo Rong for help.

Mo Rong spread his hands and said that there was nothing he could do. In his impression, Xio was the only bone nail master among the three brothers who changed his career as an artist after becoming a master, so he must have the tendency to pursue art in his bones.

"Just show it to him. I don't want to buy your bone nails."

"Really? Can I buy it?"

Theo looked at Ida expectantly, which was completely different from usual.

After hearing this, Ida's face immediately darkened. This guy usually looked quite normal, why did he suddenly become like this? He handed the bone nail to Xio and said reluctantly:

"Just look at it for a while. Give it back to me after looking at it for a while. This is...hey, don't grab it."

When Theo heard this, he took the bone nail from Ida's hand and ran to the side to look at it carefully. While looking at it, he muttered something like 'Perfect...it matches...replace it'.

"Brother, he has been different from us since he was a child."

Mato walked near Mo Rong and looked at Xio in the distance.

"We have been required by Master Sly to practice bone nailing skills since we were young. The eldest brother is the most talented among us and the fastest to learn."

"Every time Master assigns me a task, I can complete it very well, but I have a weird temper. He obviously has the best talent, but he doesn't pay all his attention to bone nail skills. Otherwise, he would have started training a long time ago."

"You think so?"

"Yes, but the second half of the sentence was said by Master, but my eldest brother has such a temper, and Master can't do anything about it."

"Don't you envy your elder brother?"

"What are you envious of?"

"Talent. Even though we are both brothers, our talent is much higher than yours."

"There is nothing to envy. I will be able to become a master sooner or later if I work hard. On the contrary, I envy my elder brother's pursuit even more. After all, I seem to have no goals since I was a child. I just do whatever the master tells me to do."

Mo Rong sighed secretly, who is not like this? There are only a few people who have ideals and never forget them and realize them.

Just as he was about to comfort Ma Tuo, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing towards him.

"Don't be discouraged. Sooner or later you will... Oh my god, why did you start to spin?!"

"I also want to leave soon! Go find my own ideal!"

"Just look for it, don't just start thinking about it if you don't agree with me!"

"Brother Mo Rong, take the move!"

With that said, Ma Tuo raised the bone nail and attacked Mo Rong. The bone nail blew the wind, how could Mo Rong dare to be distracted?

In the past half month, Yi Mo and Yi Mo also secretly practiced bone nail skills after sparring, but the results were unknown to what extent because they could not be used in actual combat. Sly said that Mo Rong could try it here.

Let's start with the Cyclone Slash.

Mo Rong stepped back and started to rotate his hands like Ma Tuo. Two whirlwinds were formed in this process, but Ma Tuo's was obviously stronger.

At the moment when the two whirlwinds collided, many sparks burst out from the intersection of the bone nails. Mo Rong flew backwards, while Ma Tuo was knocked back several steps.

"You learned it?!"

Ma Tuo looked at Mo Rong who was lying aside with a shocked look on his face. Mo Rong stood up slowly with a grin on his face.

"If I hadn't seen that you were quite sincere, I would have thought you were laughing at me."

"I've been knocked out by you, do you think I've learned how to do it?"

Mato shook his head. He put on his posture and said:

"You can spin now. You have already mastered it. Get ready, I'm going to take it seriously!"

As Ma Tuo began to spin again, Mo Rong did not dare to neglect, and set up his posture to prepare for defense. He was not yet able to continuously release whirlwind chops.

Ma Tuo's whirlwind became more intense, and suddenly he was suspended in the air. Mo Rong seemed to see a helicopter approaching him.

There was no other way, so Mo Rong had no choice but to take advantage of Ma Tuo's slow ascent, jump on top of him first, lift up the bone nail and strike downwards.

He had used this move against Sly in the game, but now he didn't know if it would work.

As the bone nail collided with the whirlwind of Ma Tuo, the expected stop of Ma Tuo did not occur. Instead, Mo Rong was thrown away again, but this time the damage caused was much reduced.

Ma Tuo's whirlwind gradually stopped and looked at Mo Rong thoughtfully.

"Hi~, is it possible to break a move like this?"

Morong lay on the ground and looked at Ma Tuo, and immediately understood why the chop just now didn't work.

I bet Sly is not at the same tonnage as Mato!

"Have a rest and come back later."

Mo Rong waved his hand and ran to Ida to look at it.

......

On the other side, Theo watched for a long time and finally returned the bone nail to Ida. He also took a handful of bone nails from the side and handed it to Ida.

"what?"

"I can't bear this piece of art to be harmed. Can you replace it with a bone nail?"

Ida held the bone nail in his hand, veins looming, it had been a long time since he wanted to beat someone so much.

"I still like you who talked less nonsense before, take over!"

Ida held the bone nail tightly, her legs instantly exerted force, and she rushed towards Theo.

Seeing Ida's attack, Xio also put away his previous appearance, took off the bone nails behind him, put them upright in front of his chest, and stood on the same path to gather strength.

His bone nail skill is very special. Although it does high damage and attacks quickly, it is not flexible. When facing Date, you have to predict its path before you can attack.

"This way!"

Xio's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he quickly swung the bone nail in his hand, slashing it towards the empty space on the side.

"Ding!"

Sure enough, when Theo's bone nail fell, Ida happened to appear in that position, and the huge force of her hand pressed against Ida even the air beside it.

The two bone nails intersected, and Ida was almost unable to stand up due to the huge force. She immediately flew back without succeeding in one blow.

"it is good!"

A deep voice sounded at the door of the basement. Sly arrived here at some point and observed the entire battle.

"Master!"

The three of them greeted each other, and Sly waved his hand to ignore him and continue training.

"Is the bone nail okay?"

Seeing Ida retreating, Theo stared directly at the bone nail in his hand, seeming to be more concerned about the condition of the bone nail in his hand than Ida.
