Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Sly walked into the side room and took out a 'huge' bone nail.

If you look closely, the bone nails of the four masters and disciples are actually similar, but Sly's short stature creates a strong visual contrast with the bone nails in his hands.

"Come on, young man, do you strike first or do I?"

"Respect the old and love the young, naturally you come first."

"Then you have to be ready."

Ida put up a defensive posture and looked at Sly in front of him. He was curious whether Sly could really wield this bone nail that was several times better than him.

It turns out that Sly can move.

Not only could he swing it, but the bone nail seemed to be nothing in his hand. In just an instant, Sly slashed and slashed, and Sly's bone nail scratched Ida's cheek.

Ida touched his face and felt a sting, and then the warm liquid slowly dripped from his hand. Only then did he realize that the first confrontation was over.

"How's it going, young man, are you convinced?"

Sly said with a smile, and then looked at Auro who was aside, the meaning of teaching was contained in it.

"No, no, I just wasn't ready."

Ida said angrily that she had just been distracted and allowed Sly to succeed, so she had to be more serious this time.

"Okay, then it's your turn to take action this time."

Sly stood there, looking at Ida with a smile.

Ida didn't hesitate, shouted "Here we come!" and rushed towards Sly. He changed his body shape several times and feinted several times on the way, just to prevent Sly from seeing his attack. intention.

You must know that Theo had been observing him for half a month before guessing his general trajectory, and it might not be 100% successful. He didn't believe that Sly, who had never seen him once, could easily receive his attack.

If Mo Rong knew what Ida was thinking at this time, he would definitely laugh at her.

After several feint attacks, Ida saw that Sly didn't move. She just thought that he couldn't react, so she ducked behind him, swung down her hands vigorously, and the bone nails arrived in an instant.

"Ding~"

Sly didn't even look back, he just put the bone nail behind him and took the attack lightly.

Ida gritted her teeth, used her feet again, and raised her figure to attack another part of Sly.

"Ding~"

With another simple wave, Ida's attack was blocked again.

"Young man, you are a bit ungrateful."

Sly put away his smile and looked at Ida, who also realized something was wrong.

"Sorry Master, it's my problem, but I still want to try."

Ida didn't wait for Sly's reply and rushed towards him with the bone nail again.

There was another sound of bone nails colliding. As expected, Sly was still unscathed, but Ida was already out of breath.

Ida supported his legs with both hands and looked at Sly's figure in front of him. He didn't understand how Sly reacted. His movements were obviously slower than Theo's, but he was able to block his attacks time and time again.

Am I too weak?

A feeling of powerlessness and despair arose in his heart. He hated this feeling, because once it arose, it meant that someone important would leave him.

In a daze, Sly's short figure seemed to be gradually expanding, and his face gradually became ferocious. In his eyes, he suddenly looked like the mother of Gruz.

Seeing that something was wrong with Ida's appearance, Sly waved his hand to keep everyone away.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Mo Rong asked hurriedly.

"Has your friend suffered any major changes recently?"

"Recently? It did happen last month, but he was fine. What's wrong?"

"He doesn't look like he's okay now. You guys go and wait aside!"

Mo Rong also understood at this time that something was wrong with Ida.

At this time, Ida's eyes were red, her breathing was heavy, and she felt that her body had endless strength.

"Monster, you finally showed up. This time, I won't let you hurt them again!"

With that said, Ida rushed towards Sly again, her speed was only slightly faster than before, and her strength was also much stronger.

Seeing Ida's attack, Sly looked at it and blocked the attack with a bone nail. The force from his hand made the bone nail tremble slightly.

"Death!"

Ida once again used all her strength to strike at Sly, and Mo Rong shouted when he saw this.

"Ida! What are you doing!"

Mo Rong's voice made Ida's movements only pause for a moment before she started moving again.

"Don't shout, it's useless. What has your friend experienced recently?"

During the fight between the two, Morong told Sly what happened at the crossroads last month.

"I see, your brother probably thinks I am that monster."

Sly smiled bitterly, but then there was some interest in his eyes. In this state, Ida would attack him at all costs, but this was not an opportunity.

"I am also destined to be a little brother of yours, so I will guide him."

Then, Sly followed Ida's attack rhythm, and the two sides started fighting.

"It's so chaotic, keep your pace!"

"Don't hold the bone nail in front of your chest when running!"

"I don't have enough explosive power. I need to bend my legs even more!"

While Sly was fighting with Ida, he kept giving him pointers. What surprised Murong even more was that Ida really changed as Sly said.

At this time, in Ida's eyes, the figure of her elder brother appeared next to her.

In his failed attacks one after another, it was his elder brother who constantly guided him to change his attack methods.

Ida had never felt that the power of her body could be so powerful.

Seeing Ida's speed getting faster and faster, her pace getting more and more steady, and the power from the bone nails reaching a threshold, Sly smiled and said:

"it's time."

"what?"

Mo Rong was a little confused, but at the next moment, he saw a scene he would never forget in his life.

Ida stopped where she was, the bone nails held in her hands slowly hanging down from her body, and her legs were bent to the limit.

At this moment, I saw a trace of fire caused by the rapid friction between the bone nail and the floor. Ida had disappeared in place. Before the fire disappeared, Ida suddenly appeared on the other side not far away.

Two points and one line, and in the middle of the line is Sly.

"Bang~"

Sly fell first, and Ida turned around with a smile, her eyes full of relief, and then slowly fell down.

"Brother, I did it."

......

"Fuck, what was that just now? A flash of lightning?"

Murong was also frightened by Ida just now, and hurriedly ran to Ida, and the three brothers also came to Sly's side.

"Huh~ Fortunately, I just fainted."

Mo Rong breathed a big sigh of relief, he thought Ida had died.

"Your brother is very talented, but he has regrets in his heart that lead to a defective character."

Sly's voice came from behind, and Mo Rong said in shock:

"Master? Are you okay?"

"Haha, with your brother's ability, you can't hurt me."
