Hollow Knight: Hallownest

When Bumblebee felt the change in Mo Rong's hand, a warning immediately rose in her heart. A chill ran down her spine, and her limbs seemed a little stiff due to the pressure of the light.

And when she saw the fist about to hit the ground, a familiar feeling came over her - she remembered having the same feeling when the hunter's fangs were about to cut her neck.

The fist flashing with dazzling white light wantonly poured out the violent energy contained in it onto the earth. In an instant, the ground under Mo Rong's feet cracked, like a stone hitting a calm lake, causing ripples.

boom! ! !

A violent explosion rushed into Bumblebee's ears, and then a powerful impact followed, like a thousand-pound rock constantly hammering at various parts of her body. In a trance, she seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking one after another.

The raised sand and stones carried the red figure towards the wall, leaving a large dent.

Mo Rong put away his fist and blew on it. In the distance, a bumblebee holding a bone needle in one hand and lowering its head came into view. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and blew on his dusty fist.

The little girl has never seen the evil in people's hearts.

Bumblebee's eyes were wide open, and her expression was slightly distorted. The remaining force of Desolate Dive was still destroying her body. The severe pain that she felt belatedly almost made her unable to hold back and wail in pain.

"...No wonder mother praised your magic so much, it turns out that it is your trump card."

A weak voice came out of her mouth intermittently. Thinking back to what happened just now, she was not surprised at her defeat.

God knows that Mo Rong can not only ignore physical attacks when he turns black, but also when he turns white.

It's such a shame.

However, if I could still fight again at this time, my chances of winning would be much higher...

Whether in his memory or in the competition just now, Bumblebee had never seen Mo Rong release spells at a high frequency. Now he still naively believed that with that kind of powerful force, it would be impossible for Mo Rong to use it a second time in a short confrontation with his reserves.

Fortunately, she didn't say it, and Mo Rong didn't know, otherwise he would have immediately set off a firework for her - "Abyss Scream" to liven up the atmosphere.

"I lost."

When she realized that the excruciating pain just now had completely disappeared, Bumblebee realized that this competition ended with her failure. Looking at her body that was gradually dissipating into light, she looked at Mo Rong and spoke resolutely:

"Next time, next time I will definitely beat you!"

Before Mo Rong could respond, the surroundings began to glow, completely submerging the two of them.

His eyes regained clarity and Mo Rong looked up. The dark grey stone above the stone gate had suddenly become bright, indicating that he had passed the first Pantheon.

"Strike while the iron is hot and see which pantheon I can reach in one lifetime."

After saying that, Mo Rong stood in front of the second Pantheon with his hands rubbed, and placed his palm on it.

The lock plate fell, the stone door moved up, and the light of the divine residence once again swallowed up the short figure in front of the door.

......

"You are distracted. I feel a mysterious aura taking hold of your will."

Bumblebee's distracted gaze slowly came to life, focusing on the burly figure sitting on a boulder not far away. Her mind was still a little confused, and it was not until a few breaths later that she realized what had just happened, and she felt shocked and confused.

This indescribable feeling was very strange. If she had to describe it, it was that she had split herself into another self, and then the two merged into one. The memories were mixed and connected in an instant, and there was a strong sense of fragmentation.

Her will was actually seized just now?

What kind of arena could have forcibly seized her while she was completely unconscious and dragged her in to fight against Mo Rong?

Questions kept popping up in Bumblebee's mind like mushrooms after rain, and he realized that even though he had thought about leaving the arena just now, he had never thought about why he was summoned there, as if everything was natural.

If this method is used in battle, it would probably be much stronger than Mo Rong's magic!

"Your will is a little weak, but I don't think it's my fault. After all, you lost consciousness before the training was even halfway through."

"I seem to have seen something similar to your state just now. A while ago, those rubbish in the city also lost consciousness and were then controlled by an unknown force and became violent. Those rubbish who were controlled did not have a strong enough mind, but you don't look like them now..."

Hunter walked up to Bumblebee and looked her over carefully before changing the subject: "But I sensed a hint of frustration in you. What happened to you just now?"

"I, I just..."

Bumblebee did not hide anything and told the hunter everything that happened in God's Abode, including the environment there and the appearance of the God-seeker. After listening, the latter had some understanding in his eyes, but also a chill.

"So it was those guys who relied on their own great spiritual power to rudely invade the world of will."

"You, do you know them?" Seeing that the hunter was so disgusted but seemed to know something, Bumblebee asked quickly.

“They want to get to know me.”

The hunter's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Not long ago, when I was resting, those guys broke into my mind for no reason. They said they wanted to worship me as the Supreme Being and wanted to take some spiritual power from me."

"If they were sincere, I would still consider it, but they are really rude to break into a hunter's territory without saying hello. If they hadn't run fast and I couldn't track their scent, there would definitely be more scratches on my log."

After saying this, Bumblebee seemed to understand some of the tricks.

So those guys can invade the spiritual world of insects at will, seize some of their spiritual power, and then use it to pull them into the arena?

No, it should be that only insects with weaker spiritual power can be captured, otherwise the hunters will not be able to detect and stop it. Although she doesn't want to admit it, it seems that she is also in the forefront.

"In theory, the spiritual power that has been taken away cannot be sensed by the main body anymore, but you are an exception."

What a freak.

The hunter didn't say the second half of the sentence. His feelings towards Bumblebee have been changing. From the first time he met him until now, this little guy always managed to scare him.

"I...I don't know either. Anyway, once the battle is over, I will return to the real world regardless of whether I live or die."

"So far, there are no other abnormalities. This is good news amidst the bad news."

Bumblebee sighed with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that I lost that battle."

The fangs beside the hunter's head moved slightly, but his tone was calm.

"You want to beat him before you even start your apprenticeship?"

"If you really want to beat him, you have to beat me first."
