Hollow Knight: Hallownest

The dim light coupled with the creepy atmosphere created by the mournful singing made Mo Rong shiver uncontrollably.

The voice sounds quite open, but why does it sing like it's taking your life?

He raised his head and looked around. Apart from the suspended stairs, he could not see the boss. The vision in this place was not very good. Even if he squinted his eyes and looked hard, he could only see things within ten steps of himself. Anything further away was pitch black.

Even though he was unable to see the boss in person at the first opportunity, Mo Rong did not let down his guard at all.

In addition to the miserable singing that was still ringing in his ears, he also caught a different sound from another direction—similar to the wailing produced when he released his soul spell.

The sound came from far away and soon rushed out from the darkness, floating towards him.

Looking closely, I saw that the white mist that looked like a soul had some black tears dripping from its eyes.

"Soul attack?"

Mo Rong dodged immediately. He couldn't think of anyone else in Hallownest who could use this iconic attack except Eyeless.

As he climbed up the stairs and dodged four or five soul attacks in a row, the Eyeless, who was also floating in the air, finally appeared in front of him.

"hiss--"

After seeing the eyeless face, Mo Rong couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine and his heart skipped a beat.

His expression was twisted by sadness, his long hair was scattered all over the place, and his eyes were empty but blood and tears were flowing from them. He looked like a ghost who had his eyes gouged out and died unjustly.

It's confirmed, Hollow Knight is a horror game.

After calming down from the sudden shock, Mo Rong raised his hand and chopped it with the bone nail.

When he thought about how Wuyan would flash to somewhere and jump to kill him, he wished he had a few more arms and a few more bone nails.

Before the attack came, Wuyan took action before him, dodged the bone nails by turning his body to the side, and the singing in his mouth became more rapid.

Soul attacks no longer appeared one by one from the darkness, but instead floated in groups with a certain rhythm, interweaving and surrounding Mo Rong who was standing on the stairs.

They have no physical form and therefore no limitations; they simply obey the call of the song.

Seeing this, Mo Rong did not argue any further and turned around and left.

Due to the limitations of terrain and vision, he could not risk being attacked and exchange injuries for injuries. There were indeed five or six souls floating in his field of vision, but this did not represent all. There might be many souls wandering below that he could not see, just waiting for him to let down his guard.

While paying attention to the gaps between soul attacks and observing Wuyan's movements, he silently counted numbers in his mind to keep track of time.

He had to calculate the intervals between the eyeless flashes, so that he could avoid many useless movements.

"1, 2, 3..."

As the count continued to increase, Mo Rong's doubts also increased.

He was almost counting to ten, so why was Wuyan still floating in the same place?

The Eyeless in the game will not stay in the same place for a long time. Regardless of whether the player attacks or not, it will actively flash around the venue, and will even flash immediately when attacked by the player.

Why does this eyeless person in front of me feel a little...slow?

Bang-!

The loud noise caused by the violent collision of the air suddenly came from his ears. Mo Rong's heart trembled. Before shifting his gaze, he took out his shield to block the direction of the sound and lowered his body to withstand the impact.

This choice was undoubtedly the best. The next moment after he made the move, the shield suddenly transmitted a huge force backwards, which pushed its owner back several steps, causing his body to stagger slightly.

What was that just now?

Isn't it a soul attack?

Mo Rong lowered his shield, swallowed his saliva, and looked at the darkness behind him with lingering fear.

The attack just now was not only in speed, but also in strength, which was far beyond the reach of the white souls he had just seen. If his reaction had been a little slower, the feeling of being hit would have been unpleasant.

Moreover, why do I have this familiar feeling for no reason?

I clearly didn't even see the attack just now.

At this moment, he did not dare to put away his shield, for fear of a sudden attack similar to the one just now. At this time, Wuyan happened to float downwards and removed the cover of the black curtain.

"your eyes......"

Mo Rong looked at Wuyan, his expression suddenly changed, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

Not long ago, black tears were clearly dripping from the eyeless eye sockets, but now, those tears have connected together, flowing like a torrent, even more terrifying than before.

Oh no, is the battle just starting now?

As the thought arose, Wuyan seemed to be inspired and looked down at Mo Rong below.

Unlike the emptiness of her predecessors, her empty eye sockets could reveal thousands of thoughts even without eyeballs.

Bang-!

Mo Rong immediately came back to his senses and raised his shield, shifting his gaze away from Wuyan. The latter's body had no attack capability, so he didn't need to pay too much attention to him.

What we need to figure out right now is another attack similar to the previous one!

He felt a familiar force on the shield. This time he was prepared and took two steps back to steady his body. But before he could make any adjustments, the next explosion came from the darkness.

"Fuck!"

Mo Rong's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instantly activated the shadow cloak following the direction of the sound.

The two attacks he had dealt with previously allowed him to gauge the speed of the surprise attack. Although he only had a rough idea in his mind, he still managed to dodge this one by luck using Black Charge.

If he relied on luck alone to win, Mo Rong knew very well that he would lose unfairly, because he had just stood still for a moment when a strong wind blew out of the darkness beside him.

The continuous attacks and the cooling of Black Charge made him subconsciously pick up the shield and raise it in the direction he heard.

This time he still did the same as before and successfully blocked the attack in front of him, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, making him feel as if all his internal organs were shattered on the spot.

"Uh!"

Mo Rong's eyes widened, his body flew forward uncontrollably, and rolled to the ground.

Not only did his expression show the ferocity brought by pain, but deep down there was also fear and unwillingness flowing through him. For a moment, he was like a completely different person.

Mo Rong felt this change clearly. When the attack hit him, his emotions were like those sorrowful souls floating in the air, tortured by darkness and unable to be freed, that he had encountered when he was pulled back to the abyss of exile.

As a result, a lot of fighting spirit was lost.

"What on earth was that thing just now?"

Mo Rong climbed up, staring intently at the darkness that enveloped him.

This time he was lucky, the explosion sound came from the direction he was looking at, and at the moment the attack appeared, he couldn't help but lose his voice:

"What the hell, Shadow Soul?!"
