Hollow Knight: Hallownest

There is no doubt that pure void creatures have the ability to devour souls, and this is even more obvious when it is manifested in the predecessors who are blessed by both divine powers.

Logically speaking, this Void Pantheon should not have the soul power to absorb, but Mo Rong had the help of Radiance, so when he saw Ying completely absorb the remaining power of the Shadow Soul, his already dark face was free of any emotion.

No wonder I had to use the virtual transformation to avoid it, it turned out that this was planned for a long time.

Okay, okay, the last one was to enhance the Void, and this one is to absorb the spell, they are both so sinister, right?...

The shadow couldn't hear Mo Rong's thoughts. If it had heard them, it would have replied to him at this moment -

"There are even darker ones."

The shadow's retreating steps suddenly stopped, and the bone nails were suddenly inserted into the ground. Powerful soul fluctuations suddenly emerged around Mo Rong, outlining circles of black strange patterned rings, noble yet enchanting.

The pattern was quite beautiful, but Mo Rong had no time to appreciate it. Although the color was different from what he remembered, he could recognize at a glance that it was the spell that King Bai had taught his predecessor. However, now the spell seemed to have eyes and appeared beside him with precise guidance, making it completely impossible for him to ignore it.

Boom boom boom——!

A series of explosions suddenly occurred as the pattern was completed, instantly enveloping Mo Rong in the powerful soul shock wave.

The noise was no less than when he released the darkness a while ago. If all the circles were concentrated in one place, it would probably be able to directly shatter half of the venue.

“Ahem… the souls it absorbed were obviously less than the ones I released, so how could it use such a large-scale spell?”

Mo Rong brushed away the dust in front of his eyes and muttered in dissatisfaction.

Although the ring's attack power is strong, it is not difficult to avoid it because of the delayed release, but...

He turned his head to look at the shattered field. It was as if a piece of it had been gouged out alive. The power was so huge that it was much stronger than the previous battle in the martial arts field. He was afraid that he would die if he was hit by one.

"It's obvious that it is much better than you in terms of soul affinity. You can only release the same soul reserve once, but it can release it multiple times or strengthen the release according to its will."

Radiance explained without any emotion that she had entered Ying's body and took control of half of it when the seal was being carried out. Naturally, she was much more familiar with its condition than Mo Rong.

"Soul affinity? Is that so..."

Mo Rong understood after a little thought. The senior was not only a container, but also a nearly perfect container. He had the power of the White King in his body. Combined with the ability of the void to devour souls, he could absorb and release more effectively.

Compared to my predecessors, I am just a product of Soul Master Somas's experiment, a pure void creature infused with consciousness. Although I can devour soul power for my own use, some of it may be lost in another way, or turned into nutrients...

"If I stop using magic, I can solve this hidden danger, but then I will lack the means of killing..."

Mo Rong muttered to himself, but the thought that had just come to his mind was extinguished by the radiation the next second.

"Although I don't want to mention that invader, it is undeniable that his attainments in the soul are better than mine. Since I can grant you the power to restore your soul..."

She didn't say anything else, but Mo Rong understood what she meant instantly.

Yes, I have never studied the acquisition and storage of the predecessor's soul. Now I think its soul power seems to be able to recover without deliberately drawing it. Could it be that...

Mo Rong's eyes flashed, as if he understood something.

Could it be the King's Soul? !

Even if what I guessed were just conjectures, the other party must have means to plunder souls from attacks. Even if I deliberately don't use them, I'm afraid that the seniors will indirectly plunder my soul power through attacks.

It's really a dilemma... Mo Rong clicked his tongue secretly.

Is this a pure container? It's quite tricky.

The shadow in the distance saw Mo Rong standing there motionless and thinking hard, so he raised his hand and the shadow under his feet began to fluctuate like a pool of water, and soon it was rising into the sky.

Mo Rong flapped his wings and flew into the air again, as if he had a premonition and just left the black pillar behind him, thus avoiding the disaster.

"Void spell?!"

His pupils contracted and he lost his voice slightly.

No wonder I suddenly noticed a strange fluctuation of void power beside me just now. It turned out to come from here.

Mo Rong secretly felt lucky. If this battle had taken place before Dageno, and he had not absorbed the latter's power to increase his perception and control over the void, he would probably have been corroded by the black pillar by now, and his life or death would be unknown.

However, in addition to using tendrils to attack, the void can also be presented in the form of spells? !

"Radiance, have you ever seen a spell like this before?"

"...I have some impression of this, but the attack range was wider and the preparation time was longer back then."

Radiance remembered it after a little recollection, but this kind of magic in ancient times required the cooperation of multiple void creatures to be released. He didn't expect that guy could use it alone.

What surprised her even more was that without much delay after the first black beam missed, another one shot up into the sky from the shadow just below Mo Rong.

"No, how come you use magic as casually as bone nails?"

Seeing this, Mo Rong knew that this battle could no longer be delayed. Every attack used by the senior was a killing move. The longer it was delayed, the lower his divination ability would be, and the more exhausted he would be mentally.

"Now that I have the Void Enhancement in my hands, I am no longer afraid of close combat. Magic has no eyes. I don't believe you will perish with me!"

The pitch-black body began to show traces of scarlet, and even the golden sky in the dream was dyed mostly blood-red, making Radiance almost think that the Nightmare King had invaded his dream again.

She could feel a violent energy filling Mo Rong's body. Although the level of power was not high, the will contained in it was enough to make even a god like her look with disbelief.

Moth One's cloak wrapped Mo Rong as he flew towards Ying, leaving behind him a trail of golden and dark shadows covered with a blinding red glow, like the setting sun falling to the ground, or like a ball of fire smashing towards the latter.

The bone nail was sacrificed and swung down just before Ying wanted to escape. There was a friction sound and sparks flew.

At this moment, Mo Rong's bone nails actually pressed down the bone nails that were blocking in front of Ying Ge!
