Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Ida's eyes widened in the audience, and her chin almost touched the ground.

"Brother...brother, did you see clearly just now?"

Mo Rong shook his head.

The game ended much faster than he imagined. He thought that Galion was also a boss and could take a few rounds in Delia's hands. Unexpectedly, he was completely defeated after the two met.

"Is this a knight? I wonder what would happen if I competed with Master Sly."

Kui Ruo still had some unfinished ideas.

Seeing that the fight was over, the referee hurriedly stepped onto the ring to announce the result.

"Dear audience friends, I believe you have seen the result of the challenge. In the battle with the Lord Knight, No. 29 will be defeated even though it is an honor."

"Then because of No. 29's defeat, the final champion of this guard selection competition is..."

"Number one!"

"Team No. 1 is invited to come on stage!"

The cheers from the audience were still enthusiastic, but mixed with some taunts like 'good luck' and 'shit luck'.

Mo Rong and others don't care about this. Who doesn't want the free-win champion?

After walking onto the ring, Delia held the medal in her hand, looked at the three of them and said.

"I only have one medal in my hand, which means that only one of the three of you can become a guard of the palace, but the other two can get a lot of Geo compensation. You make your own choice."

It was Delia's first time hosting a competition, and she originally wanted to be tested in the championship team. She wanted more than just an ordinary guard, but someone who could serve the queen wholeheartedly.

But there was only Gallian before. Delia could see that he longed for power, but this kind of person could go astray because of power if he was not careful, so just when she was planning to postpone the matter to next year, something happened After a change, Mo Rong and others won the championship.

She is actually very optimistic about this team and is interested in recruiting it, but the process still has to go through.

Although Ida knew that Delia was a knight, she still asked unconvinced:

"What does this mean? The promised champion can become a guard?"

"Can knights tamper with the rules privately?"

"You don't agree?"

"Of course I don't accept it! The three of us won this game together. Why..."

"Then I'll give you a chance to challenge me. If you win, all three of you can become guards."

"..."

Ida wanted to refute, but the two stopped him.

"Come on, since there is only one person, you can go ahead. We didn't intend to be guards in the first place."

"Yes, Brother Date, I'm just here to get my grades."

Seeing that the two of them did not compromise even after saying this, Ida said angrily:

"That's different! Don't let it be your business. If she doesn't give it, it's not in compliance with the rules!"

"Can you do whatever you want if you are strong?"

Delia glanced at Ida as if to say "What else?".

Ida lowered his head and his lips quivered, and a trace of orange light slowly crept into his eyes.

"If you are not strong enough, you will not be able to protect the people you cherish in front of monsters."

"If you are not strong enough, you will be bullied by the nobles and have nowhere to redress your grievances."

"If you are not strong enough, you will let others take away what you deserve."

With every word Ida spoke, Ida's anger and tone became more intense, and the orange light in her eyes took up more space.

Mo Rong pulled Ida aside, feeling that something was wrong with his tone, and motioned for him to calm down.

"So there is no way for the weak to survive in this world, right?!"

Ida suddenly raised her head, her eyes glowing with orange light. She turned the bone nail in her hand and kicked off to attack Delia.

His figure was as fast as lightning, which was clearly the strength that he could only possess in the dream state that he was pursuing so hard.

Mo Rong was shocked at the side, but when he saw the orange light in Ida's eyes, he was shocked to realize that Ida had been infected by the radiation plague!

"Oops! Get out of the way!"

Murong pushed Quiruo aside. He was not sure whether Ida would turn to attack them. In Murong's mind, people infected by the plague would most likely be attacked indiscriminately.

But Kui Ruo didn't make any response at this time. He turned around and saw that part of his eyes were occupied by the orange light.

There was no other way, so Mo Rong had no choice but to escape first, but the worse was yet to come.

Large and small orange lights also appeared in the eyes of everyone in the audience, and even Gallian on the other side was not immune.

"Power...the power I crave!"

The giant scythe beside him had begun to spin, and Mo Rong shouted something bad when he saw this. If Gallian started to attack indiscriminately, then no one in the entire arena would be spared.

It was too late for him to stop him now. He looked around and found Sly right next to him, so Murong shouted:

"Master Sly! Stop him! He's going to attack!"

Sly had just knocked out his three apprentices when he heard the shouts of Mo Rong on the other side. He was wondering why Mo Rong was fine. At the same time, he also saw Gallian who was preparing to attack.

In a flash, Sly was behind Gallian, knocked him out, and then ducked near Morong.

"You brat, do you know what's going on?"

"They may have been infected by a plague that seemed to inspire aggression in people."

"Then why are we okay?"

"After waiting for a while, master, if you want to know, ask me again."

As he spoke, Mo Rong rushed towards the crowd on the other side, trying to stop those who were attacking each other, and Sly followed him to assist him.

Delia on the other side couldn't help but sigh when she saw Ida rushing toward her with the bone nails in hand:

"What a fast speed! He is indeed the person I like."

Then she ducked behind him and knocked him out. Looking around again, she realized that the change that Mrs. White mentioned must have happened.

"Queen, something strange has happened in the City of Tears. Please report it to the King."

......

In the room of the White Palace, the White Lady is exploring the outside world through the roots that spread throughout the kingdom.

Immediately, he received the signal from Delia and hurriedly walked towards the palace.

"Your Majesty, Delia reported that there is something strange happening in the City of Tears."

"okay, I get it."

The figure on the throne suddenly disappeared and disappeared.

......

King Bai civilized many insects in this land, but there was only one place he had to give up.

In the dark depths of this invisible place, threats are hidden everywhere. The Gom who sometimes breaks out of the ground and has sharp teeth all over his body, the Gapid who sometimes travels in the caves to hunt, the reptiles who are born from the corpses of insects, and the dust carvers buried under the dust.

All the creatures here seem to be following the rules left over from ancient times. It can also be said that their inner nature has long been ingrained and no one can change it.

But in such a world, there is a shabby room hidden deep in the darkness. Its walls and floor are covered with various masks, and in front of the workbench surrounded by masks, sits a huge but tall man. The rickety figure is waving the paintbrush and carving knife in his hands, creating a new mask.
