Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Chapter 48 A small test of one’s skills

The lord's figure had disappeared from his eyes the moment Mo Rong finished answering.

Only then did Mo Rong realize a problem.

The battle in the game is two-dimensional, but the world you are in is actually three-dimensional, which means...

A whirlwind struck from behind, and Mo Rong jumped up quickly and chopped off the bone nail in his hand.

"Ding~"

Yes, this means that the source of attacks is no longer simply left and right, but comes from all directions!

After being hit by the spinning nail spear, Mo Rong's body felt unbalanced for a long time, and he almost fell to the ground, and couldn't help but panic.

Why did the body of stability fail?

Without giving him a moment to rest, the lord's nail spear struck again. Mo Rong was not stunned for too long. He quickly reacted and struck again.

This time he adjusted his body shape and landed steadily, putting aside the matter of stabilizing his body for the time being. Although it would have an impact, he could still fight if he paid more attention.

Mo Rong looked around hurriedly, looking for the lord's figure, but found nothing.

Up!

The moth-wing cloak activated instantly, and the nail spear fell from the sky and almost pierced Mo Rong.

"Huh~, it's so dangerous."

I was momentarily panicked about the amulet, so I took a long breath to calm down.

He's getting serious.

......

The lord noticed the change in Mo Rong, but he didn't care too much and attacked him from above again.

The moment she dodged above it and stabbed her body with the nail spear, Mo Rong suddenly jumped to the side without even raising her head, turned around and struck her with the bone nail, and when she landed, Then he hit her again.

Painful, she quickly stepped aside and looked at Mo Rong with a frown.

luck?

Otherwise, there is no way to explain what this person did just now. Since it was luck, it would not be able to withstand the test of strength!

Put the bone nail on the waist, bend your body and exert force on your legs, and the nail spear quickly stabs Mo Rong.

Although this move is simple, it really tests the warrior's reaction ability, especially in the face of unpredictable moves.

But Mo Rong was always on guard against her. When he saw her coming, he immediately jumped up to dodge the blow. Not only that, while dodging in the air, he didn't forget to nail her.

She didn't believe in evil, so she ducked to the other side again and rushed towards Mo Rong again.

He thought he would dodge once but was unable to react in time, so he used the same technique again.

Not luck!

Having already been hit by four nails, she immediately realized that the little guy in front of her was far from as simple as they imagined!

Speed ​​it up and try him again.

Thinking like this, the lord clung to the iron net and threw the nail spear in his hand towards Mo Rong from bottom to top.

This move couldn't do anything to him, so the lord didn't wait for the second stage of the nail spear's turn, and directly dodged to the other side to catch the nail spear, and sprinted towards Mo Rong again.

It worked!

Although there was no hit, the little guy was obviously disrupted. The corners of the lord's mouth turned up slightly. She understood how to deal with this little guy.

......

"Let me go, why did this Mantis Lord change his tactics?"

Murong remembered that the spinning nail spear had a second swing, so why did it disappear here?

Before he could figure it out, the lord's nailed spear flew over again, this time from top to bottom. Mo Rong was sure of the distance, so this first section would not hit him.

A sudden change occurred. When the spike spun to the top of his head, it was cut off by the lord again, and it stabbed straight down towards him on the ground.

"Again?!"

Mo Rong's eyes widened and he quickly activated his moth-wing cloak to avoid it. The battle scene changed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. The only advantage was that the space for dodge was greatly increased.

"Good guy, you've changed your tactics, haven't you?"

Although these two attacks caught Mo Rong off guard, they also made him understand the meaning of the lord's move.

In addition to sprinting and dodging, the spinning spear and these two skills were perfectly integrated by the Lord.

In other words, it is no longer the simple three moves in the game, but also includes two new moves extended from it, a total of five moves!

"Is this considered a benefit for time travellers?"

Mo Rong smiled bitterly, but without the slightest hint of timidity, he tightened the bone nails in his hands and looked at the lord not far away, the fighting spirit in his heart rising continuously.

If the previous battles were all about Yugi's back, then from now on, he had to focus solely on his reflexes.

Who is not at his peak? !

......

To be honest, she had never used these two moves to test the warriors in her tribe. Looking at the figure not far away, she was a little worried that she was too harsh on outsiders.

But Mo Rong's performance immediately gave up her idea.

The aura slowly rising from his body could be clearly felt by her even though she was far away.

"You didn't flinch at all, but instead stimulated your desire to fight even more?"

She appreciates the little guy in front of her more and more, but this means that she has to focus more on this battle.

Once again, she threw the nail spear from bottom to top towards Mo Rong. This time she did not catch it immediately. Instead, when she saw that Mo Rong was jumping without dodging left and right, she dodged to the iron net on the other side and her legs jerked violently. force.

At this time, the spinning spear was exactly three points to one point between Mo Rong and her.

She wanted to see how this person could dodge this blow from the air?

The expected attack did not fall on Mo Rong. She never expected that this guy's body shape could actually change directions in the air and hit her with a bone nail from the side.

The fifth time.

She still has five chances. This is the rule set by the lord for herself. If someone can leave ten scars on them all during the selection, then they will have failed.

Throwing out the nail spear in her hand again, she stared at Mo Rong intently. She didn't believe that this person had no flaws at all.

The nail spear spun twice, and when she was about to go to the other side to retrieve it, she saw Mo Rong rushing towards her with the bone nail in hand, and he began to take the initiative to attack!

......

It's very annoying for Mo Rong to be beaten passively.

Only by firmly grasping the rhythm of the battle can the battle end more perfectly.

The nail spear flew towards him again. This time the lord did not use any variation, but went to the other side to recover the nail spear.

Then now is the time for him to launch a counterattack!

Murong rushed towards the lord, accumulating momentum during the sprint. When the nail spear returned to the lord's hand, his attack was launched in time.

With a flash of cold light, he sprinted and slashed!

This blow was much more subtle than the previous five, and the lord sitting on the stone chair couldn't help but admire him. However, the lord who was fighting against Murong didn't feel comfortable. When this blow fell on her, her throat felt sweet, and she was actually He suffered some internal injuries.

If it were in the game, Morong didn't know why, but every time he saw the spinning spike, he would have to hit it several times, but now he didn't dare to do this, who knew if the lord would suddenly appear next to him.

After this attack, Mo Rong didn't stay much and hurried back to the center of the battlefield. Only in this way could he avoid being distanced so that he could carry out the next attack.

The lord also stepped aside, looked at Mo Rong not far away, and sighed slightly.

She was actually defeated. Five times, five attacks in total, she didn't even touch Mo Rong's body.

On the contrary, he was hit six times by this little guy.

Holding the spike in hand, the Lord tried his best to make the last five attacks go perfectly, but unfortunately, the ending was not dissimilar to the previous one.

When his body suffered damage from the tenth bone nail, the lord put away the nail spear and walked slowly to Mo Rong, bowing and saluting.

"Challenger, the first battle is over, congratulations."

When Mo Rong saw the lord approaching, he thought he had a new move. The bone nail in his hand was still placed on his chest. After hearing what the lord said, he was stunned for a moment.

"It's over? So soon?"

He had just finished warming up his body, and it was over after just a few swings of the bone nail?

The lord nodded slightly and explained to him:

"In the first stage, you only need to counterattack ten times to win. The same is true for the second stage after that, but it must be ten times for each person. Good luck to you."

Lord Mantis raised his hand and the iron net slowly rose.

"You can rest for a while now, and when you're ready, we'll go straight to the next stage."

Mo Rong nodded. He really had to find out why the talisman in his body failed, and turned around and walked out of the battlefield.

When the soldiers and young men watching the battle saw Mo Rong coming down, they all moved out of the way, with surprise and admiration in their eyes. The doubts scattered on the sidelines also dissipated at the end of the battle.

No harm!

The outsider in front of them actually passed the first stage of their lord's test without any injuries, and he still seemed to be able to do it with ease. Such strength made them admire him!

They are now looking forward to the second stage of the outsider's test. When two lords take action at the same time, how far can he use his strength?

By then, what kind of dazzling skills and power will he show?
