Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Chapter 68 Murong VS Somas

The research on the Soul Sanctuary is kept confidential, and the content is never made public. Even when recruiting volunteers, they did not explain clearly the process and purpose of the experiment.

But even if they didn't say it, Mo Rong knew very well that research on the Soul Sanctuary was never a good thing.

He still remembered the piles of mobs he encountered in the Soul Sanctuary after defeating the Soul Master in the game.

They have an ordinary appearance, and the confusion and panic in their eyes makes them want to entangle everyone they pass by, as if what they are grasping is their own life-saving straw.

'Wrong' and 'Stupid'.

That's their name.

At that time he only felt pitiful, but now he feels even more disgusted.

Every living person has his own name and destiny, but once they 'participate' in the research here, they lose everything about themselves, and even their names are replaced by the results of the experiment.

So Mo Rong changed his mind. He wanted to get rid of the soul master here, regardless of the consequences.

......

The sentries set up bone nails and rushed towards Mo Rong, and the flying sentries also picked up nail spears and stabbed him.

The scholar looked at Mo Rong in the center of the crowd and smiled contemptuously.

They knew that this person was the champion of the guard selection not long ago, but so what? Faced with the siege of dozens of people, could it be that he...

A whirlwind suddenly rose with Mo Rong as the center, and the circular offensive formed by the bone nails swept around, forcing the rushing sentries to stop.

The order they received was to capture this person alive. If he stabbed him with nails randomly, although they might not be able to break the trick, it would most likely damage the life of the experimental subject.

The bone nails on the ground hesitated, but the nail spear flying in the air seized the opportunity and threw it towards Mo Rong.

Seeing that the whirlwind had a faint tendency to stop after being attacked, everyone was overjoyed and moved forward. However, after just a few steps, a sudden change occurred.

A burst of white light erupted from Mo Rong's mouth, and the powerful force instantly shot down many sentries flying in the air.

The pupils of the shaman and Somas suddenly widened, and their thoughts were surprisingly consistent.

"Soul spell?!"

Somas quickly stood up and shouted:

"Don't hurt his life, be sure to leave him alive!"

The sentries had already decided to give up after seeing Mo Rong's battle. They didn't want to risk their lives to get so many Geos in a month.

After Somas said this, everyone hesitated even more. For a while, they could neither advance nor retreat.

Murong didn't have so many worries. He rushed into the crowd with the bone nails and rushed straight in the direction of Somas.

"A bunch of trash!"

Seeing this, Soumas didn't dare to continue sitting on the Diaoyutai. The light balls in his hands appeared one after another and hit Mo Rong.

But seeing Mo Rong turn slightly and easily dodge his attack, Soumas couldn't help but panic. The ball of light appeared in his hand at a faster speed, and the attack sped up a lot.

Sprint and slash!

These attacks seemed like nothing to Murong, and his bone nails had already struck Soumas' body.

"puff!"

Soumas' body was not as strong as that of ordinary warriors. From Mo Rong's perspective, he only used one blow and the soul master was already showing signs of decline.

Seeing that Soumas was injured, the sentries behind quickly came up to stop Mo Rong. After all, if something happened to their employer, they had nothing to do with it.

When Mo Rong saw the sentry coming from behind, he stepped aside and the spirit of revenge came out of his body, just in time to smash the instruments behind the shaman.

"And spells?"

After adjusting his breathing, Soumas saw this, his eyes filled with thoughts, and then decided to leave first.

This guy in front of you must be captured. His value is far greater than that of the bound ancient remnant!

Murong used tricks frequently, Soumas turned around and ran away, and the sentries also lost the desire to fight. They just stood not far away and looked at Murong, holding the bone nails and motionless.

Murong didn't want to confront them. Seeing the shaman escape from trouble, he thought that as he was still an experimental subject, he would not be in trouble for the time being. However, the soul master who left in a panic behind him was the culprit of everything.

He couldn't let the soul master go. He knew that the soul master definitely had the same idea.

The moth-wing cloak was activated, and Mo Rong ran quickly in the direction of Soumas' escape, but the speed on the other side was not slower than him. In addition, he did not understand the layout of the Soul Sanctuary, so he almost lost him several times.

While escaping, Soumas kept breaking jars filled with white substances, which Mo Rong recognized as being used to store souls.

Finally, as Soumas' body stopped, the two faced each other on the roof of the sanctuary.

"Haha, you are very conscious and have already chosen a cemetery for yourself."

Mo Rong looked at the surrounding environment. This was the place where he battled the Soul Master in the game, and couldn't help but smile at the Soul Master.

Thomas was not angry when he saw this, but asked curiously:

"Why are you so persistent in killing me? Have I ever offended you before?"

After hearing this, Murong looked at Soumas coldly and pointed the bone nail at the Soul Sanctuary behind him.

"The source in those jars also asked you this question, right? You are really good at using living people for soul experiments."

"Oh? You actually know this?"

Somas narrowed his eyes, as if he was weighing something in his mind.

"Well, since you are so great, I will make a condition to you."

"You will be my experimental subject, and I will immediately release all the ordinary people involved in the research in the institute, how about that?"

Mo Rong shook his head.

"not enough!"

His answer made Somas feel relieved. What Morong said was not enough, not no, so there was still room.

"Then let me add one more thing. If you agree to my conditions, after the experiment, you will be the second in command of the sanctuary."

"Hmph, that sounds nice. Will I still be alive after the experiment?"

"Of course! Your value is far beyond your imagination! How could I hurt your life?"

"It's still not enough!"

Soumas was a little annoyed after hearing this. He thought that anyone in the institute would reject the conditions without hesitation, but Mo Rong's appetite was bigger than he thought.

Forget it, let’s promise him for now. Once it falls into his hands, he won’t have the final say in everything.

"Okay, you come up with the conditions, and I agree to them all."

"Is this true?"

Morong walked forward as he spoke, and Soumas nodded.

"Then I want to..."

His steps became faster and faster, and his aura gradually increased.

"A head on your neck!"

Mo Rong suddenly burst into flames, raised his bone nails and started to kill Somas. Unfortunately, the Soul Master was prepared and retreated, and this blow only cut off half of his cloak.

"That's too much! I've been tolerant over and over again. Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon?!"

Soumas was also angered by his actions. Six balls of light suddenly appeared around him, and his hands were not idle. He approached Murong while throwing the balls of light at him.

The angry soul master did not attract any attention from Mo Rong, and it only took a little effort to avoid those light balls.

The two sides fought for several rounds, but none of Soumas' attacks hit Mo Rong. On the other hand, his cloak was in tatters and his body had many nail marks.

"Damn it! Why is this guy so flexible?!"

Soumas was floating in the air, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. After so many rounds, he understood that it was really difficult to defeat the guy in front of him with a ball of light.

In this case, try the spell you just got on him.

Murong picked up the bone nail and attacked Somas again. This time, he did not use the ball of light. Instead, he waited for Murong to get close and immediately smashed it down to the ground.

Desolate dive!

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Mo Rong hurriedly jumped up diagonally to avoid the blow, but the glass on the roof was not as strong as in the game. The soul master's move directly smashed a big hole in it and sealed the return. The way to the sanctuary.

Soumas has studied spells quite a bit, and after using it for the first time, he became as proficient as if he had mastered it from birth.

The barren swoop crashed down again, Mo Rong retreated again and again, and there was almost no place to stand under his feet.

"Let me see where else do you want to hide?!"

Soumas understood that he was now invincible. If all the glass on the roof was shattered, there would be nothing Mo Rong could do against him.

Although he couldn't take down Mo Rong, and although this result made him a little dissatisfied, facing such a powerful enemy who only wanted his life, he could no longer hold back.

The barren swoop struck again, but Mo Rong in front of him looked at him motionless.

"Humph, are you still giving up?"

As soon as this thought came up, Soumas' eyes turned white.

"drink!"

The next moment, two white energies collided with each other, the last piece of glass on the roof was completely shattered, and two figures fell from the sky.

"puff!"

Soumas lay on the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of despair, looking at the other dust, as if expecting something, but then a sound came that shattered his hope.

"Soul Master, I disappoint you."

Mo Rong's figure gradually became clearer, and at this moment, a shining shield appeared in his hand.

"How's it going? My spells are no worse than yours, right?"

"so so."

The bone nail in his hand gradually gained momentum, and Soumas saw the smile on his face at this moment, as if the devil was alive.

"I hope your bones are as hard as your mouth. Have you thought of your last words?"

Soumas didn't panic at this moment. Instead, he lay completely flat and looked at Mo Rong.

"You can't kill me."

"Oh? Then let me try?"

Murong didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, he raised the bone nail and slashed hard to make a move.

The moment the bone nails fell, a huge wave-like momentum from the sky pressed towards Mo Rong.

"not good!"

If he forcibly cut off this sudden force, he would be unable to protect himself. Mo Rong had no choice but to quickly let go of the bone nail in his hand and pour all his strength into the shining tortoise shell.

Seeing this, Soumas on the side didn't have the slightest fear, and said as if he was crazy:

"Hahaha, I said you can't kill me!"
