Hollow Knight: Hallownest

It's not white.

The knights didn't even need to exchange glances for this. Not to mention detecting the aura, just the inky black appearance alone was enough to astonish them.

For a moment, they once again felt uncomfortable with the breath of the void, even more so than with the black eggs and the giant beast under the abyss!

In an instant, the three knights moved to Hegemer's side, their eyes fixed on the tall figure walking towards them.

"Its sense of oppression has become stronger."

As if being locked by a bloodthirsty beast, every muscle in Hegmer's body twitched uncontrollably, urging him to leave quickly. The biological instinct of seeking profit and avoiding harm was pushed to the limit. If he were not a knight, an ordinary sentinel or guard would probably not be able to withstand the pressure at this time, losing his combat effectiveness or even fainting on the ground.

"Where is His Majesty the King?" Isma asked in a deep voice.

She had the quickest mind, but this only made her more and more flustered.

Bai's abnormality was obviously not notified in advance, which means it was an abnormality beyond the plan. Could it be that...

The seal failed?

No, even if he didn't sense the breath of the plague, the other knights would not have missed it. Not even a trace of it had been coming out of the temple in these days, so the problem was not with the seal.

Where is that?

Isma was thinking hard but could not figure it out. At this moment, another short figure walked out from the darkness at the entrance of the temple, also dragging his robe. Even though he had escaped from the darkness behind him, the shadow seemed to have a soul, and it walked towards them slowly, like a servant, surrounding him.

At this moment, no knight would be foolish enough to mistake that figure for his king.

Even though the Void God did not release his aura immediately, in the eyes of the four knights, their world had been approached, shrouded by a sky-high black curtain, and was dim and dark.

The one who felt it the most was Orgrim.

Deep in the abyss, he once went deep into the body of the Black Worm. When the blood faded away, the feeling of being enveloped by the void still frightened him. If his will had been a little weaker at that time, he would never have been able to break free from the countless tentacles.

But when my eyes fell on the short figure, although the situation was different, that feeling still involuntarily surged into my heart, causing my memories to begin to distort.

He seemed to see the scene of himself being eroded and digested by the void.

There is no chance of winning this battle.

The same thought appeared in the minds of the other knights. Under the shadow, their bodies seemed to be frozen and became increasingly stiff.

The knights were all too familiar with this feeling, but it was Wuen who gave them this feeling at that time.

A god.

And now, the same feeling fell on them, only stronger, not weaker, making them completely unable to think of resisting, so the short figure in the distance was undoubtedly another god -

A god more powerful than the gods themselves.

Then, an even more disturbing thought arose in their hearts.

How did he get in?

"Gulu..."

I don't know who swallowed it, or maybe all the knights were so tense that Hegmer suppressed his fear, restrained his trembling arms, picked up the giant hammer, and said sternly:

"Full alert!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three knights moved to their positions, took out their weapons, and assumed fighting stances, ready to meet the enemy.

Perhaps due to excessive pressure, every knight could clearly hear the heavy breathing of his companion.

Facing a god, their first reaction would not be to fight. But if even they were to retreat, there would probably be few left in Holy Nest who could take on the responsibility of defending against the enemy.

The Void God strode in the waves of the void, and with every step forward, the scenery around him was swallowed up by the boundless darkness in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately for the knights, the Void God did not attack them, and did not even approach them. After a few steps, he was obscured by the darkness, and his figure became increasingly blurred in the field of vision, and then he completely disappeared.

Before leaving, the Void God only left a whisper.

As early as the moment he stepped out of the stone chamber, Bai no longer existed, and in his place was the first general under the restoration of the void -

"Shadow, make them submit."

"As ordered."

The pressure from the ancient gods suddenly faded away, and the dark sky covering the world also disappeared without a trace. This suddenly reduced the pressure on the four knights, but the alarm bells in their hearts continued to ring wildly.

As it took a step forward, the armor on Shadow's shoulders exploded into pieces, and a black bone nail soaked in void matter appeared in its palm.

The arm that had been broken when it was sealed had somehow returned to its original shape and lay quietly at the side of the body.

It seemed to be the body instinct left over from past battles. The moment the bone nail appeared, it was rolled into a nail flower and held behind the body. The next moment, it stopped moving forward and slowly lowered its body.

Like a cheetah locking onto its prey.

Sudden——

A rapid friction sound was heard, and a gray streak caused by sand and stones spread towards Hegemer like lightning, and arrived in front of him in an instant.

The former's pupils contracted, and all his strength was instantly transferred to the arm that was holding the hammer handle, hoping to lift the hammer as soon as possible to block the oncoming attack.

Ding--!

The black bone nail stopped at the connection between the hammer handle and the hammer head, pressing down the giant hammer that was about to be raised with an extremely tough attitude.

The white armor trembled. Hegemer had used all his strength, but he still couldn't lift the giant hammer that was pressed down by the bone nails. He raised his head and met Ying's gaze.

The empty pupils that existed in his memory were no longer there, and deep in the expression filled with murderous intent, he could see a sense of arrogance, like a giant beast staring at an ant, which was a disdain that came from the level of life.

The opponent could have swung the blow directly at him.

As a knight, he was also an excellent warrior. All these thoughts came to his mind during the first collision, but he did not get angry. Instead, he began to call out anxiously:

"Bai! Wake up! You're being influenced by the Void!"

Ying looked at him indifferently. Unexpectedly, the former did not take any further action the moment he uttered this sentence.

Hegmer thought it worked, and then said: "Hold on to your will, don't let that violent force mess up your mind! Otherwise you..."

"I am nothingness."

This answer stunned all the knights present, and they looked at Ying in disbelief.

As far as they could remember, they had never heard Bai speak.

Then, their hearts fell to the bottom because of the meaning of this sentence.

"Its mind is twisted, our words are useless."

"So, let's fight."

"For Shiro."
