Hollow Knight: Hallownest

In front of the Temple of the Black Egg.

Hegemer's roar had no effect on Ying at all. The Bai in their memory seemed to have disappeared long ago and would not give any response.

"Submit to the void, or..."

"die."

The black bone nail instantly rose up and scratched across Hegemer's chest armor, leaving an extremely glaring black dent on the pale armor surface. At the same time, bits of white light peeled off his body imperceptibly and flowed from the tip of the nail into Ying's body.

"Big brother!"

The other knights stepped up to Hegemer's side and looked at him worriedly.

The latter raised his arm slightly, straightened his back, picked up the huge hammer, and shook his head at them:

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm protected by the breastplate and the blow just now only caused minor injuries."

Minor injury?

This word is not ordinary for them who are wearing special armor. If they want to cause effective damage based on their strength, perhaps only Shadow in front of them can do it easily.

After all, it came from their nails.

"Let's go together. We can't let it drag on. I have a bad feeling now..."

Isma frowned and glanced towards the dark and deep entrance of the Black Egg Temple.

Your Majesty, is the seal not over yet?

Hegemer looked at Ying standing in the distance and nodded in agreement with Isma's opinion.

The person who knows you best is often not yourself, but your comrade-in-arms who accompanies you day and night, or your enemy who you have fought for a long time.

But at present, this is undoubtedly the worst situation——

The comrades who had been with him day and night became enemies.

Hegmer swung his hammer and ran towards the cold figure in the distance. The air in front of him was continuously impacted by him, and a faint explosion sound of extreme compression could be heard. Then, he leaped up.

The huge hammer head fell like a meteorite, carrying with it a force that shook a mountain and landed on the bone nail that Ying held across his chest.

Ding--!

A long and crisp sound suddenly rang out. If Mo Rong was nearby, he would definitely not be unfamiliar with it. After all, this was the musical note that excited him the most.

The black bone nail sank a few points after being hit by the huge force, but it only stopped a few points and the giant hammer was suspended in the air.

Hegemer looked solemn. He felt that the strength he exerted on the hammer was like a stone sinking into the sea, not causing any ripples.

He had seen Bai use this kind of blocking technique before during his sparring with Bai in the training ground. However, when facing his full-strength attack, the opponent could only dissipate half of the force at most, and could not achieve the same effect as the current one.

The boost that the void brought him was far greater than he had imagined!

The bone nail scratched again, and the scar on Hegmer's chest armor formed a fork shape.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Isma slapped the ground with both hands, and two vines grew wildly, lashing towards Ying like long whips.

Due to the high toughness of the vines, coupled with the length and strength of the whip, the speed of the end is almost so fast that its shape is almost invisible. The sounds and explosions are like firecrackers exploding, and in the blink of an eye it arrives in front of Ying.

Got it!

Isma's eyes brightened slightly, but the next moment she was completely stunned.

The shadow didn't even raise the bone nails, and went straight towards the vine whip, but the attack that should have hit it went straight through its body and hit the air. Looking at the position of the shadow, it was already in the middle of the vine whip. With a raise of his hand, the nails fell, and the vine was immediately broken into two halves.

She had seen this scene not long ago when the insect asked Zemor for flowers. Could it be that the power that seemed to ignore all collisions was given by the void? !

Isma knew that the balance of this battle was probably no longer on their side.

“Fanta!!!”

Seeing the shadow flashing towards Isma, Orgrim dared not delay at all. He quickly stopped rubbing the stone ball with his hands, hugged his knees into a ball, and accelerated towards the shadow.

Among the five knights, Hegmer is undoubtedly the one with the greatest physical strength, but when it comes to defensive ability, Orgrim is the best.

The white meteor arrived in front of Ying in an instant. The latter used the same trick again, still holding the bone nails in front of his body to block it.

Orgrim's blows were accompanied by rotation, constantly rubbing against the blade of the bone nail, making a harsh friction sound. Seeing that he was delaying time, Isma immediately summoned vines again to wrap around Shadow's legs. With a sharp sound, many sharp thorns immediately grew on the rough surface of the vines, which turned into thorns and pierced into the latter's legs.

The full, muffled sound made Ying look down with an indifferent expression. The bone nail in his hand suddenly loosened, and he let Orgrim smash towards him.

Black and white intertwined, Ying's body became blurred again, and the target of Orgrim's attack instantly turned to Isma who was standing there in a daze.

Seeing the white ball rapidly enlarging in her eyes, a layer of flower cage rose up from the ground subconsciously to protect her. But before the former hit her, Zemor appeared beside her with a bone nail in his hand. With a graceful posture, he actually used a special skill to lead the white ball to the side and smash it into the open space.

After the white ball landed on the ground, it immediately stretched into the figure of Orgrim. There was fear in his eyes, and he was obviously blaming himself for almost attacking Isma.

"Work in pairs, look after each other, and try to link up all the attacks."

Hegmer has realized the seriousness of the problem. The current Ying is more powerful than the Bai in his memory. His bone nail skills alone are enough to match any of them. He must not take it lightly, and...

It hasn't cast a spell yet.

Four white shadows gathered towards the shadow standing still like flowing lights. A giant hammer fell from the sky, and vines formed a cage to imprison the latter.

As expected, the shadow faded away again, and Orgrim and Zemor attacked right after it, intercepting it just at the moment it materialized.

"Wake up! Shiro!"

The white ball and the bone nail fell on Ying's shoulders at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, pressing his body down a lot.

The force was still being exerted, but the black body seemed to be frozen in place, and no matter how hard they tried, it would not bend even a little bit.

Hegmer's pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted at Orgrim and Zemor: "You two, get away from him!!!"

He saw that where the three met, Ying's skin was constantly steaming like boiling water.

That was the sign of concentrating the spell!

Hearing Hegemer's cry, Zemor did not dare to delay. He immediately retracted the bone nails and floated back. Orgrim did the same and immediately stretched his body away from Shadow.

Unfortunately, he was a beat too slow, and a black pool appeared under Ying's feet.

The next moment, the black pool surged up wildly, carrying Shadow's body and blasting Orgrim straight to the top of the stone wall.

For the first time the light of Dirtmouth entered the quiet quarters of the Crossroads.
