Hollow Knight: Hallownest

The soft lotus pods caught every falling creature and wrapped up every collapsed piece of the long bridge, causing almost all the residents of Dirtmouth who were running for their lives to stop and look up at this spectacle.

"Where did those plants come from? It's so timely..."

"So...so awesome..."

"It is God. There must be a God protecting our safety. Please pray with me..."

Murmurs of amazement lingered on every street in Dirtmouth. Naturally, some residents noticed a figure in an emerald green dress. Slender flowers and plants were entwined around her arms that were patting the ground, and vines wrapped around her like a bag. The breath of life spread around her, calming their panic.

"So... so beautiful..."

"Those plants seemed to be summoned by her. Who is she? Do you know her..."

"I feel like I've seen it somewhere...but I can't remember where..."

Compared to the other four knights, Isma is the knight who least appears in front of the residents of Hallownest. Only a few people have seen her in picture books. Therefore, when she appeared here, unlike Orgrim, some sharp-eyed bugs could recognize her immediately.

"Huh...huh..."

Isma tilted her head slightly, her face was abnormally flushed, and her breathing was rather rapid.

The spell that covered the entire Dirtmouth almost instantly drained her body. Even maintaining the spell became a difficult task at this moment. If she had not seen that the residents had not yet landed safely and her will had forced herself to hold on, she would probably have collapsed long ago.

At this time, Orgrim had just landed on the ground and steady himself. Even with the cushioning of the lotus pod, with the number of people he and he were holding in his arms, they still smashed a large hole in the stone floor.

"You are safe."

He let go of the bugs that were originally on the long bridge. Most of them were still a little dizzy, obviously confused by the double impact of the disaster and surviving the disaster. But there were still some relatively sober bugs among them. Orgrim could recognize them. They seemed to be still cursing him on the way down.

Feeling Orgrim's gaze, the insects' bodies suddenly stiffened, some of them wanted to cry but couldn't, but some still spoke up:

"What are you looking at? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be in this situation."

The other bugs looked at him in disbelief.

Is this guy crazy?

Didn't he know that the man opposite him was a knight?

Even if he was rescued, the bug who spoke had already been sentenced to death in their hearts. You know, even ordinary sentinels have bad tempers, let alone a knight.

Orgrim looked at the bug directly without saying anything. Instead, he took a step forward and stood in front of him.

"You you you...what are you going to do..."

The insect looked at the shadow that blocked out the sun in front of it, and its legs began to tremble unconsciously, and even its speech began to stutter.

Just as Orgrim raised his hand and the insects closed their eyes in fear, the expected screams did not come. When they opened their eyes again, they all looked stunned.

I saw the sturdy figure bending his back and lowering his head, even a few inches shorter than the insect.

"I'm sorry to have frightened you. This is a knight's negligence. I'm sorry!"

The stubborn bug stood there in a daze, and subconsciously said: "No...it's okay..."

What is this, an apology from the Knights?

The Cavaliers are apologizing to him?

Then Orgrim bowed to the bug beside him and hurried towards Isma, came to her side and helped her up. At the same time, Hegmer and Zemor also came to their side.

There were still residents who had not been able to catch the lotus just now, and the two of them also participated in the rescue operation.

"Ishma, how are you?"

Orgrim looked at her with concern and asked quickly.

Isma took a deep breath and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"Where's he? Didn't you two come up here together?"

Hegemer narrowed his eyes, his gaze focused on the black cloak fluttering in the wind not far away, his expression solemn.

"He's watching us right there."

Several knights looked to the side and saw Shadow holding a bone nail, walking towards them at a leisurely pace.

"I... am I dazzled? You slap me. Forget it, I'll do it myself..."

"That's Knight Hegmer, right? The other three who can stand with him, grunt..."

"This is a dream, it must be a dream, otherwise how could I see four knights appear in front of me at the same time?"

Words about the knights piled up one after another, attracting all the residents to gather here. The crowd was excited and kept shouting "Five Knights!"

The bugs in Longbridge and Dirtmouth seemed to have forgotten that they had just escaped from a disaster, and all they could think about was the lively scene of the four knights appearing here.

The scene was extremely beautiful for them, but it was the opposite for the knights.

"Please stay away from this place and don't come any closer."

Hegemer frowned and tried to stop him, but Zemor had an even sterner face and drew a circle on the ground with the huge bone nail diagonally, warning the swarm of insects that were ready to move.

Seeing the shadows getting closer to the swarm of insects, Hegmer became more anxious, and even emitted a low roar, but the effect was still not good. The insects' curiosity about them even overshadowed the fear in their hearts.

At this time, the shadow had already touched the first resident.

thump--

The muffled sound of flesh hitting the ground was not loud, and was drowned out by the noisy insect swarm as soon as it was made. Only the four knights' faces changed drastically, as they had seen the scene clearly.

The shadow passed through the insect's body as if nothing, and then the light in the latter's pupils suddenly disappeared, and it fell down as if its soul had been taken away.

Thump, thump, thump——

The continuous sound of people falling to the ground was like the death knell. Seeing this, Hegmer finally raised his giant hammer and smashed it forward. The shock wave caused the ground to crack suddenly, and at the same time, it also knocked the swarm of insects in a straight line in front of him to both sides.

Ying still maintained his pace, completely ignoring Shockwave, but just after taking a few steps, a huge bone nail appeared at his neck, lying across it.

Looking down, I saw a short figure that looked extremely out of place.
