Hollow Knight: Hallownest

After Dageno ascended from the abyss, the first place he went to was the White Palace, the last line of defense to suppress the abyss.

The Void God was not by his side at this time. After placing the Holy Spring of Void, he left the abyss and disappeared. No one knew where he went. He did not leave any words, nor did he give him any orders like Shadow did.

This was not because the Void God was negligent or eager to do something, but because he knew Dageno too well. If there was anyone in this land who could understand his supreme idea, agree with his philosophy and implement it firmly, it would probably be only Dageno in the entire Void Tribe.

This is also the reason why he has always been the supreme general of the Void Tribe.

"This aura really makes Xukong unhappy..."

Dageno walked on the basin and soon arrived at the square outside the white palace, allowing the guards patrolling outside to see him.

The strange thing was that Dageno's steps were not big, and his legs did not alternate quickly, but in the blink of an eye he had crossed most of the square and was about to step into the palace. This startled the guards and they shouted loudly:

"How dare you! This is a forbidden area of ​​the palace. Outsiders must stop and retreat! Anyone who trespasses without a letter or token will be killed without mercy!"

As he spoke, several guards surrounded Dageno and stared at him with eager eyes, their hands already holding their respective bone nails.

As guards picked from hundreds, each insect here is quite powerful, so their perception as warriors is not too bad either. Although Dageno did not deliberately show his power, they all realized the strength of this intruder. In fact, even if the former has restrained himself a lot, his huge size is enough to bring a strong visual oppression to the guards.

Dageno paused in his tracks, lowered his head slightly, and glanced at the guards around him without any change in his expression. Then, as if he had not seen them, he raised his legs and walked towards the palace gate, and at the same time, he threw out two words indifferently -

"So weak."

So weak?

The guards heard these two words exactly, and anger rose in their eyes.

As guards, they all have their own pride. Now this intruder not only ignores their warnings, breaks into the palace in front of them, but also mocks them?

This is too much!

"You mocked the guards, broke into the forbidden area of ​​the palace, and defied the laws of the kingdom. You are guilty of multiple crimes and must be killed on the spot!"

The captain of the guard team shouted loudly, changed his posture and rushed forward first, with the bone nail pointing directly at Dageno's chest.

Even if the enemy is several times larger than themselves, the guards will not retreat. They have fought against such insects during their growth, but they have rarely been defeated.

Dageno's figure rapidly enlarged in the captain's eyes, and the latter couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he saw that his bone nail was about to pierce his chest.

What a slow reaction! With such little ability you think you can break into the palace? What a fool!

"die!"

The bone nail was thrust forward suddenly and instantly sank into Dageno's chest. However, before the captain could even show any joy, he immediately discovered something wrong.

Why is there no sense of obstruction in this attack?

And, what about the blood?

The captain watched himself pass straight through the huge body, but then he saw a large ball of blood mist explode behind him, and some understanding appeared in his eyes.

That's right, it turned out that my attack was too fast, which caused him to be injured so slowly...

He shifted his gaze to his teammates, trying to find the admiration they once had for his abilities in their expressions.

But why are their expressions completely different from what I imagined?

Why do their expressions look so...horrified?

The guards looked at the captain, whose body had exploded into a bloody mist, with only a head left that fell like garbage. Their pupils shrank to the size of needles and they stood there in a daze.

Things happened so fast that they, as bystanders, didn't even realize what was happening.

They only remembered that the captain stabbed the giant bug and passed through his body. The next moment, the bug turned around and grabbed the captain's body, and then...

"team leader!!"

I don't know which team member shouted in surprise, and the guards immediately came back to their senses. They turned their gaze away from the rolling head on the ground, looked at Dageno with hatred, and rushed towards the latter together.

This scene was not only seen by the patrolling guards, but also by the sentry inside the gate, who quickly sounded the alarm, and then everything that Ida saw happened.

Those bright red beating hearts were clearly still in their chests just a moment ago. How on earth did that guy do it...

"Gulu."

His Adam's apple moved, and Ida swallowed his saliva secretly, but did not step forward to stop it immediately.

Facing the attack of dozens of guards, he was able to easily resolve it. He had a hunch that the big guy in front of him might be the most powerful opponent he had ever met in his life!

Then his figure flashed again, and he left the gate of the palace. He did not return to the training ground immediately, but went directly to the training ground deep inside.

I'm not bragging. Among the current guard troops, Ida believes that he is at the top. But now even he finds it difficult to deal with the situation. He must have the support of knights, otherwise the consequences will be hard for them to bear.

It was a pity that the martial arts arena, which used to be filled with loud noises, was unusually quiet today. Ida walked in quickly and indeed did not find any figure.

"You haven't come back yet..."

Ida thought to herself that something was wrong, and immediately returned to the training ground, took Rewek's hand, and led her to another exit without saying anything.

"What's wrong Ida, what happened?"

"I will explain it to you later. The situation is critical now. Please leave the palace first."

As Ida spoke, he rang the stag beetle bell. The Kingdom Express was very fast, and they heard numerous footsteps echoing from the cave one after another. Soon, a sturdy stag beetle appeared in front of them.

"Go home first, I'll come see you later."

"Hey......"

Without waiting for Revik to reply, Ida told the stag the destination and then turned around and ran back to the palace.

In just this short period of time, when he arrived at the entrance again, he no longer saw Dageno, but only the dead bodies lying on the ground and the group of guards spreading towards the palace. The scene was truly shocking.

At the same time, Dageno had already arrived at the training ground, looking at the nearly one hundred guards there with confusion in his eyes.

"How come such a huge palace is filled with this kind of people?"
