Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Following the increase in strength given by the void and the mastery of skills honed by the Pantheon, Mo Rong realized that he had once again undergone a transformation -

This time, it’s the gift of light.

When the power from the source of dreams spread to every vein in the body, the first to move was Dageno, who had been as steady as a rock before.

As one of the few bosses in the Pantheon who has independent consciousness and is not affected by the violence of the Void, even though Mo Rong stood there for a long time, Dageno did not take the initiative to attack.

The moment he appeared on the field, he determined the outcome of the battle. He did not attack, but he achieved his goal.

Even though Mo Rong's aura suddenly changed, he remained indifferent - if it weren't for the fact that the dream aura that was difficult to conceal leaked from the former's body rushed into his nostrils and stimulated the murderous intent flowing in his blood, he might have continued to stand there.

With just a few strides, Dageno's huge body pressed towards Mo Rong like a collapsing mountain to cover a distance of dozens of body lengths. Almost at the same time, the black bone nails passed by and created a dense net-like attack force that fell down like an overwhelming force. If they only touched the latter, his body would probably shatter into pieces and spread flat on the wasteland at his feet.

Mo Rong raised his head, and his eyes shining with golden light pierced into Dageno's deep pupils like a sharp sword. It seemed as if a golden bridge was built between the two, which was quite magical.

Ding Ding Ding-!

The two bone nails danced rapidly, and each strike landed precisely at the position he expected. Dageno's torrential attack was unexpectedly taken head-on by Mo Rong in an extremely tough manner. Even the subsequent counterattack was not sluggish at all, and he turned from defense to offense smoothly.

Although his thoughts were disrupted by the sudden light, giving Mo Rong the opportunity to swing the bone nail at him, the reaction engraved in his bones still made him use the Void Technique to avoid the attack.

When the bone nail was about to collide with the hard abdominal armor, Dageno ignored it. Instead, he reached out to Mo Rong's heart with one hand like lightning and passed through his body.

He saw it, saw a bright red beating heart in the palm of his hand, which kept beating and humming with victory.

ended.

Thinking this, Dageno straightened up, exerted a little force, and a blood mist exploded from his palm.

His eyes turned to the side, and Mo Rong stood frozen in place in a posture of bending over and swinging a nail, the blade of the nail sticking to the abdominal armor, unable to move forward even an inch.

He couldn't understand how such a weak-looking body could dare to swing a nail at him?

However, you didn't fall down even after losing your heart. It seems that your willpower is surprisingly strong. It's a pity that you don't have the corresponding strength.

Dageno withdrew his gaze, turned around and threw a nail at Mo Rong behind him.

The loser has no right to stand.

pat.

The sudden sound of the sticky liquid hitting the ground reached Dageno's ears, causing him to pause in his steps. He slowly lowered his head, and his pupils gradually shrank to the size of a needle tip.

Blood?

Is that...my blood?

A thunderclap exploded in Dageno's mind, stirring up his long-forgotten memories. Connecting everything that had just happened, he finally realized that something was wrong. Everything in front of him, called illusion, began to fade away, revealing its original appearance.

There was no heart, no blood mist, his arms and bone nails were suspended in mid-air, and the figure in front of him had long disappeared.

"The stronger the will, the weaker the constraints of the dream. If we had performed the spell just now, he would not have woken up even if you had skinned him alive."

Radiant Light's contemptuous and boastful words rang in Mo Rong's mind, but he ignored them. All he could hear was the sound of his heartbeat like a drum.

Dageno's special state did give him an opportunity to take advantage of, but the latter's almost perverted instinctive counterattack almost pierced him.

Since entering here, he has lost count of how many times he has struggled on the line between life and death. Logically, his mood should not fluctuate so much, but just now when Dageno counterattacked, he truly felt the biting cold brought by the imminent death.

This feeling is unlike any other time before...

"Radiance, tell me honestly, what is the price you have to pay to gain your power?"

Mo Rong looked at the void particles escaping beside him, his voice was dull and trembling, and the anger in his tone was difficult to suppress.

No wonder, no wonder I always feel a little uncomfortable since I accepted the baptism of the radiant power. I originally thought it was because I was not used to the new power, but now it seems that I was completely wrong!

Now I am being rejected by the void!

"Humph, do you really think your mortal bodies can safely contain two conflicting forces? Once you accept the power of light, your body will naturally be rejected by the void. This is the inevitable outcome!"

Being addressed by his real name, Radiant's tone wasn't much better.

After hearing this, Mo Rong almost couldn't breathe.

Although it seems that being repelled by the void does not affect the display of his own power, he knows that he has lost the biggest trump card that the Pantheon is based on -

He can't be resurrected!

Faced with a boss whose gradient was almost at the bottom of the level, faced with a boss who he could hardly gain the upper hand against in a head-on confrontation, he had absolutely no room for error!

"It seems that you already know the consequences of doing this...Okay, okay!"

"it is good!"

"Then I hope you can also afford the cost of doing so!"

Mo Rong roared, picked up the bone nail and rushed towards Dageno again.

Before Radiance could react, he was startled and thought Mo Rong was angry with him.

"What are you doing?!"

"Stop!"

“Stop it!”

Mo Rong turned a deaf ear to him. The bone nail in his hand was covered with golden gauze. He tapped the ground with his feet and jumped up. With a thought, the moth-wing cloak behind him flapped as if it had life. In an instant, Mo Rong turned into a shadow of light and darkness, and flew several body lengths away.

After being baptized by the power of light, the Moth Wing Cloak has been completely repaired. And because it has been baptized by the power of shadow, it can now be called a carrier of dual divine powers even more than Mo Rong.

Dream, it’s been a long time... The orange color in the depths of Dageno’s eyes suddenly faded away, replaced by a touch of nostalgia.

He began to take an interest in the battle.

Dageno clenched his other three hands slightly, and a hint of violence flashed in his eyes.

It was at this moment that Mo Rong heard the first words since entering the Pantheon.

"From this moment on, you will regret using the power of dreams."
