Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Because of the chaos caused by the plague infection, almost all dense areas were avoided, with the exception of two places, the Crystal Mountain Peak and the Soul Swamp.

Logically speaking, the former will be affected to some extent, but unexpectedly, once the infected residents set foot in the area where the Crystal Peak is located, the orange light in their eyes becomes clearer. Unfortunately, this does not have much effect. It just made them turn around, but it helped the miners in the Crystal Mountain Peak avoid disaster.

The reason why the latter were not affected naturally does not need to be explained, but this does not mean that the spread of the plague has not brought some changes to them.

Karina found that the lines on her wings had become clearer recently, and her power had become stronger inexplicably.

In the eyes of outsiders, the moth tribe is mysterious. They were appointed by the king to guard this place where countless dead souls are buried, and they have the power to influence the minds of others.

In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that every member of the Moth Tribe is somewhat extraordinary.

But just like the commoners and nobles in the City of Tears, the Moth tribe also has distinct classes. They do not rely on financial resources to distinguish, and the standards are very simple.

Whoever's dream power is purer and more 'original' will be head and shoulders above the rest.

Except for the most powerful and mysterious warrior in the tribe, only the prophet has always been able to hold a high position. Other tribesmen cannot come close to him, and few can compare with him.

Although Karina is also a member of the Moth tribe, she has never considered herself to be ordinary, and this is indeed the case. Although her power is not as powerful as the prophet, she is still outstanding among other tribesmen.

What makes her most proud is the pattern on her wings, which no other tribesman, not even the prophet, has.

"I once spied on the king's figure deep in the dream. The patterns on your wings are very similar to the halo behind the king."

This is what the last prophet said to Karina. She firmly believes in it and feels that she must be born with a certain mission. Otherwise, how could this pattern appear on her wings?

And just recently, Karina's idea seemed to have been confirmed.

Although she was very happy about the changes in her texture and strength, she didn't know why. She had been feeling groggy recently and couldn't control her hands and feet. At first, it would only happen once or twice a day, and the duration was short. The impact is almost negligible.

But now she is in that state almost half the day, which makes Karina a little uneasy and a little excited.

She could feel the changes in herself, and that was because her power had become more 'original and pure'.

"Prophet, can you tell anything?"

Karina was sitting in front of the cushions. She was not in a good mental state. Her body was swaying, and she could clearly feel the fatigue and high energy in her eyes.

"Karina, you really don't need to rest? And the wings behind you..."

The prophet frowned. Since Karina had hardly come to see her before, the prophet was first concerned about her physical condition when they met.

"Rest? I feel energetic now!"

Karina deliberately widened her eyes to show that she was not lying, but it only lasted less than five breaths before they drooped again.

What was unusual about her eyes were the wings behind Karina. You must know that in this relaxed state, the wings of the moth clan are usually converged, but her wings were always spread out.

"Well Prophet, you may be right, I may really have to sleep..."

Before she could finish her words, Karina fell down on the cushion, but strangely, her wings were still not folded.

The prophet frowned, stood up and walked to Karina's side, trying to fold her wings back manually, but before she could reach out her hand, a chill arose in her heart for no reason, and then her legs felt numb. Kneel down in control.

It was the awe that came from her blood, which prevented her from having any resistance. The prophet's body began to tremble at this time, and gradually, his forehead also touched the ground.

Contrary to her, 'Karina' sat upright at this time, and her eyes bloomed with an unparalleled orange light.

"The despicable invader actually allowed others to invade this land. His crime is unforgivable!"

An invisible but extremely powerful wave washed out in all directions with Karina as the center, knocking the prophet to the ground.

Radiance is extremely angry now. The people who belong to her were taken away by King Bai while she was sleeping. Now there are outsiders who want to share a piece of the pie with her in the dream world. This is obviously trying to disturb Tai Sui.

She originally wanted to recuperate in this body and wait until the plague exhausted the entire Hallownest before making the next plan, but the scarlet aura that has been spreading recently made her unwilling to let go of even this short leisure time. .

When she thought that the White King who took away his people was a coward who was indifferent to the aggression of others, the anger in her heart became even stronger.

It’s too much to deceive God!

The prophet, who was in severe pain after being thrown to the ground, struggled to stand up and looked up at Karina, who was floating in the air and flapping her wings. Every time she exhaled and inhaled, extremely pure dream energy rippled around. For a moment, I felt extremely horrified.

"king......"

The prophet suppressed the fear flowing in his blood and opened his mouth to 'Karina', but just when she wanted to say something more, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Prophet, are you okay? What happened?"

Concerned voices from other tribesmen came from outside, obviously disturbed by the considerable movement just now.

The prophet looked back at the door and frowned. Before 'Karina' made any response, she would never dare to tell the tribesmen outside about what happened here.

"King, you..."

When the prophet turned back again, her voice stopped suddenly. She quickly looked around, but there was no trace of 'Karina' in the room, leaving only the increasingly thin atmosphere of the dream.

......

Dirtmouth, a corner of the theater company's main tent.

Green was hanging upside down in the air, with gorgeous scarlet rings appearing vaguely around him.

"How's the flame collection place going?"

Green, who was wearing a red robe, was standing under the Nightmare Heart, looking up and listening. A powerful beating sound came from inside it, as if something was being gestated, and it seemed that it would be born soon.

"Master, the flames are too small to meet the collection standards."

Green was not surprised by the news brought by Kindred Nightmare. Compared to the novices and masters of Kindred, the flames that Nightmare wanted to collect would be purer and more intense. It would only surprise him if he really gained something.

Because that means that it is impossible for the White King to reach a deal with himself.

"what about you?"

"Master Captain, we have injected the flame collected from the torch into the heart."

Green nodded, but there was not much joy in his eyes. Looking at the beating frequency of his heart, he knew that the kinship master and novice could not bring back much flame.

Forget it, there is no need to rush this matter. After that person is solved, I believe the situation will be much brighter.

"Go ahead and keep guarding the torch."

"Yes!"
