Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Dageno and Ying appeared without any warning, and suddenly stood under the white curtain at the edge of the kingdom.

At that time, Zemore was still practicing with Bumblebee, and Kunule was sitting beside him. She was the first to discover the two black spots on the edge of the clearing.

And in the time it took her to blink, the two black spots were like madly multiplying cells. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into two figures that appeared in the middle of the training ground, like ink on white paper.

Conspicuous and glaring.

Then she felt a thread wrapped around her body, pulling her forcefully towards the cave.

Delia had never seen Dageno before, but that didn't stop her from sensing his strength. After all, she rarely saw Zemor so nervous.

Her hands were shaking as she held the bone nails. That was the last mistake a knight should make.

"Drea, find a chance to get away, don't force it."

"I will."

She was very clear about the gap between herself and Ying. At this unnecessary moment, she would not give up her reason to fight against an opponent she could hardly defeat.

Of course, Ying couldn't just let her walk back like that, or rush away.

He will use the third method.

Zemor's injuries were not much less serious than Delia's. He also retreated out of the cave, holding the bone nails tightly and watching the two figures walking towards them.

"Brother, what are you doing?!"

After putting Delia on the ground, Ida hurriedly stopped Mo Rong who was walking towards him, his eyes constantly wandering between the two sides.

"Brother, let's go find Minister Lu Ruien first, and then make plans."

"Do you think they will give you that chance?" Mo Rong raised his chin and motioned him to look back again.

This turn around almost frightened him to death.

At some point, Ying was already standing in front of Mo Rong, with only a fist's distance between their eyes.

This distance is either for a fight or...

Ida had no idea when Ying stood behind him. The latter was like a ghost. If Mo Rong had not reminded him, the other party would have easily taken off his head at that moment.

"You leave here first, Ida."

"but......"

"Listen to me..." Mo Rong said sternly, revealing an irresistible majesty: "Idakuiro, get out of here!"

He rarely saw Mo Rong look so serious, even when he was on the execution platform and saw him.

Of course, if Mo Rong heard his inner voice, he would naturally tell him that he was the only one whose life was threatened on the execution platform, but it was different now.

He couldn't guarantee when his evil predecessor would kill his friends.

In his mind, Ida and Quiro were never a choice.

Dageno's gaze did not linger on Ying, who had the same status as himself, both were generals, and he had no power to interfere with his actions. After all, the mission had been completed since they came here.

Next, it’s free time.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he met the gaze of a fiery red figure not far behind Mo Rong.

Dageno seldom showed his emotions on his face, which was the most basic quality of a general, but this moment was different.

He laughed, and his laughter was as heavy as a mountain, pressing on the hearts of every insect looking at him.

Marcos stood still, his body gradually tensed up under his wide robe. The laughter spread all around, but in his ears it all came towards him, as if a hand that had spanned countless time had grasped him in it. His heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

"Marcos! Old friend! Long time no see!"

The three emphasized words seemed to vent something, and Dageno felt unprecedentedly refreshed at this moment.

Under the abyss, there are clear levels of hierarchy. As a being below God and above all insects, there are few insects with whom he can confide. Even if he intentionally tries to get close to his subordinates, or his subordinates try to please him deliberately, he can never find a true friend with whom he can confide.

It's not just about status, it's more about strength.

He believed that Marcos was the same kind of bug as himself, and he had thought how great it would be if the other party was born in the void, but unfortunately... no, it was not a pity at all.

As long as Marcos exists, he can be anywhere, so why emphasize power!

Only he is qualified to be my friend!

He has always been honest with his friends.

Dageno pulled out the bone nail, and his aura suddenly became heavy. The murderous aura that was almost condensed into substance immediately spread out, making the world a little colder. The next moment, his smile and his figure suddenly became blurred, and he actually ran directly in the direction of Marcos!

Marcos' joints cracked as he was pinched, and his eyes turned red as he looked at Dageno's figure.

The void is the enemy, and he never goes against destiny.

He spread his arms, and the cloak behind him looked like a burning flame. Three dream shields flew out from his arms and transformed into three sunflowers that spun beside him. The tip of each petal was sharp and gleamed with cold light, as if it could cut through the air.

When he and Mo Rong returned to the Moth Clan, he took back the remaining Dream Shield. After all, it might not wait for its next owner.

"Come die!"

Marcos roared, his whole body shook, and several light spikes flashed and appeared at his side, with the tips pointing directly at Dageno. At the same time, the Dream Shield began to rotate faster, like a piece of light saw.

Facing a strong enemy like Dageno, he would hardly hold back, because victory or defeat could happen in the instant this thought came to his mind.

The two collided, and the Dream Shield instantly emitted a loud buzzing sound. The light spikes passed through Dageno's body, leaving only some insignificant scratches on his body.

"You've grown weaker, Marcos!"

Dageno's smile became even more ferocious. The black bone nails chopped down, and actually pressed the Dream Shield, which was half a body away from Marcos, to a distance less than a punch from his face.

At this moment, Marcos could clearly feel the sharp wind generated by the rotation of the Dream Shield blowing across his cheek.

Waves of pain.

"Without further ado!!"

Marcos' veins bulged, he roared from between his teeth, and pushed the Dream Shield back.

Dageno looked at this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly, and anger gradually appeared in the depths of his eyes.

No, it shouldn't be like this. How long has it been since you showed this expression? !

This is not your strength!

"How dare you hide your weakness in a fight with me?!"

The black bone nails suddenly became illusory and pierced through the Dream Shield and slashed towards Marcos below. The latter's reaction was also not slow. The moment he saw the change, he dispersed into light particles and appeared in another place.

His light could no longer resist the shadow.
