Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Chapter 381 Do I have to thank him?

When the Void God reacted and turned to look at the Green Troupe, he found that Green was no longer on the back of the weevil.

When did it disappear? !

He looked around but couldn't detect any trace of Green. Then he seemed to remember something and his eyes were fixed on Mo Rong, who was surrounded by shadows and almost invisible to the naked eye.

The flickering golden light on its body seemed to have life, and it was even tinged with blood-red color!

The power of the Nightmare King and the Radiance both came from dreams. In addition, the Void God had never understood what kind of existence the other party and the Radiance were. Now that he saw that they had a connection with Mo Rong, his thoughts naturally deviated elsewhere.

He once thought that the Nightmare King came to lend a helping hand to the Radiance, but he forgot that it was difficult for gods to have friendship and they would only act for the sake of profit.

Poor Mo Rong, the Void Gods from the outside world are watching him covetously, his major worries have not been resolved at all, and the internal troubles are now also very troublesome.

Facing the Radiance's fury, the Nightmare King seemed exceptionally calm, and even had a peaceful smile on his face, as if he was not the one who had joined forces with the White King to encircle and suppress the Radiance.

This made Radiance more and more angry.

"Of course, am I not here in time?"

After the Nightmare King finished speaking, he glanced at Mo Rong vaguely, as if he was not speaking to Radiance.

If he had to say it, Mo Rong felt that what the Nightmare King said was not entirely unreasonable. After all, the Radiance had now broken away from its previous state of decline, which was something he could not do no matter what.

But the problem did not end there, because Radiance had transformed from extreme grief to extreme anger.

God knows if in the latter state, he would be so angry that he would lose his mind and even blow himself, who was trying to persuade him, into pieces with the laser cannon.

"King of Nightmares, what do you want to do?"

Between the Radiance and the Nightmare King, Mo Rong suddenly appeared and spoke.

Although he was afraid, he had to do it. If a war broke out at this time, he didn't know whether the Nightmare King would escape from this place and have an intersection with the Void God, but he would have no way out.

The Nightmare King restrained the smile on his face and glanced at Mo Rong indifferently.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you call me by my name?"

Several fire bats with bloody mouths opened and closed suddenly rushed out from behind him and bit Mo Rong directly.

Faced with the sudden attack, Mo Rong did not retreat at all. Instead, he pulled out the bone nails and faced the attack fearlessly.

Even though this spell looked ordinary, the level of power was not something he could match. The collision between the two ended with him being injured by the fire bat. The Nightmare King remained expressionless, but his eyes became deeper, which made Mo Rong feel uncomfortable.

Neither side spoke, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it became weird.

Just when Mo Rong couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to ask again, the Nightmare King suddenly put on a smile again -

"For Radiance's sake, I forgive you."

"As for what I want to do, you will know it naturally after you survive."

After saying these incomprehensible words, the figure of the Nightmare King gradually faded away. As the heartbeat sound drifted farther and farther away in his ears and the blood cloud faded away, the dream returned to its original state.

"call--"

Seeing that the Nightmare King really disappeared in the dream, Mo Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was relieved a lot.

He thought that the other party was taking this opportunity to kill Radiance, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why the latter was so angry when he saw the other party.

Judging from the conversation just now, the White King must have made some kind of deal with the Nightmare King during the last God War. No wonder the Radiance figure was never seen again after that, and Marcos also fled away.

If it were me, the light cannon would have hit the Nightmare King by now.

Mo Rong muttered a few words, and then became a little confused——

Why didn't the Nightmare King do that? Was he afraid of being affected by the Radiance's counterattack before his death, and letting the Void God take advantage of him?

He turned around, as if he understood something.

Although there was still sadness in Radiance's eyes at this moment, it had been reduced a lot because of the interruption of the Nightmare King. The battlefield on that side also had no destination and seemed to have returned to normal.

So the Nightmare King is here just to restore the Radiance to normal?

Then shouldn't I thank him?

Mo Rong was a little confused, but the Void God outside was very clear-headed.

He saw the flashing light on Mo Rong's body grow brighter again as the scarlet light faded away, and annoyance suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart into his pupils, almost turning into substance and spewing out.

As expected, that guy is Radiance’s ally!!!

The God of Void suddenly became furious, and with his clenched hands, the black pool surrounding the Grimm Troupe, which had been unable to move forward, suddenly surged up, and wave after wave hit the scarlet barrier formed by the Nightmare Lamp. As the light that penetrated the barrier became increasingly scarce, the Grimm Troupe was actually completely enveloped by void matter.

His palm continued to increase its force and contract towards the center, but after a certain point, it was as if there was a hard stone ball in the palm of his hand and he could no longer hold it tightly.

Above the black pool, red spikes appeared like bamboo shoots after spring sprouted out, immediately piercing through the black curtain surrounding the theater troupe.

The Nightmare King slowly stood back on the weevil's back and stared at the angry Void God.

The latter saw that although his face had not changed, his clothes were as red as blood and his aura was hard to suppress, so he guessed that he was no longer the same Green as before.

Or in other words, the 'Green' at this moment is the source of that power.

"Come die!"

No matter who he is, he invaded my territory and dared to blatantly interfere in my affairs. He is looking for death!

The projection in the void suddenly solidified, and with every move he made, there were gusts of wind strong enough to tear apart rocks. Pairs of pupils flashing with fierce light recorded the terror that had existed in the biological genes since the beginning. The next moment, the black arms that were stretched out suddenly fell down and slapped directly towards the Green Theater.

The Nightmare King remained unafraid. A scarlet flying dragon suddenly soared into the sky and collided with the arm.

The moment the two collided, the entire sky of Dirtmouth was dyed blood red, and when the aftermath dissipated, the entire Green Troupe and the Nightmare King disappeared completely, and only the still burning Nightmare Lamp could prove its presence.

"The previous spying has now turned into scrutiny. Let's continue the war that was not completed a hundred years ago..."

"I will gaze in horror."

Hallownest, underground.

In an inconspicuous place, the Nightmare Lamp burst into scarlet flames.
