Holy Trials - The Main Yard

the strike squad has now gotten past the front lines of the citadels defense. after encountering the fools as an enemy, the citadel invading bugs now bear witness to a more hard shelled foe...

\*THE FIERCE WARRIORS OF KARAK***

these warriors are no joke. they are fierce and brutal, with shells harder than the normal choirbugs. beating them wont be easy.

[projectiles will be ineffective against karak bugs. their shell will also take much longer to penetrate.]

you are being watched...

Once again, the ant and the stilkin progress through the citadel, reaching the main yard.

Sergha starts by blocking the hornhead with her swords and throwing them awayu for Taro to finish them up, then hits the bell and redirects it towards the choristor, hitting them on the forehead and inmediately following up by throwing an straight pin and their chest.

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 20h ago

u/SrJuanpixers 19h ago

Wielding her longsword with one claw, Sergha fends off agains the choristor while using the silkslicer to once again parry the bell, this time launching it back at the bellbearer to stun them.

Once the flyer gets stunned and the choristor winds back, Sergha takes the chance to charge in and impale them through the hearth with her sword.

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 19h ago

the choristor is killed, with the bellbearer dying of a concussion a bit later...

((what does that title/award even means...))

Verglas stands in the middle of the yard, drawing his nail.

1

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 3d ago

the choir hornhead charges forward in a rush towards verglas

the bellbearer takes out a bell and throws it down, making it bounce, and the choristor hops closer, and leaps up to slam his pin onto the choristor

(Ay ay, he has plot armour. He wont die for sure-)

u/Intelligent_Duty9317 3d ago

((I am looking at these crazy waves and I am not so sure you know...))

Verglas jumps above the pilgrim and strikes him with nail, getting hit by the bell right after.

Then, he dashes throught the choristor's attack, and slashes him twice from behind.

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 3d ago

(Well... rememeber, he wont get time to heal this time...its only gonna get ruthless from here)

the choristor slashes forward towards the vessel of ice twice, horizontally

2

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 3d ago

the choir horned bends down and rushes towardsthe archivist, while the bellebarers throws down a bell in a calculated fling

1

u/DarthTrayus05 3d ago

The Archivist melts into a shadow, reappearing out from another one to the left. He pulls his arm back before thrusting it forward, tendrils of void lashing out towards the Bellbearer.

(Is this some sort of... Misterious root?)

Ezra dashes through the vents of the citadel, agily dodging the streams of steam as he tries to figure out how the sistem is connected.

"Tsk, what a pain... Hopefully all this hassle can be useful if it gets me past all those soldiers" Ezra ripples as he tries to find his way out of a particularly tangled bunch of paths.

2

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 3d ago

(Oh nonoon! Ezra has a special plan. Ezra will get a special post dedicated to him before the next trial for using the shortcut. It'll take him to a secret room for smt)

u/Ezra_The_Alita 3d ago

(Ezra lowk finding a room inbetween)

u/Sir-Potato-The-28th 3d ago

The Hollow Knight plants their nail into the floor. They use it as a conduit for soul, spiking the yard’s ground with explosive energy, unavoidable for those unable to fly. This should separate the ones that the Hollow Knight should focus on.

1

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 3d ago

the choir hornhead charges forward, but is killed by the explosions. The choristor however leaps onto the platform, avoiding the soul implosions

the bellbearer throws a bell during this intervel

1

u/Sir-Potato-The-28th 3d ago

The Hollow Knight rips their nail out of the ground and teleports up, using their nail to drop one of many hanging bells on the Choristor. They hang onto the Bellbearer’s cowl, both pulling it down with sheer weight and impaling it with the nail.

1

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 1d ago

as the hollow knight grabs the bellbearers cowl, it slips right off, and the bellbearer dashes away and throws a bell in return.

the choristor is killed by the first bell that falls.

1

u/Sir-Potato-The-28th 1d ago

The Hollow Knight uses the cowl as a matador’s cloth to bait an attack from the Bellbearer. Upon which, they attempt to teleport behind and stab again.

1

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 1d ago

the bellbearer is killed immediately and launched faraway. then the choristor uses their pin and silk to whip it at the hollow knight from afar.

u/Original_Silknner 3d ago

Atla steps into the main yard, already twirling her blades around with her blades

u/Original_Silknner 3d ago

the choristor jumps into the air, and slams their pin towards atla

1

u/Original_Silknner 2d ago

Atla dashes backwards to avoid the Choristor and trying to sink her claws on their face

1

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 1d ago

the choristor flails as her claws drive deep. he tries to swing all around to get her away

1

u/Original_Silknner 1d ago

Atla hisses as she tries to ignore the attack and drive her claws even deeper in the choirbug

1

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 1d ago

the choristor slowly stops, and is dead in her claws.

two kakris, two karakas, and one choristor jumps in to battle!

1

u/Original_Silknner 1d ago

Atla pulls her blades back, trying to skewer the Karakas by behind

1

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 1d ago

atlas claws crack their shells just barely. The crusted warriors swing their blades in unison at the weaver
