A Knight Who Eternally Regresses - Chapter 406



Only Krnovel

406. The troops danced

Christ decided that reinforcements needed to be sent, but he also didn’t think that they needed to be large-scale.

‘Is it because of a lack of supply?’

No, it won’t be.

The royal army wouldn’t rush in without that much preparation.

So, can we light a signal of reversal with just the number of soldiers?

I don’t know.

It’s hard to predict. Count Molsen’s numbers haven’t been read.

It was natural.

Count Molsen had prepared something that mixed magic and sorcery, and was in the process of drawing a bloody picture over the battlefield.

Still, Christ predicted that his opponent would pull out something unexpected.

The head that we imagine as the most ominous one has shone through once again.

In that case, it was natural to send the fastest and strongest force as reinforcements.

It was the few who possessed extraordinary military powers that turned the tide of the battlefield.

Audin, Sinar, and Teresa.

Christ gave each of them two strong, fast horses.

That’s why Audin and Sinar were here.

* * *

Encrid took a step back. It was because Audyn had gently grabbed his shoulder and pulled him. There was no reason to resist.

“Come on, take a look. I took a look earlier too.”

Rem said as he saw Audyn step forward. Then he crossed the weapons he was holding in both hands and struck the ground.

In his right hand he held the long-handled axe he usually used, and in his left he held a hammer with a shorter handle that he had picked up somewhere.

Encred knew that Rem was not picky with weapons, so it was safe to assume that Rem was also in perfect condition.

“Can I just cut that?”

This is what Ragnar said as he dragged the tip of his sword on the floor.

The teeth on the sword were all gone, no matter what they did. It could be called a saw-edged sword.

Still, it is threatening and scary because it is held in Ragnar’s hands. It would be threatening even if a wooden sword was held in his hand.

Today was especially so.

His determination to cut down anything that tried to stop him was clearly felt.

Audin, who had pulled Encrid back, smiled broadly and said.

“Father, there are people here who will rebuke you.”

A direct translation would be, “I’ll kill you and send you away soon.”

Audin’s two fists were the perfect tools to send those standing before him to the Lord’s side.

He wore leather gauntlets on both hands, which looked like they had been sewn by someone, stitch by stitch. The finish was solid and they looked sturdy.

The material also appeared to be leather. Encred had seen it correctly.

To be exact, it was an item made from centaur hide.

It took time to tan and process it, but it was actually quite tough and durable.

It was something that was made at Christ’s order and then carefully packed and sent.

Encred asked, feeling a strange curiosity.

“Leather gauntlets? Who made them?”

“There’s a great tailor in the unit. I don’t know his name, but his sewing skills are top-notch. He used to be a squad leader, but he’s now a supply officer. Brother.”

There was someone who suddenly came to mind.

“Is your nose red? You really like drinking.”

“How did you know?”

The tension between the five monsters and this group was still evident, but Encrid spoke and Audin answered.

It seemed as if the two were saying that it was okay to do that.

Of course, Audin’s gaze did not leave the front. To be exact, it remained fixed on the largest monster among the five.

“Because I owe you something.”

This is the friend who made me leather leggings and gauntlets when I repeated the first day. It seems like his skills have improved a lot since then.

You said you worked as a supply officer within the Border Guard, so I guess your sewing skills were recognized.

I heard that Chrys was involved in the supply business. So, he wouldn’t be using a sloppy job, and this could be proof that he had excellent sewing skills.

“Fiancee, who has been harassing you? Point out who it is.”

Next to Audyn. Sinar’s fairy-like jokes were still the same. He had a cold and intellectual appearance and a flat tone of speech, but the content contained within was infinitely light.

“The guy who tormented me is already gone.”

Encrid spoke and pointed his finger to the sky.

“You sent it to the Lord. You did well.”

I wondered if there was another priest-like person who praised the killing of a person other than Audin.

Just because you believe in the god of war doesn’t mean you’ll all do that.

Sinar said, still with a smileless face, as he drew his sword.

“There is one bastard who is defiling the fairy’s blood.”

That was right.

One of the five was a fairy.

Rem was secretly surprised. It was the friend he had just met. He ran away busily even after his body was cut up.

I didn’t know I would live like that. Even if I did live, I didn’t know I would be standing still like this.

I clearly saw myself getting my torso cleaved nicely with an axe, spilling out my entrails, but I was still standing there.

Although dark red blood was seeping out between the crudely stitched marks, it was surprising that it was still alive and moving around.

Because I thought for sure I killed him.

Sinar stepped forward holding the Leaf Sword.

As it turned out, Rem, Ragnar, Audin, and Sinar ended up blocking Encred’s path.

Only Saxony was still standing in the same spot… … but had already disappeared. It was said that he had hidden himself.

That’s the moment you realize it.

Saxon appeared beside the Count. The skewer-shaped rapier flew straight toward the Count’s head.

It was a blow that no one expected. The tip of the sword pierced the Count’s head, but Saxon did not achieve what he had intended.

Thud!

Because the sword Saxon was holding bounced off as if it had been hit by a lump of iron.

Saxon was astonished. It was an incredible force that struck human skin.

But since staying still would be tantamount to praying to be killed, Saxon leapt backwards as soon as he was stabbed.

A black rake appeared and swept over the spot where he had been.

I had a feeling that if I got scratched, it wouldn’t be a good thing. The black rake was something magical, full of ominousness.

Saxon knew that it wasn’t some defensive spell that stopped his sword.

In the first place, I checked with my senses whether the order was placed or not and then aimed for it.

That is, the skin is purely firm.

“Did you transplant a demon into your body too?”

Saxony relayed the information to everyone through questions.

It was said that the Count’s skin was very tough and like that of a monster.

“A mayfly.”

The count spoke repeatedly and waved his hand. The black rake continued to tease Saxon.

Saxon disappeared from sight and reappeared five steps away, but the rake continued to chase him.

At the same time, those who were not related by blood but could be called brothers and sisters of Lebart rushed forward.

The leader was a fairy that Rem had half-killed.

“Eeeeeeeeeee!”

She scratched her head and started running. Instead of running straight ahead, she ran in a semicircle, as if going around. Even though she was running sideways, she was still frighteningly fast.

In Encred’s eyes, he seemed faster than Learbart.

Actually, that was correct.

If Lebart had just charged forward without considering the front or back, using only his physical abilities, he would have been able to recreate the fairy’s appearance just now.

But he didn’t do that.

His desire as a human being and his honor as a knight were his last shackles.

He wanted to become a real knight.

That’s why I didn’t fight like an animal.

What would have happened if he had just used his physical abilities and charged in?

The answer was here.

The enemy disappeared from sight literally without blinking an eye.

Just as I thought I missed it, my right cheek stung. Something flew through the wind. It was a fatal blow that took advantage of the speed.

Encrid noticed, but didn’t need to react directly.

There was a fairy who had been muttering something for a while.

Encred also heard what his opponent had said before he ran.

“A forest clan that has lost its pride.”

This is a sword that is not a joke, but a sword that is serious. A leaf sword blocked another leaf sword.

earth!

The two swords met, and a green light flashed.

The opponent stepped back in shock, and Shinar was pushed back two steps. The two faced each other for a moment, keeping their distance.

They were similarly shaped swords. However, one had the unique shape of the Leaf Sword, while the other had the shape of blood vessels protruding from the back of the hand and wrapping around the blade.

“I guess I can’t even call you my kind.”

Sinar scolded his opponent, and the opponent fairy opened her mouth to answer, as if she had completely lost her wits.

“What are you saying, bitch?”

Well, it wasn’t a pleasant thing to hear. Shinar smiled faintly at those words. It was a smile that made you think it was cold even when you were looking at it.

“How dare you say something like that in front of your fiancée.”

With those words, Sinar raised his Leaf Sword.

He spoke as if scolding his opponent, but even with just one sword strike, he could feel the difference. The strength and speed were different, and the physical strength was different.

But that doesn’t mean I thought the other person was a knight.

He was just a monster who went crazy trying to match it.

I have seen the fairy knight Sinar.

They are beings who should be respected and deserve to be respected.

It’s not like you can become a knight just by changing your body.

That is why it must be done. The ignorant and foolish fairy soul must be freed.

“I will speak to the forest and the flowers.”

Shinar spoke and picked up his sword. It was a strange thing. Even though it was the same leaf sword, it seemed as if the sword was emitting the scent of grass.

“It is spring, spring is the season that is more vibrant than any other.”

Sinar continued to recite.

Her secret was to be realized by absorbing the spirit of the forest.

It’s the same as when I gave Encrid pleasure through a duel the other day.

He confused his opponents by attacking with several clones. He could also use his energy to inflict physical damage.

Of course, that wasn’t the only possibility.

That’s just a trick.

She called upon the spirit that had gathered the energy of the forest and heard its answer.

Sinar put his energy into my body.

It was a secret art of the fairies, but now it is a forgotten art because no one can do it.

She accepted the energy into her body and in an instant, she stepped into a world similar to her opponent’s.

The sword of the mutated fairy tribe flies in. The blade of the old ones, called the Leaf Sword because it resembles a leaf, approaches right in front of our noses.

Sinar drank all the energy he had accumulated for this, so he swung his sword at a similar speed to his opponent.

Boom!

He didn’t stop at just striking. He deflected the sword that was slamming down from above by twisting it upward.

Her sword was dyed a soft green.

The ages of the Leaf Sword change due to the technology called ‘season’.

It was the black spring she was holding now.

The ages of spring were more vibrant and energetic than ever. The shape did not change, but the power contained in the sword changed.

After that, Sinar’s movements resembled a dance. If you take away the process of striking, cutting, stabbing, and breaking, it was just a dance.

He struck down the fairy chimera, who was trying to catch up with the knight by smashing and striking his opponent’s sword one by one.

* * *

Audyn opened his mouth as he watched the fight that Sinar had started.

“Since I’m late, I’ll take care of both of them as punishment.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the escorts also moved.

Just like the mutated fairy, he started running, and the others were also faster than Lebart.

Of course, it wasn’t a problem for Audin and the two people standing on either side.

Listening to Audin’s words, Ragnar stretched out his sword.

‘Faster and stronger.’

What you can do for it.

It’s Will. An intangible power is embedded in the arm. Put Will on the will to cut and mix it with the limbs. Recognize and intend how Will moves.

This was the answer Ragnar found.

He did so.

It was a force that would dissipate in just two breaths, but that was enough.

Ragnar manifested the knight’s sword in an instant.

To be exact, it was the sword that the Azpen knight had shown.

It was just fast and sharp.

Ragnar did the same.

He took a half step forward with his left foot, pulled the line as short as possible, and added rotation from his ankle to his waist to apply the power of the middle sword. It was a preparatory movement.

Compared to the guy who was rushing at him, Ragna was noticeably slow in his movements, from raising his sword to changing his stance.

If you looked from the outside, it would look like it was pierced by nails and a part of its heart or internal organs would come out and knock on the gates of heaven.

If only we had the kinetic vision to see this.

Ragna’s sword became faster for a moment.

The sword drew a line much faster than the opponent ran.

The tower, made through a false process, collapsed helplessly in the face of an unrecognizable speed and force.

Hook, snap!

It really happened in an instant.

It rushed in, split into two pieces, and fell to the left and right.

Rem, who was just beating his opponent with an axe and hammer, also saw it.

‘That crazy kid.’

Isn’t it even crazier than before?

I tried to deal with one of the guys who rushed at me, and it was a truly formidable monster.

Rem didn’t worry.

He took out the things he had saved while catching the madman of inferno.

In the West, in Rem’s homeland, there was no word for Will. There was no such concept at all.

However, there is a way to refine your mind and move forward.

What you have to get through that is called witchcraft.

For Rem’s clan, sorcery is one of the weapons that must be possessed to become a warrior.

The descending weapon is also derived from there.

“Look straight ahead. It’s new.”

Rem spoke to Ragnar and split one of the totem pieces with only the index finger and thumb of the hand holding the hammer.

The totem was a small doll the size of two fingers. The effect was simple.

Causes the spell lightning to take hold in the caster’s body.

Then, Rem took out another talisman without holding back, crumpled it up, and put it in her mouth.

The effect of this amulet is the bear’s arm.

There were two spells that changed the strength of the arms, legs, and limbs.

It is not originally his own sorcery, nor was it something he created by wishing for it, but it is a trick that allows him to use sorcery for a short time.

The trick made Rem’s body faster than before and added strength to his muscles.

Rem’s opponent charged at him, wielding a thick sword in both hands.

This guy kept dodging Rem’s attacks and rushing at her as if he could just avoid them no matter what he did.

Rem’s axe, which had been in a hurry to block like Encred did when he was fighting Lebart, moved at an angle that had never been seen before.

It shot up from below and then fell like lightning.

bang!

The opponent blocked it, but was pushed back. The shock that went through his entire body was added to the body of the guy who was rushing at him, so he was naturally pushed back.

Even if you were to use regular sorcery, it would be difficult to show this kind of power. This was only possible because it was Rem.

He had a natural talent for using magic rather than manipulating the body.

I was better at using it on my body and utilizing it.

That was the result.

The axe, which had been swinging as if ready to strike and messing with the opponent’s hand, eventually extended out and split the chimera’s head.

Bam!

The tough, hard skull was split lengthwise.

The eyes and other contents inside the split head, centered around the monster’s blood, bones, and skin, fell out with a thud.

Rem thought, his arms hanging down.

I think this will have some aftereffects.

It couldn’t be helped since it was the price for borrowing someone else’s magic.

His gaze turned to the two who remained at the end.

On the surface, it seemed as if Audin was barely holding on, but of course, no one intervened.

Since he said he would take care of both of them, shouldn’t he take responsibility?

Rem thought of Audin as an unlucky fanatic, but he also thought of him as a man who kept his word.
