A Knight Who Eternally Regresses - Chapter 407



Only Krnovel

407. Watch me. This is my friend.

Audin thought that in his current state, he couldn’t handle his opponent at speed. He could tell just by looking at them rushing towards him.

Although others may not know, Encred and some others knew that Audin had great insight and fought with his head on his shoulders.

On the surface, it seems like anything can be solved with force, but that’s not the case.

‘It’s too fast.’

If he had endured the pain and raised his divinity, he could have caught it, but there was no need for Audin to do so.

Audin calculated and moved. In some ways, it was the closest fighting style to the Jeonggeomsik.

There are two attackers. One is holding a trident, the other a long spear.

They both kept their distance and stabbed Audyn. They kept stabbing and pulling away to the point where it was annoying.

The blade, faster than a bee’s sting, stabbed and tore at Audin’s skin.

Audin made up for his lack of speed by minimizing his movement line. He strengthened his defense by striking the spear blade with the back of his hand.

Parallel.

The cloak that roughly covered his body fluttered around as he moved. It was difficult to expect any defensive power from a cloak that was close to a giant.

It tore and shattered with every passing stroke of the blade.

Audin held on and held on for a moment, then bent his waist and leaped forward. For a moment, his body seemed to be stretching, so fast. If he had focused all his energy on the charge, he could catch up with his opponent’s speed for a moment.

“Hot!”

The man holding the trident shouted.

Because I was hunched over so much, the blade of the spear grazed my back.

Because it was a stab based on immense power, even with just a passing touch, the cloak wrapped around him like a giant was split in half and his skin was scratched.

But blood does not flow. Audyn’s skin was similar to iron armor. It was different from the skin of a normal person.

Audin rushed forward and hugged his opponent’s knees. Even though his opponent’s body was more agile, his strength would not be affected.

And the flower of martial arts was in close combat.

As Audin lifted his opponent by hugging his knees, the trident-wielding man’s feet lifted from the ground.

“what!”

Samjichang cried out in surprise. His captured legs were stuck between large rocks, and he couldn’t move at all.

I instinctively tried to push it away, but it was useless. I couldn’t help but be surprised when my body was lifted.

Jangchang, who saw that, quickly stabbed his spear in. Audin slightly turned his body while feeling the air waves to read the direction of the spear blade.

Pick!

The blade curved sideways along the body.

The body is shedding.

It was Audin who taught Encred this skill. It was only natural that he would show greater skill.

His body moved like a soft ball of cotton, disproportionate to his size.

The blade struck his back, but just passed by.

Until then, the man whose knees were caught by Audin’s hand was still lifted up.

The man whose body was lifted put down the spear and stretched out both hands.

The claws that had grown out before he knew it were going to dig into his forearm, but Audin ignored them and pinned the creature to the ground.

Boom! Crunch.

Of course, it didn’t end with just a slam.

He fell forward, holding both legs while holding the mat, and put his legs behind his opponent’s head.

After folding the enemy’s waist in half, he stepped on his opponent’s shoulder with his right foot and pulled out his spine.

Wood thud thud.

The red-painted bones met the air. Blood burst out with incredible force.

The opponent’s claws touched Audyn’s shoulder and nothing happened. Everything happened in an instant.

As we dealt with that guy, the guy who was swinging the spear flinched.

Even though I had lost half my mind, I still wondered what this was.

“monster?”

Audin smiled at the words coming out of the monster’s mouth.

“The Lord is waiting, Brother Demon.”

The fight that followed was no different than before. The monster, which even two people could not handle, closed the distance while swinging its spear blades.

Even Audin’s iron skin would sometimes bleed and spatter with blood.

Because the opponent’s strength was also considerable.

Still, the distance narrowed.

The opponent caught by Audin’s hand had his arm torn off and his back broken.

At the end, he even showed off an outrageous feat of pulling out part of his cervical vertebrae with his fingers.

Encred almost clapped his hands.

Was the opponent’s force overwhelming?

Yes, that’s right.

And yet, this is the result.

At first glance, he looks like a chimera human who resembles a knight.

‘But it’s not a knight.’

Until then, the count, sitting on the strangely dark and black chair, had not moved.

Saxon had already come up behind Encred. He was breathing lightly.

“He is a troublesome orderer.”

After hearing Saxon’s evaluation, it was clear that he was a formidable guy.

Encred looked at Count Molsen.

The count’s gaze, with its veins on his forehead, was seething with murderous intent to the point where the word murderous was inadequate.

“I should have killed you a long time ago.”

The count was truly sorry. He had not expected that he would be blocked like this.

It makes me so angry that this has happened without even being reported.

That doesn’t mean he was a failure.

Moreover, wasn’t the reason for trying to keep him alive clear?

I will plant these ghosts and make them my subjects.

If you can’t be subordinate to me as a human, then just let them remain in a non-human form.

“I can’t sleep soundly without killing them all.”

“I will fold both your legs and let you sleep in the coffin.”

Encred skillfully received the count’s words.

The childish joke that he would not die himself but would make the opponent fold both of his feet came out at an appropriate time.

Needless to say, those words further irritated the Count.

I don’t know about anything else, but I thought that kid’s tongue was comparable to a knight’s sword.

Of course, even the sword in his hand has become threatening now.

“Okay, talk as loud as you want. I’ll tear you to pieces and burn you to death, but you’ll still be alive and watching your body get torn and burned!”

I will take the remaining souls and make them neither live nor die.

In the Count’s words, ‘I will do it,’ two voices sounded as if they were overlapping.

That made Encred’s head ache.

Ironically, Encred felt his vision broaden as he listened to the Count’s curse.

So, that was the feeling I got when I was trapped in Abnayer’s hands and couldn’t escape.

It is a battlefield that is viewed through intuition rather than strategy and tactics.

The realm of intuition and sixth sense expands to find ways to achieve what you want.

It was a realm of instinct, not reason.

It was also a natural realization that came to me because of what Esther had said.

‘I guess it’ll end if I kill that thing.’

I have a gut feeling that the war will end only when the Count dies.

It’s time to reflect on your own intuition.

“Are you going to leave that there?”

Rem asked. Encred stared at his barbarian subordinate.

After that, Ragnar, Audin, and Saxony also came into view.

They all seemed a little tired, but they didn’t show it on the outside.

Audyn laughed as he cracked his finger bone, as if one of his fingers had been broken.

“Brother, I will add my prayers on your way.”

It was a call to fight together.

Encred glanced around the net and then turned his head towards the Count.

It was as if he had stated his purpose with his eyes.

“together?”

The four naturally nodded to the short question.

Rem steps away, Ragnar follows, Saxon stands quietly beside him. Audin moves furthest back, as if embracing everyone.

“I thought he was a fucking bastard. From the start.”

Rem muttered.

“I agree. That one needs to be killed.”

Saxony answered.

“There is no need to find a shortcut.”

Ragnar said, looking at the Count who was clearly visible.

“My Lord and Father, I will send up here one more soul with a poor heart.”

Audyn prayed.

Encred walked in front of the four.

Sinar didn’t get involved in their midst. To be honest, he didn’t think he would be of any help now.

I just killed a mutated fairy, but the enemy’s sword split my thigh, making it difficult to run properly.

No matter how much he drank the spirit of spring and fought, he was not an easy opponent.

I took out a bandage and wrapped it tightly around my thigh. Even if it didn’t help, it couldn’t be a hindrance.

Dunbakel and Teresa didn’t dare to interfere.

Encred also told them to go to the rear in the middle.

It may have sounded like an excuse not to be there, but the order was followed faithfully.

While Dunbakel and Teresa retreated to the rear, Encred and his party continued to advance steadily.

In reality, Rem, Ragnar, Audin, and Saxon were not in good health.

Of these, Saxony was the most intact, but his specialty was not frontal assaults.

If we only look at swordsmanship, it can be said that Encred now has the upper hand.

Still, five went forward.

Do what needs to be done.

Encrid lived like that every day.

So, I decided to walk like that to put an end to the civil war.

Krang and Marcus, who joined late, also saw it.

“I think that one chance friend will be more likely to place the crown on my head than all the preparations, hard work, and worry that I have put into months of thinking.”

Krang said with a smile. He didn’t seem to have any worries.

Marcus was amazed that Krang was smiling so brightly in this situation.

“Are you laughing?”

The allies, or rather Encred, showed overwhelming force, but Count Molsen remained the same.

It was a dark and gloomy thing that emanated something without moving at all.

In the battlefield, it seemed as if death was sitting on the throne in the palace.

I would have believed it if you told me that the name of that chair was actually Death.

Asia also led her knights toward the place where Encred and his company were visible.

Squire Lawford, who was under his command, saw Encred and his party and spoke hastily.

“I will help you!”

Before he knew it, he respected and followed the man named Encred more than any knight.

Who can fight like that and come out like that?

Lawford tried to run out at any moment, but his orange-haired superior stopped him.

“Don’t mess with me.”

“yes?”

“I stopped the entire battlefield and came out so that I wouldn’t kill someone like you. Just watch carefully and see how I fight.”

Even Asia was dissatisfied.

‘You didn’t even ask me to go with you?’

He is a knight. He fights well. Of course, he lost to Encred, but those guarding him right now have fought fiercely. There must be no way they won’t get injured.

Wouldn’t it be right to take a relatively healthy version of yourself?

“This is annoying.”

A sudden urge to fit in with them arose.

Even though he is a member of the Knights of the Red Cloak, a group that is incomparable to any other group within Naurilia.

Right now, I wanted to stand by Encred’s side.

I wanted to do it no matter what the price was.

So what he said to Roford was the same as what he said to Asia herself.

The shepherd of the wilderness also slowly withdrew from the battlefield that had suddenly stopped, but Pel, unable to contain his curiosity, approached under the pretext of escorting Krang.

‘uh?’

It was a familiar face.

‘That moonlit night.’

Isn’t that the crazy bastard who kept asking for more cuts even after being cut by an idol killer?

I thought to myself that this wasn’t an ordinary bet.

‘Was it that much?’

The back is visible. It is involved in everything that happened on the battlefield right now, and it is the back that stops fighting and moves on.

‘Is it mandatory?’

Must fight and protect?

While thinking about that, Krang spoke with shining eyes.

“Watch me. This is my friend.”

He’s a friend. So he’s not bound by royal duties. But he still steps forward.

For what.

I heard a declaration that they would end the war. So, that’s what they did.

It is a behavior that is not very appealing to a shepherd who moves for profit and gain.

“Pel. To lead a group, you must not see the world only in terms of gains and losses.”

His father’s teachings came to mind. Pel had a small epiphany.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice for your ideals.

At the same time, I decided.

I decided to leave the herd for a while.

It wasn’t just because of the elders who just kept nagging.

‘There will be a lot to learn.’

Pel is lost in thought, and Krang laughs, telling no one to come forward.

Only Marcus was fooled.

He knew it too. He couldn’t stop Encred now. But he still wanted to use a lethal method. He wanted to shoot an arrow at the Count’s head right now, even if it meant being cursed at for the rest of his life.

Of course it won’t work.

I couldn’t help but feel like doing that.

I want to stop Encrid from going into the arms of that dangerous puppy.

Then, I caught sight of the smiling Krang and asked.

“It’s just so amazing that it makes me laugh.”

“Commander Marcus. If not now, then when will we laugh? If Enki dies, we will all die anyway.”

“… …There is a last resort.”

“I won’t take it out.”

“Why?”

“It is not a crown that should be worn while killing one’s friends.”

Krang was still the same. He was him. Marcus found it frustrating, but that was also why he served the interest.

Only then was Marcus able to relax.

If you decide to bet everything on Encred, that’s it.

“then.”

Marcus was also disappointed, but he laughed.

* * *

The count wasn’t looking at the approaching men.

His eyes were turned to the rear of the battlefield. The special force that had been sent to kill that damn witch was just closing in on the rear.

‘Fucking bitch.’

The count was inwardly cursing Esther a hundred times over.
