Eternally Regressing Knight Chapter 576

576

Audyn heard Encrid swing his sword through the air.

That statement could be called a truly unhesitating stab. In terms of swordsmanship, that’s what it was.

After finishing speaking, Encred swung his sword in the air several times.

I guess he’s doing that to check his body because his body hasn’t been moving as he should since the middle of the battle a little while ago.

It was something that Audin himself taught.

No matter what happens, make sure my body is moving properly.

I said that fighting without even knowing the condition of my body was stupid.

It was taken for granted that he would always be in top condition.

So, he said that you should eat well, sleep well, poop well, and focus on training, but you should also clearly know your body’s limits.

Encrid has done so so far.

‘You are my disciple.’

Audyn spoke to himself and raised his head. Now it was his turn to speak.

He said that he would return to the church and be punished, and that he would give his life in return.

So stop fighting now.

Let go of the child called the saint. Can’t you do that?

He said he would do it all for him.

‘I will dedicate the rest of my life to you.’

Audin raised his head, muttering to himself. He saw the paladin radiating holy light in his eyes.

He is a man who stands in the position he originally wanted to be.

I can see his divinity. His light is pure white. It is not that of a fallen being.

In any case, the divinity of a fallen priest is bound to have its light dimmed when God looks down on him.

That’s also the reason why there are many priests who can’t use actual divinity.

So, a rags saint was born.

There was an author who had that nickname because he healed people while wearing rags.

A true saint who wanders the continent while worshipping a god in the temple of his heart.

He is called a forsaken saint in the church.

Audyn wanted to meet the rag-faced saint, someone he knew personally.

He became a skilled person who managed to hide his identity even when pursued by the religious community.

It was just a random thought. It was just a thought that came to mind while I was looking back on my past life.

While he was making up his mind, Overdeer asked back.

“Who said that?”

“They say you know but pretend not to know.”

Encred answered calmly. He had stopped swinging his sword and was now lifting one ankle and spinning it around.

He still has no intention of giving up. You could tell just by looking at his attitude.

“Can you prove that?”

Overdeer asked. It was a reserved honorific. It sounded awkward. It felt like the tone was deliberately fixed.

“Um, maybe?”

Encred tilted his head.

“Are you insulting the church based on speculation?”

With his speech still somewhat ticked, Overdeer stopped talking and raised his finger. He pointed at Audin while holding the stick and asked.

“Tell me, Alma the Templar, is the author a heretic?”

Alma noticed and then tapped Bert. Inquisitor Bert spoke on Alma’s behalf.

“Prophet Overdeer, sir, the author’s name is Audyn Fumrey, and I know that he is guilty of causing the death of a man like my father and of neglecting his duty as an inquisitor. It is said that he was once noted for his great talent and loved by the gods, but he even betrayed the priest who raised him.”

“Why haven’t you caught it yet?”

“It was only recently that his activities were noticed. He appeared in the capital of the Kingdom of Naurilia, and it is said that there is a priest there who knows the face of the heretic.”

Bert spoke desperately, stringing together words.

At first glance, the job of an inquisitor may seem like one of chasing and beating people to death, but if you look inside, you can see that their main job is to create logic.

No matter how powerful a religious group may be, it cannot ignore the attention of others when it comes to condemning and punishing heresy.

Of course, only after it has been acknowledged by the majority can it be burned or locked up.

Of course, this doesn’t apply to those without power.

A crooked priest once saw Audin’s talent and divinity and drove him to that position.

A place where the powerless are persecuted and killed.

Of course, the Archbishop hated him a lot because he killed the Bishop’s child.

Eventually, Audin couldn’t stand it anymore and left the church.

That was the truth, but no one here could argue with it.

“Is that so?”

That was the end. Overdeer took up his staff again. Encred also took up his sword.

Despite the conversation, their fight did not end.

Whoosh, as soon as it moved, the stick stretched out like a line made of light.

A flash of white light split the purple sunset, and a blue blade appeared in front of it to meet it.

Land, tata dadadang!

It was a fight between knight and knight. The shockwave that erupted at the point where the sword and staff met pierced the air.

It seemed as if an invisible wave of force was spreading around, pushing away the wind and even the light.

Sparks flew between the two and blood flowed.

Crackling.

Encred had just felt that his eyes and senses had responded and that his insight had seen, but his arms were not moving as he would have them.

No, I moved as I wanted, but I was a little late. That’s why my earlobe burst a little.

I ignored the wound because it was not a reason to back down just because my earlobe was a little ruptured. Then I raised my sword again and adjusted my stance.

If your muscles, ligaments, or tendons are creaking and you are reacting slower than your opponent, why don’t you just minimize the movement?

That’s what I did.

Web of Aker, Rem, Ragnar, Saxon, Audin, etc.

I took what I learned from everyone and shortened the route and simplified the movements.

In the meantime, he had been repeatedly activating the Will of Rejection and pushing away the divinity that had entered his body.

However, it doesn’t happen right away; it just takes time.

Meanwhile, Overdeer’s rod was stabbed, stabbed, and swung without rest.

With him, Encrid had countless visions.

So now, the fantasy that will happen soon.

It was Overdeer’s specialty. He used the Willow he created from divinity to plant images in the opponent’s mind.

It’s like letting only one person see my will.

The scary thing here is that the insight that the opponent has is what aids Overdeer’s technique.

Encrid, in particular, had good eyesight.

The insights I had gained through Aker’s web now seemed like chains.

Even now, such a future seems to be in sight.

There was a scene where I got hit in the thigh between Overdeer’s stick and my sword.

And that scene became reality.

Land! Thud!

Overdeer kicked Encred’s thigh with his sword. His body’s center line was not disturbed, and his extended foot did not carry much weight, but it was fast.

Encrid was hit and couldn’t avoid it.

If this phenomenon repeats itself, you will usually quickly become desperate.

It will feel like the direction of every fight is being driven solely by Overdeer’s intentions.

That is why he was called a prophet.

But Encrid didn’t do that.

If we were going to talk about despair and giving up to this extent, we would have been locked up long ago and enjoyed the eternal life in which the boatman sang.

An eternal life that is given for just one day.

“hmm.”

A sharp pain shot up from the area where I was hit.

Although it didn’t carry any weight, it had enough power to allow divinity to penetrate.

Still, Encrid did not back down.

“under!”

Instead, he burst out in anger. He swung down his sword with his condensed will.

He twisted his ankle and added speed to the blade. The blade that was swinging down accelerated more from the middle. It was double acceleration. It was like copying one of Ragnar’s special skills.

Bang! Bang!

Overdeer took it by force.

There was a crack in the middle of the Valery Steel Sword. It wasn’t bad enough to break right away.

The black Eitri he was holding took care of it once.

Although it is not a engraved weapon, its will is clear. It is not a weapon that will break easily.

Encred’s thoughts were like that, so naturally he had the same will. So he swung his sword again.

Overdeer knew that his opponent would not back down easily.

In that case, there was no way for him either.

I said with my own mouth that I wouldn’t kill, so I will keep my word.

Because a knight’s words should carry some weight.

Instead, it is.

I felt the need to break at least one arm or leg.

“Let’s see how long we can hold out.”

“There is no need to hold out.”

Overdeer spoke, and the boatman’s voice was heard overlapping above him.

I know. I don’t have to hold on.

But you can’t achieve your goals by just doing what’s necessary.

To achieve what you want, just for that one thing.

Encred decided to fight a pointless fight.

I have traveled the continent, seen and met many people, experienced many things, and realized many things.

‘Nothing can be accomplished by just being a knight.’

The article shouldn’t be the end of it.

That’s why I decided not to do that. I decided to make becoming a knight a beginning, not an end.

“A knight? That’s really funny and I’m falling over.”

I couldn’t even bring myself to say that that was the beginning among these people who laughed at me.

But in the end, he ended up on top of the article that had been the subject of such ridicule.

So, I will live as I believe.

“How stupid.”

Over the boatman’s hallucination, the pole struck his shoulder.

Encrid twisted his body in the way he had learned from Audin.

It was a technique to twist the waist and change the angle of the shoulders while tightening the abdominal muscles. It was a technique to spill and scatter the points.

fillet!

There was a clear sound of a bone cracking, but it wasn’t broken.

Swinging the sword and holding on, the rising heat makes you forget the pain.

Encred repeated it.

The stick held by Overdeer kept hitting his body.

Encred held out several times with only one Valery steel sword, then twisted his body for a moment and stabbed with a spark. It was a hidden left-hand stab.

“good night!”

Shinar shouted after seeing Encred’s actions.

Of course, before he could finish saying that, Overdeer blocked the sparks with the stick in his hand. The sparks passed over the tilted stick. The two weapons met and exploded into the air with a tingling sound. And then they fought again and again.

The blade also grazed Overdeer’s cheek and arm. Drops of blood spurted out.

This means that the blade that Encred swung was a blade that cut through the divine armor.

This was also because Overdeer’s defenses were weakened.

Overdeer went beyond holding on and looked straight at his opponent with blue flames burning from his eyes.

I don’t know what the other person was thinking. I just thought that I shouldn’t ignore the person in front of me.

In this way, the divinity loaded onto the stick, which is my signature weapon, becomes thicker.

As the two forces clashed, it seemed as if a storm was raging in all directions.

As the weapons crossed one after another, Audin felt his heart break as he watched.

‘Why do you hold on? For what?’

Why? For what reason?

Audyn felt distressed. It seemed as if his father was directly scolding him. No, he would rather endure and bear the punishment himself.

But this is not it. This was hard to watch with both eyes open.

My head feels dizzy and my insides feel like they’re churning.

And yet, I watched.

The question arises as to what is keeping that person from backing down. As soon as he asks the question, Audyn realizes that he already knows the answer.

Isn’t that why you decided to come forward?

But why am I hesitating and watching the fight now?

“stop.”

Audyn muttered, but neither of them heard. It would be more correct to say that they did not hear.

In the meantime, Encred, who had not been able to block it, was hit in the chest, and a loud thud was heard.

But Overdeer’s rod did not stop.

And Encred too.

Bam!

Encred’s body rolled backwards with a loud noise as the divine and will interlocked.

There were also cloaks, clothes, and leather armor wrapped around the inside, torn like rags.

The sword in his hand seemed to be still unbroken.

Audin felt physical pain beyond suffering.

This is because the pain felt in the mind is visualized as physical pain.

If I had just been a little lax with my regular training, I might have died from a burst heart. Or become a cripple.

“Did you hold out?”

Overdeer’s voice was heard again.

Encrid, who had been rolling backwards, got up in an instant. Instead of rolling, he used the momentum to correct his posture.

Blood flowed from Encred’s forehead, where it had been torn.

Overdeer spoke again.

“I say again, I won’t kill you, but I’ll take one of your legs.”

The subtle awkwardness in Prophet Overdeer’s speech had been bothersome, but now it didn’t bother him at all. He didn’t have the energy to care about such things.

Audin knew, without much foresight, that Encrid would be defeated. He would not die. Instead, he would lose a leg or an arm.

“Sinaar, over there.”

In the meantime, Encred said, “Have you seen this place in the meantime?”

Almaran was slowly approaching from behind Audin.

A vivid murderous look appeared in the eyes of the man holding the hammer.

An evil murderous intent reached Audin. It was the gaze of a fallen being.

Sinar stood in front of him, holding up his leaf sword. It was a gesture to cut down anyone who came near.

Audin frowned for the first time since the day he met Encrid when he entered the barracks as squad leader.

Even when I first decided to leave the church, my expression was never this wrinkled, but now I couldn’t hide my emotions.

“Don’t do anything. Let me die. Just like you did to me.”

“Phildin’s welcome said. Audyn watched the fight with cloudy eyes.

After that, Encrid was hit again and again.

Bam, bang, thud!

Sometimes it blocks, and then it hits again.

Through it all, Encrid still didn’t back down an inch.

Why? How come?

If he backs down, Overdeer won’t chase him.

“Stop it, just leave me alone, Brother Captain.”

Audyn spoke, but no one listened. No, it seemed Encrid heard.

He wiped the blood from his eyes. Overdeer also stopped swinging his stick for a moment to catch his breath.

There was a hint of fatigue on his face.

Encred spoke quietly and softly, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

“I do not agree with the future that others have created, and if I know that what someone has imposed is wrong, I will not turn away from it just because I lack the power.”

As a knight, I speak my beliefs, and if I don’t keep them, my will will be damaged.

Now Encrid has declared beyond actions, but with words.

There will be no retreat.

‘ah.’

Audin now fully understood the meaning of Encrid’s words.

Overdeer speaks with force.

Don’t interfere with the church’s affairs.

Don’t dare come forward again after this.

And there was no way Encred would tolerate something like that.

Following the sword and the action, Encred’s words pierced Audin’s heart.

Although he was completely self-centered, his will shone like the sun.

It seemed as if the divine light was shining down on him from above the purple sunset.

It must be an illusion that only Audin can see.

“Stop it.”

“Phildin speaks. The face of welcome is clearer than ever. The master of nightmares speaks more clearly than ever.

Audyn turned away for a moment from the poor child, the child he had failed to save. Then he looked at the back of a person.

It was the back of a person who lived entirely on his own will.

For Audin, this moment was a continuation of salvation and punishment, like a repetition of life and death.

Died and came back to life.

Living and dying.

It was just like repeating today.

If Overdeer was punishment, Encred was salvation.

Audin’s hands trembled. Then they stopped.

What Encred is doing now is stopping the church’s events.

It doesn’t make sense to kill them all and shut their mouths, so in the end, it will just end up being an enemy of the religious order.

That’s what it meant to not back down from Overdeer’s will.

Audyn’s mouth opened as he looked at the blood-splattered floor.

It was a deep, deep, bass voice that was different from when he said stop.

“You will be chased for the rest of your life.”

That’s what it means to be an enemy of the church.

Encred’s answer came back in the middle.

The answer is a thud, thud noise.

So what? That’s what he seemed to be saying.
