Eternally Regressing Knight Chapter 467

467
From that day on, the road heading west was peaceful.

Looking at the wide plains, I felt that it was so wide that it was exhausting, but it was really not a bad trip.

“The sky is high today. On days like this, it’s nice to walk while looking at the sky.”

Rem was a really great guide.

He was skilled even though it had been a long time since he left the West.

“Nothing has changed?”

So I asked.

“There’s no way it’ll change. This land is like that.”

I also got an answer like that.

I walked around like that, watching the clouds drift by.

The clouds dispersed, gathered, dispersed, and disappeared again, repeating the cycle.

A high sky is a day when the sky looks very far away. In other words, it is a sky where there are hardly any clouds.

Today was that kind of day.

After drinking the ground squirrel fruit, Encrid sensed something strange.

It was dawn. I was on guard duty when I felt a strange gaze.

It was a low and thin gaze, but one that was clearly recognizable.

No, it is a gaze that has a secretiveness that you wouldn’t notice if you didn’t have a sixth sense.

Encred found the subject of that gaze.

A small shadow passed over the bumpy ground and disappeared.

From then on, I couldn’t feel any movement.

When I told her what I saw this morning, Rem smiled and nodded.

“It’s time for the pocket snoopers to come.”

“A pocket snooper? Didn’t you call that a thief?”

It was said while cleaning Aker’s day and taking care of the weapons and bow that had been given as gifts.

Breakfast this morning was dry food.

Well, it’s hard to cook a proper meal on a long trip, so I just ate beef jerky, salted meat, and dried fruit for a few days.

Rem said that this would only take a few days, but in the meantime, I felt strange stares on what I called a quiet journey.

“If we miss the fruit, how angry will the owner who ripened the fruit be?”

“Did it have an owner?”

Of course, I thought it was coming from the ground.

“Let’s say it. Look at that thing over there.”

Rem raised his hand and pointed to a tree with dry branches that he occasionally saw in the desolate plains.

I’ve seen it a few times.

The branches were like thorns, and the long leaves hung from them. The leaves looked like they had a hard woody texture.

“Those are ground squirrel nuts.”

“what.”

There was nothing that looked like fruit.

“That.”

What Rem was pointing at was a long leaf. My gaze followed his finger and it was there.

“That?”

“that’s right?”

Dunbakel also approached her and asked her if she was curious. Since the duel with Encred, she had repeatedly called Dunbakel to spar with her, so her eyes were bruised and blue.

Even so, Dunbakel said what he had to say and didn’t show any remorse.

“right.”

It was the same with Rem who hit him.

These two did not resent each other, nor did they share any feelings for each other.

It was all about hitting, getting hit, training, and practicing.

The more you look at them, the more interesting they are.

I think it would take an hour for emotions to set in, but Rem was always thorough.

To him, it seemed as if women did not exist.

“Those berries are taken by ground squirrels and buried in the ground. Then, the berries absorb the energy of the ground and grow. Finding the ground with energy, or more precisely, the ground where the berries will grow, is something only ground squirrels can do.”

There were many rare and strange things in the West.

Encred knew that the gaze he was secretly feeling was that of a ground squirrel.

Besides that, everything I heard and saw was something to learn.

Also, curiosity arose as I did so.

This was the third reason I came to this land.

“How do other Westerners fight?”

It was an advantage to be able to concentrate on one thought whether sitting or standing, walking or standing still.

Conversely, it was also a disadvantage to rush forward with only one thought in mind.

Rem answered, looking at the madman who was so obsessed with his sword.

“There are guys who fight like me.”

“Is there?”

“There are some who fight differently from me.”

“Is that all?”

“Do you want to know in advance?”

Encrid shook his head without thinking too deeply.

“No, don’t say it.”

In the past, when my skills were poor, I had to understand the situation better and know my enemy at least a little bit. Otherwise, I would die.

But now it was okay to be a little wild.

So, this could be something like this too.

‘Let’s meet and enjoy.’

It would be more fun to deal with it without knowing. It wasn’t like I was going to die.

Rem chuckled. She knew this would happen.

Encred also laughed.

Because I understand what Rem’s intentions are.

The two of them extended their fists and bumped into each other.

It seemed like the flower of friendship was about to bloom.

“It’ll be fun to meet him. Oh, he might get angry, but the captain might not get angry. That stupid Suin might get hurt, and he might not even touch Prok in the first place.”

Rem led the way, searching through her memories.

Come out of the plain, keep the small ridge to your left, and walk a little above the setting sun.

Then a small village appeared.

Although monsters occasionally appear and cause headaches, everyone living here is a warrior.

From a continental perspective, should we say that they are rangers living in the border area?

Of course, in the West they were simply called warrior villages.

A village where all of them know how to fight and are good at fighting.

Now it was Rem’s turn to see a face he knew.

‘after.’

Rem took a deep breath. He felt a little nervous.

If you go this way, one of the people you meet again will probably resent you quite a bit, and that resentment will be justified.

‘What should I say?’

Long time no see?

If I had known this would happen, I would have picked up a few sparkly gems.

If Christ had been there, wouldn’t he have done whatever it took to prevent him from leaving empty-handed?

I was having such random thoughts.

Bam.

Encred raised his arm and stopped Rem from walking. Rem looked up after seeing Encred’s arm on his stomach.

The village I know is a little further on from here.

There was a race before him that had to raise its head to see his face.

Three of them, too.

The guys who had been hiding behind a short hill crawled out.

“Who sent the lunch box?”

“No, you idiot, we’re the furthest out, who sent us?”

“Then what are those?”

The three of them spoke to the group. Their voices were as loud and thick as thunder. If you listened closely, you would scream that your eardrums were extremely painful.

I noticed a wiry beard, fingers like steel, and a thick torso.

It was a giant.

The three giants blinked as they talked to each other.

All three were carrying thick, dark-brown wooden clubs with sharp thorns embedded in their exterior.

“Do giants appear often in the West?”

Luagarne asked.

In her eyes, or rather, in her eyes of talent reading, those three giants were formidable opponents.

While the group paused for a moment, the three giants thought about it and came to a conclusion.

“I don’t know.”

“Just a snack.”

“Let’s eat.”

The three giants turned around.

Encred had also faced giants.

But this giant was a first.

What are you doing? Eating? What? Us? Are you feeding on humans?

“Get out, Frock, you taste bad!”

The one standing in the middle of the three giants shouted.

A harsh roar ran across the desolate plain. The pressure was palpable. A will to reject naturally arose within Encred’s body.

“Crunch!”

Dunbakel’s pupils become vertically elongated.

Whirlwind, bang.

Even in this absurd situation, Rem turned the axe around in his hand and held it.

Chomp!

Luagarne took out her whip and struck the floor.

A thin cloud of dust rose with the sound of a whip hitting the ground.

The three giants walked briskly.

“Prok is tough.”

“Chew it and throw it away.”

“Suin is mine!”

Cannibalistic, or should we call it an omnivorous giant since it doesn’t only eat humans?

The three giants closed the distance. At first glance, they seemed slow, but that was because of their large bodies, and they were definitely not slow.

Moreover, one of the three who had been approaching quickly suddenly increased their speed.

Swing the club forward with acceleration.

It was an unexpected move.

You were going to strike me down without thinking, but then suddenly stabbed me with a club?

First of all, you’re running towards me like a bum and then suddenly attack me like this?

Surprise is surprise, and Encrid reacted immediately.

The sixth sense, integrated into sensory skills, paves the way.

The blade of concentration that arose from one point of concentration revealed itself blue.

After that, all you have to do is draw the picture you have in your head based on the strength of your body.

Bam!

There was an explosion as Aker was pulled out and struck the giant with his club.

The blade and the club met and parted. The two weapons were pushed out simultaneously.

Aker’s sharp blade sliced ​​through a section of the dark brown club. Pieces of the club flew to the side.

The giants hesitated and stopped. As one stopped, the two giants next to him also moved to one side and stopped.

It looked like three giants were surrounding the group.

Encred looked down at his feet with his sword raised.

Should we really call it the power of a giant?

Even though I had just burst my mighty heart, my feet were pushed back.

Rem, who was holding an axe on one side, tilted his head and asked.

“What are you guys?”

Why is a giant, and a man-eating giant, popping out here?

Rem was genuinely curious.

“Oh, are you scared, kid?”

The giant spoke in a frightening tone, as if trying to deceive the little boy.

Rem had never been treated like that before.

He looked up and thought.

Wouldn’t it be possible to talk even if only one of the three survived?

Judging from the way they pounced a little while ago, it wasn’t that they were low-intelligence, but that they knew how to use their appearance.

In other words, they are guys who know how to use their heads.

Knowing how to use your head means knowing fear well.

“Don’t kill one of them, just play with him.”

Rem spoke and dropped the axe.

He pulled in his chin and lowered his head slightly, and a naturalization flame burned in his raised eyes.

There is someone who is supposed to guard this area.

They were invisible and the omnivorous giants remained.

What does that mean?

Here’s what happened.

That scratched Rem’s insides.

He put strength into his feet that were pressing on the ground. His powerful heart moved and transmitted strength to his thigh muscles.

I bent my knees and put strength into my ankles.

Wood thud thud.

The ground shook.

“What is it?”

The giant still lured Rem with his stupid acting.

Rem decided to fall for the temptation.

bang!

Kicking the ground and moving forward. There were some things that were absolutely useless while sparring with Encred.

For example, things like raising the strength of the heart to its limit.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can beat Encred.

My captain must have hidden something as much as I hid something.

humming.

The club fell exactly on Rem’s head at the exact moment he lunged.

Rem kicked the ground with his left foot, launching his body forward, and then kicked the ground again with his right foot while gaining momentum.

It’s a weaker step than before, but it’s a step that doubles the speed.

It was a catch called double jump.

pop.

The second step wasn’t as explosive as the previous one, but it was enough to add speed.

Rem’s axe passed over the club and cut the giant’s body.

Swish!

“Khuu …

The giants howled like beasts. Their blood was sprayed everywhere.

Originally, giants were a species called the Red-Blooded Demons, but their blood was a little different.

Their blood was a deep purple, almost violet.

Amidst the scattered blood, the giant howled and lifted his foot to sweep away the spot where Rem had been.

The fact that he didn’t just kick me outright, but instead kicked me in a wide arc, was proof that he knew how to fight.

Rem swung his axe at the giant’s leg, using the rebound to send it flying sideways.

Of course, it was an intentional move.

In the direction Rem was moving, another giant pretended to swing his club and then extended his hand.

Rem kicked it away again and dodged to one side.

As Encred watched, a giant suddenly came up behind him.

“this guy!”

The bastard swung the club in his right hand to block Encred’s path of movement, while at the same time he grabbed Encred’s shoulder with his left hand and tried to hold it down.

He shouted, “You bastard!” and the sound was so loud that it really hurt my ears. Even that would have the effect of temporarily stiffening a person’s body, but it didn’t work on everyone.

Encred, who had already read the signs, turned around, stabbed the spark, and struck Aker upward.

As a result, Aker struck the giant with his club, and the sparks left a small wound on his palm.

The giant only got a small scratch instead of a hole because he extended his left hand and then pulled it back.

Fibic.

The sparks caused dark purple blood to flow from his hands.

Anyone who looked at it could tell that it wasn’t red blood.

“Where did someone like you come from? I won’t forgive you! You!”

The giant suddenly became angry. Encred stared into the creature’s eyes.

The eyes of the angry man were really cold.

It was like Christ’s eyes counting coins before Krona.

It was a calculating eye.
