Eternally Regressing Knight Chapter 593

593. Five cuts

It was in front of the inn door that the administrator had left open. Outside, a hooded figure was seen. The figure seemed familiar. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be one of the people who had been watching him warily when he entered the city.

Encred looked at him indifferently.

The administrator spoke without looking back.

“No, you can’t. There are a lot of guys out there targeting the VIPs. Go to the mansion right now.”

“fu*k you. You bastard.”

Hood gritted his teeth at the administrator. They didn’t seem to be on good terms.

And then I looked at Encred again, and the administrator’s gaze was still the same as before, no matter what anyone said.

Two sets of eyes were fixed on Encred, as if they were forcing him to make a choice. They also seemed like two forks in the road.

Actually, it may not be a crossroads.

What if I make a wrong choice now, will something happen like the boatman said?

Encred briefly thought about it, but he didn’t hesitate. Whichever path he took, it was his choice.

At first, I was more interested in what the hood was saying.

On the other hand, when he saw the administrator, he felt something ticking on his mind. But he wasn’t going to beat him up right away. Encred stepped out and patted the administrator on the shoulder.

“I’ll talk about it and come see you in the evening.”

“kyung.”

The snake-eyed administrator called Encrid, but he left her behind and went out. Luagarne followed him.

Go outside and stand in front of the hooded man, the hood said.

“Administrators do not care about the city, they care about their own interests.”

The voice was too loud for the administrator to hear.

“Could you speak more confidently?”

Encred said.

“Now is the time to hide. Follow me.”

The man spoke hurriedly, turned around, and walked quickly. Without any hesitation, he entered the alley. Even though the sun had risen, the inside of the alley was gloomy.

It was cold because it was winter, but it seemed like the air was even colder on the inside of the road. No matter where you looked, the atmosphere was gloomy and ominous, but Encred followed Hood with brisk strides.

“hurry!”

The man urged, and Encrid complied coolly.

“That road is dangerous!”

The administrator shouted from behind. Encred ignored him and continued walking. After walking for a while, the usual uneasy feeling came back. It was as if someone was staring at him but he couldn’t find the subject.

“Don’t you feel like something is watching you?”

Encred asked as he walked. He wasn’t running, but his pace was fast enough. Luagarne answered, puffing out her cheeks slightly.

“no.”

Is it because I’m sensitive? Or is it the atmosphere in the city?

It was something I didn’t know.

“shit.”

The man who was walking ahead suddenly stopped. As we passed through the alley, the road became quite wide, wide enough for five people to walk side by side.

It was when I passed through that road and reached a relatively large square-like place.

There were a lot of people, but the man stopped walking when he saw them.

Encred grabbed the hooded man by the cloak and asked.

“A trap? Are you a cultist?”

The hooded man answered, taking off his hood.

“I am the lord!”

Why is the lord here?

The man was in his thirties with light brown hair. He looked around.

“Things are really bad. Let’s get out of here, we’ll open the way.”

At the words of the man claiming to be the lord, two men with hoods pulled over their heads ran out from one side. They were both holding single spears and seemed to be quite skilled with them.

If you look after him well, he might be able to join the Border Guard reserve.

Of course, basic training would have to be done again. Even now, he was jumping forward and his feet were shaking. Encred thought that the reason was his lower body was weak.

In fact, these two had not been able to rest properly for several days because they were watching over the people from the Border Guard.

I watched them and then started to move after seeing the movements of the attackers, but the enemies were faster than me.

The lord had been driven out for some reason, but he did not want to die or leave the city.

To escape this situation, an outside force was needed, but it was not easy to avoid the hands of those who controlled the city.

While they were somehow building up their forces and holding on, reinforcements from the Border Guard arrived.

Now, after informing them of the current state of the city, he wanted to ask for their help in getting rid of the masterminds who had tarnished it with prostitution, drugs, and gambling.

But for that to happen, wouldn’t they have to leave the city again with their two legs intact?

Before that, you’ll have to believe me.

Just as they were about to take action, a criminal group within the city took action first.

Even the lord himself had no idea how they moved so quickly. When he thought about it, they were always one step ahead of him.

“I see you’re the lord of the castle and have a relationship with the administrative official.”

Encred said calmly, not knowing the speed.

“That author is not on my side!”

The lord spoke as if shouting. His voice grew louder in frustration. He looked around and drew his short sword as well.

Ching.

Can I get out? The situation was so bad, it was so bad.

“My Lord, I will buy you some time.”

One of the men holding the spear spoke. When the lord looked back, he saw that there were already people loitering around the path they had come from, blocking their way.

There were enemies on all sides. The number must have been over a hundred.

The three people in the center looked at the lord and the two from the border guards with their weight held high.

There were three of them: a half-blood fairy with one ear cut off, a pockmarked skin, a crooked nose, and a twisted mouth, and a quiet female prosecutor.

One female inspector in particular stood out, wearing armor that highlighted her swollen breasts.

She was an attractive woman with curly red hair and a bashful smile.

Although her looks were not particularly outstanding, her body and smile combined made her an attractive woman that was hard to take your eyes off.

“Where are you going, Nari Seongju? I think the man with the prok over there is my guest.”

The man with one ear cut off spoke. He was the man named Windblade who ruled the city.

He had a scimitar on his waist, and when it was pulled out and a wind blew, he would cut in no time, so he was nicknamed the wind sword.

It was a world where it was natural for people to be given various nicknames if they were even a little famous, just like knights were given nicknames.

The fairy next to him snorted at Encred with a sinister look in her eyes.

He used poison, and ever since he was young and was disfigured by the poison he used, he would feel sick whenever he saw someone even slightly handsome.

Whenever I encountered such people, I would always feel better after spitting out curses or poisoning them, but with someone like that, I felt like I would only feel better if I killed them.

“Wow, he’s handsome.”

It was the words of a woman wearing revealing armor that exposed her shoulders and cleavage.

She learned a special magic when she was young, using her body and smile to charm people. She was still working on it to try it out.

All that was needed was for the opponent to look at him and steal his gaze, whether it was his body or face, but Encred could see himself looking at him indifferently.

Although his eyes were somewhat indifferent, it was a spell that would catch her once she saw it. She knew that.

“you guys!”

The lord shouted in surprise at the sight of the three. It couldn’t have been otherwise.

Haven’t those three been fighting each other, calling each other enemies, until now?

It was impossible not to be surprised, as the three who had fought so fiercely to take over the city were gathered here and waiting for him.

“That’s not my style.”

The woman said, sticking her tongue out. She was really cute, even though she was an enemy. The lord shook his head. For a moment, he felt like he was going crazy.

“It won’t work. I’ll open a way somehow, so go back to the Border Guard and tell them about the situation in the city. I heard that General Abnayer is there. If he knows the situation here, he won’t turn away.”

The lord was determined. Even if I have to give up my life here, I will get rid of the dirty bastards who have taken over this city.

He steeled his resolve and drew his sword.

“I will die here. This is the end of my willpower. Goddess of Fortune, help the Cross Guard, and have pity on man.”

Ruagarne listened to those words from the side and thought that their information power was truly poor.

‘No one seems to know who Encred is.’

Encred had similar thoughts.

The three of them were the same, the leader of the bandits or something. They didn’t know who the person standing before them was.

“Your skills are not bad. Don’t you plan on staying here? I will take you under me. From now on, call me Master.”

The man named Wind Sword said. No matter how highly Encred rated his opponent, he was still considered a squire.

In fact, that was a really high estimate. Even if you have Su-in’s unique athletic ability, it would be difficult to go beyond that.

There were three guys who took over one city, and all three were weaker than expected.

Is there something else? Is it because there are so many people?

I don’t think that’s the case either.

There was a man next to him who claimed to be the lord, so it was something he could have just asked.

If all of this was a result of the power struggle between the lords, I had no intention of taking sides.

But there was a crazy kid who tried to kill himself and then told me to come down, and there was a guy who played with the food. So we’re going to have to do something about it.

Encred asked, raising his right hand slightly.

“The guy who played a prank on the restaurant owner today?”

At first glance, it was a calm attitude that was far from being scared or nervous.

The three heads of the crime guilds that ruled the city frowned.

What on earth makes him do that?

Can’t you grasp the situation?

“What if I know?”

The half-blood fairy twisted her lips as she spoke. That was a smile. To someone who didn’t know, it looked like she was pouting in anger. Of course, it wasn’t a pleasant sight.

“Don’t play with your food.”

Encred said.

“You don’t like it?”

As she spoke, the fairy waved her hand. As she waved her hand from bottom to top, specially crafted needles flew towards Encred’s eyes.

It was a needle, but I had to think of it as something like a thick blade.

The throwing skill was excellent. It is not easy to target a small body part like the eye.

“caution!”

The lord shouted. Encrid pulled out the short sword that Eitri had gifted him and waved it roughly in front of his eyes. It was a gesture as if he was shooing away a fly.

Tiding.

Two thick needles flew in and hit the blade, and no one here could figure out how they happened. It was simple, really.

Since I could clearly see the needle flying, I just had to aim the blade at its trajectory.

The movement required no special skill or technique.

Encred struck the needle and looked ahead, and behind the men blocking his path he saw a low building, and beyond that a blue sky. The weather was good. It was a clear winter sky without a single cloud.

It was a day when the chill of early winter was in the air.

The sky was clear and clean, but it wasn’t a city. It was smelly, dirty, and full of filth.

“Do you know the Gilpin Guild? Someone from that group came here and then lost contact.”

Encrid looked up at the sky absentmindedly and said.

“……They even detain people.”

The lord looked around and answered. Looking at the clear sky, Encred saw that the current situation was not bad.

I was planning on getting involved anyway, but since they all came together and attacked me, there was nothing I couldn’t like.

“Lua.”

“Okay. I’ll stand guard.”

The goal was to protect the man named Seongju.

As Encred strode forward, Windblade drew his weapon.

Slurp.

The broad blade split the light, revealing his body. His specialty was swinging his sword as fast as the wind. But Encred didn’t even look at it carefully. He glanced at it briefly and then spread his gaze widely.

The fairy placed six poisoned darts between the fingers of both hands, a technique he had practiced all his life.

The woman in armor suddenly approached Encred with a smile.

She was already casting a spell. Her specialty was to charm people with her body and smile.

It was a technique that had never betrayed her before. She approached Encred as if she was going out to meet him.

Her light steps made my heart flutter. Any man would have been captivated by her gaze.

“Oh my, my face looks so…….”

She couldn’t finish her sentence.

Encred walked over and swung his sword, splitting the head of the female guild leader apart.

At that moment, a dart coated with blood poison flew.

Encred noticed that only the tip of the dart was poisoned. The half-blood fairy was bare-handed, showing off her long, white fingers. She had no equipment for poisoning.

That’s right. The half-blood fairy had an ugly face, but she was proud of her pretty fingers all her life, so she hated covering her hands. That’s why she used to throw darts with poison only on the tip.

Encred caught the flying darts one by one. They were tools that could be caught without harm as long as you avoided the poisoned parts.

It might not be visible to the eyes of an ordinary person, but it was a very easy task for Encred.

Knights were those who transcended boundaries, those who were called disasters, those who cut the cloth alone.

This couldn’t have been a fight in the first place.

When Encred snatched the dart out of thin air, the half-fairy was so surprised that she couldn’t say anything, and Windblade instinctively jumped forward and swung his sword parallel to the ground, but Encred nonchalantly raised his sword vertically and struck, cutting through the weapon containing the Windblade and cutting through his chest. With a snap, her heart was visible inside the torn chest muscles.

Luagarne turned her head away for a moment at the gruesome scene.

I even tore his heart apart with my own hands, but that was inevitable when dealing with Prock. It wasn’t a pleasant experience to see his heart beating like that.

“Are you going to do more?”

Encred asked after killing them both in one breath.

“Kill him!”

The terrified half-blood fairy cried out. Most of them rushed at her without even knowing who they were facing.

Among them were many who were drugged. Encred drew his sword and swung it.

The first one to rush in had a lid on his skull, and the second one got punched and lost his eyes, nose, and mouth. They had sunk in, burst, and broken.

There were a few more stabbings after that, but it was embarrassing to even call it a fight. Except for a few guys who were high on drugs, no one really attacked.

The terrified ones ran away one by one. It took five slashes for the men rushing around to disappear. Encred waved his sword in the air.

The blood on the sword fell to the floor.

They said they mixed it with ink, so the sword became heavier than before and the cutting taste was different.

It was also good for using a heavy, powerful blow.

Just now, he had cut down two people at once, and the sword seemed to pass through them with a sharp motion. At this level, it would be no exaggeration to call it a famous sword. It seemed that Eitri’s skill was getting better by the day.

“So, you said you were the lord?”

When Encred turned around, there was a man with his mouth wide open, looking like he was about to drool.

“Oh, uh, that’s right. I’m the lord.”

He answered.

His expression was more than just surprised; it was as if he had lost his words.
