A Knight Who Eternally Regresses - Chapter 451
Only Noblemtl
451. He even stole Oara’s smile.
Encred reacts and Dunbakel and Rem move.
Arrows fly one after another across the dark night sky.
A few torches fell to the ground.
The whole situation was drawn like a picture in Encred’s head.
In an urgent situation, Encred’s instincts shined coldly. The sword of intuition cut through the darkness.
‘Half alive.’
Some of the hostages tied to the pole were on the verge of death.
The giant spider didn’t seem to have any intention of sparing the hostage it had placed on the pole.
The intention is literally only to demoralize the opponent.
A monster thinks like this?
Surprisingly, it wasn’t the time to discuss it now.
The important thing is how far you can survive.
All of them will not survive. A giant spider stretched out its pointed legs from under a bluish-white stone.
It was long and sharp enough to be considered a spear.
‘Exactly half.’
You can kill someone by throwing something at them, but that won’t save them.
Will was activated. The predictions made by the eyes that could see an inch ahead expanded and showed a part of the future. It was a future seen from the realm of intuition.
Still, there was nothing that could be changed.
Meanwhile, Rem and Dunbakel killed two spiders.
An axe and a curved sword split the monster’s head.
Encrid also reached in front of one and stabbed the spark.
He kicked the ground and came closer, and the swift thrust that followed pierced a hole in the monster’s head. He stabbed and pulled out, and immediately strengthened his legs. Should I give up just because I saw an unchanging future?
Encrid didn’t do that.
Whether it worked or not, I tried to move forward.
There are nine poles in total.
Even if he runs, he will die. That was the picture drawn on the future canvas that Encred saw. Even so, he will not stop.
And then the silver light split the canvas.
Booooooooo.
He tore and sliced off the spider’s leg as it continued to stab the hostage.
Encred stopped running. He even forgot to breathe.
Did you think you saw the knight’s sword?
It’s a mistake.
What does it mean to cut a thousand pieces alone?
Where was the reason for calling it a disaster?
A mercenary king who stabs his spear at an incomprehensible angle.
Ragna’s thunderbolt strikes with incomprehensible power.
The sword of Shinar, realized in an incomprehensible form.
And now it is.
Oara moved at an incomprehensible speed, changing the picture drawn on the canvas with the brush called sword.
The place she was was further away than Encred, but now Oara was everywhere.
There were six hostage poles, six that Encred had missed, and six for Oara.
A magical artifact created at a violent speed unfolded before my eyes.
If I had felt a thrill with each stroke of the knife, now ecstasy filled my whole body.
I wanted to do something like this.
I wanted to see something like this.
This was the article.
The Red Cloak Knight’s Oara began to move his sword and run wild among the monsters.
Her black disaster turned into rain and poured down on the spider monsters.
“It’s a bit harsh.”
Rem’s admiration.
“ah.”
I can hear the sound of Dunbakel’s voice.
Encred’s gaze was busy following Oara’s sword.
“ha ha ha!”
Oara laughed out loud.
She killed and killed spiders with human-sized heads with just one ordinary longsword.
It was a series of simple movements.
It was just as I was taught.
“There is no need for fancy swordsmanship.”
Her words seemed to ring in my ears.
She stabbed and cut and tore and beat.
That was enough. With the sound of laughter, Oara’s sword became more violent, her kicks were like a sledgehammer, and her speed became faster.
A spider monster opened its mouth and spat out a ball of silk. The ball was bigger than my head.
Oara’s black sword was also cut.
Pick, a small spiderling burst out from between the clump of torn thread.
There must have been well over a hundred of them pouring down from just above my head.
It was a tiny baby spider, barely the size of a finger.
That wasn’t a problem either.
Although he couldn’t see it, Encred guessed that Oara had snorted and farted.
In an instant, her sword created a flower.
It is a flower of afterimages created by dozens of stabs.
Peekaboo, peekaboo!
A dozen baby spiders die at once. He did it with a knife.
Encred said he watched, but it wasn’t for long. So, it was safe to say that the changes on the battlefield came in a short moment.
The hostage appeared, Oara showed her knightly power, and it all happened in just a few breaths.
Oara went that far, put down her sword, puffed out her chest, and shouted.
“All troops-! Stay in your positions!”
Upon hearing that, Encred picked up the hostages one by one and threw them behind him.
Rem took it and sent it back.
“Chew, ow!”
Rowena’s man shouted and picked up the hostage. It was Rowena.
The other soldiers also carried the bag one by one and started running backwards.
“Close the gates!”
Encred’s gaze turned back slightly. He saw the dead Milio and some of the soldiers.
If he had heard the shout earlier and reacted, Millio might have lived, but he threw himself to protect his subordinate.
That probably wasn’t calculated or anything.
It’s probably just instinct and my body is moving on its own.
However, it is just a pity.
He won’t be able to dream of me anymore.
The dream of having Aura as my bride is over.
Because the dead cannot be with the living.
Instead, Rowena lived.
“Don’t die, here I come.”
The soldier carrying Rowena ran, shouting over and over again.
Do flowers bloom even in a devil’s paradise?
There was such talk in the city.
Here, people lived and loved.
These were the things that Oara wanted to protect.
“Captain, are you just going to watch?”
Rem asked. It was different from before. A different number of monsters were coming out from the top of the wall.
There were so many of them it was terrifying.
That wasn’t the end of it.
In front of Oara, a pitch-black shadow appeared and swung its sword.
Encred’s eyes caught it.
There wasn’t just one black one, there were several.
It’s a quick slash that leaves dozens of afterimages.
Tata dadadadadang!
Oara’s sword moved and struck them all down. He counterattacked them all one by one, and even stabbed them.
But the one who struck the sword retreated and dodged.
Encred’s eyes caught sight of his opponent.
It was a peculiar form. It was a monstrous spider with eight legs, standing on two legs and the rest hanging down like arms.
“It’s a special species.”
Luagarne said, pulling out his whip.
The face of the eight-sworded spider monster was similar to that of a human. Pale skin, and where the eyes were, they were split into dozens of insect-like eyes.
There was only one round hole in the nose, and no snout.
On each of its eight legs were eight pure white blades.
No, they were tangled together. Their legs were like blades.
“Oh yeah, you little Jerry. Is that a new lover you’ve prepared?”
Oara said with a smile. Even if you don’t like everything, you smile. That was the smiling knight Oara.
“Master!”
It was Roman’s voice shouting as he jumped out from behind Oana.
“You damn dog-like bastards.”
On the other side, a short blonde stepped forward, and Squire Net stepped back.
At that moment, arrows began to fly again from inside the gray forest.
This was before the body of the dead Milio was recovered.
Encred raised his shield to block, and the others also blocked and struck back on their own.
No arrows flew near Oara and the knight.
All that followed was a confrontation between the eight-armed, bipedal spider and Oara.
‘A knight-level monster.’
Why is it that we cannot dream of a world without monsters, even though knights exist?
Of course, it was because there was a monster to deal with.
It was one of them.
The eight-legged monster’s red eyes glowed, split into dozens of segments.
“Keeuk.”
To Encred’s ears, it sounded like the bastard was laughing.
“Do you like hanging out with other women?”
Ohara cracked a joke. It was a great joke.
The spider with its eight bladed arms gave off a dizzying sense of intimidation just by its presence, but Oara paid no attention.
She raised her sword, and the spider stepped aside.
An owlbear came out from behind.
An owl’s head, a bear’s body, and two unusually large hands were visible.
When I clenched my fist, it looked like two rocks were attached to the end of my arm.
The puffy feathers made the body and fists look larger.
“Huh? That’s not easy either.”
Rem said.
Encred felt the same way. He felt dizzy the moment he saw it.
My heart was also pounding.
It was clear that this was a strong monster, not something to be taken lightly.
“Are you guys determined?”
Oara’s mouth opened.
Two monsters rush in. The knight’s sword and the monster’s weapon clash.
The speed exceeded the limit, creating a long trajectory like a flame in the air.
A picture was drawn of light scattering as trajectories overlap.
Tata dadadang! Ting! Ting!
There was a mix of loud noises from time to time.
I just watched for two knights to intervene.
It was difficult to interfere carelessly.
It was a two-on-one fight, but it was hard to see Oara being overwhelmed.
This wasn’t the end.
Dada dadadak!
There was a monster that shot arrows.
From beyond the magic realm, demons began to crawl out.
It was a wave.
The wave that Knight Oara had been blocking was crashing down on Thousand Brick.
Oara swung her sword horizontally, biting two monsters slightly before shouting.
“Enki, Asia, defend the city!”
The rest of the fighting will be yours.
Two knights followed behind her to protect her.
Asia was nowhere to be seen, having already left to deal with a horde of arrow-shooting monsters.
“My head hurts.”
Rem spoke and took out his axe. Looking at the men rushing towards him, it seemed that they were not a number that could be dealt with with bullets.
Encred also drew his sword. Aker in his right hand, Spark in his left.
Will Oara be pushed? It didn’t seem like it.
She skillfully blocked the eight blade-shaped arms of the spider and the Owlbear’s fists.
‘What if I were you?’
It will never be that easy.
The two monsters filled each other’s gaps very skillfully.
How do I break that?
‘Ragnar’s Black Lightning.’
If so, it’s possible. Could you do something similar with your own white lightning?
It’s impossible. I knew it the moment I saw it.
Encred took his eyes off Oara’s fight. While she was fighting, he had to do his own thing.
Kiriric.
A series of strange cries and the sound of something crawling on the floor were heard.
The sight of a swarm of spiders swarming through the darkness was terrifying.
Encred decided to strike down the horror with his sword.
Bam, bam.
The straight blade of Aker split the spider’s head, which was as high as my forehead.
Rem was there to help, his axe also doing the same thing.
Luagarne looked at the situation and said.
“You just have to hang in there.”
At those words, Dunbakel looked noticeably relieved.
Encred heard the cries of soldiers who took it for granted that there were casualties from the flying arrows.
“Oh!”
That’s what I heard from Roman last night.
That cry was Oara’s Oara.
These are the ones guarded by Knight Oara.
She was the master of the city where her beliefs were embedded.
If Knight Oara fights for them.
They also fight for Aura.
And fought for the city again.
Encred slew four monsters with his sword, then cast his gaze forward for a moment.
I just followed my feeling. So it was a gut feeling. It was like someone had told me to look ahead.
It was inside the forest. A spider and a different type of monster walked out from there.
It is the one who steps out from between the gray trees of the Demon Realm and tramples the black soil.
“Jerix, you’ve prepared a lot.”
Oara, who saw that, spoke. It was a brief opening created by blocking and striking Arachne and Owlbear’s attacks with her sword.
The two special monsters also retreated and stopped for a moment.
“Are you after me?”
Oara asked.
There was no way Ghoul could answer.
And Aura laughed.
Encrid didn’t know the whole story, but he knew one thing.
It’s ten.
Jerix, my ex-husband, the monster that currently maintains that magic.
The monster that Oara wants to kill the most.
If you kill that thing, the demon realm will lose its power. The demon realm is like a very large colony.
But it came out anyway.
It was a gamble.
When coincidences overlap, it becomes destiny.
The countless times Oara has broken through the demon realm.
A monster that knows how to use its head.
Double crescent moon.
The number of monsters gathered.
From the monster’s perspective, there is only one way to end the threat.
Killing Aura.
All coincidences made today.
Finally, Encred’s gaze turned to the ghoul.
Blue skin, a torn mouth, a hole in the bridge of the nose, and pitch-black eyes without pupils.
And the arms were hanging down, the fingernails were half a span long at the end, and the skin on the arms looked unusually hard.
It looked like he was holding a sword.
The ghoul’s posture caught my eye.
The way he walked was different, and it seemed like he was wielding both his arms like swords.
Moreover, the tip of those nails was laced with poison that would poison a knight if he just brushed against it.
The fingernails were dark in color, unlike the skin, as if they were stained with soot.
It’s black, like it’s absorbing the light of the twin moons.
In conclusion, the bastard’s posture looked like he had learned swordsmanship.
“The magic mirror makes the monsters evolve.”
Luagarne said.
Encred couldn’t quite figure out why, but he had seen the results firsthand, so he had an idea of what had happened.
A ghoul was born in the devil’s realm.
He observed humans, challenged them to fights, and barely survived.
Oara said that she missed Jerryx three times.
Each time, he became stronger. Each time, he became more cunning.
The end was now.
‘An evolving monster.’
A monster that trains and disciplines.
The corners of the ghoul’s mouth twisted upward.
He even stole Oara’s smile.
Woooooooo!
The bastard burst into laughter. That’s what it sounded like to Encred.
