Eternally Regressing Knight Chapter 86

86. What changes when you open the door.

The Gate of the Sixth Sense.

Although it was opened by detecting harm to the body.

This was an antenna that sensed movement around itself within a certain radius.

I knew it when I opened the door based on instinct.

‘If you use it differently.’

Wouldn’t it be possible to read the movements of the person behind me?

I picture Rem’s movements behind me in my mind. He digs his nose, flicks it, writhes inside the heated leather, and then looks up. His eyes stop on his back.

To explain the detailed process, it involves listening to a sound, guessing the reason for the sound, and then predicting the opponent’s movements, but the series of processes were accomplished all at once.

This is the ‘door to the sixth sense’.

It was something that could be done with an open door.

‘If this is it.’

It didn’t seem that difficult to dodge even if someone was swinging a club from behind.

It is the realm of sixth sense, intuition, and instinct.

Only then did I understand the animal’s instinctive hunting method that Saxony had mentioned.

The Gate of Sixth Sense was used to quickly gather all the information around you and put it into your head.

So, if you apply it, if you concentrate, you will be able to tell when Rem is picking his nose behind you.

“Thoughtless people call this the mind’s eye, but it’s all bullshit. “I just feel better, that’s all.”

According to Saxony’s explanation, it was so. So, it was natural that the more it was applied, the wider its usable range would be.

Of course, there were things to be careful about.

“If you blindly trust your senses, you may end up deceived, so be careful.”

As he spoke, Saxony placed his left hand on Encred’s shoulder. And right before Saxony’s hand touched his shoulder, En Creed had the illusion that Saxony was aiming for his neck with that hand.

It was a strange trick.

In a way, it is similar to a Valencian mercenary sword.

Has opening the door to the sixth sense made any difference in repeating today? does not exist. Encred began to live the same day again.

However, I just have a feeling that the results will be different from today.

In fact, there is no such thing as a premonition.

Now that I have the confidence to overcome that vicious trap.

Wearing a leather breastplate, a long sword on the left waist, and a guard sword with a thick blade on the back of the waist.

He carried his whistle tightly in a sheath wrapped around his body and hid a small knife on both ankles.

With the Gambison on top, they were fully armed as light infantry.

Because I was used to it, I didn’t waste time arming myself.

To do this, I deliberately ate breakfast and moved around as if I was hiding my eyes.

‘Just pick up a few more perches as you go.’

It’s a road I’ve traveled dozens of times. Even stopping at a general store on the way was so familiar that I repeated it to the point where I got sick of it.

“Are you planning to go to a shoe shop and hold a sword to the owner’s throat to appease him? Or are you planning to fight for your life with Boots?”

This is what Rem says after hearing the contents of the request. Rem was lying on the bed and talking with only his face exposed.

“I won’t come back until I cut off ten boots.”

It was farm work done every day.

‘I feel like I’m making similar jokes every time I keep repeating today.’

I got a glimpse of Rem’s true feelings. This may be because going to a shoe shop rather than a magician is in itself a nuisance.

“Let’s deal with it quickly and go pick off the head of the demon beast.”

Rem snorted and said.

Encred nodded and thought.

No one would expect such a cave to exist in the basement of a craftsman’s shop. It was natural.

‘I didn’t believe it until I saw it too.’

So I was curious again.

What lies beyond?

Gaang.

Seeing off Esther, Encred tapped Esther’s nose with his fingertip to remember the day.

Kyaarung!

Esther, who had been caught off guard, stepped back, shook her head left and right, and immediately burst into tears.

That was so cute, Encred said with a smile.

“Goes.”

So, I left the dormitory, stopped at a general store, bought three perches, put two on my belt, and walked holding one like a club.

I quickly arrived at the craftsman’s shop and entered.

“Look! “There’s a hole here!”

I hear what the surprised craftsman says.

“I see. There’s a hole. I’ll check.”

The craftsman, who was speaking with surprised eyes, did not make a fuss about Encred’s answer, but instead looked at Encred’s whole body.

“… … Where are you going to go to war?”

Even patrolmen are fully armed and do not charge like this. Seeing the thick cloth armor and state of armament, those words naturally came out of the craftsman’s mouth.

“Do your best in everything, even the little things. “This is what the teacher who taught me how to use a sword told me.”

In fact, a swordsmanship instructor I met in passing said something like that.

Therefore, it is not a lie.

In reality, I was just fully prepared because I didn’t know what would happen.

“Someone has set a terrible trap, so don’t come inside even by mistake.”

When he peeked inside the hole and scared the weaver, his complexion turned blue.

Then he asks.

“You can tell just by taking a quick look inside?”

Ah, I was a little anxious.

Encred thought and opened his mouth again.

“I’m an expert in this area.”

After answering indifferently, the craftsman reluctantly nodded and opened his mouth, showing the reaction Encred had originally expected.

“trap? What trap? “Why is there something like this under my store?”

Even Encred can’t know, but he won’t remain unaware.

Because I’m going to find out now.

A trap was laid, and the trap did its job.

The obvious thing to know here is:

If you overcome the trap, something will come out.

You have to have something to hide, so you try to hide it.

“Why did you do this here?”

Encred paused for a moment, took a breath, and then continued.

“We will find out from now on.”

Encred’s curiosity was piqued as well.

I answered and skillfully walked down the ramp.

Even with my eyes closed, I could see where and in what form the cave had formed.

It’s a road I’ve traveled dozens of times. I continued to wander around this narrow cave, hoping to open the door to my sixth sense.

Thanks to this, I was able to memorize even the curves of the ground.

Then again, there were six crossroads ahead.

The first and second passages exploded.

In the third passage, the blade of wind fell vertically.

There was no need to spend more time training his sixth sense.

I’ve done enough.

‘then.’

Which of the six passageways is safe?

Instead of answering the question that was going through his mind, Encred wanted to open the head of the bastard who created this.

‘It’s insidious.’

Because all six are traps.

That is, if my sixth sense is not wrong.

Among the dozens of times today, of course, there was the task of checking my sixth sense.

Is your sense of danger correct?

It’s the right feeling.

In fact, Encred realized that the sixth path was also wrong.

As I entered the sixth passage, a cloudy smoke appeared above my head.

It was a poisonous mist that caused blisters the moment it covered the skin, and when inhaled, gave a pain that was incomparable to being cut by a sword or stabbed by a spear.

An ominous feeling is felt in all six passages. There is no way. I’m stuck.

Should I stop here? Are you stranded? Can’t you use your hands anymore?

I knew it instinctively. The only way to escape today is to go beyond this cave.

Stopping because the road is blocked means being trapped in today.

The opponent was not a soldier skilled in stabbing.

It wasn’t an assassin approaching silently.

It was not a group of enemy soldiers facing each other on an unfavorable battlefield.

It’s just a trap.

It’s just a spell trap that stands still, doesn’t move, and has no intelligence.

Encred stood in front of the first aisle.

‘If you step wrong, you’ll be roasted.’

How does a spell trap activate?

Because we have opened the door to our sixth sense, we can look at it from the realm of instinct.

There was no need for a torch.

Encred walked into the passage.

Every time I took a step, cold sweat broke out on my forehead. It felt like she was narrowly avoiding a blade that seemed to cut with just a touch of her finger with her bare body.

The principle of trap activation is detection.

Avoid walking in places that feel ominous.

I activate one point of concentration and the boldness of a beast dwells in my heart.

There was no case of shaky steps.

Stay focused and open the door to your sixth sense to see.

I stepped on a gap in the spell trap.

If anyone sees it, it’s just a zigzag walk.

Encred passed as if he was walking a tightrope. Still, he thought it was worth it.

The realm of sixth sense and intuition.

I broke through the trap using only instinct.

How many people can do something like this?

I felt proud of that sense of accomplishment.

Of course, it was time to put these feelings aside for a while.

“first.”

The first one was surpassed.

Afterwards, I looked beyond the darkness and lit a torch.

I look at the road carefully, but I don’t feel the same ominous feeling as before.

However, it was clear that there was something ahead.

It was a hunch.

Encred walked out carefully, and soon he could see the guy who greeted him in front of him.

“Krrrrrrrrr.”

The back was curved, and sharp, spine-like bones protruded from where the spine was.

The skin color is so light that even in the light of the torch, it can be seen that it is bright blue.

The mouth is several times larger than that of a human, and the thick saliva flowing out makes it look like it is swallowing its mouth.

His fingernails were long, his forearms were thick, and his eyes were black.

I could glimpse the texture of muscle through the cracked skin.

He was a guy whose both fists were touching the floor thanks to his hunched back.

It is a Ghoul.

Monsters and beasts existed in this world.

According to theologians, gods were created long ago by killing each other.

That was none of Encred’s business.

The only important thing is that these guys exist.

If it resembles that of a beast, it is a demonic beast.

Everyone else was called a monster.

Ghouls were man-eating monsters that preyed on humans.

“Why are you popping out here?”

Can this be called undead?

The craftsman’s words were half true.

Because there was a monster down there.

However, instead of skeleton soldiers or something like that, ghouls appeared.

There is no intelligence to talk to monsters. They just see their prey and rush at it.

“Shut up!”

Ghouls eat humans. Their flat snub nose, which appears as a hole attached to the face without a bridge of the nose, was an organ that could smell humans.

When they smelled food, they suddenly attacked.

The cave wasn’t that cramped.

However, I was in no position to run left and right and swing my sword.

I have the discretion to move depending on the environment.

Sereung, Chang.

The moment he saw the rushing ghoul, Encred pulled out his long sword and tilted it forward.

‘three.’

There are two more guys behind one guy.

Generally, it takes two or three spearmen to kill one ghoul.

A skilled soldier could catch it alone with a sword.

It is tactically correct to avoid such attempts as much as possible.

Of course, if the situation is unavoidable, you will have to at least punch the ghoul in the face.

Just like Encred now.

Pow!

He thrust the blade tilted forward and plunged it into the chest of the first ghoul. He held the sword with only his left hand and pressed it down diagonally outward.

“Grrrrrrrrrr!”

A scream that could never come from human vocal cords erupted. A ghoul with a sword stuck in it was dragged by En Creed’s power and fell to her knees.

As a result, the blade went down to about a finger’s length from the guy’s body, but was unable to cut it in two.

This alone put a strain on the muscles of my left arm.

As I overpowered the guy, the guy running behind him swung his claws.

As I had expected, I pivoted around my left foot to avoid it and stretched out my free right fist to cut it off.

Sigh!

The head of the guy who had been hit squarely with a fist was lifted back. The shock was so completely conveyed that the guy couldn’t come to his senses. As the charge was halted, a third ghoul tried to pounce.

He stretched out his hands behind his back, but his arms were longer than the other two.

Ghouls are an inherently unruly race.

Some had long arms, and some had thick legs.

Encred noticed the last ghoul’s movements right away, so he just tilted his head and avoided the claws that were stabbing at him.

Now that we have created a gap, what should we do next?

‘singly.’

It’s okay to kill it.

If it had been before, truly before, before repeating today, he would have died a long time ago.

My experience, swordsmanship, and martial arts skills have now reached an extraordinary level.

He held the sword, which was only held with his left hand, with both hands and lowered it.

Strength goes into the muscles of both arms.

Buuuk.

“Cruck!”

A ghoul was split open from its chest to its crotch, with purple intestines spilling out.

The torch that had fallen to one side illuminated the faces of the two remaining animals, casting long shadows behind them.

Two monsters who have forgotten about fear attack again.

Even when there were three, Encred’s sword, which easily killed one, danced again.

He took a step towards a ghoul repeating a simple movement and cut off one of the goons’ necks with a horizontal upper slash using a double sword.

I tripped the last remaining one and stepped on his head with all my might.

Sigh!

Although my head didn’t explode like a pumpkin.

“Kruger, let’s go.”

Black bodily fluid was leaking from the broken head.

“Now I’m really curious.”

Encred said and plunged his sword straight into the head of the remaining ghoul.

Quick.

The tip of the sword pierced the ghoul’s head and stuck in the ground. Encred pulled out the sword that clawed at the broken head.

Three ghouls.

It was a fight that required at least six lower-ranking soldiers, but Encred easily won.

The ghoul’s fingernails were poisonous, so even if they brushed against them, they would spin, but they didn’t even graze.

It was also a moment to prove that all the training had not been in vain.

No one saw it, so it was a bit disappointing.

Soon I will be able to show it to the guy hiding inside.

That’s how stubborn my sword is.

“after.”

After catching his breath a few times, shaking off the ghoul’s bodily fluids from his sword, taking out some cheap linen from his pocket and wiping the blade, Encred went back inside.

Heading into the cave will soon become the path to tomorrow.

There was no hesitation.
