Eternally Regressing Knight Chapter 88

88. Bonehead

Since I had narrowed the distance, I planned to end it with one blow.

As he raised his sword, something hit Encred in the face.

The heavy blow felt as if it had been hit by Rem’s fist.

A heavy impact was felt again on Encred’s head, who had fallen from his haunches down.

Encred reflexively pulled his chin and rolled to the side.

puck.

Then, something invisible again, an intangible shock wave, struck the place where he was.

It was a place without dirty sewage. Instead, a pile of wet dirt bounced and splashed into my face.

Encred’s eyes became busy as he squinted one eye.

‘I can not see.’

It would be an order.

It’s a natural expectation. I saw a head full of mouths with only her face visible.

Who would make such a thing possible?

“You avoided it. It just causes more suffering for no reason. “It won’t hurt if you stay calm.”

The male wizard spoke and waved his hand.

Since it was invisible, there was no way to stop it. Encred rolled to the side again.

A blade of wind passed by where he was.

Of course, Encred didn’t even know what that was. He just knew it was some kind of spell.

‘What should I do in times like this?’

I’ve met a lot of swordsmanship instructors over the years, and they have something to say whenever they talk about wizards.

“Wizard? “There is only one way to respond.”

“Bounce. “Run away without looking back.”

“Don’t deal with it. “If you don’t want to live or die for the rest of your life and just suffer until you die.”

“If you’re lucky, you’ll die. If you’re unlucky, don’t even think about it.”

Considering that there are some who have made a name for themselves, it is a reminder of the dangers of wizards and spells.

On the other hand, the troublemaker squad members had a slightly different perspective on wizards.

“Shoot him with a bow and kill him.”

This is Rem.

“They kill you when you’re not looking.”

This is Saxony.

“If you have to fight, wouldn’t you just stick close, brother?”

This is an answer worthy of Audin.

What is Ragna?

“If you just cut it, you die the same way.”

I answered.

Anyway, here is the conclusion.

It is better to avoid wizards.

However, if you must kill him, you can refer to Ragnar’s words.

‘If you get cut, you die the same way.’

So that will do.

There was no option to run back.

If you leave him alone, he will continue to do the same thing.

People will be torn like old clothes and scattered like rags.

A shoemaker and his daughter came to mind.

If you leave them alone, those two will be the first to die.

A weaver and his daughter.

Although it was one-sided, I watched it for dozens of days.

Even if there was no interaction, they prepared a meal for Encred, who was wandering in front of the crossroads, and left their worries behind.

However, they may not know of Encred’s hardships.

Yeah, you wouldn’t know.

But that’s not the point.

Even if no one knows, if there is something that needs to be protected, just protect it.

That was Encred’s dream, the path he decided to walk, and the destination indicated by the signpost.

“Go to sleep, don’t run away, be nice, it’s okay.”

The wizard said and snapped his fingers. With a clicking sound, light appeared from above the sewer.

It is a much brighter light source than a torch. Thanks to the light rising above my head, a shadow appeared to spread beneath my feet.

The wizard neither laughed nor got angry.

To him, this was just work.

Seeing the wizard like that, Encred concentrated more and opened the door to his sixth sense.

The wizard didn’t care about Encred’s movements.

The opponent is just an experiment, a scum, a piece of meat.

In his eyes, Encred looked like that.

When his hand moved again, an intangible shock wave flew out.

pop!

‘You’re lucky.’

To a wizard, it only appears that way.

Because Encred jumped to the side and dodged the spell.

And Encred was moving based on a strange sense.

‘I can not see.’

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

With a small realization.

Then you can’t feel it?

As if concentration and sixth sense combined to predict the movements of a wolf beast.

This time, we look at the hand gestures of the corpse lover wizard, predict what happens next, and feel anything.

Encred did just that.

The wizard sculpted the wind into a blade and threw it.

It is a blade of wind that bends and flies in three directions at the same time.

It was a spell that was harsher than the Shinigami’s scythe, and if caught, it would cut through that kind of cloth armor.

Encred dodged it by rolling to the side.

“Are you harmed again?”

The wizard continued to play with both hands as he spoke. As a result, invisible shock waves and blades were aimed at Encred in succession.

Encred avoided it all. It wasn’t luck.

It is the realm of the sixth sense, beyond the five senses.

Half-open eyes, ears that move and move, and skin that looks strange and covered in goosebumps.

Everything was reminiscent of a magician’s trick.

Still, he found a way to kill his opponent.

If you think about it calmly, it would have ended with just one whistling rain.

If you cut it, you’ll die, so if you cut a hole in its neck or head, you’ll die as well.

‘No, no.’

It’s pure feeling. said the sixth sense. Even rain can’t kill you.

So what is the best option?

I don’t know if this is natural.

I was just avoiding the magic based on my senses.

The opponent did something strange using a spell.

‘If you think of it as an arrow or a blade anyway.’

If you think the enemy soldier is wielding a blunt weapon or sword.

‘Is it a threat?’

no. It was avoidable. Rather, Mitch Huryer’s sword is sharper.

So avoid it. It was avoidable.

If Whistling Vido didn’t work, it was time to reflect on Auddin’s advice.

‘It just needs to stick.’

Dodge and immediately kick the ground. I saw the wizard’s eyes widen.

“This guy!”

The wizard was surprised. He is a guy who raises his sword and rushes forward, taking several steps at a time, avoiding the invisible magic.

The soldier’s cutlery reached a threatening distance.

Encred’s street, the swordsman’s street.

humming.

As the longsword’s blade fell on his head, the wizard shouted urgently.

“Swallow!”

Powerful mana and spells come together and are implemented in the world. The wizard’s words soon appeared in the world and exercised their power.

It was a spell that only a wizard with experience in the deep, dark world could see.

That’s how the spell materialized.

Originally, the wizard’s spell would have cut off part of Encred’s internal organs and destroyed them.

This wasn’t a spell that could be avoided by intuition.

But nothing happened.

No, there was one.

“Yuck.”

The wizard was embarrassed. The spell that was clearly supposed to be implemented was reflected and came back as a shock to my body.

His eyes saw the inside of the cloth armor with the blade of wind cut into it.

It was black leather armor, exuding a magical scent.

“You, what are you wearing?”

“Good things.”

Encred answered as he saw the wizard’s eyes land on his armor.

That seemed to have prevented some kind of trick from the other party.

Encred was quick-witted.

And his hands were as fast as his eyes.

Whoop!

The blade swallows the air. The metal that was struck down was a sword made by blacksmiths using a hammer and a spell called flame.

Jump, jump!

The head is cut off and exploded. I felt resistance blocking the sword in the middle, but I pressed down with force.

As the wizard was dying, he expressed his resentment in his heart.

‘I still have a lot to prepare! Varmilo! ‘Vamilo!’

I even tried to wake up my child, whom I named Varmilo.

Of course, everything failed.

Dead people can’t do anything. That’s no different from being a wizard.

It was impossible to affect reality through delusions after death.

“You look sad.”

Encred kicked the dead wizard.

Afterwards, Encred took off his Gambison, which was torn here and there. He couldn’t bear to wear any more. This was a board that couldn’t even be used as a mop.

There was no rush of reward.

There was little relief that I had survived.

Threat to life? There was, but it passed.

I just felt like I had done my job.

I killed someone who was supposed to kill me. That’s it.

‘Before I take care of it.’

Isn’t he the guy who set up various spell traps?

I searched inside to see if there was anything hidden here and there.

I was very careful in case another trap was triggered.

What I found was a thick brown book, a Crona bag containing five gold coins, a black wooden staff, several blue and white stones, and a pair of maroon gloves.

Encred took everything.

The rest was unnamed grass and other unknown items.

Just looking at them all made me feel uncomfortable and I didn’t have the slightest desire to take care of them.

Encred was cleaning his sword with the intention of returning it, but the middle of the blade broke with a snap.

“this.”

A sigh came naturally.

It may not be because the sword was used too harshly.

I felt a strange sense of resistance when I killed the last wizard.

Could that be the cause? I don’t know.

Anyway, I was going to have to buy another sword with the crona that the crazy wizard had saved up.

‘Shall we continue?’

Since it was said to be valerian steel, I didn’t know if it could be used again if it was repaired.

Encred just turned back and left.

My stomach was throbbing and my bones were sore from being hit by multiple shock waves, but I was able to endure it.

Encred, who was walking like that, came back after less than ten steps.

“It doesn’t turn off?”

I thought the wizard had tricked me with a spell.

Above your head, the light source remains the same.

I frowned and looked up, wondering what on earth I had done, and saw a floating rock emitting light.

‘It’s a magic tool that floats alone.’

Doesn’t it smell like Crona?

‘What is this?’

It was only a fist-sized stone. I jumped up and snatched it up, and the light continued to emanate from my hand.

It seemed like it would be a good item to use instead of a torch when going out.

Encred walked quickly again and returned the way he came.

After a while, a lake panther that looked like a black cat landed on the ground.

‘Seeing magic and avoiding it?’

Esther was very surprised. He had never thought that there was someone in the world who could do this.

Of course, the opposing wizard’s skills were poor.

Then I realized it again.

‘It’s natural that I don’t know.’

I didn’t live my life traveling around the world like that. She lived a rather reclusive life.

So, there must be someone with this talent somewhere.

anyway.

‘It was a windfall.’

Esther explores magic and devours knowledge.

There was a time when I was curious about another wizard’s grimoires and stole a few to look at.

Esther rummaged around with her fingernails and snorted.

‘The level.’

It was crude.

That’s how she sees it herself.

The windfall wasn’t something like this, it was this.

Did you say Bamilo?

A being created from the corpses of demonic beasts, monsters, and humans.

It was a guardian to supplement the wizard’s physical abilities.

Wizards often called these things flash golems.

To humans, it may seem like something that stimulates a primal feeling of discomfort.

It can be said to be a very useful monster for wizards.

Esther mustered up all her strength and raised her claws to carve a magic circle on the flash golem’s forehead.

A world of black earth and fire.

It was a technique that put a monster created beyond her spell world.

The dead wizard was even more stupid.

If the golem had been awakened from the beginning, Encred’s chances of winning would have been much lower.

Of course, he wouldn’t have just left it to himself.

Soon the work of engraving the magic circle was completed. The world is connected through magic.

The flash golem’s entire body began to break into pieces. It crumbles and disappears like dust.

It was a process of crossing over to another world connected to Esther’s inner world.

There was nothing left in the place where the golem was, other than a trace of where it had sat.

The leopard gasped when he saw that.

Esther was exhausted. I’ve used up all the remaining mana.

All I wanted to do was go back to my hotel and get some rest.

Still, I can’t help but decorate the ending.

Esther named the flash golem an unforgettable name in honor of the wizard who created it.

“Bonehead.”

He was the most asshole of any spell seeker he had ever seen.

* * *

“There’s a wizard in the sewers under the city?”

“yes.”

“And you killed it?”

“Yes, it is.”

Encred was calm, and the company commander was also calm.

Afterwards, she left to check, and Encred washed up and checked the equipment.

I was thinking of applying for a request to deal with demonic beasts right away, but my sword broke. The immediate priority was to obtain a sword.

“… … “What are you doing here?”

At the lodgings we stopped at, Rem saw Encred and asked.

“I went to war with boots.”

“No, does that craftsman make ego boots? “Boots fights so well?”

It was half a joke, half an expression of surprise.

Ego boots are a metaphor for the ego sword, and the ego sword refers to a sword that thinks for itself. Of course, it was a story at the level of a legend.

Not only Rem, but everyone else was looking at Encred, as if asking what was going on.

“I’ll report back first.”

The company commander would be back soon, so it seemed better not to get caught by being absent.

“What about Esther?”

Before going out, Encred looked around and asked, and Audin, who was in the corner, answered.

“I am away often. “I will return to you in the evening.”

He told me not to worry.

Well, it’s a leopard that looks cunning rather than smart. No one will be able to harm you.

I went back to the company commander’s office and soon after, the company commander came back.

“There is. Spell traps and dead wizards.”

“yes.”

“It was a potential danger underneath the city.”

“Is that so?”

“Good work.”

Encred, who was wary of the company commander’s jokes, showed military courtesy.

I pushed down the sword handle with my left hand and lowered my head.

Afterwards, when I returned to the dorm and explained the situation to my squad members, they were all surprised.

“Why is a wizard appearing there?”

“Well, all you have to do is cut it to death.”

“In the sewer?”

“You punished a bad guy. “Brother.”

Encred didn’t even know why there was a wizard there.

Although he wasn’t injured, he was so tired that Encred, who had rested for two days, had to listen to the blacksmith yelling while trying to put the sword back together.

“This is all ruined. no. What have you done? what? Cutting down a wizard?”

The blacksmith looked at Encred with strange eyes. It wasn’t like he believed it.

I decided to ask about the wizard thing. It was something that was not good for the citizens to know for no reason.

There was a threat, but there is no more.

Even if no one knew, Encred didn’t have any major complaints because it was meaningful to protect it.

“Assuming that’s true, do I look like a great person who could create a weapon to fight spells?”

A blacksmith who is well-respected by the Border Guard, but is not a craftsman worthy of making a name for himself on the continent.

That was exactly it.

When Encred shook his head, the blacksmith answered.

“I think it would be better not to do such things in the future, right? I can’t use this again. A good sword? Not now. Can you make me one? “There is no valerian steel, we have to use regular iron.”

Valerian steel was not something that was easily obtained.

“It’s a shame, that is.”

“You can wait a few days, but the schedule is a bit messed up due to the demonic beast. Someone I know said he’s bringing some wrought iron from Noir this time. You know it’s expensive, right? “You’ll have to bring a lot of it.”

The blacksmith spoke and showed his open palm.

It was a mouth-watering sound. The strength of wrought iron from Noir is several times higher than that of ordinary wrought iron, so when used in weapons, it could become one of the most expensive weapons in the blacksmith shop, even if it did not sound like a famous sword.

In some ways, it is a more difficult product to obtain than valerian steel.

So, I have no choice but to look forward to it.

I was on my way out after stopping at a blacksmith shop.

“Hey, hey! Hey, soldier!”

A familiar voice caught Encred.

It was in the middle of the market. The person holding the crossing path walked half-jumping towards Encred and held out an old pocket.

It was a fairly bulky pouch. One pair of boots will fit comfortably.

“ruler.”

“What is it?”

“The shoes are all worn out, put them on.”

He was a shoemaker. He doesn’t know it, but Encred is the owner of the hole-in-the-wall shoe shop that he’s been around for dozens of days.

“Why this?”

“If you give it to me, just take it and that’s it.”

The craftsman grunted as if he was embarrassed and turned around. And Encred burst into laughter.

The weaver does not know what he has done. All I could think of was gratitude for processing the request.

One boot.

It could be said that killing a wizard with a strange hobby was nothing special.

The boots were new.

The finishing is particularly meticulous, with no inconvenience whatsoever.

That was enough.

Encred packed his boots and returned to his dorm.

And the next day.

Although Encrud was not familiar with it, he strapped the arming sword Ragna had for emergency use to his waist and set off to kill the demon beast.

There was no question that practical combat was what was needed now.

I was a little anxious.

Because I wanted to quickly put into use the experience I gained while exploring the wizard’s den.

He was more motivated than ever.

“Am I mistaken when I look so excited about going to kill the demon beast?”

Rem joined us and smiled on the way out.

“no. That’s right, I’m excited.”

Encred responded well to Rem’s words as usual.

It was also sincere.
