Chapter 196 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 196

While resting by a fire, Encrid shares food with a hungry beastman named Dunbachel. Dunbachel warns the group that the Black Blade Bandits have planned an ambush ahead. Encrid remains calm, observing a black-clad guard whose combat prowess piques his interest. The guard underestimates Encrid, dismissing him as a mere elite-level soldier. Tensions rise when the noble Vancento insults Rem, calling him a barbarian. In a sudden burst of violence, Rem kills Vancento by splitting his skull with an axe. The black-clad guard, realizing the group has no intention of following protocol, attempts to flee by wounding the horses, but Encrid engages him in combat. Despite the guard's quick movements and use of daggers, Encrid overpowers him with superior strength and speed, ultimately killing him by plunging his sword through the guard's head. After the skirmish, Encrid asks Dunbachel about the size and nature of the upcoming ambush. Dunbachel describes it as a small, elite force. Encrid and his companions, Rem and Ragna, prepare to face the ambush, with Encrid revealing he intentionally allowed the guard to think he had an advantage to induce carelessness.
