Chapter 256 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 256

A greedy, unnamed priest arrives at the barracks, claiming that his three days of prayer protected the territory and demanding donations for the temple and the people. He dismisses the deaths of soldiers, suggesting that blessings follow donations. Audin Pumrei, moved by the priest's lack of sanctity and his disregard for the fallen, uses a technique called 'Snake Step' to strike the priest in the face. The group, including Rem, Ragna, and Jaxon, reacts with varying degrees of irritation and indifference to the priest's behavior. To avoid a diplomatic conflict with the temple, Zimmer, a local commander, offers to take the blame for the assault, claiming he was the one who struck the priest. Zimmer successfully intimidates the priest the following day, threatening him with death in battle or being eaten by ghouls if he reports the incident to the temple. Encrid observes Zimmer's boldness and realizes that Zimmer's intervention protects the group from external religious interference. As winter sets in, Encrid continues his training while Krais Allman reflects on the strange kindness of the Black Blade Bandits, noting that they are only 'kind' because they are too eccentric to be truly dangerous.
