Chapter 263 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 263

The chapter begins with a historical overview of the 'Demon's Womb,' a group of wizards that once caused a catastrophe involving a demon and twelve Balrogs, leading to the demon being known as the Father of the Dead. In the present, Encrid interacts with Esther, a powerful witch currently trapped in a panther form due to a curse. Esther reflects on how Encrid's presence helps unravel the threads of her curse and contemplates her dual ambitions: revenge against the one who cursed her and her ultimate goal to reshape the world through magic. Despite her intense internal will, she finds herself increasingly drawn to Encrid, feeling a desire to support and watch him. Encrid and Esther head to the market, where Encrid observes the massive transformation of the territory. Through conversation with Kreise Allman, it is revealed that Marcus Baisar has been aggressively reinvesting the territory's growing wealth into massive infrastructure and defense projects. Marcus has been building watchtowers, digging moats, expanding barracks, and hiring mercenaries to turn the area into a fortified trading hub, often working his subordinates to the bone to achieve this rapid development. As Encrid enjoys the bustling market with Esther, the chapter ends abruptly when a hunchbacked assassin suddenly thrusts a knife into Encrid's side, prompting him to grab the assailant's wrist.
