Chapter 294 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 294

In a recurring mental realm, the Ferryman attempts to manipulate Enkrid by offering an easy path to escape the suffering of 'today.' The Ferryman advises Enkrid to evade his struggles, suggesting that abandoning a child would allow him to pass the day easily. Despite the mental strain and the temptation of the easy path, Enkrid refuses the manipulation. He returns to the physical battlefield, where he uses his Focus Point to enter a state of heightened perception, attempting to save a running child. However, his attempt fails as he is unable to strike fast enough to prevent the child's death. After eighty-six iterations of this cycle, the Ferryman grows puzzled by Enkrid's refusal to despair and offers a second chance: to prevent the entity behind the wall from reaching him by making it cross the river. Enkrid dismisses this offer, instead focusing on the concept of speed. Recalling advice from Kreise Allman about striking when an opponent is not looking, Enkrid realizes that true speed is acting outside the opponent's perception. He concludes that he must combine the instinct of the Sense of Evasion with deliberate intent, creating a 'Sense of Attack.' This realization shatters the psychological shackles placed upon him. As a new day begins on the battlefield, Enkrid prepares to face the child again, now possessing a new path to victory.
