Chapter 3 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 3

Encrid experiences a terrifying phenomenon where he repeatedly dies on the battlefield and wakes up at the start of the same day. After several deaths caused by a skilled enemy soldier who delivers a lethal thrust and a subsequent blow to the head, Encrid realizes he is trapped in a time loop. He discovers that his village chief's necklace is missing, leading him to suspect it might be the cause of this repetitive cycle, which he views as a potential curse or a lifeline. Determined to survive, Encrid decides to use the loops to master 'The Heart of the Beast,' a technique Rem taught him to maintain calm and focus during combat. He asks Rem to restart his training, focusing on the ability to keep his eyes open and evade attacks at the last possible second. Through repeated, life-threatening practice sessions, Encrid successfully masters the timing, learning to dodge Rem's axe by shifting his body just before impact. Despite Rem's warning that facing superior opponents requires running, Encrid finds a newfound joy in the rapid growth and the ability to use his 'hundreds of lives' to overcome his limitations.
