Chapter 404 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 404

Lierbart, a man driven by desperation to overcome his lack of talent, undergoes a grotesque transformation into a chimera to mimic the strength of a Knight. As his body mutates with fur and heightened physical capabilities, he explains his philosophy to Encrid, claiming that one must risk their life and humanity to bridge the gap between a Squire and a Knight. Lierbart expresses deep bitterness toward the unfairness of natural talent and the struggle of his journey. Encrid, despite being a mere Squire, manages to defend himself using techniques learned from previous encounters with powerful warriors like Ragna and Rem. During the duel, Encrid's sword, Silver, cracks under the pressure, forcing him to switch to his Gladius. Encrid realizes that Lierbart's transformation is a desperate attempt to bypass the inherent limits of human talent, noting that Lierbart has never actually faced a true Knight. To provoke Lierbart, Encrid mocks him by comparing him unfavorably to Ragna, Rem, and Audin. This psychological blow snaps Lierbart's sanity, causing him to charge with lethal intent, vowing to kill Encrid and everyone he mentioned. As the duel intensifies, Encrid sustains multiple wounds but maintains his unwavering resolve, tapping into a new manifestation of his Willpower to prevent a defeat that would force him to repeat the day.
