Chapter 515 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 515

Following his ascension to Knighthood, Encrid experiences a shift in perception, feeling that his Will has become somewhat dull. His companions—Rem, Ragna, Jaxon, and Audin—all sense this change, observing that while he remains diligent in his training, he seems somewhat unfocused or lacking his former hunger. Jaxon notes that while Encrid is technically capable of winning a sparring match, he lacks the singular drive he once possessed. Meanwhile, Encrid communicates with the sentient sword, Aker, who reveals that its Will is nearing its end and requires Encrid's own Will to sustain itself. Aker explains that true knighthood requires not just skill, but strategy and ownership of one's blade. Encrid maintains a rigorous training routine, mastering basics and isolation techniques before heading to the market to repair his Gladius and purchase daggers. During his walk, he encounters Shinar, who offers to guide him, and Ragna, who also offers assistance, though Rem intervenes to prevent a quarrel between the two. As Encrid walks, he experiences a profound sense of change, realizing that his perspective on the world—the wind, the sun, and his own path—has fundamentally shifted. In the market, he is recognized by a group of disciplined soldiers. When one soldier asks how to become like him, Encrid advises him to find his own motivation, noting that no one can take up another's determination. The chapter concludes with Encrid arriving at a bustling market where rumors of an imminent war with Aspen are widespread, yet the city remains uncharacteristically calm and orderly.
