Chapter 555 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 555

As the group travels, the narrative explores the social stigma of being labeled a heretic, noting how the church often uses the label for political advantage. Audin Pumrei, a former inquisitor, confesses to being a heretic, explaining that he carries the divinity of the God of War despite his expulsion. He reveals that his mental anguish and self-punishment stem from his past actions as an inquisitor, where he arrested people he now believes were innocent. Encrid listens to Audin's confession without offering empty comfort, instead observing that the corruption of the church is not Audin's fault. This conversation provides Encrid with a realization regarding his own sword technique, the Wave-Blocking Sword, teaching him that rushing toward a solution is not always the correct path and that resolve requires steadfastness. During their journey, they encounter harpies and engage in combat, which allows Encrid to observe Audin's martial techniques. They pass through Zaltembock, where Rem is met with fear by locals due to rumors about his temperament. Upon returning to the Border Guard, Encrid formally announces the founding of a new knight order called the 'Mad Knights,' a decision that quickly becomes known across the continent.
