Chapter 598 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 598

Apostle Annela, the Angel of Calamity, orchestrates a massive trap using an entire city as bait to punish Enkrid for refusing the Cult of the Demon Realm Sanctuary. She sacrifices her remaining lifespan to cast the forbidden spell "Walking Fire," a mindless, humanoid entity of undulating flames. The creature arrives at Cross Guard, incinerating everything in its path. During a brief nap, Enkrid is caught in the destruction; he witnesses the death of Delma and Luagarne as the Walking Fire consumes the city. Enkrid is burned alive and dies, only to wake up again via the Ferryman's intervention. Trapped in a time loop, Enkrid experiences the same day repeatedly. He attempts various strategies: using Luagarne's whip, trying to cut the flames, and attempting to outrun the creature, but the Walking Fire is an unstoppable forbidden spell that burns until its energy is depleted. Over eighty cycles of agonizing death, Enkrid's mental state is tested. During these loops, he interacts with the Ferryman on the black river. The Ferryman offers cryptic advice, suggesting Enkrid flee or take others to the underground refuge, but Enkrid refuses to abandon his post. The Ferryman eventually challenges Enkrid's resolve, questioning if a bond forged in only three days is worth the risk of his life. The chapter ends with Enkrid contemplating the depth of his connections against the overwhelming inevitability of the fire.
