Chapter 6 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 6

Encrid utilizes his ability to repeat time to master swordsmanship and the 'Heart of the Beast.' Through countless repetitions, he learns to navigate the battlefield, including saving the soldier Bell by using a shield to deflect arrows. During these loops, Encrid experiences death multiple times, most notably being struck by a hammer and having his throat pierced by an enemy soldier who finds pleasure in the kill. These near-death experiences strengthen his mental fortitude and courage. Rem, Encrid's squadmate, notices Encrid's rapid improvement and suspects he is learning from someone else. Rem challenges him, noting that while swordsmanship can be learned quickly, the mental toughness required for the 'Heart of the Beast' is harder to acquire. Rem uses his axe to demonstrate combat principles, explaining the concept of a decisive thrust and the importance of target intent. Through their intense sparring sessions, Encrid learns to refine his techniques by imitating the movements of his enemies. By the hundred and twenty-fourth repetition, Encrid's progress reaches a peak where he successfully executes a move that causes Rem's axe to explode, leaving Encrid laughing hysterically despite the danger, much to Rem's embarrassment and confusion.
