Chapter 600 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 600

The chapter details the nature of the 'Walking Fire,' a catastrophic forbidden spell of creative magic that requires one hundred sentient sacrifices and the caster's lifespan to manifest. The spell consumes ambient mana and is nearly impossible to avoid once active. Through a magical mirror, Enkrid consults Esther, a witch, who explains that the spell can be defeated by enduring until its mana is depleted, though she warns of the extreme physical toll. Enkrid attempts to confront the Walking Fire by stripping off his heavy armor to endure the heat. He engages the entity in a high-stakes battle of precision, using his orichalcum blade to chip away at its flames to force mana depletion. During the fight, he witnesses the chaos in the city, including Lord Louis's evacuation orders and the tragic death of a mother and child. Enkrid manages to wound the entity but ultimately dies from the intense heat. Trapped in a time loop, Enkrid meets the Ferryman, who mocks his arrogance and futile attempts to protect others. Through numerous repetitions, Enkrid refines his ability to strip his gear mid-sprint and uses the mirror to gather more intelligence from Esther. He discovers a critical weakness: the Walking Fire replenishes its mana by consuming living beings, meaning it is at its weakest before it claims its first victim. Despite this knowledge, Enkrid continues to struggle against the cycle of death and the Ferryman's growing exasperation.
