Chapter 680 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 680

While reflecting on the nature of mastery and the instinctive use of 'Will,' Enkrid experiences a profound breakthrough. He realizes that true mastery—whether in blacksmithing, cooking, or swordsmanship—allows one to perform actions instinctively without conscious thought. This realization allows him to bridge the gap between intention and action, achieving a state of adaptability similar to a Senior Knight. As he contemplates the idea that even ordinary masters wield Will, his heightened senses suddenly coalesce into a 'sixth sense,' allowing him to perceive the world through a blend of smell, sound, and touch. This heightened perception reveals a hidden threat: a killing intent directed at Ann. Using his newfound instinctive control, Enkrid swiftly slashes through a bat beast that was attempting to strike her. Ragna immediately reacts to the commotion, striking an owlbear that had also joined the ambush. Enkrid notes that the monsters' stealth is unnaturally high and detects a cloying, sickly-sweet scent of magic lingering in the air, which feels distinct from the monsters themselves. As the group gathers around the campfire in a state of high alert, Enkrid questions if the monsters are using magic, prompting confusion from his companions since they are currently in lawless, unclaimed territory. The chapter ends with Enkrid lighting a makeshift torch to scan the darkness, his senses remaining hyper-alert to the unseen presence.
