Chapter 686 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 686

Ann demonstrates her resilience and alchemical skill by using a purification pill to drink contaminated water, proving she can survive the journey to the Border Guard despite the hostility she faces. As the group travels through a mountain path, they encounter a poison mist, which they identify as a magical trap. To avoid the mist, the group takes a detour, but they soon find themselves ensnared in a hex that distorts their sense of direction. Encrid realizes the enemy, likely from the House of Zaun, has set these traps to force the group into a predictable, slower route. Despite the confusion and the skepticism of Magrun and Grida regarding Ragna's legendary poor sense of direction, Encrid decides to trust Ragna's instincts to break the stalemate. Ragna leads the group through a chaotic, direct path, cutting through massive trees and sliding down cliffs to bypass the hex's influence. This decisive, albeit reckless, movement allows them to escape the spell's range by sunset, though they emerge facing west instead of north. Realizing the enemy has likely prepared multiple traps along the standard routes, Encrid decides to change their destination to a more direct route to Zaun, bypassing the Hunters' Village. Ann, determined to continue despite the rough terrain, suggests using a sleeping drug to remain secure on Ragna's back, and the group agrees to the detour.
