Eternally Regressing Knight - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 – Lantern

Through the eye slit of a leather helmet, a black dot appeared to be flying toward him.

Enkrid raised the shield fixed to the back of his left hand.

Thunk.

A heavy impact resonated through his arm.

He had aimed to deflect the blow while striking back, but only half succeeded, leaving his forearm tense and throbbing.

Enkrid slashed down with his blade over the helmet of the man who had lunged with a spear.

Crack.

The man reflexively twisted his neck, but the blade fell hard on his shoulder.

The dull thud of the impact on his scapula sent a stinging vibration through Enkrid’s grip.

“Urgh… You’re dead, bastard,” muttered the enemy, gripping his spear closer and swinging it in a short arc.
