Chapter 383
Enkrid didn’t know this, but the Red Cloak Order had different insignias depending on rank.
For example, knights bore the three crossed swords of the royal crest alongside the Solar Tree, a mythical beast with a round head and a flaming mane.
Semi-knights had the same insignia—but with one less sword.
Squires bore only a single sword, and within that rank, the insignia’s shape would change depending on the tests and missions completed.
The one who had just thrust their sword at him bore an insignia with a single sword and a Solar Tree.
A squire, but one recognized for their skill.
They were only a few tests away from becoming a semi-knight.
Their sword was swift and precise—like an eagle snatching prey.
Enkrid, however, did not consider his opponent’s specialty or habits.
Instead, the moment their blades met—he twisted his sword.
Tidding!
The squire’s expression changed in an instant.
The force behind Enkrid’s blade felt like that of a giant.
It was only natural—he had shrouded himself in the Heart of Might.
Clang!
As the two swords clashed and flowed against each other, the squire’s blade was knocked upward—
While Enkrid’s sword traced the exact path he wanted.
A straight thrust.
At the end of that thrust—
The squire’s chest plate.
Thud. Crack. Squish.
Three sounds merged into one.
His sword tip pierced through armor and sank into the organ beneath.
The heart.
Enkrid withdrew his blade faster than he had stabbed, pulling it out in an instant—
And stepped back.
Exactly one step.
Even as blood welled up in his chest, his opponent swung sideways.
Whoosh!
A sword sliced through the space where Enkrid had just been.
Blood vessels in the squire’s eyes burst red.
“Ghhk.”
Still gripping his sword, he coughed out blood and collapsed sideways.
His eyelids fluttered.
The moment of death had arrived.
‘Why…?’
To the falling squire, everything seemed to slow down.
It was a phenomenon caused by thoughts accelerating at the brink of death.
He refused to accept reality.
Why had he lost?
Who was his opponent?
